Ep 509 - Gene Simmons & Paul Stanley of KISS, Roger McGuinn from The Byrds

     If there is one thing that Christopher can’t understand, it’s Tom’s love for KISS.  That argument is front and centre in this episode, which features clips from Gene Simmons from the ‘70s and Paul Stanley from 1999. Gene talks about everything from the importance of their live shows, to whether the makeup will ever come off (Gene says no – four years later, he changes his mind). Paul is much more likeable in his segments, whether talking about his family, starring in “The Phantom Of The Opera” or getting along with his “brother”, Gene.  Some great clips plus a rollicking chat between our two hosts.     Then we have an amazing interview from the late ‘60s as Roger McGuinn talks about the biggest songs of The Byrds. McGuinn explains how they were influenced by Bob Dylan and how they in turn influenced Dylan back.  McGuinn also talks about dealing with the backlash of “Eight Miles High”.
