WHAT WERE KISS THINKING?! THE ELDER, GENE SIMMONS & TOMMY THAYER!
Welcome to another edition of Hooligan Nation: A KISS-Centric Podcast — As the KISS-World Turns!

🔥 TOMMY THAYER & DORO PESCH — KISS GOES TO GERMANY!
First up, we're talking about Tommy Thayer and German heavy metal legend Doro Pesch appearing at a KISS-related event in Germany!
Tommy spent more than two decades as KISS's lead guitarist, carrying on the Spaceman tradition and helping bring the band's music to millions of fans around the world.
And Doro Pesch is one of heavy metal's most respected performers, with a career spanning more than four decades.
The Hooligans discuss their appearances, the continuing international appeal of KISS and what it means to see familiar names from the KISS universe making headlines.
🔥 GENE SIMMONS ON THE BEHIND THE CURTAIN PODCAST!
Next, the Demon himself, Gene Simmons, is back in the spotlight!
Gene recently appeared on the Behind the Curtain Podcast, giving the Hooligans another opportunity to discuss the outspoken KISS co-founder.
Whether he's discussing music, business, his career or the extraordinary history of KISS, Gene Simmons always gives fans something to talk about.
The Hooligans weigh in on Gene's appearance and the conversations surrounding one of rock and roll's most recognizable personalities.
🔥 MUSIC FROM "THE ELDER" — WHAT WERE GENE & PAUL THINKING?!
And finally, we tackle a question that has fascinated and frustrated KISS fans for more than four decades...
WHAT IN THE WORLD WERE GENE SIMMONS AND PAUL STANLEY THINKING WHEN THEY RECORDED MUSIC FROM "THE ELDER"?!
What did they think they were creating?
How confident were they in the album?
Did they truly believe this was the future of KISS?
And what would they say today if they walked us through the entire recording process, song by song?
We don't just want another explanation of why the album failed.
WE WANT TO KNOW WHAT THEY WERE THINKING WHILE THEY WERE MAKING IT!
From "The Oath" and "A World Without Heroes" to "I," "Just a Boy" and "Under the Rose," there's plenty to unpack about this unusual chapter in KISS history.
