Win A Copy Of Paul Stanley’s Memoir “Face The Music” {US 5/16} @PaulStanleyLive #ad #KISS

May 1, 2014 by Dawn McAlexander

Paul Stanley Face The Music: A Life Exposed

Paul Stanley just released his autobiography, Face The Music: A Life Exposed and we received a review copy and Jay is working on reading it right now. While we patiently await his review, we will see how many of you all would like to read this book, too. That’s right! One of you lucky readers and KISS fans will win a copy as well.

Paul Stanley’s Face The Music: A Life Exposed

Face The Music tells the story, not only of Paul Stanley’s rise to fame, but also of his childhood dealing with adversity due to a physical deformity. I am looking forward to reading this book after Jay is done with it as I admire his ability to be so successful in music when he had a problem with one of his ears. That particular problem could have been really detrimental to his career. My husband’s favorite band is KISS and I have to admit, I have a lot of respect for Paul Stanley.

Face The Music: The Reviews Are In

Face The Music is getting rave reviews all over the rock world:

“Paul Stanley proves himself as an artist in music and on canvas and now with a great book.”
—JIMMY PAGE

“Both honest and inspirational. Amazing tales from one of rock’s great frontmen.”
—SIR ELTON JOHN

“Paul is a great man who has achieved great things. From the Popcorn Club all the way to the Hall of Fame, his story is inspiring and motivating for anyone who dreams big.”
—DAVE GROHL

    I remember my first Halloween after we had moved from Arcadia to Glendora, CA. The kids on the street all painted their faces to look like Kiss. I had never heard of them until that moment.

      Same hear! We have seen KISS once and have tickets to see them again this summer. They are my husband’s favorite band so we are pretty stoked!

  27. Jennifer says

    May 1, 2014 at 11:05 pm

    I’m actually not a KISS fan, but I’d really like to read this book. I enjoy celebrity autobiographies about how they became popular, dealt with the popularity, and how they cope now that they aren’t in the lime light (as much). And I LOVE hearing about all the crazy stuff that happened to them when they where in the height of their popularity!

  28. Pam says

    May 1, 2014 at 11:22 pm

    This is awesome. I didn’t know that he had released his memoir!

  29. Amber Edwards says

    May 1, 2014 at 11:28 pm

    That is quite amazing how successful he was in music with an ear problem. Normally you don’t see those two coinciding.

    Very interesting to say the least….

    While I enjoy autobiographies, the hubby and I are KISS fans; especially the hubby who has been a fan since childhood. In 1996, we saw them in concert four times. It amazing what long careers they’ve had in music and they always put on a good show.

    • Dawn McAlexander says

      May 9, 2014 at 10:12 am

      Four times in one year? That is pretty cool! They are Jay’s favorite band and he never saw them until he married me. We have been once, now, and will be going back to see them again this summer. 😉

      • Cheryl Malandrinos says

        May 9, 2014 at 11:08 am

        My hubby went to see them as a kid, too. His father used to take him; but one year, his father was away so his mom took him. It was the no makeup years. No foul language before, but the first words at that concert included the F-bomb. It’s good that they dropped that now the makeup is back on.

  38. Ann Fantom says

    May 6, 2014 at 9:07 pm

    Yes, I’m a Kiss fan.

    My favorite Kiss song is Rock and Roll All Nite.

    I am sure he went through some wild things in his career!!! I was kind of too young for Kiss but when I hear them come on the radio now, I will listen to it and not change the channel. LOL

    May 14, 2014 at 12:23 pm

    May 14, 2014 at 1:11 pm

    I love biographies/memoirs…and I always liked Kiss. They were popular when I was in junior high school. I even like their slow song, Beth, although I prefer their more rockin’ songs more!

  50. Rita Spratlen says

    May 14, 2014 at 6:11 pm

    My husband loves Kiss and I like listening to all of their songs. Very interesting character and lots of great sound effects during the shows!

    I enjoyed the clip you had here with him. I have loved him and KISS since I was in my teens. It sounded like he was coming from the heart so I bet the book is too. Sounds like a good read.

  56. Rhonda Martin says

    May 22, 2014 at 9:18 am

    I grew up with KISS and love Paul. It wasn’t my favorite band but it it in my top 10. It was my best friends favorite band so I listened to their music every day. I still listen to them today and Beth from their Destroyer album is my favorite. I would love to read Pauls Face the Music. I didn’t realize it was even out. Thanks for sharing this info.

  57. Birdiebee says

    May 22, 2014 at 7:46 pm

    This would sure be an interesting read. When I was a teenager, I used to listed to KISS (which must really date me).
