KISS: The rest of the story

The insightful anecdotes from previous road crew, opening acts and managers make this book a must have for any KISS fan.

For so long we've heard Gene & Paul's re-visionist history of the band, so it's great to hear other perspectives. While these stories may not be 100% accurate either, when pieces of stories from other KISS books are added to these, you get a more complete picture.

There are a lot of funny stories in here, that make the band more relatable and less iconic. It's also funny to realize how often, even during the Reunion Tour that Gene set his hair on fire.

Worth every cent you'll spend on it!

The Bottom Line...

This is a fantastic book! The work and detail that went into this book really paid off. I find this to be a great companion to the Chris Lendt book. Both books show how Gene & Paul have revised Kisstory to fit their own agendas.


A great resource!

Speaking as a KISS fan who has seen the band seven times in the past thirty years, this book is a winner.
The authors went to great lengths to describe each era of the band ( Alive, Love Gun, Dynasty, etc.) with costume, stage, and lineup info. Each chapter also has date appropriate photos as a bonus. The book includes all dates and venues of every concert with comments from insiders who were there at the time. If you want to know how many times Gene set his hair on fire, or if Peter really played every concert, then this book is for you.
I used this book as a resource to help clarify exactly which tours I had seen over the years, and who was in the band at the time. I had totally forgotten that "New England" opened up for them in 1979 at the Omni in Atlanta.
This book is a few years old, and it ends during the farewell tour of 2001-2002.
There may be a bit too much info for some, but you could skip over the "small print" if nessessary.
I found this to be an entertaining read from start to finish.

KISS is unequaled in the world of concert performance. Over a quarter century?s worth of visually spectacular and financially profitable concerts are testimony to that fact. KISS Alive Forever is the must-have reference for every die-hard KISS fan?-a complete archive of well over 1,900 performances, all categorized by tour.

KISS fans will find extensive overviews of each tour, including the number of shows, start and end dates, song pool, opening acts cross-referenced by tour, and average attendance. Entries on individual performances include date of show, city, state, and location of show, opening act, attendance, facility capacity, and promoter, as well as descriptions of the shows themselves.

Entertaining sidebars feature one-on-one interviews with members of the KISS road crew, as well as with opening acts such as Iron Maiden, Rush, Cheap Trick, and Styx. Also included are an index of all 233 songs in the band?s catalog, over 560 setlists from shows throughout its career, and over 200 photos chronicling KISS?s amazing concert history.

Although KISS stated that its 2001 "farewell" tour would be its last, the tour is ongoing and future performances are planned, topped by a spectacular television "Farewell Show." KISS Alive Forever is sure to be a devoted fan?s lasting chronicle of this extraordinary band?s complete concert career.
