“The Ghost Musicians on KISS Albums EXPOSED”

In this episode of The Hooligan Nation: A KISS-Centric Podcast, the Hooligans dive deep into one of the most debated topics in KISStory — the use of ghost and session musicians on KISS albums.

From questions surrounding studio performances to behind-the-scenes contributors, we explore the legacy of KISS, including discussions about members like Ace Frehley and Peter Criss, and the producers and players who may have stepped in during key recording sessions.

How common was this in the 70s and 80s? Did it impact the band’s authenticity? And does it even matter if the songs are iconic?

This episode breaks down myth vs reality, studio practices, and what it all means for the KISS legacy.

🎸 Do ghost musicians change how you view a classic album?
