KISS - Classic Audio Interview With GENE SIMMONS, ACE FREHLEY Available Online 
Wolfgang's Vault has issued a classic
KISS interview recorded back in 1979.
A summary reads:
"In 1977, KISS was one of the most popular bands in the world, thanks in large part to their electrifying performances. In 1978, they tried to build on this popularity through the simultaneous release of 4 solo albums and the release of a made-for-TV movie. These moves did not turn out as well as expected.
In 1979, the band was ready to get back on the road in support of their new album, Dynasty. KISS wanted to get back to doing what they did best: creating an impressive concert experience. History tells us that this tour did not meet the band’s expectations as attendance dropped and
PETER CRISS left the band after the tour’s completion.
The interview recorded here for the Direct News radio show features GENE SIMMONS (the deeper voice) and
ACE FREHLEY. It captures the band in the commercially oriented state of mind they were in at this point, focusing on the theatrics fans could expect at their upcoming tour. There are also hints of the band’s growing frustration as they discuss rumors of breaking up and recent criticisms from the press."
