    Great read! Highly recommend
  

*by P***C on Reviewed in the United States on November 14, 2018*

Like a lot of kids back in the mid to late 70s, I was a huge KISS fan and they were my very first concert experience in 1977. But, admittedly, I kind of 'grew out' of my KISS phase by high school as I discovered other groups and styles of music, and only listened to them on rare occasions in the ensuing years (although I still followed news reports about them). When they launched the first of their 'farewell tours' in the late 1990s, I caught one of their shows. I finally decided to buy Paul's book for a couple reasons, 1.) I'm on a kick lately reading a lot of band/musician biographies and autobiographies, especially of the music I grew up with, and 2.) I've always been curious to read a first-hand description of the origin of KISS.  I went into this with moderate expectations and was pleasantly surprised by the book overall. Paul was honest, candid and thoroughly captivating. I learned a lot about him as a person and what motivated him to get into music, start the band KISS and to continue participating in it for the next four decades. It was kind of hard putting this book down to be perfectly honest. If you're a KISS fan, this is a great book. If you aren't, it's still a great book. I'm now listening to these guys again on Spotify, and am planning to see them on their next "final" tour in March, 2019.

    He should of called this book "KISS and Complain"
  

*by M***K on Reviewed in the United States on October 2, 2014*

I loved and hated this book. I loved it because I enjoyed the triumphs over his obstacles, and found it inspiring. BUT as a long time fan of KISS I found Paul Stanley a big disappointment as a human being. He basically starts the book by complaining about his parents and blaming them for his short comings, or for not being supportive. When he speaks of the early years of KISS it's clear he has a personal vendetta against drummer Peter Criss for whatever reason, in fact there is not one time he mentions Peter in a positive light. Every single time Peters name comes up it's to trash him. From Peters performance as a drummer, his singing, his lack of song writing skills, to his personal misgivings, to his "complaining" (and it seems Paul also does his fair share of whining here.)  No I don't think Peter was the greatest rock and roll drummer there ever was, but lets face it not everyone in the 70s was Keith Moon, Neil Peart and John Bonham, but in his prime Peter held his own. Paul goes as far as to say he couldn't solo and he sounded like "Ricky Ricardo playing the bongos instead of a rock and roll drummer" Which I found amusing but also disheartening, Peters drum solos were probably the most memorable and energetic on any live album period. Yes he fell apart and stop caring in the late 70s but hey, give credit where credit is due. If he was such an awful drummer, person, and singer (yes he even said Peter couldn't sing) then why have him in the band to begin with?, and why wait so long to get rid of him? Later Paul tells a story how his first live in girlfriend was on drugs and he put her out on the street as soon he found out,  which he seemed to be bragging about. Nice guy right? In his early days as a cab driver he also brags about stealing money from his job.  Later in the book he finds out his father was in a loveless marriage with his mother and had a long term mistress, Paul basically s***s all over his dad for it... after writing through out the whole book about all the women he's slept with. I suppose in Paul's eyes his dad was only permitted one for his whole life.  What makes all this so disappointing is that Paul is a grown man, he's not in his 20s where he can bitch and it's cool and rebellious, he's in his 60s, and to use his own words  "complaining about winning the lottery and having to pay taxes" Rather than being forgiving and seeing the big picture, which is. "Hey my childhood was rough, but it made me who I am and I wouldn't change that for a thing." " Peter was great and did a lot for the band, including Beth, and some diversity in vocals, and maybe he wasn't the  John Bonham I fantasized about playing with but he did some tasty drum lines and memorable solos, if only he weren't such a pain in the ass" ...  He is more forgiving toward Ace, and it comes off more honest when he complains about him. He also bitches a lot about Gene trying to take credit for being the genius behind KISS and sets the record straight there. He even bitches about the late Eric Carr, which wasn't his first choice for replacing Peter.  Toward the end of the book he comes around and tries to convince everyone what a great guy he is because he found love and has kids. What I did like about the book was he did show us a side to him which we don't often see. His ear deformity, growing up and while with the band, the fact that he had no friends, and that's why he worked so hard ( big surprise there, he still doesn't realize he was a selfish jerk.)  So yeah Peter bitches about being ripped off and taken advantage of in his book, and Paul doesn't lead me to believe this wasn't the case. I suppose after reading all there bios (and Lydia's) I can see they all have different view points about how things went down, and why they did the things they did. But Paul and Gene walked away with KISS,A and all the money and glory that comes with it, to continue bitching about 2 guys that helped put, and keep them on the map is beyond me. KISS was on the verge of being a one hit wonder before "Beth" can you give Peter some credit for at the very least being the voice behind the song that saved your ass from obscurity?  In the end it was still an interesting read, but also a turn off.

    EXCELLENT
  

*by Z***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 28, 2018*

I bought the audible along with the book. I'm a lifelong KISS fan, and I really enjoyed hearing Paul, himself, read his book. It was very well done and he is a fascinating person to have gotten to know this way. I've always favored Paul, but now, I have a lot more to favor about him. Get it with the Audible - there is nothing like hearing a story told by the person who wrote and lived it.
