KISS END OF THE ROAD DOCUMENTARY — WHY FANS WILL BUY IT!
KISS is giving the KISS Army another opportunity to open their wallets...and you KNOW we're going to do it!
On this edition of Hooligan Nation: A KISS-Centric Podcast — As the KISS-World Turns, Anthony, Father Rocco, Black Diamond Dave and DD-Deb discuss the newly announced KISS: End of the Road documentary and the one thing that has remained consistent throughout the band's legendary career:
KISS FANS LOVE KISS...AND KISS KNOWS IT!
The new documentary takes fans behind the scenes of the band's massive End of the Road farewell tour, which concluded with two historic concerts at Madison Square Garden in December 2023.
The film promises never-before-seen moments, backstage drama, the challenges of touring, and a closer look at the final chapter of KISS as a touring band.
The documentary premieres November 19, 2026, with digital viewing access starting at $14.99.

We've purchased the albums.
We've purchased the remasters.
We've purchased the box sets.
We've purchased the concert videos.
We've purchased the merchandise.
And now there's another KISS documentary!
Are we getting something genuinely new, or are we paying to relive a farewell we've already experienced?
Is the opportunity to see behind-the-scenes footage worth another purchase?
And most importantly...
DOES IT EVEN MATTER? WE'RE KISS FANS!
🔥 IN THIS EPISODE:
🎸 The announcement of the new KISS: End of the Road documentary
🎸 What fans can expect from the behind-the-scenes footage
🎸 The November 19 premiere and digital viewing options

LOVE THEM OR CRITICIZE THEM, KISS KNOWS HOW TO KEEP THE FANS COMING BACK!
And if we're being truthful, most of us wouldn't have it any other way!

The Sons of KISS Have an Album! But Is It Any Good?

THE NEXT GENERATION OF KISS HAS ARRIVED… BUT IS THE MUSIC ANY GOOD? 🎸🔥
When your fathers are Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons of KISS, you've got some pretty enormous shoes to fill!
This week on Hooligan Nation: A KISS-Centric Podcast, Anthony, Father Rocco, Black Diamond Dave and DD-Deb turn their attention to Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, the sons of two of rock and roll's most recognizable personalities.
The Hooligans sit down to review the debut album from Stanley/Simmons and answer the question every curious KISS fan wants answered:
IS THE MUSIC ACTUALLY ANY GOOD?
Growing up with two legendary rock stars as fathers certainly creates expectations, but does having the Stanley and Simmons names guarantee musical success?

What do we think of the songwriting?
How do Evan and Nick sound together?
Are there standout songs that deserve repeat listens?
Do we hear any musical influences from KISS?
Does the album establish Stanley/Simmons as an act with its own musical identity?
And most importantly…
WOULD WE STILL BE INTERESTED IF THEIR LAST NAMES WEREN'T STANLEY AND SIMMONS?
We're breaking down the music, discussing our favorite and least favorite moments, and sharing our overall impressions of the album.
Is this the beginning of something special, or will the next generation of the KISS family struggle to escape the enormous shadow of their famous fathers?

Pitbull Meets KISS?! Landlocked Food Credits & Avatar Madness!
PITBULL MEETS KISS?! KISS KRUZE FOOD CREDITS & AVATAR MADNESS!
Just when you think the KISS World couldn't get any stranger...MR. WORLDWIDE enters the picture!
On this edition of Hooligan Nation: A KISS-Centric Podcast — As the KISS-World Turns, Anthony, Father Rocco, Black Diamond Dave and DD-Deb dive into three very different topics that have the KISS Army talking!
🔥 PITBULL MEETS KISS — REACH FOR THE STARS!
Yes, you read that correctly!
Pitbull and KISS have joined forces on a new song called "Reach for the Stars," which puts a completely different spin on the legendary KISS anthem "Rock and Roll All Nite."
The song appears on Pitbull's new album, PITCOIN, and brings together two musical worlds that most KISS fans probably never imagined would collide.
But is this a brilliant way to introduce KISS to a new generation of listeners?
Or is it another example of taking a classic rock anthem somewhere it was never meant to go?
The Hooligans break down the unlikely musical combination and give their opinions on whether Mr. Worldwide and the Hottest Band in the World actually belong together!
🔥 KISS KRUZE LANDLOCKED 2026 — WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE FOOD CREDITS?
Next, we're heading back to Las Vegas!
With KISS Kruize Landlocked 2026 approaching, there's another subject for the Hooligans to sink their teeth into...
FOOD CREDITS!
We're discussing the food credit arrangements associated with the upcoming KISS Kruize Landlocked experience and what they mean for fans attending the event.
Are they a worthwhile benefit?
Are fans getting a good deal?
And how do these credits factor into the overall cost of attending a major KISS event in Las Vegas?
You know the Hooligans will have plenty of opinions!
🔥 KISS AVATARS — LET'S TALK!
And finally, we're diving into a little avatar talk!
The future of KISS continues to be a fascinating subject, especially with the band's plans to extend its legacy beyond traditional live performances.
From digital technology and virtual performances to the possibility of experiencing KISS in an entirely new way, the Hooligans discuss the idea of avatars and what they could mean for the future of the band.
Can technology recreate the excitement of a real KISS concert?
Would you pay to see an avatar-based KISS show?
And is this the future of rock and roll...or something completely different?
THREE TOPICS. FOUR HOOLIGANS. AND PLENTY OF OPINIONS!
🤘 HOOLIGANG — WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
🎸 What do you think of Pitbull and KISS's "Reach for the Stars"?
💰 What's your opinion of the KISS Kruize Landlocked food credits?
🤖 Would you pay to see a KISS avatar concert?

