Paul on American Idol

2008-04-23T21:16:00+01:00

Right after contestant David Archuleta finished his Phantom of the Opera song (Think of Me), the camera pointed to the only ‘real’ Phantom sitting in the audience. Paul is rumored to be in talks to star as the Phantom in the Las Vegas production: Phantom, The Las Vegas Spectacular.

Andrew Lloyd Webber, also in the audience, took the Idol contestants to the Las Vegas Phantom theatre to practise. When you put two and two together it almost looks like Paul will be Phantom again, this time in Vegas. Note to self… having some recordings of Paul performing as the Phantom in Toronto I should do a Phantom/Paul podcast.

World champ meets Rock Champs

2008-03-13T11:24:00+01:00

I figure a lot of people would like to express their opinion or talk about the new tour (you know, share concert stories, discuss setlist) and what better way to do that right here since I will be covering the Alive 35 tour anyway.

I set up some default Forums to start with. These made the most sense at the moment, we will see how discussion develops and can always anticipate new Forums being added or irrelevant ones being cut. Of course these boards will also come in handy when new Podcast shows are released, it’s much easier to talk about show contents, show audio when you the space and platform to do so.

Although registration is required to make and respond to posts, it is free to register and all are welcome. You can set your own avatar (if you don’t have one, there is a default set from which you can choose) and signature to distinguish yourself visually. Hopefully you like the compact design of the Forum pages, please keep in mind that some minor bugs can appear due to the boards being brand new. When this happens just drop me an e-mail. Also if you have any suggestions let me know too.

Please enjoy the new Forums and please keep it clean, thanks .

New shows soon!

2008-02-15T21:32:00+01:00

Dion is back doing the KISS Podcast. Broadcasts will resume very soon, I have to do some site and equipment upgrades before new shows will air.

Starting in Oberhausen on May 9th 2008 (European tour start), I hope to see a lot of German and international KISS fans outside Oberhausen Arena. Spread the word, spread the word .

Enjoyed myself at the UK KISS Expo

2005-11-22T22:00:49+01:00

My trip to the UK was a big succes and I enjoyed myself immensely (thanks Nige). I recorded over 5 hours worth of audio during the UK KISS Expo, which will take me some time to edit and make a new show. The old show is almost done but because I’ll be in Paris for 4 days (yeah, I get around these days ) it is going to take a little longer to release.

In the meantime I added some pictures to the Gallery, for you to enjoy, taken during the UK KISS Expo III. You can also enjoy this video of Eric Singer playing drums with UK tribute band Dressed to Kill on the song Do You Love Me (AVI - 9,8 Mb, 1:00 min, 320x240). More photo’s and video’s can be found here on Martin Curtis’ website.

Updating and troubleshooting

2005-08-11T19:26:53+01:00

This has been a fun day. The hosting provider for The KISS Podcast decided to update their servers with a new version of PHP (security update) which left our content management system crippled. Luckily for me a new version of the cms was made available because of this php security update. So I spent most of the day updating and troubleshooting the website. I also took the opportunity to update our subscription feed and install some new website features which I am going to be telling you about in the next show. Sorry for the inconvenience. Everything should work normally but if you experience any problems you can always contact me.

Fixed all archived shows

2005-08-06T19:01:10+01:00

Due to a server change at the Internet Archive (where all the old shows are hosted) all archived KISS Podcast shows were not available anymore. Due to some attentive listeners I was made aware of this problem and able to correct the links to the shows. Apologies to everyone who wanted to download the archived shows but was not able to do so. The problem is fixed and I hope you will enjoy listening to the archived shows.

The KISS Podcast show number 7

2005-08-06T13:05:00+01:00

Also I mention the KISS events I will attent and I let you know why it took so long to release a new show.

Ryan’s podcast is called: Roxie’s Big Rock Show and can be found at his weblog. The second show features an interview with our very own Eric Singer recorded while they were touring in Australia.

KISS Expo United Kingdom

2005-07-12T12:23:00+01:00

Main attraction during the Expo will be Eric Singer, hot from the Alice Cooper UK tour (which will end November 17th in Bournemouth). There is a Live performance from tribute band Dressed to Kill and Ian Lee (from UK Channel 4 tv station) will be present.

I am excited about visiting this expo to do some live reporting from the event for The KISS Podcast and to do interviews with attendees, dealers, the tribute band (and hopefully Eric). If you are interested in attending the Expo make sure you check out low cost airline BMI Baby.com for cheap flights (as low as 1,90 euro) to the Nottingham East Midlands (EMA) Airport.

