Jesus, three man-children dribbling over their Happy Meals as they ponder Gene Simmons’ 1982 jockstrap.

As boring as a show on the End of the Road Tour.

Hello fellow KISS people! Just a note to let you know how much I appreciate the podcast. I’ve been a passionate KISS fan since my Mom bought me my first KISS album (Alive II). After dropping the needle of mom’s Magnavox stereo on that record, my life was immediately changed. After that, I HAD to have everything KISS! The albums, lunchbox, posters, action figures, bubblegum cards, well you know…. I was even a card carrying member of the KISS Army! Listening to you guys brings me back to those days, and I get to hear perspectives from people who were able to have some experiences with the band later in life I’ve only dreamed of. I don’t have most of my KISS treasures anymore, but I have the memories. And you guys help keep those memories alive! Rod in NC🤘🏻

While I do have some criticisms of this show and the hosts - there is no better place to get into the “minutiae” of the history of one of my favorite bands. Their access to the under explained or untold stories (and the people who were there) of Kiss has made Three Sides one of my most listened to pods. Keep in mind this is not journalism, it’s fandom. They do get too close to that line sometimes and that does get frustrating as a listener (because they are not strictly objective by design), but the content is incredible and should be essential listening for many Kiss fans who can discern the difference between reporting news and being a fan. I highly recommend it!

Your inability to criticize Gene and Paul has never been more apparent. You cannot say that you are concerned about Covid and then have a Kiss Kruise. There is no better way to spread Covid than a cruise. Gene and Paul are hypocrites that only care about making money. I hope Fran’s family sues Kiss. The way you dismiss the Rolling Stone story is pathetic. Unfortunately the podcast has a conflict of interest and cannot objectively comment on matters relating to Kiss Youve lost a long time listener.

Love your show and your passion for KISS! Always look forward to the next episode!

This show definitely has some off weeks, but when it lands, boy howdy your head will spin. This show works because the guys (and gal) have chemistry, they're all pretty funny, and the main guy is a heck of an interviewer.

The best KISS podcast hands down. If you’re a die hard or new to the kiss army, this is what you need to be listening to.

In my opinion 3 Sides is the most honest, and entertaining of all the Kiss podcasts out there today. So much information being provided by awesome guests and credible sources. I can really tell that they are fans of the band and are honestly genuine in the opinions they speak of on the show.

Covid conversations on so many episodes lately! ENOUGH!!!

I have a origanal kiss ball pamphlet in good condition plus origami 70’s poster the. Destroyer , love gun and Peter crisses used drum stick vip pass from your an ace frehley patch

These guys think they know everything but are really just a three ring clown circus. Plenty of other kids podcasts don’t waste your time on this one

I discovered this podcast when the episode with Mark Slaughter came up on my recommended, and once I watched, I was instantly hooked

This podcast is as good as you can get for KISS fans! The personalities and interviews are incredible! Well done, 3 Sides!

People that love KISS will love this podcast. The hosts are different and bring different views. As they gain notoriety, they are getting some pretty big name guests. Keep up the good work Michael, Tommy, and Mark!

Simply amazing podcast any true real kiss fan will love three sides to coin also give marks band a check out on amazon or Spotify

I always like to be fair, so I will say that for a long time, this was my go to podcast. These guys have had on a lot of really great guests and covered some interesting and compelling topics. That being said, over the past couple of years, I’ve had to start skipping episodes or just turning them off before they’re done. While the hosts absolutely do have a right to express their opinions and run the show which ever way they please, I feel the one-sided viewpoints held by the hosts don’t make them very endearing or relatable. Michael’s tone is always bitter, Tommy can sound very condescending and Mark’s false modesty can be difficult to listen to. I know this review won’t change anything, and I’m not trying to. It’s just another opinion for potential listeners to consider so they know what they’re getting before they tune in.

But please stop playing that rock dog thing song

Michael, Tommy, Mark, and Lisa are diehard KISS fans who enjoy discussing rock and roll and have hosted some of biggest names in the music industry to reminisce about their favorite moments in KISSSTORY!!. You will not be disappointed.

I’ve listened to every episode of this show over the years. It’s a dubious thing, podcast culture. How this got to be the top Kiss podcast, I’ll never know. It usually takes a long time for them to get focused, as Chicinni can’t speak concisely. This used to be an okay listen, but lately all they do is berate anybody who see things differently than they do. That meatloaf lover is annoying. He's a gross, sweaty goof.

Tommy and Mark shine. Michael Brandvold doesn’t seem to like or respect the audience. Not likable.

I travel a lot for work and I really enjoy listening to 3Sides on the plane or rental car. I am only a moderate Kiss fan, but the show is so much more than that. Great guests, great topics, and just a fun listen. Thanks guys!

