They check in with Rob Halford and his thesaurus, talk about Andrew WK releasing new music for some reason and throw their Three Cents into some Tri sided podcasting drama.

Bakko and LC recap the Atlanta VV KISS expo by not attending but living vicariously through shaky vertical cell phone videos and uncredited photos. We discuss highlights of Vinnie’s Q&A, his importance in KISStory and the growing issue that is V.P.S. (turn your phone).

In a wide spanning interview regarding all things Ron Keel, Bakko and Ron talk about Steeler, Black Sabbath, Keel, Fair Game, MTV, the reality of MCA records, his appearance at the 2018 Atlanta KISS Expo, signing with Dave Ellefson’s EMP label and SOOO much more as maybe the best self promoter Rock N Roll has seen since Gene Simmons busts Bakko’s balls.

Enjoy.
