Ep 504 : The Story About the Lost 1970s Authorized KISS Biography
Episode 504. This episode is a rock n roll geeks dream! We are joined by author David Leaf who discusses his 1970s authorized KISS biography that was written and then shelved. Only to reappear decades later as part of the KISS: Behind the Mask – The Official Authorized Biography. Why was his original book shelved and how it end up in Behind The Mask? Then the discussion turns to Brian Wilson and The Beach Boys… The Beatles and Paul McCartney… Charles Manson as we discuss David’s new book, God Only Knows: The Story of Brian Wilson, the Beach Boys and the California Myth.

While everyone else is reviewing the new Creatures of the Night we are still waiting for our copies. One year after the KISSonline shipping fiasco with the Destroyer box set nothing has improved with the shipping of the Creatures of the Night box set. Over a week after release date Michael’s box set has been sitting somewhere in Southern California for three days. This is after the first shipping alert email was sent out on November 18th. His box set has been on a tour of the US… leaving MI for OH, then on to OK, then a stop over in NM and now Southern CA. NEVER purchase anything from KISSonline that you can purchase from Amazon. Box sets purchased from Amazon, for less money, arrived on release day. Just another reason to ask… does KISS care any longer?
Forget the haters, we won!
