Mark St. John

I don't know, man.

Marketing.

80s marketing, man.

Didn't really.

Yes, he is.

And we got Mark St. John.

Mark St. John replaced Vinnie Vincent as, I guess, the third guitar player in Kiss, right? Mark St.

John right there.

Very, very short stint with Kiss.

to me was just

kind of, I wanted to like it a lot more than I did.

But the whole thing, the whole Mark St. John part of this is what's so fascinating because when Vinnie Vincent came in, as we were saying a minute ago, they had the big reveal on MTV.

should have thought of that.

That was Mark St. John after he was in Kiss.

he developed this weird disease in his hands.

And he did one album with Kiss and then a couple of shows.

And then Bruce Kulik comes in to take over the tour.

And then he stays for like the next decade as Kiss's lead guitar player.

And then after Mark St. John got past his affliction, he formed this band called White Tiger.

Oh, wow.

Well, they have been doing these off-the-soundboard recordings, but a lot of them have been...

I mean, they've been neat because, for example, they've got one of the only shows that Mark St. John ever played with them live.

They've got shows with the last lineup of the band.

They've got shows with Eric Carr and Bruce Kulik as well.

We've got the ear of Spotify-only Daniel.

Marcus Almighty, Mark, and St. Louis Kiss Lonnie.

And obviously with the artwork, you can tell we're going to be talking about the Kiss Destroys Anaheim 1976 release.

Thanking everyone who's joining us live.

Good for

you.

All right, Mark, how about you? North of the border.

How did you consume your Anaheim?

I wish Kiss did the same respectful type of tribute for Eric Carr, even Bill O'Coin on the farewell tour.

I can understand not really giving a full tribute to Mark St. John since his tenure was a blink and you miss it, but both Carr and O'Coin made key contributions over the many years that deserve to be recognized.

Great episode as always, boys.

Great stuff, Lana, as always.

I just wasn't really interested in that period of them, though.

I mean that's literally that is when I got into Kiss like I didn't even know Kiss wore makeup I thought Mark St. John was the original guitar player for Kiss

oh that's what I was trying to think of so it went from Vinnie Vincent to Mark St. John to Bruce Cooley didn't it uh-huh so did Mark St. John only play one show

he played one or two I think he played one full show and he played a maybe two or three partials like where he there was a show where he played half a show and then Bruce came out and played because he had the hand problem but Bruce was filling in on the tour and so Bruce was showing like he was like man I got to make the best of this and he did make the best I mean he ended up 10 years in the band after that but yeah Mark only did and the show the one full show he did they released it like last two years ago

One of those live, the soundboard thing.
