Description

This book is a collective effort on the authorsÕ part to remember KISS, one of the most important hard-rock bands of the 1970s and 1980s. Arguably KISS was the first major act in rock music history to present rock music as Entertainment Product firstly and music only secondarily. We discuss the original, democratic concept of the Fab Four - Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter - as well as SimmonsÕ and StanleyÕs subsequent American Dream ideology. We go on to analyse the current version of the band in the light of the original line-up. We find that the KISS fan base is divided with some fans accepting SimmonsÕ current view that the four personas can be utilized by anyone chosen by the bandÕs leadership; a second group which tries to correct the alleged historical injustices committed against Frehley and Criss; and a third group which is cynical about the current version of the band but mostly holds its peace. Includes bonus 68-page Metallica book.