As the KISS-World Turns: Stanley Simmons Live Review & KISS Kruize Landlocked Pre-Party Sellout

STANLEY SIMMONS LIVE! KISS KRUZE PRE-PARTY SOLD OUT?!
The KISS World NEVER stops turning — and this week we've got firsthand concert reviews, ticket price debates and another KISS Kruize controversy!
On this edition of The Hooligan Nation: A KISS-Centric Podcast — As the KISS-World Turns, Anthony, Father Rocco, Black Diamond Dave and DD-Deb tackle two major stories making waves throughout the KISS Army!
🔥 STANLEY SIMMONS — THE HOOLIGANS WERE THERE!
Anthony and Father Rocco recently attended a live performance by Stanley Simmons, the musical collaboration featuring Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, sons of KISS legends Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.
And now it's time for their firsthand review!
We've heard the music. We've seen the interviews. We've watched Evan and Nick step out from behind their famous fathers' shadows.
But what happens when Stanley Simmons takes the stage?
Anthony and Father Rocco break down their concert experience and give the Hooligang their personal opinions on the performance.
🎸 How did Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons sound live?
🎸 What was the chemistry between the two performers?
🎸 Did their personalities come through onstage?
🎸 How did the live experience compare with their recorded music?
🎸 And most importantly — would Anthony and Father Rocco go see Stanley Simmons again?
No secondhand opinions here. The Hooligans were in the building!
🔥 KISS KRUZE LANDLOCKED 2026 — THE PRE-PARTY PRICE DEBATE!
Then we're heading to Las Vegas!
The highly anticipated KISS Kruize Landlocked 2026 continues generating excitement among KISS fans, and the latest news surrounding the pre-party has given the Hooligans plenty to discuss.
The pre-party ticket prices have become a major talking point, and the event reportedly sold out almost immediately!
So naturally, we have some questions.
💰 Were the ticket prices reasonable?
💰 Is the experience worth the asking price?
💰 Does selling out so quickly prove that KISS fans are willing to pay almost anything for a special event?
💰 Should organizers have anticipated the overwhelming demand?
💰 Are exclusive KISS events becoming too expensive for the average fan?
And perhaps the biggest question of all...
If the event sold out almost immediately, were the prices actually TOO LOW?
The Hooligans examine both sides of the argument, from the excitement surrounding the event to the growing cost of being a dedicated KISS fan.
Because when it comes to KISS, the music may bring us together...
BUT THE PRICES CAN CERTAINLY START AN ARGUMENT!
🔥 HOOLIGANG — WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!
Have you seen Stanley Simmons live? What did you think?
Did you manage to get tickets to the KISS Kruize Landlocked pre-party?
And do you think the prices were fair, too expensive or exactly what the market was willing to pay?
Drop your opinions in the comments and join the conversation!

Some of Coogan's comments have generated controversy — and naturally, the Hooligans have some thoughts of their own.
What was said?
Was it fair?
Did anything cross the line?
And what happens when disagreements between musicians who shared the stage with Ace become public?
We're diving into it.
🔥 EVAN STANLEY & NICK SIMMONS LET THEIR PERSONALITIES OUT
Finally, we head over to Bert Kreischer's Something's Burning, where Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons joined Bert for a conversation that gave KISS fans a much better look at the two men behind Stanley Simmons.
And THIS might be our favorite part of the episode.
Forget being Paul Stanley's son and Gene Simmons' son for a minute.
Who are Evan and Nick?
The guys talk about growing up with two of the most recognizable rock stars on the planet, being labeled "nepo babies," dealing with KISS fans, their fathers' enormous personalities, making their own music and trying to establish an identity of their own.
And when Evan and Nick are allowed to relax, joke around and simply be themselves, their individual personalities really start coming through.
The Hooligans discuss whether appearances like this could be exactly what Stanley Simmons needs as the band continues establishing itself outside the enormous shadow of KISS.
Three podcasts.
Three VERY different conversations.
And one KISS World that absolutely refuses to stop turning!

What If KISS Made Double Platinum II? The Hooligans Build the Ultimate Sequel!

   The original Double Platinum became one of the most recognizable compilation albums in the KISS catalog, bringing together some of the band's essential songs from the first chapter of their career.
But KISS wasn't finished.
Not even close.
So Anthony, Father Rocco, Black Diamond Dave and DD-Deb are taking on a simple question that could potentially start a war inside the KISS Army:
🔥 WHAT SHOULD BE ON DOUBLE PLATINUM II?
The Hooligans create our own sequel to Double Platinum and attempt to build the ultimate KISS compilation from the music that came AFTER the original album.
Which songs are automatic selections?
Which eras deserve the most representation?
Do we load the album with hits or make room for fan-favorite deep cuts?
Which songs get left behind?
And most importantly…
CAN FOUR HOOLIGANS ACTUALLY AGREE ON A TRACK LIST?
Yeah. Good luck with that.
We debate the songs, defend our choices and create the KISS compilation album that never existed:
⚡ DOUBLE PLATINUM II — THE SEQUEL! ⚡
PLUS — we've got the latest Music News, the Music We're Listening To, and another Hooligan Nation Weekly Poll.
👇 HOOLIGANG — NOW IT'S YOUR TURN!
If YOU were creating Double Platinum II, what KISS song absolutely MUST be on the album?
And which song would you leave OFF?
Drop your track-list choices in the comments. We want to see what the Hooligang comes up with!
