Hey thanks, Jeff, still got these to sign and send from martinpopoff.com - it's not just about Kiss, but all of 1976!
@PopoffMartin I just got it! I can’t wait to dig into it! Looks awesome’
Please do a sequel for 1977 & 1978. Nobody ever seems to do books on those years.
You always do a great job! Love your books!
Thanks for that, David, Yeah, long overdue.
Awesome interview with former Uriah Heep vocalist Peter Goalby by @PopoffMartin outsiderrock.ca/2025/11/20/p…
Peter played with the great rhythm section of The Blizzard of Ozz: Bob Daisley and Lee Kerslake, including a demo called Valley of Kings which morphed into Fire in the Sky on Ozzy Osbourne's No Rest for the Wicked
Frig, yeah, thanks, Simon - but this will look like a pamphlet once I finish my Paice Ashton Lord book.
One bonus of the snowy shenanigans in Scarborough is time to start on this 624 page beast of a publication by @PopoffMartin
Wicked, thanks, Steven, keep doing the friggin' mesmerizing thing you do.
Martin Popoff makes his debut on The Farm to discuss BOC's legendary "Imaginos cycle," including its occult implications of World War I. What is behind the Imaginos revival? Bang it here..

Love it, thank you for that. Yeah, this one is like the Rush trilogy - just everything I had, stuck in there. ha ha, how's that for a review?
@PopoffMartin Well, it's taken me a couple of months (but I've read every word) and I have reached the final chapter. As a Maiden fan myself since 1980, through all eras, it's been a great ride. Such a fantastic book. Thanks very much 😃
Thanks again, Corey, very cool. Getting a lot of people who have seen it. The power of The Star.
for @TorontoStar, i profiled music writer @PopoffMartin, the author of 135 books and counting thestar.com/entertainment/bo…
Ha ha, that's the kind of trivia I don't have anywhere in my computer (or brain) - thanks for that!
April 27, 2021 - @PopoffMartin's "Driven: Rush in the '90s and In the End" (Rush Across the Decades Volume 3) is released amzn.to/3S5nNyR
Nice chatting, Parish. My fave part of this was "battle of the Christmas tree ornaments."
Recently I appeared on 🔴 🅻🅸🆅🅴 @TContrarians show with @PopoffMartin & @GrantAddia pitting 2 great American Glam debuts. Also the battle of the cool logos. But which did I pick? Watch & find out.

I shared a share, but thanks Chuck, and onward.
Fun chat with @PopoffMartin about his new @gunsnroses book, plus hair metal, grunge, rockstars and more!

Which bands did that guitar nattering back and forth best? #PantheonPods @PantheonPods music.amazon.ca/podcasts/235…
The hit set-up is: platinum-certified albums nobody pays no never mind. #PantheonPods @PantheonPods music.amazon.ca/podcasts/235…
Something I might explore more. Looking for the top few seconds of a band's catalogue. #PantheonPods @PantheonPods music.amazon.ca/podcasts/235…
An odd theory, but what do you think? Screw the idea of calling anything proto-punk? #PantheonPods @PantheonPods music.amazon.ca/podcasts/235…
Thanks Kevster - a tough task; had to do two follow-ups.
