Twisted Sister mops the floor with fakes like Kiss.

I just found this. This is great!! Great convo about my favorite band. Any KISS episodes will be well welcomed!!

Had dinner with G&P.. Eric and Bruce. 93.. Paul was kinda stand offish.. He knew I was a fan and warmed up a bit. But he was a dick to the waiter, kinda.. I had a pic of him and it was all black around his face.. I said "Hey Paul, sign your face.." He looked at me with disgust... signed it on the black part.. with black marker.. I said "You can't see it.." So he did re sign it with a silver sharpie

Stop interrupting people you interview.

Paul has many more gold records tho.

She’s the Queen of music and such a Gorgeous woman.I have her b&w headshot from the guys at the poison house(I borrowed it)and I forgot to return it so they put up another bcz we all love Athena

It seems that Robin tells it as it is. He speaks a little bit higher of Juan and Stephen, but doesnt speak much about Warren or Bobby. This band kicked ass in the day and seems to have become so dysfunctional as they got famous. He is right, the EP and the first Ratt album were Ratt. Say what you want, King was the heart and soul of the band. The success just destroyed them . I think Robin is right, they should have taken time off and then gotten their shit together and then gone back in. Wont change anything now. But I wonder who was the stick in the mud of the group. Seems Bobby and Warren. As much as I hoped it wouldnt be Warren. What a fucking mess.

No offense but you’re an awful interviewer

He sounds like gob bluthe with all the humming an ha'ing

Para mi fue el mejor album de tygers y mejor grupo del 80 yo tenia 16 años en ese tiempo y lo tuve en vinil no he escuchado otro grupo tan potentes como ellos fueron unicos desde chihuahua angel rodriguez garcia saludos a los que saben del buen heavy

dee is a girl leftie

That was fascinating

These ahahuuh.. Bullshit. Boring

snider's an azz, c'mon

Bobby is wacky and doesn't understand what made RATT cool.. it sure as shit wasn't;t him. It was the attitude and Robin. Even Stephen got that, that's why they took a break. Since Bobby was so insecure and had NOTHING else going he swooped in and basically took the name while the rest of the band was like "tf is he doing?" hes a gooch.. he's never left 1986 (which he was lucky to even be in RATT) and was a last member lol. weird

Back in 91 I had a band called Opera we were doing what Rhapsody eventually did we were ultra classical with full blown. Orchestrations from sequencing keyboards with the drummer playing to a click track we had a tascam 488 porta studio that we put extra back up vocals and some acoustic guitars and a rhythm track in the background it made a difference because how elaborate the arrangements were unfortunately new only did this in rehearsal then people started quitting the band cause of the demands that I was putting on them and when your playing Gothic progressive neo classical metal you don't have a big pool to choose from where I'm from

Huge fan of Toms work. I still find it interesting there's still the long ago rumor, that Nikki had some help writing Shout with a possible ghost writer. It was extremely common in those days, i.e Dee Snider. It's been said he never wrote songs ever like that again, and seems a bit unbelievable if you listen to them now. Not "Looks that Kill", that's a stolen Judas Priest/Saxon riff but, others like "Too Young to Fall In Love", and ""Danger" Who knows. Its not something Tom Werman would discuss anyways. People said Nikki certainly did not play bass on Shout either, even though Tom denied it. Greg Leon said 100% he saw a stand- in, in the studio during "Theatre", and that it was not Sixx, and of course the weird Matthew Tripp story.

❤ im really sadden by the passing of this great amazing artist CJ SNARE I WAS SO EXCITED THAT FIREHOUSE was coming to perform in my town at the time where I was living ERIE PENNSYLVANIA YAY BUT OF COURSE I DIDNT GET TO GO AND.

I wood leave paul alone to be honest

You know a producer has nothing to do with the songs. When you compliment the album because of the “songs” it’s not a compliment. A producer has to do with sonic production, maybe arrangement, performance, other things like that.

Dee Snider just popped up on my youtube feed. I read the comment that set it off. Dee made it clear that he was criticizing the decision to reuse Ace and Peter's makeup and that he had a good opinion whenever they developed new makeup. It was that aspect alone he took issue with. I think he is right. Dee has done more for rock and roll than Paul Stanley ever will. He took the banner into battle in the censorship war in congress. Kiss is a mind numbing party song band. I don't think they have done a song that wasn't about sex or women. These weren't very deep artists. Even the hair bands had an occaisional song about something else.

