Back In The Solo Album Groove Interview: David Edward Byrd
Renowned graphic artist/illustrator details the "hellacious" experience of creating the interlocking solo album murals, plus other assorted KISS odds and ends
KissFAQ: David, before we get into the solo album murals, you've mentioned that you were asked to design a logo for Neil Bogart for his new company at the time, Casablanca Records. And you also went to an early KISS photo shoot. Can you recount these stories for us?
David Edward Byrd: Yeah, let's see. At the time, I was a poster artist of the Fillmore East in New York. We opened in '68 and we didn't do a lot of posters in New York, unlike San Francisco. It's not that kind of theater situation. New Yorkers is sit down and listen. So we didn't do a lot of posters because it wasn't like a poster scene. I think that's how Neil knew about me. He called me to his office, which was Buddah Records in the Brill Building as I recall. The Brill Building is very famous for songwriters as you know.

A classic poster from Kiss‘ appearance at St. Petersburg’s Bayfront Center on Oct. 20, 1975, recently fetched a whopping $3,125 after nearly 30 bids on eBay.
On tour behind its career-saving ‘Alive’ album, the band opened the show with ‘Deuce’ and concluded with an encore that featured ‘Cold Gin’ and ‘Rock and Roll All Nite.’ According to the poster, tickets were $5.50 in advance and $6.50 at the door.
The winning eBay bidder also received original photos taken at this Florida concert and the ticket stub. Though the poster was never folded or rolled, it does contain various pinholes. As the seller says, “It hung on the closet doors of a young Kiss fan for many years. Back then, no thought was given to ‘mint condition’ or other such silliness.”
The 7,500-seat Bayfront Center was built in 1965 and demolished in 2004. Kiss, meanwhile, continue to tour with only Gene Simmons and Paul Stanleyremaining from the 1975 edition.
Spotted a Kiss T-shirt in the movie Pain & Gain...just sayin'.
They are very good to their fans...
How nice of them...
KISS' Monster album gets a Universal Music special release on May 31st. The Monster - Limited Tour Edition will also include the bonus track, 'Right Here Right Now' (previously available on iTunes only). The new edition will also include a poster.
This is hilarious:
Reworking the group.
