 Get ready to rock! This week on Tribute Band Sessions, we hang with Rich Kosak, frontman of Mr. Speed—the Kiss tribute that’s been igniting crowds for 31 years. Rich shares his journey from early influences like Cat Stevens and Peter Frampton to the first Kiss concert that lit the fuse. Hear how Mr. Speed was born from a record-show encounter and a shared love of guitar—and how the band evolved into one of the world’s most authentic Kiss tributes. Rich reveals the dedication behind the spectacle: a custom 1979-style Kiss drum riser built by the son of the original craftsman, fire-breathing shows, blood-spitting, and confetti storms. He opens up about the grind of keeping a pro tribute band alive, the Vegas highs and nightmares, and his unshakable mission to honor Kiss with heart, hustle, and detail. We talk authenticity, business smarts, costume investments, and his personal motto: passion first, profit second. Whether you’re a die-hard Kiss fan or just love rock history, this is a 31-year odyssey of sweat, makeup, and pyro you don’t want to miss. 🎸 Listen & Follow Tribute Band Sessions: 🌐 Website 🎧 Spotify 🍎 Apple Podcasts 📘 Facebook 📸 Instagram 🎵 TikTok 🐦 X (Twitter) 💬 Threads 👉 Watch Tribute Band Sessions on YouTube Find Mr. Speed https://www.mrspeedonline.com/ ⁠⁠ Chapters: 0:00 – The Dynasty Drum Riser & Meeting Kiss 0:52 – Welcome to Tribute Band Sessions w/ Rich Kosak 2:33 – Early Musical Roots & New England Connection 4:23 – Working in Music & Paul Stanley’s Acknowledgment 5:35 – Vegas Dreams & Dedication 7:29 – Mr. Speed’s Philosophy: One Day at a Time 8:49 – Accidental Genesis of a Tribute Band 10:14 – The Pursuit of Perfection: Sound, Sight & Spectacle 11:35 – The Business of Rock & Staying Top-Tier 13:06 – Setlist Challenges & Fan Expectations 15:53 – The Drum Riser Saga Revisited 17:15 – Investment in Illusion: Props & Pyro 19:40 – Vegas Competition Victory 20:30 – The Vegas Debacle Story 22:29 – Career Highlights: Freedom Hall & NBA Arenas 24:39 – Policing the Tribute Scene 26:27 – Cost of Commitment & The Look 28:16 – Cadillac Cards & Kiss’s Corporate Shift 30:03 – Booking Challenges & Fighting for the Dream 31:45 – Building the Mr. Speed Lineup 34:10 – Physical Demands & Paul Stanley’s Inspiration 35:07 – Honoring Eric Carr with Sister’s Blessing 37:30 – Advice for Aspiring Tribute Musicians 38:45 – Beyond the Music: Look & Business Sense 40:00 – Mr. Speed’s Success Formula 41:29 – The Future: Vegas and Beyond Find Mr. Speed https://www.mrspeedonline.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.
