Ep. 467 RIP Big John Harte Memories of Big John and His Last Words to the KISS Army

Episode 467, February 18, 2022 This episode we are joined by Robert Conte, Steve Altman and Rick Stuart to share memories and stories of Big John Harte. Big John Harte was KISS’ infamous bodyguard responsible for keeping the band safe and making sure nobody photographed Gene, Paul, Ace and Peter out of their makeup. John passed away on February 11, 2022. John might have looked imposing, but he was a quiet and gentle person. Rick talks about when he first hired John, shares stories from their time with KISS. Steve talks about when he first met John when John was working with Iron Maiden. Robert talks about working with John on his book and updates all of us on the status of Big John Harte’s book… yes it is going to be released. Robert ends the show by sharing Big John Harte’s final message to the KISS Army.

Please share with us your memories of Big John Harte.
