Three Sides of the Coin – A KISS Podcast and Radio Show

Episode 677. Not every great band becomes a household name in the United States. In this episode of Three Sides of the Coin, we shine a spotlight on artists that deserved far more attention—from legendary acts that became superstars everywhere except America to newer bands that somehow slipped under the radar despite releasing incredible music. We’ll share stories, revisit forgotten favorites, and hopefully introduce you to a few bands you may have missed along the way. Whether it’s The Angels, Status Quo, City Boy, Badfinger, The Chesterfield Kings, Marvelous 3, Grand Prix, Starcrawler, Seduce, The Pretty Reckless, The Clarks, Point Black, or others, this episode is all about celebrating great music that deserves another listen. Join us, compare notes, and let us know which overlooked bands you’d add to the list.

Episode 675. Alice Cooper has always been the undisputed master of theatrical rock, but after seeing the new Alice Cooper & Criss Angel show, we think live rock entertainment just took a major step forward. In this episode of Three Sides of the Coin, we review the concert and discuss why this collaboration feels so fresh, exciting, and unlike anything else on the road today. From the incredible stage production and mind-bending illusions to Alice’s timeless performance and the way the show reinvents the concert experience, we break down what works, what surprised us, and why this may be a glimpse into the future of live rock shows. If you’re an Alice Cooper fan—or simply love seeing artists push creative boundaries—you won’t want to miss this discussion.
