Original bestselling biography of the original band by former Creem editor and "World's Leading Authority on the Rock Group Kiss" Robert Duncan. Revealing encounters with Gene, Paul, Peter and Ace. Heroic tales of the hungry years. Handwriting analysis. Even comedy. Said a topknot-scratching Gene: "Robert really worked the strange stuff." First published in 1978, this unauthorized bio sold 400,000 copies around the world. Out-of-print for 25 years, and now a collectible, Robert Duncan's KISS is reissued here, with a new intro by the author, in print and, for the first time, e-book.

In Ten Year Run, Todd Baker unabashedly shared his journey from couch potato to Olympic torchbearer and marathon finisher. Now, he confesses his love for the world's scariest and loudest music: Heavy Metal. Baker wears a tie by day and a Slayer t-shirt by night and has been a dedicated metal head for 35 years. And he's a really nice - and funny - guy. In Metal Fatigue, Baker humorously describes his apprenticeship in the heavy metal trade to explain how such a decent person can fall in love with such wicked music. From listening to Black Sabbath for the first time to interviewing intergalactic warlords as a college radio DJ to failing to properly execute a stage dive, Baker shares stories of his life in metal music and how he survived it (mostly) unscathed. Metal Fatigue is a wry and witty memoir that will charm metal heads and those who just don't get it. And he offers encouragement for any confused parent of a kid who loves heavy metal.
