Ep. 272 Big John Harte Former Head of Security for KISS Shares His Stories
Big John Harte and the Stories Behind No Photos of KISS!
Episode 272, March 6, 2018. This week we are joined by the legend, Big John Harte! Big John was head of KISS security and is famous for being the man who would stick his hand in the face of photographers trying to take pictures of KISS without makeup. Of course John did much, much more than making sure nobody took a picture of KISS out of makeup and we talk with him about all of the various things he did for KISS. John also talks about his soon to be released autobiography and the Pledgemusic.com campaign he launched and the many cool rewards you can purchase.
When it comes to celebrity bodyguards, few fill the heart and imagination like Big John Harte. Plucked by fate from obscurity, Big John’s brooding presence, wry sense of humor, and gentle giant image is the stuff of legends.
Big John Harte, protector of Rock Gods: Kiss, Iron Maiden, Billy Idol, Prince and more! The now-classic images of this hulking wrestler-like mustachioed man with his giant hands shielding an unmasked Kiss member are indelibly etched into your brain. It’s symbolic of the important role Big John played throughout the years — from the heady, narcissistic 70s til today — creating a human barrier between the public and some of our favorite stars. It would be hard to think of the glory days of Rock and Heavy Metal without him.
You know the lore, now find out where and how it all began…
