Episode 47: "They Just Seem A Little Weird: How KISS, Cheap Trick, Aerosmith, and Starz Remade Rock and Roll" with Doug Brod
It was the age when heavy-footed, humorless dinosaurs roamed the hard-rock landscape. But that all changed when these four dazed and confused mid-'70s flamboyant bands that reveled in revved-up anthems and flaunted a novel theatricality. Author Doug Brod seamlessly interweaves the narratives of KISS, Cheap Trick, and Aerosmith and Starz, taking us back to a time when rock became fun again and a gig became a show. We talk about each band's birth, rebirths, and where they belong in music history. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