Thanks for supporting The KISS Podcast

2005-07-10T16:04:50+01:00

Yesterday I received a cheque from the Google Adsense program in the mail. I was pleasantly surprised to see a certain amount being generated by all of the KISS Podcast supporters which have been clicking on the Google banner bellow. This helps big time to cover all the costs I have to make to keep this podcast up and running, such as: hosting expenses, gear purchases, etc. I guess putting a Google Adsense banner up really helps, so a thank you is in order here to anybody who clicked the banner.

Jason Salas interviews Dion

2005-07-10T15:48:24+01:00

As I finish KISS podcast show number 7 you can listen to the interview which is about 45 minutes long. We talk about podcasting in general, gear tips, the playing of copyrighted music and discuss artists covering KISS tunes, like Cher for instance.

KISS Exposed II home video

2005-07-01T18:07:02+01:00

The main reason I am interested in this video footage is to see if the audio would be up to standards to broadcast on The KISS Podcast. With the new KISS DVD being prepared for release I realized how much I love those Exposed, Konfedential and Second Coming editions. The backstage footage is great to watch and some of the audio is pretty hilarious. So hopefully something good will come out of this never before released home video footage. Let me know what you think…

I watched the first disc and must say the audio is not that great (hey, it’s a bootleg copy and was filmed 15 years ago). Hopefully the other 2 discs are better, if not, I’ll try to make it work so I can make a show out of the footage and include some other Hot In The Shade songs and interviews. You can find the set on eBay if you are interested in footage like this. I’ll try to put the new show online this weekend.

New iTunes with Podcasting support

2005-06-29T20:43:00+01:00

Also new is the iTunes Podcast Directory within the iTunes Music Store. The directory features over 3,000 free podcasts which you can find with ease and subscribe to in a second. The KISS Podcast is not yet listed in this directory but that does not mean you cannot play or subscribe to The KISS Podcast through iTunes. KISS fans can now experience an integrated solution for listening to the show.

Here is how it works:
1. Download iTunes version 4.9 for Windows or Mac.
2. Install on your computer.
3. Subscribe to The KISS Podcast feed through the ‘Advanced’ menu tab in iTunes.

I am in the process of preparing The KISS Podcast for inclusion into the iTunes Podcast Directory to ensure the subscription process is even easier. Until that happens, please use the above method to enjoy The KISS Podcast show.

So now that I am back home I will answer all my e-mail, upload the next KISS Podcast, the vacation special… do some laundry, ironing and, well, you know what needs to be done after a vacation.

Podcast support coming to iTunes

2005-05-23T09:04:00+01:00

At the San Diego All Things Digital conference on Sunday, Apple CEO Steve Jobs demonstrated new podcast features in the next version of iTunes (presumably 4.9). Jobs said the new version of iTunes will be released within the next 60 days.

Why am I posting this on the KISS Podcast site? iTunes is the solution for listening to audio on your computer, integrating the downloading and listening aspect of Podcasting in the new release of iTunes will make things a lot more comfortable for KISS Podcatchers (KISS Podcast listeners).

Punky Mendoza interviews KISS Podcast

2005-04-12T20:52:54+01:00

I?m the guy who stayed completely sober during my band?s tour with KISS. I had so much respect for Stanley and Simmons that I even went out of my way not to absorb nectar poisoning. As soon as the tour finished I got plastered and fought with my manager because he said Gene Simmons looked like something out of the Munsters.

Ace Frehley on Howard Stern

2005-04-04T20:39:32+01:00

I tried to record the Ace part from the Howard Stern show to broadcast it on The KISS Podcast but the 3 hour recording corrupted when the recording program crashed due to the length of the recording. ~~If anybody taped the show digitally and wants to submit a copy please let me know so I can air it on the show.~~

I am glad to report that I have found a copy of the interview. I will air it in one of the upcoming shows. This copy only includes the part where Howard interviews Ace, not the stuff that happened after the commercial break where Howard laid down the law to one of his colleagues and said no one is to hand ANYTHING to ANY Guest without Howard’s approval first (this part was not really that interesting). More on that on the Howard Stern website.

Corps concert pictures

Although the pictures are small you can still see the huge rack of amplifiers on the right and left of Eric and a huge screen above Eric where a huge KISS logo is projected. Thanks to the Sagafoo.com KISS Forum for the link.

Rock and Roll Geek Show

2005-04-04T09:15:47+01:00

The Rock and Roll Geek Show is a podcast about Rock music and is made by Michael Butler, he is the bass player from the band American Heartbreak and has been podcasting his show for a while now. I personally really love his show. If you are into any type of Rock and Roll besides KISS and because Michael is a KISS fan himself, you should definately check out the Rock and Roll Geek Show. Thanks a lot Michael for the mention.
