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!

This week Tom Zeus review the legendary 1975 appearance by KISS on the T.V. show The Midnight Special.

The Midnight Special was a late night musical variety show that ran on NBC from 1973 to 1981 after the Tonight Show on Friday nights, starting at 1:00 AM. KISS recorded four songs on April 1, 1975 just after they released Dressed To Kill. They performed 4 songs, Deuce, C'mon And Love Me (which never aired), She and Black Diamond.

This legendary performance is KISS at its early inception. Hungry, raw and dangerous. Their look and performance can only be described as jaw dropping.

The guys breakdown the appearance in SIOL fashion.

The guys then rank this KISS TV appearance against the previous KISS TV appearances they have reviewed so far.

Tune in for a fun conversation about an incredible time in KISStory!

On the 57th Episode of the Album Review Crew of Shout It Out Loudcast, Tom, Zeus & special guest, lead guitarist and songwriter from the band Restrayned, Tony Musallam review the 1984 self titled debut album from W.A.S.P..

W.A.S.P's debut album came two years after the band was formed. The Los Angeles based band was founded by lead singer, songwriter and bassist, Blackie Lawless. Blackie was a veteran of L.A. scene. Chris Holmes, who later became famous for his appearance in "Decline Of The Western Civilization II: The Metal Years", was the lead guitarist and rhythm guitarist along with Randy Piper. The drummer was Tony Richards.

W.A.S.P. had become a target of the Parents Music Resource Center "PMRC" and their lead single "Animal (Fuck Like A Beast)" was taken off their debut album by their label for fear of backlash. The album featured hard rock, metal and shock rock as well. Blackie's trademark vocals and shock themes separated W.A.S.P. from a lot of the other L.A. bands. The band had a couple of videos as well to promote their shock rock image.

The album made it to Number 74 on the US Billboard charts and went gold. The album was produced by Blackie Lawless and Mike Varney.

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 Shout It Out Loudcast's Patreon pick.

So tune in to see if the SIOL Patreon members were B.A.D. in selecting this album and if they made SIOL sad or if the torture will ever stop.

This week Tom & Zeus re-examine the KISS 1978 solo albums on the anniversary of their releases and create a "Lost 1978 Album" between the 4 solo albums.

September 18 is a special day for the KISS Army with so many KISS album releases and events, hello KISS unmasking on MTV. The boys focus on the 1978 solo albums released on September 18, 1978. They ponder what if KISS didn't release 4 solo albums, but instead came to the studio with all those songs and created a 1978 KISS album.

Tom & Zeus create their own 1978 album from the songs off the solo albums. They decide the album cover, the producer and the name of the 1978 album. They also each pick 10 tracks for the album.

What songs makes the cut, what's the title, what's the cover, who's producing?

All these questions and more get answered SIOL style on another stellar episode of Shout It Out Loudcast!

This week Tom & Zeus review the 1984-1985 Animalize tour which was in support of their 12th studio album, Animalize.

This is SIOL's 9th KISS tour reviewed. This tour followed the Lick It Up tour, which was their first non-makeup tour. Animalize was released on September 17, 1984 and the tour began on September 30, 1984 in England.

This was a time when the band members were constantly changing. New guitarist, Mark St. John, who just replaced Vinnie Vincent as the lead guitarist, was having health issues with hand and was replaced by Bruce Kulick. During the tour, Mark ended up playing on only three dates and was eventually replaced by Bruce Kulick permanently.

The stage was basic for KISS with animal print. The costumes were similar to the Lick It Up costumes but with animal print and Gene's wig! The setlist featured 6 of the 9 songs from Animalize at one point on the tour. The albums, Creatures Of The Night, Lick It Up and Animalize were emphasized. This was a time when KISS ACTUALLY changed the setlist. At least 11 of the songs on the End Of The Road setlist were NOT played during this tour.

As usual, the guys breakdown the costumes, stage, set list and overall tour. They then rank the costumes, stage, set list and overall tour against the previous 8 tours reviewed so far.

So don't be like poor Mark St. John and sit in catering, instead tune in to another great tour episode!

On the 73rd episode of Dorm Damage With Tom & Zeus the guys review an article from Ultimate Classic Rock, "Who Are The Big 4 Of Hair Metal?"

This Ultimate Classic Rock article identifies 4 bands as the "Big 4" of hair metal. The guys discuss this list and breakdown the qualifications of each. They then discuss other bands that could or should be on this list and what makes a "hair band."

A fun topic on a polarizing term (right or wrong) for the music of that era.
