Kiss Expo Konfessionals Pt.1 – EP031

The 2018 Atlanta Kiss Expo is over now, and what a glorious time we had. Catching up with old friends and making a whole lot of new ones. Growin’ Up Rock was there for every moment of this Rock N Roll congregation coming together to “Shout It Out Loud” at the top of their lungs “They Love Kiss” and they will not apologize for “Rock N Rolling Everyday and Partying Every Night.”

Episode Description

Find out what happened when you got 900 to 1000 Kiss Fanatics in a hotel ballroom waiting to catch a glimpse of the reclusive Vinnie Vincent, shopping for cool Kiss related stuff, and sharing stories while laughing the whole time. We wanted reactions to the Expo atmosphere and we got them. We set up shop for the weekend just so we could talk to fans, fellow podcasters, and a few guest surprises along the way.

Everyone had a Rock n Roll story to share with Growin’ Up Rock on how they found Kiss and how it affected their lives. What songs and albums they prefer, and how it feels when we ask them to choose their favorite Kiss Song / Album, comparing it often to choosing their favorite child.

The Kiss Expo included Bob Kulick, Ron Keel, Eddie Trunk, Robert Fleischman, Big John Harte, and the headlining name on the marquee, Vinnie Vincent. The return of the Ankh Warrior  after more than 20 years out of the public eye.

In Part One of this two part episode we get some interesting stories from a guy who was actually at the taping of the Magic Mountain concert, to someone who purchased a producer credit Gene Simmons Vault Experience for their daughter. How freakin cool is that? We find out just how and when some of our fellow Podcasters became Kiss fans growing up.
