    Better than Three Sides
    Why does Three Sides of the Coin insult these guys? FAQ is far superior in every way.
  • Ozznake
    Peaceful
    I’m listening to whole podcast for the 2nd time, I’m ep 123 with Mitch Lafon (how is he? by the way) This podcast is awesome, those guys are like KISS fan friends I never had talking all KISS with me, the atmosphere is awesome in this podcast, they are knowledgeable and peaceful. big KISS fan from Iran 🤘🏻🫡🙇🏻‍♂️
  • SteveOH5150
    Huge fan...
    Thanks for the BEST Kiss related podcast around! Been a listener for a long time. Keep it up!
  • HairyWhiteP
    I Love Julien’s smooth voice
    Julien Gill is an American treasure and the most respected KISS historian other than Gene himself. Much better than those 3 Sides of the Coin guys who actually like other bands besides KISS.
  • RushNole
    Fun group!
    Great group with varied thoughts and ideas. As a lifelong Kiss fan, I've really enjoyed listening to these episodes. My only small criticism is the Julian's audio always sounds subpar to the other guys. I listen as I walk my dog and while the others are nice are clear and high up, Julian's audio is usually so much lower that I often have to rewind to make out what he's saying. I'm surprised they haven't noticed this yet and fixed it. But otherwise, great stuff!
  • f2walsh
    Great Kiss podcast
    So glad Julian is doing better! This podcast is a must listen for The Kiss Army!!
  • Destroyer76
    Honestly
    Still great. Mark, please stop saying Honestly and To be honest. We believe you. No need to preface every statement with your honesty.
  • Notahhater
    Thank You Julian
    Started listening to episode 214 and early on after your Eddie Trunk rant you said if you’re no longer invested in the band to move along and that comment struck me and I realized that I am no longer interested in what this band has to offer. I’ve been listening to several KISS related podcasts every week for almost two years and there have been some great guests with some great info that we haven’t heard before but for the most part all of the podcasts have turned into the KISS QVC channel. KISS to me is so much more than merchandise and yet that’s all that seems to be of interest to most everyone on these podcasts. Thanks for the suggestion. I’m selling my stock and getting out of the market.

    The Ivy League of KISStory
    Famed KISStorian Julian Gill has been running the excellent KissFAQ.com website (my pick for the best KISStory resource on the internets) since the mid ‘90s, so needless to say, his KissFAQ Podcast is a must listen for all KISS fans from the casual to the 5 star KISS Army General. All of the KissFAQ Podcast co-hosts bring their unique perspectives to the table as well.
  • Dr Ray 85
    Julian Gill’s podcast
    There is no shortage of KISS podcasting out there. I was introduced about 2 years ago and slowly became hooked. Julian leads his FAQ team with a severe vocabulary and solid logic train. His guest stars are below a few other podcasters but he makes up for it with his intellect. I highly recommend you give it try and overlook the inferior intro music.
  • Pimpenhoe
    5 Stars!
    Great Show for the Obsessive KISS fan by a group of fans that have their opinions, but the reasoning to back it up!
  • Doon Squad
    The best
    In my opinion, the best Kiss podcast.
  • kissmite
    Intelligent banter!
    So Julian Gill brings the right combo of co host to a show that he leads with the smart tones of an experienced author of many rock books. Fun stuff! Definitely one I go to the day of release.
  • Claydude67
    Fun podcast
    Julian is a great host and all of the others bring differnt opinions and experiances from their KISS fandom. Lots of great topics and discussions.
  • joeyrocknrollRST
    KISS Army/Navy approved
    I've been following Julian's write ups and publications on KISS for over 20 years now and I am thrilled that he brought the KISS FAQ to podcast form, thanks guys!
  • Dennis Talbott
    Great Show!
    🤘
  • SignalsFromMars
    Always fun
    Fun Kiss banter, no matter who is on the show. A must listen to, even for the most opinionated fan.
  • Decibel Geek
    Not Just an Awesome Website!
    While KISSFAQ is clearly the best KISS website and certainly the best message board, the podcast version fits right in. Great, knowlegable hosts! Keep it up fellas!
  • Blind Guardian(Best Band Ever)
    Not Very Good
    There are some very good Kiss podcasts, but this is not one of them. Not only are the topics boring, but so are the hosts. A boring topic can be an entertaining listen if the hosts are energic and fun. None of the hosts or guests on this podcast are either fun or energetic. I tried listening to a bunch of episodes and I don't think I made to the 1/2 point of any of them. I will never tell anyone not to listen though. Someone may listen and love it. And if they do, that's great.
  • Mr. PJ Crabtree
    Awesome!
    Julian is great! Some of the guys are soft spoken but have great points. Topics are always interesting and make you think! One guy usually ends up talking about Rush too much.....but it's great
  • BTBAMrules310
    An awesome Kiss podcast
    Finally, a podcast that actually focuses on Kiss and not the fans who disagree with the hosts. Love the detailed discussion of all eras of the band. 2/24/16 Update: Still absolutely love the podcast, but...is there anyway to improve the audio quality? Compared to every other podcast I listen to, the audio quality is very poor for all of the hosts/guests, especially Alex. Just listened to the Ace Frehley covers album episode - if you're going to have Alex on, please clean up his audio. There were numerous times he cut out, and even when there aren't connection problems, he sounds horrible because of the poor audio quality. He's very difficult to understand. Almost makes the podcasts with him unlistenable.
  • KISS FAN 4 LIFE
    Great Show
    I look forward to this podcast every week. Every Friday afternoon I listen to the show in my way home from work and kick off my weekend with some informed opinions from some very knowledgeable hosts. This podcast is fantastic and I recommend it for all fans.
  • Joel Hebensperger
    Informative and Fun
    I listen to all the KISS and KISS-related podcasts and this has rocketed to the top or close to it since they started this show about one year ago. The hosts are very knowledgeable and do a good job of presenting a show on topics of interest to these crazy, obsessed KISS fans. These people have a varying degree of KISS experience, knowledge, etc. and they combine to put out a great show. If you're reading this you're obviously a KISS nerd so go on and hit that subscribe button. Maybe Julian will send me a copy of the KISS Album Focus or something for this glowing review. Cheers!

    Terrible
    Want to hear a bunch of pompous, self-centered, uninformed people discuss things related to Kiss? Then this is the podcast for you. If you actually like the band Kiss and know a lot about the band, you will find this podcast to be a joke. A bad joke at that. These guys are only interested in promoting themselves, putting down others, and pretending to be experts on a band they know almost nothing about. I recommend avoiding this self serving podast.
