I am not a big fan of Ace's. I think he is an horrible singer, and a passable guitar player. This said, I really enjoyed reading his book. He comes across as a good guy, who realizes he made mistakes and moves forward with his life. He seems to be in a good place. There is a bit of unveiling regarding the inner-working relationship in KISS, but not too much. Still a good read overall.http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922584#msg-922584Thu, 23 May 2013 10:07:31 +1000 Phorum 5.2.16 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922801#msg-922801 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922801#msg-922801
Waste of talent? I am not sure Ace and Peter were really talented to start with. They were lucky and fucked up. When you read his book, it seems that Ace's IQ put him in the "genius" category. Well, he may have the brain but some connections got lost along the way! He doesn't come across as really intelligent.]]> Laurent NoticeboardThu, 13 Dec 2012 23:04:08 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922800#msg-922800 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922800#msg-922800 Laurent NoticeboardThu, 13 Dec 2012 23:00:48 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922782#msg-922782 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922782#msg-922782 Scott Watson NoticeboardThu, 13 Dec 2012 21:07:31 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922652#msg-922652 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922652#msg-922652 Addyeddy NoticeboardThu, 13 Dec 2012 04:51:28 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922637#msg-922637 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922637#msg-922637
Peter's book is the most bitter autobiography I've ever read & a lot of the stories seem to be cribbed almost word for word from other Kiss related books.

I thought Gene's book was good although obviously rich in the delusion we've become accustomed to.

Paul's autobiography, the one he repeatedly said he would never write, will be coming out next year. As he's the most protective of his own privacy I can't imagine him revealing too much about himself. It feels like it will be released purely to rebuff the claims of the other three.]]> RAB NoticeboardThu, 13 Dec 2012 02:58:24 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922607#msg-922607 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922607#msg-922607-------------------------------------------------------

Probably the better of the two (I don't count Gene Simmons' book...cos it's shite !! :) )]]> gary191265 NoticeboardThu, 13 Dec 2012 00:18:14 +1100 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922605#msg-922605 http://www.melodicrock.com/phorum52/read.php?1,922584,922605#msg-922605
