Shout It Out Loudcast

This week Tom & Zeus celebrate their 300th episode with their review of the 1976 legendary album from KISS, "Destroyer!"

This was KISS' 4th studio album and the 24th and LAST KISS studio album reviewed by SIOL.

KISS was riding high after their live album "Alive" broke through and went gold. The power and energy of a live KISS show was the missing ingredient to get KISS their big break. Not wanting to rest on their recent success, the band brought producer Bob Ezrin from Alice Cooper fame in to help them "get to the next level." Ezrin was like no producer KISS ever had before or since. Bringing the best out of the members and co-writing 7 of the 9 tracks, Ezrin's fingerprints were all over Destroyer.

Destroyer was very different then the previous raw three albums. This album had choirs, ghost players, a ballad, orchestras and even a calliope. The final result was KISS most commercial, critically acclaimed and perhaps polarizing album.

The album features some of KISS most legendary songs, including, Detroit Rock City, God Of Thunder, Shout It Out Loud, Beth and more.

As usual the guys breakdown and analyze the tracks and rank the songs SIOL style. As always, they then compare the album and album cover and rank it against the previous studio albums reviewed.

There is no better way to celebrate Shout It Out Loudcast's 300th episode than with an album review of perhaps KISS' best album.

Oh and don't miss the cameo congratulations from the band members (cough) on SIOL's 300th Episode!

On the 58th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & special guest, Brad Rusthoven from the Slamfest Podcast, review the 1990 debut album from Mother Love Bone, "Apple."

Mother Love Bone has legendary status amongst grunge fans. The band was formed in Seattle from another legendary early grunge band, Green River. The band was led by charismatic frontman and main songwriter, Andrew Wood. Guitarist Stone Gossard of Green River and latter Pearl Jam on rhythm and lead guitar and Bruce Fairweather on lead and rhythm guitar as well. Jeff Ament previously of Green River and later of Pearl Jam fame on bass and Greg Gilmore on drums.

The album was a mixture of alt rock, glam metal and future grunge. Hard hitting lyrics which also showed a lighter and more fun side of the "Seattle Sound." Mother Love Bone was one of the earliest Seattle bands to be destined for greatness with their debut album coming on a major label. However, Andrew Wood's death from heroin overdose on March 19, 1990 was tragic end of this upcoming band. The album was released a few months later on July 19, 1990. A tribute album/band, Temple Of The Dog further created the legend of Mother Love Bone as did the breakout of Pearl Jam shortly thereafter.

As usual the boys breakdown and dissect the tracks and rank the songs. They then rank the album and the album cover against the previous albums reviewed on the Album Review Crew.

This was Tom's pick.

So tune in to learn about the "Love Commander" and what was Brad doing in the bathroom?

He had the water running all day!

On 78th Episode of Dorm Damage With Tom & Zeus, the guys remember the late great John Amos who passed away on August 21, 2024.

John Amos was a legendary actor and a favorite of Tom & Zeus. His portrayal of James Evans, Sr. on the 1970's hit Good Times made him one of the greatest, if not the greatest TV dad in history. He brought a realism and a positive father figure to an audience who had seldom seen such positive role models.

He had a long career with many memorable roles including Cleo McDowell on Coming To America, Admiral Percy Fitzwallace on the West Wing and Kunta Kinte on Roots.

The guys discuss John Amos career and what he meant to them.

So rest in peace the great John Amos with the Golden Arcs in that McDowell's in the sky!

This week Tom & Zeus finally tackle a KISS Army subject matter that is near and dear to many of the KISS Army, KISS Merchandise!

For many in the KISS Army, KISS merchandise is just as important if not more than the KISS music. KISS is like no other band. KISS boasts more merchandise than any other band and as much as any other form of entertainment. As we say on SIOL, Gene is the brand and Paul is the band. No other musician is known for their marketing and merchandise more so than Gene Simmons.

The guys talk about KISS merchandise and then each give their top 10 favorite KISS merch that they have or wish they did.

So all you KISS nerds gather your KISS dolls... we mean KISS action figures and get ready to have some fun, but stay out of Ace's hot tub!
