Episode 686. Michael and Tommy conducted a “hit-and-run” episode of their podcast “Three Sides of the Coin” without guests Mark or Lisa, focusing on music-related questions from fans instead of KISS-specific content. They discussed six audience questions about various bands and musical topics, including why bands like House of Lords, Brighton Rock, and Michael Schenker never reached greater success despite having great music and live performances. The conversation covered factors such as timing, record label support, management quality, booking agents, regional differences, and visual presentation affecting a band’s success in the music industry. Tommy also shared his experience attending a Sex Pistols concert with Starcrawler as the opening act, noting that the original members performed well and the audience was primarily middle-aged fans rather than punk enthusiasts.
