    As the KISS-World Turns: Pitbull/KISS Mashup, KISS Kruize Food Credits & Avatars

    Send us Fan Mail Pitbull Meets KISS?! Landlocked Food Credits & Avatar Madness! PITBULL MEETS KISS?! KISS KRUZE FOOD CREDITS & AVATAR MADNESS! Just when you think the KISS World couldn't get any stranger...MR. WORLDWIDE enters the picture! On this edition of Hooligan Nation: A KISS-Centric Podcast — As the KISS-World Turns, Anthony, Father Rocco, Black Diamond Dave and DD-Deb dive into three very different topics that have the KISS Army talking! 🔥 PITBULL MEETS KISS — REACH FOR THE STARS! Yes, you read that correctly! Pitbull and KISS have joined forces on a new song called "Reach for the Stars," which puts a completely different spin on the legendary KISS anthem "Rock and Roll All Nite." The song appears on Pitbull's new album, PITCOIN, and brings together two musical worlds that most KISS fans probably never imagined would collide. But is this a brilliant way to introduce KISS to a new generation of listeners? Or is it another example of taking a classic rock anthem somewhere it was never meant to go? The Hooligans break down the unlikely musical combination and give their opinions on whether Mr. Worldwide and the Hottest Band in the World actually belong together! 🔥 KISS KRUZE LANDLOCKED 2026 — WHAT'S THE DEAL WITH THE FOOD CREDITS? Next, we're heading back to Las Vegas! With KISS Kruize Landlocked 2026 approaching, there's another subject for the Hooligans to sink their teeth into... FOOD CREDITS! We're discussing the food credit arrangements associated with the upcoming KISS Kruize Landlocked experience and what they mean for fans attending the event. Are they a worthwhile benefit? Are fans getting a good deal? And how do these credits factor into the overall cost of attending a major KISS event in Las Vegas? You know the Hooligans will have plenty of opinions! 🔥 KISS AVATARS — LET'S TALK! And finally, we're diving into a little avatar talk! The future of KISS continues to be a fascinating subject, especially with the band's plans to extend its legacy beyond traditional live performances. From digital technology and virtual performances to the possibility of experiencing KISS in an entirely new way, the Hooligans discuss the idea of avatars and what they could mean for the future of the band. Can technology recreate the excitement of a real KISS concert? Would you pay to see an avatar-based KISS show? And is this the future of rock and roll...or something completely different? THREE TOPICS. FOUR HOOLIGANS. AND PLENTY OF OPINIONS! 🤘 HOOLIGANG — WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! 🎸 What do you think of Pitbull and KISS's "Reach for the Stars"? 💰 What's your opinion of the KISS Kruize Landlocked food credits? 🤖 Would you pay to see a KISS avatar concert?

    As the KISS-World Turns: Stanley Simmons Live Review & KISS Kruize Landlocked Pre-Party Sellout

