On 25. August, 1977, Kiss made an in-studio promotional appearance at KTNQ Ten-Q Radio in Los Angeles while in town for their sold-out “Love Gun” tour performances at the Forum. Hosted by Don Steele, the segment—often referred to by collectors as “KISS Mania at Ten-Q”. The appearance was a loose, high-energy exchange typical of Top-40 radio at the time. Rather than a formal interview, the session functioned as a fast-paced promotional segment, combining humor, on-air banter, and tour hype, with Steele’s rapid delivery matching the band’s larger-than-life personas. The band was unmasked wearing helmets and bandana in order to hide their faces.
