It was the age when heavy-footed, humorless dinosaurs roamed the hard-rock landscape. But that all changed when these four dazed and confused mid-'70s flamboyant bands that reveled in revved-up anthems and flaunted a novel theatricality.
Author Doug Brod seamlessly interweaves the narratives of KISS, Cheap Trick, and Aerosmith and Starz, taking us back to a time when rock became fun again and a gig became a show. We talk about each band's birth, rebirths, and where they belong in music history.
