Gene Simmons from the rock band Kiss has everything: fame, money, success, a guitar that shoots flames, and boots with spikes on. But he craves more, which is why he wants a cow's tongue, grafted onto his own. It's quite a story. This is that story.

While shooting a video, Ozzy Osbourne fills a church with live pigs. It doesn't go well.

Rockanory is an unusual production for Absolute Radio, supported by the Audio Content Fund.

Note: When broadcast on the radio, this episode enjoyed tunes from Kiss's flame-shooting guitar-based back catalogue. For complicated rights reasons, we're not allowed to use them in the podcast version, so original music is by Jake Yapp.
