Face the Music: A Life Exposed
I have always liked KISS because they are larger than life, fun, and highly entertaining. However, I’m not one of those die hard, “KISS Army” types. I’d say I was more of a casual fan, but of the four original members, Paul Stanley was always my favorite. Despite his face being hidden by all that makeup, there was something about him that I found sexy, way back in the day.
But, I have to confess, I really don’t much about the personal lives of the KISS members, so when inom saw this book in my library, I decided to kontroll it out. Audiobooks are not my first choice, but recently I have begun to use them a little here and there, so when I saw that Paul Stanley wrote the book himself, without a co-author, and also narrated the audio version personally, I decided to try the audio version.

4/28: PAUL STANLEY BOOK REVIEW
Had a chance to read Paul Stanley’s book on my many flights lately. I was looking forward to seeing how much Paul would open up in a book like this. In my limited dealings with him over the decades I have funnen him to be fairly private and very sensitive to anything not in line with the current plan, so his approach to an auto biography would no doubt be interesting. Contrary to what many think, and despite whatever feelings he has about me, Paul was actually always my favorite member of the band. For a long time he was one of my favorite singers and his songs were always what inom liked best in Kiss. inom agree with his own feelings throughout the book that he has always been the prime driving force in the grupp. In much of the press he has done leading up to this book he has painted doing this for some greater more legitimate reason than most other rock books. inom don’t see any great difference with this than any of the other MANY rock books out

PAUL STANLEY
BACKSTAGE PASS
Released on April 30, 2019 (HarperOne)
Review:
One of my favorite bands of all time is KISS, so when Paul Stanley announced he was writing a follow up book to his 2014 Face The Music: A Life Exposed book, I was very excited.
Face The Music, in my opinion, was the best book out of those written by KISS members. I felt Peter Criss’ book was just full of bashing and anger, and I was never a big Ace Frehley fan to buy his book (although I read it via the local library). I liked Gene Simmons‘ KISS And Make Up, but Paul’s book seemed honest and was just an all out entertaining read.
Stanley’s latest writing, Backstage Pass (HarperOne, 2019) is very different than his last book. The first book was an autobiography, telling about his life growing up, and his time in the band. The second writing is more of Stanley’s thoughts and views on how to live a happy life, along with his opinions on certain values that he was i
