review KISS and Make up

KISS and Make up characters Û 8 Read Ø eBook, ePUB or Kindle PDF Å Gene Simmons review KISS and Make up The paperback publication of KISS and Make Up promises as much excitement as the hardcover generated in December 2001 with the book garnering reviews from publications such as TV Guide The New York Times Magazine and Rolling Stone and Gene appearing on Today T I purposely avoided this book for years I really didn t have any desire to read this given that I already knew about KISS than Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley combined But out of sheer boredom and nothing else to read I decided to give this one a shot at long last My first impression when picking the book up and holding it in my hands was how small the book looked For a band like KISS and it s author Gene Simmons I would expect nothing less than 500 pages But this looked like a book that I would finish in just a few days 3 days to be exactUpon reading the book I uickly realized that I wasn t going to get anything new from the man himself Everything that you have ever heard about KISS and its humble beginnings and you KISS fans know exactly what I m talking about you have seen and heard the stories told a million times over from Gene himself either in on camera interviews or print from magazines and other books over the yearsI was hoping to get a detailed account of most of the pivotal moments of the band s history But that was not the case here Most of the back history from his days as a child all the way to the Farewell Tour is pretty much glossed over recounting stuff that most KISS fan s already know And when the band isn t being talked about in the book Gene is bragging about his sexual exploits But the way he paints the picture of each woman he banged it comes off as a bad clich of a porn plot After awhile it just becomes laughable every time he talks about yet another conuest I m not saying that none of this happened or that it didn t happen the way he describes It s just left me laughing than admiring his ability to get any woman he wantsThe only thing that I found fascinating within the pages of KISS And Make up was the dirt he dishes on Ace Frehley and Peter Criss These are the only things that came off as new to me that I had never heard about Sure I have heard both Gene and Paul slam both Ace and Peter for years and years But getting first hand accounts of what Ace and Peter did to incur the wrath of Gene was somewhat eye opening here But after awhile it just seemed a bit harsh and started to feel and like character assassination on them for the sake of just getting back at them I m not saying that none of what Gene described didn t happen But there are two sides to every story and it s why I anxiously await the release of Ace s book to hear what he has to say on the matterAll in all I would recommend this book only to those that know nothing about KISS and need a uick crash course on the band For everyone else I would just get it from the library which is what I did here