    Send us Fan Mail As the KISS-World Turns: Stanley Simmons Live Review & KISS Kruize Landlocked Pre-Party Sellout STANLEY SIMMONS LIVE! KISS KRUZE PRE-PARTY SOLD OUT?! The KISS World NEVER stops turning — and this week we've got firsthand concert reviews, ticket price debates and another KISS Kruize controversy! On this edition of The Hooligan Nation: A KISS-Centric Podcast — As the KISS-World Turns, Anthony, Father Rocco, Black Diamond Dave and DD-Deb tackle two major stories making waves throughout the KISS Army! 🔥 STANLEY SIMMONS — THE HOOLIGANS WERE THERE! Anthony and Father Rocco recently attended a live performance by Stanley Simmons, the musical collaboration featuring Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons, sons of KISS legends Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. And now it's time for their firsthand review! We've heard the music. We've seen the interviews. We've watched Evan and Nick step out from behind their famous fathers' shadows. But what happens when Stanley Simmons takes the stage? Anthony and Father Rocco break down their concert experience and give the Hooligang their personal opinions on the performance. 🎸 How did Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons sound live? 🎸 What was the chemistry between the two performers? 🎸 Did their personalities come through onstage? 🎸 How did the live experience compare with their recorded music? 🎸 And most importantly — would Anthony and Father Rocco go see Stanley Simmons again? No secondhand opinions here. The Hooligans were in the building! 🔥 KISS KRUZE LANDLOCKED 2026 — THE PRE-PARTY PRICE DEBATE! Then we're heading to Las Vegas! The highly anticipated KISS Kruize Landlocked 2026 continues generating excitement among KISS fans, and the latest news surrounding the pre-party has given the Hooligans plenty to discuss. The pre-party ticket prices have become a major talking point, and the event reportedly sold out almost immediately! So naturally, we have some questions. 💰 Were the ticket prices reasonable? 💰 Is the experience worth the asking price? 💰 Does selling out so quickly prove that KISS fans are willing to pay almost anything for a special event? 💰 Should organizers have anticipated the overwhelming demand? 💰 Are exclusive KISS events becoming too expensive for the average fan? And perhaps the biggest question of all... If the event sold out almost immediately, were the prices actually TOO LOW? The Hooligans examine both sides of the argument, from the excitement surrounding the event to the growing cost of being a dedicated KISS fan. Because when it comes to KISS, the music may bring us together... BUT THE PRICES CAN CERTAINLY START AN ARGUMENT! 🔥 HOOLIGANG — WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Have you seen Stanley Simmons live? What did you think? Did you manage to get tickets to the KISS Kruize Landlocked pre-party? And do you think the prices were fair, too expensive or exactly what the market was willing to pay? Drop your opinions in the comments and join the conversation! 🤘 LIKE • SUBSCRIBE • COMMENT • JOIN THE HOOLIGANG!

    As the KISS-World Turns: Gene Simmons, Scot Coogan Controversy & Stanley Simmons Unfiltered

    Send us Fan Mail "As The KISS-World Turns"-Gene Simmons Gets Candid + Scot Coogan CONTROVERSY & Stanley Simmons Unfiltered! 🔥 GENE SIMMONS ON LISA GUERRERO UNLEASHED Gene Simmons recently joined award-winning journalist Lisa Guerrero for a wide-ranging conversation touching on KISS, life, technology, artificial intelligence and plenty more. As always, when Gene gets a microphone in front of him, there is no shortage of opinions. The Hooligans break down what Gene had to say and discuss the latest chapter in a string of revealing long-form interviews from The Demon. 🔥 SCOT COOGAN & STEFAN ADIKA Then things get a little hotter. Former Ace Frehley drummer Scot Coogan recently sat down with Stefan Adika for an extensive conversation involving Ace Frehley, his former bandmates and the world surrounding the late KISS guitarist. Some of Coogan's comments have generated controversy — and naturally, the Hooligans have some thoughts of their own. What was said? Was it fair? Did anything cross the line? And what happens when disagreements between musicians who shared the stage with Ace become public? We're diving into it. 🔥 EVAN STANLEY & NICK SIMMONS LET THEIR PERSONALITIES OUT Finally, we head over to Bert Kreischer's Something's Burning, where Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons joined Bert for a conversation that gave KISS fans a much better look at the two men behind Stanley Simmons. And THIS might be our favorite part of the episode. Forget being Paul Stanley's son and Gene Simmons' son for a minute. Who are Evan and Nick? The guys talk about growing up with two of the most recognizable rock stars on the planet, being labeled "nepo babies," dealing with KISS fans, their fathers' enormous personalities, making their own music and trying to establish an identity of their own. And when Evan and Nick are allowed to relax, joke around and simply be themselves, their individual personalities really start coming through. The Hooligans discuss whether appearances like this could be exactly what Stanley Simmons needs as the band continues establishing itself outside the enormous shadow of KISS. Three podcasts. Three VERY different conversations. And one KISS World that absolutely refuses to stop turning! 🤘 HOOLIGANG — WE WANT YOUR OPINION! What did you think of Gene's conversation with Lisa Guerrero? What was your reaction to Scot Coogan's comments? And after seeing Evan Stanley and Nick Simmons with Bert Kreischer, are you starting to get a better feel for who these guys really are?
