In 1976, everything changed for KISS.After years of grinding it out on the road, the band suddenly exploded into a full-blown phenomenon — sold-out arenas, the rise of the KISS Army, merchandising everywhere, and a level of fan hysteria rock had rarely seen. This wasn’t just success… it was a takeover. The question is: why did it all happen in that one year?In this episode, we break down the perfect storm — 'Destroyer', 'Rock & Roll Over', non-stop touring, the mythology, the image, and the moment when KISS truly became The Hottest Band in the Land.Featuring an interview with Martin Popoff, author of Kiss '76: Twelve Months That Defined the Hottest Band in the Land, who walks us through the chaos, strategy, and timing that turned a cult band into a cultural phenomenon overnight.If you want to understand when KISS stopped being a band… and became an institution — this is the year.Purchase a copy of KISS '76: Twelve Months That Defined the Hottest Band in the LandVisit MartinPopoff.com----------🎧 Listen Ad-Free on PatreonSupport Booked On Rock and get every new episode completely commercial-free with the Backstage Pass.Join here: https://www.patreon.com/cw/BookedOnRock🛒 Old Glory - Iconic music and sports fan merch💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: BOOKEDONROCKhttps://oldglory.com/discount/BOOKEDONROCKBooked On Rock is part of The Boneless Podcasting Network BookedOnRock.com The Booked On Rock Store The Booked On Rock YouTube Channel Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:BLUESKYFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMTIKTOKX Find Your Nearest Independent Bookstore Contact The Booked On Rock Podcast: thebookedonrockpodcast@gmail.com The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe
Before the platinum records… before Metal Health changed heavy metal forever… there was a beginning — and not everyone remembers it the same way.In this episode, original bassist Kelly Garni tells his firsthand account of how Quiet Riot actually formed in early-70s Los Angeles. But the story longtime frontman Kevin DuBrow shared publicly over the years paints a very different picture. So which version is true?We dig into the conflicting origin stories, the friendships, the ambitions, and the mythology that formed one of the most important bands of the Sunset Strip era. Memory, ego, media narratives — and the passage of time — all collide as we try to separate rock history from rock legend.If you think you know how Quiet Riot started… you might not.Listen to Episode 358 - Kelly Garni: His Bond with Randy Rhoads & the Birth of Quiet Riot🛒 Old Glory - Iconic music and sports fan merch💰 Get 15% OFF | Promo Code: BOOKEDONROCKhttps://oldglory.com/discount/BOOKEDONROCK----------Booked On Rock is part of The Boneless Podcasting Network BookedOnRock.com The Booked On Rock Store The Booked On Rock YouTube Channel Follow The Booked On Rock with Eric Senich:BLUESKYFACEBOOKINSTAGRAMTIKTOKX Find Your Nearest Independent Bookstore Contact The Booked On Rock Podcast: thebookedonrockpodcast@gmail.com The Booked On Rock Music: “Whoosh” by Crowander / “Last Train North” & “No Mercy” by TrackTribe
