Kiss Alive Forever: The Complete Touring History

Rating:
Summary: Sets the standard for others to follow
Review: This book is essential for any KISS fan, plus anyone ever interested in the goings-on behind that band. Almost anyone will learn a ton of things about their various tours from 1973 through 2000. This is the type of book you pick up just to read something specific, and end up looking at it for an hour even if you have already read it straight through. I myself have only seen KISS twice, in 1996 and 2000, having been too young to see them back in the 1970s, but even then, like many, I have my favorite periods of the band, and each period's tours are given equal coverage (although 1983-1989 tends to be kind of a blur, with very similar itineraries). I still think the ultimate KISS book has yet to be written, although this one, CK Lendt's book, and Behind the Mask are the best so far.

Summary: KISS misses yet another opportunity......
Review: What a missed opportunity the members of KISS must be feeling now. I am sure that they had a chance to make this an official KISS book - but chose to discount the efforts to two enthusiastic fans simply wanting to document a band that they hold in such high regard. All the while, thinking of course that they could do it better. Only time will tell to see if "KISS" can produce a more thorough and well-documented history. The book is absolutely the "best collective history" of the band that I have read. The time and effort it took to research, check facts, compile and finally write this book is evident in the accuracy of the facts. The mere thank you and credits to people who assisted the authors in compiling the data - speaks to the accuracy itself. True KISS connoisseurs will recognize the value of the book - don't wait to add this book to your collection.
