Three Sides of the Coin Video: Recent Episodes
Michael Brandvold, Mitch Lafon, Tommy Sommers
Episode 679. This episode we are joined by Bobby Getchell from Dressed To Kill to discuss the Spirit of 76 Expo, a charity event, to support St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, featuring a full-scale recreation of the KISS Destroyer stage, set to debut on September 12, 2026, exactly 50 years after the original tour ended. It was a years-long effort to build the stage using original blueprints provided by the original stage designer Mark Ravitz.
The event is described as a 1970s-themed expo with multiple stages, vendors, and special guests, including Felipe Rose of the Village People.
We also discussed the rarity of the KISS Destroyer stage and its significance to KISS fans, with Bobby revealing a previously unknown detail from the blueprints about a planned flying platform for Gene Simmons.
We are also joined by Russell Dannecker and Phil Diehl.

Episode 678. This episode of “Three Sides of the Coin” focused on a discussion about greatest hits albums, their purpose, and their relevance in the modern era. Michael, Tommy, and Mark shared their personal experiences with greatest hits albums, highlighting how they served as introductions to bands’ catalogs in the pre-internet age. They discussed specific albums like Deep Purple’s “Deepest Purple,” Black Sabbath’s “We Sold Our Souls for Rock ‘n’ Roll,” and KISS’s “Double Platinum,” analyzing their track listings and impact. The conversation also touched on how live albums often functioned as greatest hits collections. The hosts agreed that with the advent of streaming services and playlists, traditional greatest hits albums have less utility today.

Episode 677. Not every great band becomes a household name in the United States. In this episode of Three Sides of the Coin, we shine a spotlight on artists that deserved far more attention—from legendary acts that became superstars everywhere except America to newer bands that somehow slipped under the radar despite releasing incredible music. We’ll share stories, revisit forgotten favorites, and hopefully introduce you to a few bands you may have missed along the way. Whether it’s The Angels, Status Quo, City Boy, Badfinger, The Chesterfield Kings, Marvelous 3, Grand Prix, Starcrawler, Seduce, The Pretty Reckless, The Clarks, Point Black, or others, this episode is all about celebrating great music that deserves another listen. Join us, compare notes, and let us know which overlooked bands you’d add to the list.

Episode 675. Alice Cooper has always been the undisputed master of theatrical rock, but after seeing the new Alice Cooper & Criss Angel show, we think live rock entertainment just took a major step forward. In this episode of Three Sides of the Coin, we review the concert and discuss why this collaboration feels so fresh, exciting, and unlike anything else on the road today. From the incredible stage production and mind-bending illusions to Alice’s timeless performance and the way the show reinvents the concert experience, we break down what works, what surprised us, and why this may be a glimpse into the future of live rock shows. If you’re an Alice Cooper fan—or simply love seeing artists push creative boundaries—you won’t want to miss this discussion.

Episode 672. This is a great episode for you to play along with us. Mark comes up with a topic at the very last minute… pick three songs that best represent KISS from each era of the band… but, you can only pick one song from an album. First we start with deciding what the eras are, it is more than just makeup and no makeup. It is more than just originals and replacements. Let us know if you agree with the eras we defined and of course let us know what you think of the songs each of us select. This should be good for some discussions.

Episode 543. This week is part two of Michael’s KISS footlocker. We spend the entire episode looking at the many KISS items found in the footlocker, sharing stories of the items. We start off with Chris Lendt’s letter that was a reply to Michael’s inquiry about a job with KISS. We also find the original notes Michael took when Gene Simmons called him and offered him a job. Mark informs Michael that a large sticker in a scrapbook is actually a mint condition KISS record player sticker. So much stuff is found you just have to watch!
