Episode 679. This episode we are joined by Bobby Getchell from Dressed To Kill to discuss the Spirit of 76 Expo, a charity event, to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, featuring a full-scale recreation of the KISS Destroyer stage, set to debut on September 12, 2026, exactly 50 years after the original tour ended. It was a years-long effort to build the stage using original blueprints provided by the original stage designer Mark Ravitz.

The event is described as a 1970s-themed expo with multiple stages, vendors, and special guests, including Felipe Rose of the Village People.

We also discussed the rarity of the KISS Destroyer stage and its significance to KISS fans, with Bobby revealing a previously unknown detail from the blueprints about a planned flying platform for Gene Simmons.

We are also joined by Russell Dannecker and Phil Diehl.

Episode 678. This episode of “Three Sides of the Coin” focused on a discussion about greatest hits albums, their purpose, and their relevance in the modern era. Michael, Tommy, and Mark shared their personal experiences with greatest hits albums, highlighting how they served as introductions to bands’ catalogs in the pre-internet age. They discussed specific albums like Deep Purple’s “Deepest Purple,” Black Sabbath’s “We Sold Our Souls for Rock ‘n’ Roll,” and KISS’s “Double Platinum,” analyzing their track listings and impact. The conversation also touched on how live albums often functioned as greatest hits collections. The hosts agreed that with the advent of streaming services and playlists, traditional greatest hits albums have less utility today.

Episode 677. Not every great band becomes a household name in the United States. In this episode of Three Sides of the Coin, we shine a spotlight on artists that deserved far more attention—from legendary acts that became superstars everywhere except America to newer bands that somehow slipped under the radar despite releasing incredible music. We’ll share stories, revisit forgotten favorites, and hopefully introduce you to a few bands you may have missed along the way. Whether it’s The Angels, Status Quo, City Boy, Badfinger, The Chesterfield Kings, Marvelous 3, Grand Prix, Starcrawler, Seduce, The Pretty Reckless, The Clarks, Point Black, or others, this episode is all about celebrating great music that deserves another listen. Join us, compare notes, and let us know which overlooked bands you’d add to the list.