I'm a kiss 70s fan mainly ace twisted sister not so much but I'd rather hang out with dee than synching Stanley any day

Could you imagine being marrooned on a desert island with Paul Stanley, Dee Snyder, and say Richard Simmons 🤣😆😅😂. You'd be praying for god to send you a pistol with just one bullet in it, because you know even if you were rescued there's no amount of therapy that could help you after that experience 😂😅😆🤣

I was a big KISS fan back in the day and never a TS fan or any of those other eighties hair metal bands, but for anybody in KISS to call anybody else a buffoon is just hilarious 😂😅😆🤣

Mitch and Gordon LOVE the smell of their own farts...

I come back and listen to this interview often. Such an honest and raw interview. The best. Such a sincere awesome person. Rest in power Robin!

I wrote for Music Connection magazine from '86-'89 & did a story on Kenny's career there. I didn't know he had passed away for years & decided to look up more into what happened. I appreciate hearing this interview where he sounded like his usual self & it's hard to believe he died just 2 months later. But Jesus, a clue: After asking someone a question, kindly shut up & let them answer it. I gave up counting how many times you stepped over what sounded like an interesting answer & we'll never know what Kenny would've said had you not (again) interrupted him.

Imagine being 22 years old & having the world in front of you, doing what you love then ....to have an ending like this to all of it....

I think theater of pain is one of there best albums they made..

Both these bands. SUCK

Paul Stanley is really talented, but I don't take his opinion of others with a grain of salt. Vinnie wrote messages on My Space. Dee's right, he doesn't have a problem with anyone. He's good mannered. He's sweet. I don't know why Paul Stanley attacked Dee Snider, but there are many people who feel the Kiss make-up is part of Ace's character. Paul shouldn't fight over this. That's half their fans. Paul takes things too personal, then he strikes back one thousand fold, and it's a behavior. Paul has missed the bigger picture here, which is fans can have opinions different than his. It's not an attack on him or Kiss.

I totally agree with Dee.

🥁

Why does Eric Singer get a pass? He did the same thing. Singing Beth like Peter did, wearing Peter's makeup, and playing fake piano too. Eric is worse than Tommy in my opinion. Also Tommy had a career before hand with Black N Blue and he even played additional guitar on hot innthe shade (before Eric Singer even had anything to do with KISS) Eric Singer took the job while Eric Carr was still battling cancer, later got fired for the reunion tour, got pissy about it but wasn't long rejoining and putting on Peter's makeup when Gene and Paul told him too! ...Eric doesn't deserve a pass at all! Scab KISS with two imposters is lame i agree but don't put all of that on Tommy! It wasn't his decision! It was Gene and Paul who made him, as for Eric he was was already fired once but crawed back and did what his masters said and defends it! So don't give him a pass!!

Great interview Mitch! Appreciate u! Hope you’re doing well!

subhuman race was a solid record, and it kicked ass live. i hate when people try to bash it. it was heavy, and fresh.

😀

King is the best sinnger. Sorry bruce and rob.maiden and preist rule metal.Now we have a king.

sals story about getting kicked out of a kiss concert was hilarious

World best drummer

my long, long time friend Mike Vescera ( originally with Obsession. a CT. band in 80's ) took Minoru's place for a few years in that band.

3:21 adam lookin at the ducks 😭🖤

I were in a band in the early 90s in Los Angeles and Kenny Kerner wanted to manage and produce our band but we turned him down. Professional guy though! we thought he didn't see our vision or direction.

what a treat Mitch!! how cool is Peppy!!

I didn't know they were drawing 5,000, 8,000, 15,000 a night like Bobby said. No wonder he's doing it. Let me pull up some live shows on KZbin, and check these crowds out. 😅

Besides Izzy, Steven was my favorite member

Your all older now set in do in what tries to throw a new band hope we like it I'm not going to jam ratt with out pearcy peace later

Gordon awesome, he’s a character himself. Funny as F
