TJR's Classic Rock Corner Podcast

Terrence pays tribute to the late KISS co-founder/guitarist.songwriter Ace Frehley by looking at the masterpiece Destroyer which I originally intended for an episode in 2021/22 but sat on it until now and is the least I can do for Ace. Plus KISS news and unlike  ⁨Dr Fukk and Ian Wadley and the schoolgirls at Rock and Metal Combat I don't goof on Paul Stanley's speech impediment because it's cruel and childish and they need to GROW UP and make amends with  ⁨Free Form Rock Podcast's Marc Alden Taylor and TJR (yours truly) before it's too late and if losing Ozzy and Ace can't cause people to reconcile and be friends NOTHING WILL.
