Geekwire Week of 06.22.26 - Ep673

Geekwire is back with another round of the latest, greatest, and weirdest in Rock news headlines. This week, we cover 2026 Songwriters Hall of Fame honorees Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley and Gene's sudden absence at the ceremonies. Also on the show: Ace Frehley’s 1975 Les Paul brings serious money at auction (but is it legit?), KISS lays out its 2026 programming for the land-locked Vegas Kruise, and Rush launches its Fifty Something tour with drummer Anika Nilles behind the kit. Elsewhere, Faith No More’s Bill Gould offers hope for a return to live activity, Vivian Campbell reconnects with Sweet Savage, and Stephen Pearcy reveals his extremely rock-and-roll vocal warmup routine. We also touch on Ozzy Osbourne’s possible A.I. avatar, the 40th anniversary of Heavy Metal Parking Lot, a new supernatural heavy metal/horror series, and the Download Festival Ferris wheel story that absolutely did not need to happen. We also share our excitement for the upcoming Mountain Music Fest taking place in Gatlinburg, TN in August. Hang with us there! We hope you enjoy Geekwire and SHARE with a friend!

Before the Thunder: A Conversation with Lew Linet - Ep671

Before the fire, before the blood, before the bombs, the boots, the makeup, and the myth… there was a struggling New York band trying to find its way. This week, we go Before the Thunder with Lew Linet — the man who witnessed Wicked Lester evolve into KISS. He saw Gene Klein become Gene Simmons, Stanley Eisen become Paul Stanley, Peter Crisscuola become Peter Criss, and Paul Frehley become Ace. From the shelved Epic Records album to the early club grind at The Daisy, Lew was there before the world understood what was coming. This is the story of rejection, reinvention, and persistence — told by someone who saw the lightning strike before the thunder rolled. He later built a career in the automotive industry, carrying those early lessons in perseverance into the training work he still shares today.
