This week, Three Sides Of The Coin (the unofficial and unsanctioned KISS talk show), welcomes the very engaging and honest LAMB OF GOD manager, Larry Mazer. Before taking on metal\u2019s most powerful band, Mazer ran the day-to-day affairs for Rock \u2019N Roll Hall Of Fame nominees, KISS. From the late \u201880s to the mid \u201890s, Mazer guided KISS through the Hot In The Shade tour, the passing of Eric Carr, and the making of the Bob Ezrin produced landmark album, Revenge.

"During the time that I managed (KISS) there wasn't a week that went by, where a promoter didn\u2019t called and ask me about putting the make up back on,\u201d said Mazer reminiscing about the band\u2019s halcyon pre-reunion tour era). During those career defining years, Mazer urged that, \u201cThe Demon has got to come back into the band.\u201d Well placed advice for a band heading into the studio to record what would be the band\u2019s greatest non-makeup era album, Revenge. An album that also came on the heels on the band\u2019s greatest loss, the passing of longtime drummer Eric Carr, which Mazer discusses candidly during this interview.

Mazer also reveals that on the subsequent tour for the album, he pushed for Ace Frehley to share the stage with the band once again albeit as the support act (an idea that the band \u201cshot down,\u201d quickly).

His relationship with the band ended before their famed \u2018reunion tour\u2019, while KISS embarked on the much maligned KISS MY ASS tribute album project to which Mazer bluntly states, \u201cit\u2019s cool when an act does a tribute to you, but doing a tribute to yourself is not cool.\u201d

In the over one hour conversation with the team at Three Sides Of The Coin, Larry brings the listeners through the highs and lows of the band\u2019s pre-reunion tour days, but ends by empathically stating, "I've been a manager for 40 years. The most fun, as far as just fun, I ever had was managing KISS.\u201d
