This book is a collective effort on the authors? part to remember
KISS, one of the most important hard-rock bands of the 1970s and
1980s. Influenced by the glam-rock movement which preceded its
rise, arguably KISS was the first major act in rock music history
to present rock music as Entertainment Product firstly and music
only secondarily. We discuss the original, democratic concept of
the Fab Four - Gene, Paul, Ace, and Peter - as well as Gene
Simmons? and Paul Stanley's subsequent American Dream ideology. We
go on to analyse the current version of the band in the light of
the original line-up and appearance. We find that the KISS fan base
is divided with some fans accepting Simmons? current view that the
four personas can be utilized by anyone chosen by the band's
leadership; a second group which tries to correct the alleged
historical injustices committed against Frehley and Criss; and a
third group which is cynical about the current version of KISS but
finds it fruitless to rehash old debates.
