Synopsis
The official history of the outrageous 1970s and '80s rock band Kiss, David Leaf's KISS: BEHIND THE MASK, is really three books in one. The first part collects revealing, previously unpublished biographical interviews with the band's original four members, Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley, and Peter Criss, done by the author in the early 1980s. Simmons in particular reveals perhaps more about his childhood background in Israel than in many similar pieces, including his own autobiography: his stories of arriving in New York at the age of 10 with no knowledge of English are particularly atmospheric. A second section features illuminating interviews both with the band, who candidly discuss their often combative interpersonal relationships as well as the seamier practices of the music business, like payola; musical contemporaries like Ozzy Osbourne and Ted Nugent also contribute. Finally, in-depth analysis of Kiss albums like DRESSED TO KILL and DESTROYER, featuring informed commentary from many music industry personalities on the band's songwriting techniques and the albums' production values, rounds out a revealing chronicle of Kiss's two-decade career.
