Rating:  - KISS: The rest of the story
The insightful anecdotes from previous road crew, opening acts and managers make this book a must have for any KISS fan.
For so long we've heard Gene & Paul's re-visionist history of the band, so it's great to hear other perspectives. While these stories may not be 100% accurate either, when pieces of stories from other KISS books are added to these, you get a more complete picture.
There are a lot of funny stories in here, that make the band more relatable and less ... Read More
Rating: - Absolutely a "must have" for KISS hardcore fans!
Perfect book, beyond my expectations.
The work inside is a huge achievement. You will love each line inside. Great pictures from all KISS eras. A real big book (in any means).
Rating: - Kind of makes you feel like you were in KISS
I read a book by Gene Simmons called KISS AND TELL. I also read a book about KISS called BEHIND THE MASK.

Rating: - A ton of info
this is a great read. i like to just pick it up and browse. Interesting to see the actual attendence figures because they prove how much money KISS LOST in order to put on a good show. There are many dates that werent even close to selling out (mostly in the 80s), but it also shows that even in their hey day they usually only sold out places with apprx. 8 - 10,000 seats. Being compared to todays standards, that is pretty weak considering the sizeable show they toured with.
The set lists are interesting ... Read More
Rating: - Great Read
