Chris Jericho Visits Legendary Guitarist’s Secret KISS Museum

Chris Jericho filmed the latest episode of his podcast, Talk is Jericho, from a secret museum dedicated to KISS. The museum was created over many years by legendary Rob Zombie / Marilyn Manson guitarist John 5 and it contains over 5,000 pieces of memorabilia.

Jericho has always been a massive KISS fan, even attending the band's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2014. This podcast episode is an extra special treat for KISS fanatics, as John 5 takes Jericho through this one-of-a-kind collection, which includes the original Alive! bass drum head rescued from a Michigan flood, the fragile “KISS Scream Machine” cups, Halloween masks from the 1975 tour, rare Japanese cassette box sets with collector binoculars, promotional record-store displays, MEGO dolls, original ticket stubs and tour itineraries, and the first-ever handmade KISS t-shirt.

"I guess it started when I was a little kid and I got my first album which was Love Gun," John 5 tells Jericho. "Then I started getting the the dolls and the trash can and all that stuff and I just started collecting when I was a kid because I have a collective soul."

"I guess why people collect is it gives them a good feeling of their childhood and things like that. I had a wonderful childhood, and I just kept collecting and just kept on building and building."

Jericho was one of many wrestlers to pay tribute to KISS guitarist Ace Frehley after his death earlier this month. Get your virtual tour of John 5's KISS museum along with some serious KISStory talk in the podcast below.
