Episode 64 Show Notes:

It's Christmas time again already?!! Where has this year gone. Its be a rough year scheduling wise for the podcast, so right up front we would like to apologize for the lack of episodes this year. 2025 should be a much better year for the show! 

Again, like we said it Christmas and it's time for our annul KISSmas episode. Ironically scheduling during the holidays is tough sometime and unfortunately the Caruso's could not make the episode as they were attending a Christmas party of their own, so Rob called in Xander from KISS Army Things Podcast to complete the episode with him!

Since Christmas has 9 letters and you know how much RBTE loves THE 9, Xander and Rob pick 9 songs each and each song has to start with the first letter of the word Christmas. So how do you spell Christmas? Tune in a push play!

November 27th 2024?...!!! Has it really been one year since we all saw our last KISS concert? How can that be? How am I living in a world where KISS is no longer a touring band? What have we all been doing since that wonderful day in Rosemont Illinois on November 27th 2023. Join Nick, Nikko, and Rob on this episode along with Rosemont Crew, Xander, Brant and Emily! We discuss the show a one year later, and what we are all doing now since the last concert and reminiscing about ROSEMONT!

Episode 62: It’s that time of year again, its KISS solo album month and this rough the original Catman is up next!. We have already covered Ace Frehley and Gene Simmons’ 1978 KISS solo albums. Peter’s album would take the biggest departure of the four…. But let’s be honest Genes is a close second… but it’s not a departure of who Peter is. Big band and jazz are right in his wheel house. Did Peter make the best KISS solo album, or did Peter make the best solo album that first right into the 1970’s as a whole? Let’s not waste any more time and let’s get our platform boots on and head to Studio 54 because “You Matter To Me”!

Episode 61: The 9 Hottest, Heat, Fire KISS Songs!
It's the end of Summer and school is back in session... buuuut we are not done with the heat just yet!  We thought we'd have one last summer party and the guys decided to pick the hottest songs in the catalogue. The rules were simple. The songs had to have hot, heat, fire or some adjective like that ... turns out there are only 10 in the catalogue. So everyone has the smae songs and the guys make that KISS list from there. Summer break is over so lest get this podcast back on track! Break out the S'mores because we are about to burn some stuff here!

Episode 60 has the guys taking another slight pause in getting back to KISS content since Nick was unable last minute to be on the show. This gave Nikko and Rob the chance to talk about the newest album from The Warning that had just been released the week prior. This is Nikko and Rob's review of the album "Keep Me Fed" and how they both discovered the band and did the album live up to the expectations that had they had built up for it? Grab a sandwich on this oversized episode... I'm not gonna say they will keep you fed.... not gonna do it.....

This episode finds Nick, Nikko, & Rob pushing pause on the KISS discussion for a minute and invites a long-time social media friend for his first appearance on the show in what we call a satellite episode. Rick Shew from @FriendsWorkPod also Political BS:  @Leftcrewpolitics   F-list actor. and was once was Superman! He is also a huge music fan! That is the reason why Rick is here for our topic... "The Replacements". band members come, and band members go. What ones worked and what ones that absolutely did not?

Episode 58: KISS Sells The Brand

Sadly, it's been a month since our last episode, sorry about the delay but I think we make up for the wait with this discussion. Nick, Nikko and Rob are in rare form. I know everyone else has chimed in on KISS selling the brand, but the guys take a look at the topic as well and in typical RBTE fashion sometimes other topics come into play, Bon Jovi, Frank Sinatra, Spider-Man? Think of this a round table discussion.  Not much else to say other than push play!

Episode 57: Kiss (album review) 50th Anniversary!

50 years... let that sink in. Your parents or grandparents tuning 50, or their 50th wedding anniversary are milestones that people celebrate. When its music or a movie, somehow that seem bigger or it's something that you can't wrap your head around> We say things like "I can't believe that is the 50th anniversary of that! It's even rare when is music and the band is still together (ok in some form i get it haha) touring the world. KISS has been a band for 50 years last year in 2023, now their first album at the time you are reading this has just turned 50... yours truly (Rob) just turned 50 himself. I am older than this album by 8 days. Nick is 7 years older than the band to put it into perspective. This is a big event. It all started with this album! Whatever era, lineup, album, song, or member is your favorite... none of it would happen without this album! Nick, Nikko & Rob will take you through track by track of this historic... and kinda slow album haha.

Episode 56: NYC PPV and Beyond

We might be last to the party; it's not when you show up, but did you have a good time? Nick, Nikko, and Rob are coming off the high of the Rosemont show on November 27th. For show purposes it's December 2nd and we are watching with the rest of the world... the finale live KISS show... ever with Eric, Tommy, Gene and Paul...KISS! What did we think? Was our Rosemont show better, was something else better? What does our show look like moving forward? All that and more. So, let's rewind the clock back just a bit to December 2nd, 2023, and talk the end of an era and the start of something... new?

We are on all podcast platforms and over at our host site.
