The "New York Times" bestseller is now available in paperback with a new, updated chapter by Gene Simmons. The author explains in his candid first-person book how readers can employ the principles that made KISS so wildly successful.
Exhibiting an "abiding faith in self" and an ability to think outside the traditional parameters of ethics, religion, rituals and social mores, rock legend and Kiss founding member Simmons (KISS and Make-Up) offers his no-holds-barred life philosophy. Presenting the book as "access to the American dream" of money and happiness and warning that what he says is only "food for thought" and that he'll be painting with wide strokes, Simmons recounts his rise from an immigrant boy who didn't speak English until his teens and paid for college buying and selling old comic books, to his current music, recording, acting and publishing successes. Narrated in a distinctive, deep voice and peppered with expletives and frequent interjections of the word "baby" for emphasis, Simmons touches on a range of topics, including investment advice, his brief stint as a teacher and behind-the-scenes Kiss business negotiations, which fans are especially sure to appreciate in audio format. Simmons's humor, perfectly suited in translation from prose, begins with his "salute" to modern women, who he contends are ultimately slaves to biology, and a funny explanation of why men can't be monogamous (because "women are from Mars; men have penis."). Simultaneous release with the New Millennium hardcover (Forecasts, May 19). (June) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

Sex Money Kiss
If you're a fan of Gene Simmons or KISS, I suggest you not read this review. It will probably make you mad, so you have been warned.
That said, I want to clarify why I wanted to read this book: I was in a rock band myself in the late 70s, so I am very interested in that world. I have read quite a few bios in that genre. KISS was not a band I liked or admired in any way, shape, or form - to me they were a very highly successful garage band. Even Gene admits most band members out there know nothing about music. (I'm not one of them, by the way.)
I also love biographies of nearly every kind, so I thought this one would fit the bill for a decent book. Boy, was I wrong. Gene Simmons is a vulgar creature. I won't even call him a man, because a real man has thoughts and feelings that extend beyond his wallet and penis. Gene cannot think of anything but his own sexual desires, his money, and bragging to the world how successful he is. He unabashedly admits his first love is money, money, and more money. Women are here to service him.
Gene spends most of the time boasting about how much money he has made and at what age he accumulated it. He thinks himself a good role model for other young men, telling them to save every penny, make other people pay for your things, and use women left and right for your pleasure. He thinks marriage is for suckers and believes that everyone will eventually get a divorce. He does not believe in God, and his lack of morals and values are quite evident throughout the book.
I listen to many of my books as I work on renovating my house. I took as much as I could until the fourth CD. When we got into "the perfect day for a man", which included a full day of sex acts with multiple women and lots of drinking, I had to turn it off. I couldn't take another minute of it.
I borrowed this book from the library and didn't give him a dime to line his pockets. I've never thought he was attractive in any way, and this book clinched the ugliness that is Gene Simmons inside and out.
I warned you.
