Episode 550. In February 1999 while running KISSONLINE.com Michael Brandvold interviewed producer Bruce Fairbairn about his work on KISS Psycho Circus. The entire interview was at one time available on KISSONLINE, but has long since been deleted. Michael wasn’t sure he still had the original interview. How appropriate that shortly after the 25th anniversary of the release of Psycho Circus Michael found the original interview stored in a box. Sadly Bruce passed away just a few months after this interview was conducted. Here is the entire interview, unedited.

We are proud to be bring you what was one of Bruce’s final interviews so we can all remember the work he did on KISS Psycho Circus.

Episode 551. Fascinating interview this week with legendary producer Tom Werman. Tom starts by taking us back to working with Wicked Lester and then the performance when KISS auditioned for Epic Records and what his bosses response was. We then move on to many of the bands he produced, hearing some amazing stories!

As an A&R man at Epic Records, Werman helped introduce the world to REO Speedwagon, Boston, Ted Nugent, and Cheap Trick; he also discovered KISS, Rush, and Lynyrd Skynyrd, but his record label passed on all of them. Then, as an independent producer, he oversaw landmark albums by Mötley Crüe (Shout At The Devil), Twisted Sister (Stay Hungry), Lita Ford (Dangerous Curves), Jeff Beck (Live With Jan Hammer), Poison (Open Up And Say … Ahh!), and many more. All in all, his record-making résumé includes twenty-three gold- or platinum-selling albums and cumulative sales of more than fifty-two million copies.
