Salutations™!!
This will be brief but I just wanted to say that I found the absolute best SiriusXM channel, ever. It is called KISS Army Radio and it is 95% KISS and 5% their influences or bands that may have opened for them, like Rush, AC/DC, The Who, Led Zeppelin, The Beatles, etc.
I found it late last week and I haven’t turned the channel since. There are live performances, deep cuts, and more. Yes, I have to sit through 17 versions of “Rock and Roll All Nite” every three or four hours, but it’s worth it. Yes, I also have all of these songs and almost all of the versions on some kind of medium, but as I’ve always maintained, there’s nothing like hearing it on the radio.
Plus, you get some tidbits here and there from all four current members about many things throughout KISStory; the earliest and the latest.
This past Tuesday, they broadcast a special SiriusXM-guest-only concert at the Whiskey A Go Go. It is probably one of the smallest crowds they ever played to. Not because no one was there, but because the venue is small. Gene sounded great. The music all sounded great. Paul was there. I have nothing to say about that, I’m reserving judgment. Or voiced judgment, really.
Anyway, I just wanted to say that my love for KISS is fully realized with this channel. I love it.
Until tomorrow, same blog channel…
Scorp out!

Kiss Army Radio – the rocking-est station on XM. Takes me back to being “Christine 16” again! The gods of thunder & rock & roll… Timeless and perfect.
