Seldom do bands come along that leave such an indelible mark on popular culture. During the 1970s KISS redefined what it meant to 'entertain' people with their bombastic live performances and larger than life personalities. And the merchandising... During the 1980s the band fought for survival as internal strife and external competition forced an attempt to reinvent themselves. The early 1990s had seen KISS make one final gesture to be a relevant musical force, but this did not translate into the demanded success. Instead the band started looking to the past and played their final 'Ace' card. Volume 3, 'Roar of Greasepaint' picks up the history as they attempted to record a Reunion studio album, and the disjointed soap-opera that followed and continues. The 'KISS Album Focus' is an objective look at the history of 'the hottest band in the world' that destroys some KISS urban legends and confirms others.

This review is from: The Kiss Album Focus,: Roar of Grease Paint, 1997-2006 (Volume 3) (Paperback)
Let me start by saying I really enjoy the book. It's definitely for fans looking for more detailed accounts of certain events. There is a LOT of stuff that even the most diehard's will not have known. That being said, the presentation of the material is awful. There are countless misspellings and even repeated sentences. It really makes it a difficult read. Too bad because the content is great.

This review is from: The Kiss Album Focus,: Roar of Grease Paint, 1997-2006 (Volume 3) (Paperback)
Sometimes this book has too much info and detail that makes it hard to read. It reads like a term paper sometimes. But facts are facts; and all Kiss fans will learn something new.
