Hi folks, the cat is on

chat not cat

band name really speaks to me

there's gotta be 1-800 # for help

tobias Tobias T O B I A S 💥💥💥

a timeless melody

I am here for riffs.

Well, I'm glad you're here now. I got my faves on the station like Jerry Gordon esoterica Lizbot but luckily I get to catch their shows often. You're one of my favorites somehow alludes me, but I always enjoy it and Readie is turning into that because since she moved, I never hear her anymore.

The fall schedule is posted on our website. Think of it as a rock and roll TV Guide.

Eludes not alludes.. i'm talking into this thing and obviously I have a mush mouth.

got it

Yeah I know the schedule it's just I kinda I'm at the mercy of my work schedule and often when I can't listen is when you happen to be on. And like I say it's getting that way with

Readie's show as well

well, just keep us on at all times.

Any Ace tonight? Have to say I really had listened to kiss in years, but man that was the coolest thing in the world when I was a kid and I would've started my lifelong passion of guitar playing if it hadn't been for Ace Frehley

next hour he will appear

Ahhhhh cool

Yessss ACE. Same, g jax

mentioned on air

Comparable to Ozzy. But for me, Ace was more influential. But that's the age I am. As a 12 year-old kid first picking up a Guitar and you see THAT. It was like sensory overload.

true

Enjoyed your show on my drive home, thanks!

(and still enjoying)

Cool, thanks Bike R

When I was in 3rd grade, I had classmates whose parents took them to KISS with older siblings. Was so jealous of the tour books - tees they brought in.

This is like if Harry was doing a Joe Cocker impression or something. Somehow I never heard this before but when you first asked, I'm like this is gonna be awesome. And it's not. But it's very interesting to hear. I do like hearing it.

It sounds like they have the Mind Games crew in the studio.

jimboooo, I didn't go there, but my parents did drop me off at Replacements show.

yeah, I'm sad to say I never saw kiss in their heyday either I was a huge fan, but I was just a little little too young to go. And I knew kids my age that did go, but I wasn't one of them if I was one year older. I probably would've made it

I hear everybody talking about it in school. And they have their programs and their T-shirts and what not. Yeah, my parents were never gonna go for that. Let me go to something like that at that age.

kids actually went to the concerts of the t-shirts back then

I did see them in 1990 in makeup!

I hope you told your parents if they were still around.

Was 1990 when they first reunited with the make up with both Peter and Ace? I think that's the year I saw them. I know it was their first tour with the make up again.

never saw them. too late now.

I saw him a couple times without make up too. I know I saw him with Bruce Kulick playing guitar. I think I might've even seen them with Vinny Vincent.

damn, you're part of the Kiss army.

aces so shows were infamously often bad yet at the same time being hilarious. There was that one time he played the local bar. I used to play at called Bonnie's in Atco.

I wasn't there yet. Yet another thing I missed story of my life. But people talk to that about that for years Ace was drunk out of his mind.

hit or miss shows make for good memories

The next song is going back to a German 90's band that this song reminded of. You know who I'm talking about.

yes, I want with the obvious choice. Friday night party time.

Your show is great

Love complex indie rock...soso good

Kiss alive still a really cool album

One of the first albums I bought still think it's cool... Just re bought used copy with booklet to remember ace and my kid hood ....when music really mattered

Thanks to all of the below comments, Space Cowboy

More complex indie rock! Keep it coming

Saw kiss in 1978....they were kinda over by then

Dance music you were playing was great too

a little of both

You can say my id who cares go ahead

You ca

You are killing it love it....

Could you sneak in parasite from kiss alive... Written by ace

sorry, every second is counted for. I already dropped Suzi Quatro for him.

Yeah Space Cowboy. KISS Alive is still good. It's not like I listen to kiss anymore, but that is a great record and I absolutely love them when I was a kid and particularly ace.

Ace had easily the best solo record too.

yup

Same g Jax very big deal when I was younger

I still think Rock N Roll Over was their best studio record. I always liked Hotter Than Hell too.

I think their 1974 live stuff still holds up ....

Really everything until destroyer and destroyer was huge and it had its moments, but that was too overproduced even to me as a kid.

Maaan. I remember that ... I think roll over was when the kids on our block got into them

Yeah there was a TV commercial for that record. And that's when they had that big giant poster out at Spencer gifts.

I'm sure lots of people will listening back tonight.

I think it was that commercial for rock 'n' roll over is when I actually saw what kiss look like in concert for the first time. I was hooked.

I do have an Ace up sleeve.

A buddy of mine was in some cover band competition on VH1 a couple years back and Ace was one of the judges. His band I think was the runner-up. Anyway, at one point there was like a jam and he's like wow I finally got to jam with Ace.

Omg Spencer's ....yes I bought a few kiss posters there...they have a kiss posters in the bedroom of a kid on that sevinties show and I'm like... I know that's poster!

good for him

I know we used to go crazy for the tinest scrap of kiss on tv... So long ago

now it's all rabbit holes of everything you remember

Ya had to be ten in 1975 to get it

I was 11 in 75

Well there ya go

Prime KISS age

Yup

Ohhhh this good...

Agreed

Really good show...

Thanks Space Cowboy

TY TT! Lovvvvvvvvvvvve ROKY

Thanks for all the comments tonight and all the other listeners out there
