Originally published in 1978 as The Beach Boys and the California
Myth, this groundbreaking study was both the first full-length book
on the band and the first to recognize Brian Wilson as one of the
most significant and influential artists of the 20th century.
Covering the turbulent family strife and internal conflicts as well
as giving proper attention to the remarkable music, the book was an
instant classic. An intimate look at Brian's rollercoaster of a
life and career, it's told through the eyes of those who were there
during Wilson's most legendary productions including Pet Sounds and
Good Vibrations. Revised and updated, God Only Knows covers the
decades since the 1985 edition, including Brian's first acclaimed
solo album, his startling return to live performing, the landmark
Pet Sounds tour, the "All-Star Tribute to Brian Wilson" (which Leaf
wrote and produced) and the triumphant and miraculous Brian Wilson
Presents SMiLE world premiere in London. Filled with surprising
revelations, insight and behind-the-scenes detail, this
indispensable book written by renowned Brian Wilson expert David
Leaf also features forewords by Jimmy Webb, the Bee Gees' Barry
Gibb and Melinda Wilson, Brian's wife.
Now everything is finally revealed about one of rock music's most
outrageous and enduring phenomena. In this definitive, official
authorized biography, authors David Leaf and Ken Sharp were given
full, unprecedented access to Kiss and their inner circle. Hear the
true, uncensored stories from Gene Simmons, the fire-breathing
Demon; Paul Stanley, the acrobatic Starchild; Ace Frehley, the
axe-slinging Spaceman; and Peter Criss, the levitating Catman
drummer. Chronicling the group's amazing story, this one-of-a-kind
book also offers interviews with some of the biggest stars in rock
music, including Pete Townshend, Alice Cooper, Ted Nugent, Ozzy
Osbourne, and many others. The only book that truly captures the
inimitable and exuberant spirit of the fiery foursome who gave
America its second national anthem, "Rock and Roll All Nite," Kiss:
Behind the Mask is a must-have for the band's legion of Kiss Army
acolytes. * Dozens of never-before-seen photos * The band's story,
told in their own words * Exclusive album-by-album, song-by-song
commentary * In unique interviews, today's rock superstars tell why
they love Kiss.
