The Year Of KISS: Destroyer (1976)
“All Of The Fame And The Masquerade…..” KISS released their legendary live album, Alive!, in September of 1975. The album was a risky move for both the band and Casablanca records.

“Don’t let’em tell you that there’s too much noise….” I’ve been impatiently waiting for the release of The Loyal Subjects’ BEST AXN KISS The Spaceman. I liked the Demon figure released earlier this year despite having a few hangups about it and, in all honesty, I have a few hangups about the Spaceman figure asContinue reading “The Loyal Subjects BST AXN KISS “The Spaceman””
The Loyal Subjects KISS BST AXN “The Demon”