I enjoy this show tremendously! I appreciate the time and energy that you put into the podcast and I appreciate the quality product yielded by it. I greatly enjoy the vast majority of the topics and guests that you feature on the show, but even in instances wherein I start listening to an episode which features a topic or guest about which I am not especially excited (a) I ALWAYS enjoy the episode because of how much I enjoy your personalities and relationship dynamics and (b) I am often pleasantly surprised at how fascinating the topic/guest ends up actually being. Thank you and God bless you!

Who would have thought a podcast about Kiss would be so awesome. Not that I don't love Kiss but the way they wrap the show around life & music with keeping Kiss somewhere in the mix! 🤘😊🤘

As someone who is not a fan of the current Kiss lineup, I am still a huge fan of what these knuckleheads are doing. I discovered Three Sides through the Mark Slaughter episode and have not been disappointed since. I love the three different personalities and I also enjoy the many special guests (most notably David Snowden and Alexx Michael). I love to hate the Tool and enjoy seeing Mark’s collectibles. Keep up the great works guys (and weather gal).

I think I would enjoy this podcast more if you could get right to the topic at hand and eliminate most of the inane and pointless banter that seems to take up anywhere from a quarter to half of a show. Not to mention the technical difficulties that you seem to deal with on air.

Shame shame. Kevin Sullivan portion was great and stayed on point. BUT. The JJ part went to far off the track. Not entirely your fault but when JJ starts babbling about this that and the other it is differing bring him back to subject. That’s why I quit listyto his podcast because he can’t stay on subject.

You guys make long drives killer ! Always great stuff! Thank you!

I keep trying to listen to it and after listening for a minute or two I just turn it off. Just complete garbage and a waste of time.

Tommy and Mark are very good and entertaining. Michael ruins the podcast with his overly sensitive reactions to anyone who may have a differing opinion than his skewed opinion of Kiss-can-do-no-wrong. Used to love the show, but Michael’s contempt towards the listeners can ruin a show. Tommy and Mark seem to be really nice guys who you could run into at a bar and have a great conversation about Kiss or other bands. Michael just seems to be the opposite.

These guys, and Lisa when she’s on, offer some great KISS conversations. They’ve had amazing guests and can dive into minutia that captures your attention. But the main host Michael appears to love to stir the pot and thrives off people hating him. Over the years it seems like his #1 focus has gone from talking about KISS to talking about him creating controversy in Facebook groups and how he gets off on it. I can’t tolerate Michael any longer and no don’t listen which is too bad because Mark is a super fan who is passionate for all things KISS and Tommy is well spoken and massive fan who I think is a great guy and I enjoy hearing his point of view.

I tried this again since apps of Thunder is winding down. Nope. Michael Brandvold is still a tool.

These guys are like best friends that I've never met lol. Hopefully I'll meet them at some point at a KISS venue. I really enjoy listening to these guys every week. I've been listening a little over a year & haven't missed an episode yet, I look forward to Mondays to listen & Tuesdays to watch. Thank you guys so much for this show & everything you guys do. P.S. Every time i listen to your show my wife walks in & thinks Tommy's voice is Paul Stanley talking lol. Thanks again, Jason Randolph

These guys were decent once upon a time. Then it was just the interviews that were good. Now, the interviews aren;t even so hot. It's all "Look at Me", "See Who We Got On The Show", etc. Most irritating thing is thir viewpoint that Kiss is more popular now than ever since the attendence numbers don't lie while conveniently forgetting to mention the co-headlining tours, playing festivals and tours of places they haven't played in a long time which accounts for pent up demand. There are much better podcasts out there to listen to.

If you can get through the pathetically amateur audio quality, the title of this review sums up all you need to know about this podcast. The main host being the biggest offender. Who needs sleeping pills when you get weekly episodes of self-congratulatory drivel that last over 2 hours!? Seriously, these guys think they are really in KISS in some warped way. PASS!

The co-hosts are engaging and knowledgeable. The conversational-style content is insightful. The guests - fascinating. Simply put, I am a fan.

Best KI$$ fan podcast on the internet!!

Only KISS podcast I listen to. These guys are great.

Aweome !! Glad I found you guys

This show allows listeners to voice their opinions on various topics and start great debates (as long as we can keep it civil and respectful). More importantly it helps bring each of us back to key points in our lives that Kiss or music in general played a huge role. Awesome job gentlemen! Tuesday's Rock! 🤘🏻

Michael Brandload kills the show i was getting into it with him over the fact he insists that bringing Ace frehley back into kiss would not sell any more tickets to shows And i thought yes it would absolutely regenerate some excitement And bring back a lot of the fans who stopped gong to shows after Ace left But there is no talking to him he knows better than everyone And if you disagree with him you are labeled an idiot After going back And forth with him for a bit i had to leave for work so he tells me to have fun flipping hamburgers then he blocks me from commenting in the facebook group..When he saw me at the Kiss expo where i had a table because i am a Kiss merchandise dealer he saw me but would not come anywhere near my table...Look up the word schmuck in the dictionary you will see a pic of Mike BrandLoad

These guys have terrible audio (and video) quality, which honestly makes it difficult to sit through. Aside from that, the main host (guy with the biggest mouth) has of late been very obviously baiting (trolling) fans and potential listeners with his episode titles and his "point of view". If you are a KISS fan there are plenty of podcasts out there that have better hosts, better talk and better production. I hate to negatively review a podcast (a first for me actually), but if this guy is going to troll for attention then he should get "both sides" of the coin" (sorry for the pun) check out Rock and Metal Combat podcast, Kisstory Sciene Theater, Podkisst, Decibel Geek podcast and go from there. All great podcasts that love KISS AND MUCH MORE!

