About this listen

In this Rockers to Doctors deep dive, Dr. Nova Starlink and Dr. Dorian Prescott break down one of the most dramatic evolution stories in rock history. This is the complete medical case study of KISS from the collapse of Wicked Lester through the unmasked era of the early 1990s.

We examine every major transformation:
• Creating the KISS personas
• The struggle for a record deal
• The Alive breakthrough and merch explosion
• The solo album experiment
• Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park
• Dynasty and disco influences
• Peter Criss leaving the band
• The Elder and the early 80s slump
• Creatures of the Night and the Vinnie Vincent era
• KISS without makeup for the first time since the 1970s
• Bruce Kulick and Eric Carr shaping a new era
• The emotional surprise return of Peter Criss in 1995

If you love rock history, glam metal culture, or KISS mythology, this episode delivers the full clinical picture.
