About this product

Product Information

Fueled by an explosive mix of make-up, costumes, attitude, and music, Kiss has sold 80 million records in 30 years and is second only to the Beatles and the Rolling Stones in number of gold records. From their 1996 reunion through their 2000-2001 Farewell Tour, they lead the pack of today's touring bands and their fans simply will not deny themselves anything Kiss-related.Gene Simmons is the master behind the madness and Kiss and Make-Up is the first book from Gene himself. Delivered in Gene's own honest, outrageous, uncensored, and often hilarious voice, here is the story of Gene's arrival in America under the wing of his fiercely protective mother; his first taste of comic books and 1950s pop culture; his thirst for fame, fun, and girls; his realization that playing in a rock band was the key to it all; and the inside story of Kiss's reign as the biggest, most fiercely adulated band in the world. Kiss and Make-up contains dozens of previously unpublished photographs from Gene's private collection.Finally, the real story of the man behind the make-up.

Kiss and Make Up
I'm a long time fan, but never got around to reading Gene's books. This one is written very simply. Gene's memories about childhood in some aspects is awesome. All in all, it was a good read...managed it in about two days. The only reason I rated it down was the constant bashing of Ace and Peter. At least once in every chapter there was an issue with one or the other of them. I would have preferred Gene stick with Gene...make a statement and be done with it. I'm not saying Ace and Peter don't deserve it, but we didn't need all the gory details. I would have like to hear more about life on the road, and more personal details and memories. No Gone With The Wind, but a good read all in all. Got it for a great price in good condition. Would have been a bit disappointed to have paid ...

Gene is outspoken....and loves himself and money. He has a awesome sense of humor. He has awesome memory recall. See, don't be a drinker or smoker !! Gene can be blunt. His sex stories move super quick, as if a hamburger drive-thru. Ace and Pete get their fair share of punches. Paul is an angel....oooohhhhh boy.....talk about religious favor. Oh yeah, Gene is an angel too in all this. A hard working, from poverty Isreal, to New York dumbfoundednesss. Cute Gene. He writes quite good, but it's very biased. Like a con man carnival barker thing.Gene is outspoken....and loves himself and money. He has a awesome sense of humor. He has awesome memory recall. See, don't be a drinker or smoker !!
