Episode 19: Destroyer

On March 15th 1976 KISS unleashed their magnum opus, an album that might as well be considered a greatest hits before it was even released. Destroyer was the album that KISS was looking for. An album that truly represented themselves as artists, it took what they were doing live and  finally captured that spirit on vinyl. With producer and song writer on the album Bob Ezrin brought out parts from each band members that they didn't know they had. 

This episode we look at the album as a whole. We look at each song track by track, we pick what other singles could have be used for radio, rank the album cover and the album with what has been done on the show so far. This also wraps up the 45th Anniversary Super Deluxe Box Set series as well.  Nick. Nikko, and Rob will take you through the city streets of Detroit Rock City and beyond as we look at Destroyer!

EPISODE 11 SHOW NOTES: 

Topic: KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park (Commentary Track)

For our first annual Halloween episode we thought we would kick off the trick or treat season in style! At the height of KISS’ popularity in 1978, the band set off to make a TV movie that was billed to them as The Beatles A Hard Day’s Night meets Star Wars… more on that later. So on October 28th 1978 at 8pm this TV movie event was released. This podcast is also released on its 43rd Anniversary.

Grab your copy of KISSology vol.2, push play on the podcast and your DVD/Blu-Ray players and we will watch this film together. and discuss the film and try not to crack up to much. RBTE Theater starts now! Happy Halloween!

It was 1980 something, and we can all remember sitting down with our boom box and making that perfect KISS Mix Tape. You poured over it, you had to pick the right songs that expressed what this band means to you.... but each song had to fit just right on the tape. Maybe it was  your road trip tape, maybe it was the tape you gave your best friend, maybe it was the tape you gave that special someone, OR when someone would say KISS sucks and you said HELL NO!... LISTEN TO THIS! So we are going back in time and making a RBTE Mix tape just for you! Lets BANG this one out!

What is it we do here at InObscuria? Every show Kevin opens the crypt to exhume and dissect from his personal collection; an artist, album, or collection of tunes from the broad spectrum of rock, punk, and metal. Robert is forced to test his endurance and provide feedback, as he has no idea what he will be subjected to every week. Our hope is that we turn you on to something that was lost on your ears, or something you've simply forgotten about, or that (in our opinion) should have been the next big thing.

Songs this week include:

1. White Zombie – “God Of Thunder” from God Of Thunder EP (1989)
2. Jim Crean, Vinny Appice, Phil Naro & Steve Major – “Magic Touch” from A World With Heroes (2013) 
3. Doro – “Only You” from Doro (1990)
4. The Hold Steady – “Hard Luck Woman” from Rags (2014)
5. Girl Monstar – “Is That You?” from Hard To Believe – A KISS Covers Compilation (1990)
6. Double Virgo – “Secretly Cruel” from YouTube (2008)
7. Red House Painters – “Shock Me” from Shock Me EP (1994)
8. Bruck Kulick – “I’ve Had Enough / Get All You Can Take” from KISS Kruise IX (2019)

On a the fall of 2006, and 10 year old Nikko Caruso wanders into the family room and puts in his fathers KISSology Vo.1 DVD and pushes play. What comes on the screen changes his life. 1977's classic KISS concert The Summit live in Huston! Ace Frehley, Gene Simmons, Peter Criss & Paul Stanley put on one of the classic shows of all time. This would be bootlegged for years and years before KISS themselves put it out in this three volume box set that came out in October of 2006. So lets go back in time to at least 2006 and pretend along with Nikko that it's 1977 and we are seeing one of the great KISS concerts for the first time!

The gang is back in the studio with another breakdown of another ICONIC live album from KISS. In this episode the band breaks down 'Alive II' which was released right off the heels of their latest commercially successful album. KISS was on top of the world at this point with album and merchandise sales shooting through the stratosphere. But the success and fame didn't come without its hardships and troubles. Garrett, Tyler, and Beau detail what was happening with the band at the time of the recording of this album. As always, stick around for their album artwork ratings, a track-by-track analysis, the 3-and-1 segment (with another special segment this week for the studio songs that accompanied this album), and their Certified Ratings of the overall album!

Episode 2:

25 years ago in the summer of 1996 Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons reunited with Peter Criss and Ace Frehley for The Alive Worldwide Tour of 1996-1997. The idea of Ace and peter ever returning to the band was always met with a hard no from Paul and Gene. The 1995 MTV Unplugged performance changed all of that! 

Nikko acting as the interviewer asks Nick and Rob what is was like to hear the news of the Reunion and see the shows that they saw. Buckle up, we are going back to 1996 and headed to Tiger stadium and beyond! Detroit Rock City here we come!