3 buddies sitting around discussing the minutiae of all things Kiss. It's like hanging out having a few drinks with your friends. Look forward to the show every week. Keep up the great work.

This persons has to be the more lame ignorant person in the planet one of them even talk like paul stanley what a joke their are all sucking up to paul stanley and kiss, if you want people take you seriusly at least says the true about kiss stuff. we all love them but if paul is singing bad and ruin the songs says it, give me pain see him i prefer him to take care of his voice and retired, he always can continued doing stuff in studio and that will be great. One more thing they can laugh about ace and peter fans but when they gave the opinion on their stuff they criticize evrything they do, is good to have the microphone.

I've been following this podcast for quite a while. At times it's great, at times it is just worthless. The weeks where they pull in guests that have unique insights into the band's history or doings, great. The weeks where they have nothing to talk about and rattle on about inane nothingness, are awful. The three cohosts can be awful annoying, talking over the top of each other and their guests. The primary host, Mike, stammers too much and interrupts frequently. Mark is entertaining but too full of himself (although I'm happy to hear he is a frllow Deep Purple freak), and Tommy should just give in and do a cheap trick podcast. I love cheap trick too, but there are other bands in the universe besides kiss and cheap trick. Tommy also needs to turn off his mic when he's blowing his nose, etc. In general, if they could knock 15 to 30 minutes off each show and get rid of some of the banter, it would be a much better podcast. More Lisa wouldn't hurt, although the guys really need to stop drooling over her.

When I first heard this show it blew my mind. I was never that good with women but when I started to listen to the pod cast and I started to talk about KISS, women paid attention. Now it may have built confidence in myself or it could be that this show really picks up chicks. So I listened the next week and I got 2 dates that week. I mean this is unreal. I started to talk about KISS to people and it was like a magnet. I mean this show really works. So, here come the next month and I end up with a threesome. I mean it's like I'm Gene Simmons!!! So using the stories and knowledge these guys have really helped my social life!!! Now this may not work for you, but you should listen and use this podcast. It has done wonders!!!

These guys need to learn how to edit and focus on production. The constant crackling of bad mic cords, awkward silences, uneven mic levels (you can barely hear people sometimes) and lame attempts at humor make this podcast hard to listen to. I want to love this podcast. This show could easily be trimmed down to an hour if they would tighten up the material.

Two years ago, I was searching for interesting podcasts of various topics and artists that I'm interested in. Then, through a quick research I found Three Sides of the Coin. The show has some GREAT GUESTS who have direct and/or indirect association with the rock band KISS. Micheal Brandvoid (the lead show runner) has a good sense in conducting an appropriate interview in getting GREAT stories that fans have yet heard. Mark Cicchini, a BIG TIME KISS collector, gives great insight with his unllimited knowledge, not only on KISS but various rock groups. And rounding out the table is Tommy Sommers, who is the glue that keeps it all together with his humor and fan thinking mentality. The crew is rounded out by Lisa (nickname "The Bullpen") who makes occasional appearances, singing (out of key) and gives a female perspective. The show is not entirely serious, as the guys tend to take jabs at each other and even other KISS fans (in a respective way). The show could use some techinical upgrades, but has a Waynes World vibe that is quite contagious. The show covers great KISS related topics that fans couldn't even imagine. This show is not all professional, as the hosts prefer it that way. TSOTC is a great resources in hearing unforgettable stories in the KISS world. There are over a dozen KISS related podcasts, but this show is second to none. Highly recommended.

One of my favorite podcasts. At first, thought a two-hour podcast would be way too long, even for a big fan. But give the quality of the guests, I get to the end and still want more. Very engaging, and the hosts have connections to snag great guests who offer fascinating behind-the-scenes stories about the band.

Dig this show. A band quite like no other. Thank you for doing this and keeping it going. Two things: 1. There's a new book about "The Elder" — thick! I'm all up in it. It's gonna be a while til I'm finished. Check it out. It's called "Odyssey." 2. Kiss trivia. Which one of y'all will answer this first? Every album during the era of the original lineup — even the solo albums — has at last one song with the "love" in the title, except for two. Which ones? Keep it up guys. Peace. hH
