Devereaux Diary

Not technically the opening week of the month (okay, not at all…) we decided to do an “opener” topic. Iron Maiden opened for KISS on the Unmasked tour in 1980 which was odd because that was KISS’s poppiest album and IM was like a hard rock punk band. A strange pairing indeed. So each Kousin … Top 5 Iron Maiden Songs

The Kousins have done album showdowns before. But, in some instances, that just doesn’t seem fair to some of the songs on the two albums.

The … Eugene B. Sims from Wheeler’s Dog Podcast/Van Halen

The Kousins continue the celebration of Paul Stanley’s birthday from last week and do a “listening party” of the 2006 release Live to Win. All the Kousins could pretty much agree they didn’t really want to listen to the album, but some turned out to more than just like it. You’ll have to guess which … Live to Win

The Kousins wish the Starchild, Paul Stanley a happy 71st birthday on January 20. They each compiled 5-10 songs that they’d rank among their favorites of Paul’s lead vocal moments. Some Now Listenings but no mailbag this week. What would be your top 5-10 Paul vocals? Let us know by calling the TLDNetwork (KUZZ Army) … Happy Birthday Starchild

The Kousins have done album showdowns before. But, in some instances, that just doesn’t seem fair to some of the songs on the two albums. This week, Kousin Marvin put his #1 (on his ranking list), Hotter Than Hell, against Roadie Ray’s #1, Love Gun. What makes this cool is that these two albums are … KISS Album Gladiator Showdown – Hotter Than Hell vs. Love Gun
