Rating:  - A fun read for a great price
Like many other fans, I had seen many of these photos already. But some were new to me, and going through the pictorial history with the commentary from Gene and Paul -- which was, as always, interesting, yet self-aggrandizing -- was well worth the six or seven bucks I paid for this used. Another reviewer noted that Gene's eyes are blacked out in many of the photos. I noticed that as well, and I'm not sure what the story is there, but it certainly doesn't ruin the book, as that reviewer claimed. ... Read More
Rating:  - KISS The Early Years Waring Abbott
I recieved this book yesterday & I must say I am impressed! The book is the a great representation of KISS during their formative & most vibrant years together- It also takes look at the Music From The Elder time period which the band & fans alike respond with mixed feelings. KISS has always been & will remain a visual group. This being said, it is made quite clear through the pages within that the attraction to KISS music is the attitude that the band has sustained for over 3 decades ... Read More
Rating:  - What is with the eyes!
I have been a Kiss fan for 25 years,so when I heard about this book I was excited.When I got it I was horrified to find all the photo's had been altered from there original prints.For some unknowen reason they decided to add ink to all of Gene Simmons eyes(blacking out his pupils)It ruined a book that very well could have been the best Kiss photo book to date.
Rating: - To DIE for
This book was really amazing because of its historical and photographic conception. I was really blown away by the quality of this photo book because it makes other bands' books look puny and unimportant. Many times bands put out books that offer either too much boring writing without content or dazzling photos in empty pages. Here Kiss is the focus and the images and content is actually very exciting. It works to their visual appeal and charismatic persona. The quality of the photos is really breathtaking ... Read More
Rating: - ONE OF TWO WORTHWHILE ROCK BOOKS JUST OUT
I have been a Kiss fan since I was a boy in the mid 1970s and what a trip down memory lane this book was. It was pretty cool to see all these pictures from the early years and hear the stories behind them. I have to admit that I was fascinated to see it all for the first time. But would I still buy a new Kiss album...probably not. It was just a little nostalgia. I recommend this one...but the better brand new rock book I've read is "LAYNE STALEY: Angry Chair" about the Alice In Chains singer ... Read More
