podkisst34Without Bill Aucoin, there would be no KISS.

It almost goes without saying, and yet it can’t be said enough. As we mourn his passing, we look back at the remarkable life and career of the man who brought KISS out of the Diplomat Hotel and turned them into the Hottest Band in the World. On this 2-part installment of PodKISSt, we are joined by very some special guests including beloved photographer and KISStorian Lydia Criss, KISS Army founder Bill Starkey, and acclaimed KISS producer Kenny Kerner. They were kind enough to share their fond, funny, and frank memories of the one and only Bill Aucoin.

As you listen to these unique interviews, hear commentary from devoted fans, and rock out to KISS rarities, maybe you’ll pause for a moment (as we did), and consider the silence; without Bill Aucoin, our lives simply would not have had the same soundtrack.
