  • SPREAD the WORD KISS Frontman Paul Stanley Has Just Released His
    SPREAD THE WORD KISS frontman Paul Stanley has just released his memoir, Face the Music: A Life Exposed, and we invite you to help us spread the word about this exciting book! Below, we’ve supplied some ready-to-post content that you can share with your social media communities, blog readers, and/or email lists, including the book description and a link to download the cover image. PRAISE “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 ABOUT In Face the Music, Paul Stanley—the co-founder and famous “Starchild” frontman of KISS—reveals for the first time the incredible highs and equally incredible lows in his life both inside and outside the band. Face the Music is the shocking, funny, smart, inspirational story of one of rock’s most enduring icons and the group he helped create, define, and immortalize. Stanley mixes compelling personal revelations and gripping, gritty war stories that will surprise even the most steadfast member of the KISS Army. He takes us back to his childhood in the 1950s and ’60s, a traumatic time made more painful thanks to a physical deformity. Born with a condition called microtia, he grew up partially deaf with only one ear.

  • Ten Little Title Tunes – Index INDEX
    856 AABA – advert (Seven-Up) Ten Little Title Tunes – Index INDEX Explanations and tips. Apart from the usual listing of names (people, musical works, films, TV pro- grammes, etc.), of topics discussed, and of terms presented in the book, this index also includes many of the connotations provided by respondents (e.g. SAD, ‘ALWAYS HAS BEEN’), categories of such connotation (e.g. SAD, STASIS) and constructional descriptors of music linked to such categories (see, for example, under CHORD, MODES, SOUND PROCESSING, TEMPO). Readers can therefore check our discussion of musical semiosis in terms of both signfier and signified. Since this index would have swelled to even more unwieldy proportions if we had lumped all individual connotations (VVAs) under their respective taxonomic heading, readers wishing to check our discussion of a particular connotation or response subcategory are advised to consult appendices 3 and 4 for related concepts. To check which particular VVA occurred in conjunction with which tune, see appendix 3. To check our taxonomy of responses, see appendix 4. Political incorrectness. Several categories produced in the indexing process come across as politically in- correct in the extreme (see, for example, MEN, MENTAL DISORDER, WOMEN). Such categorisation in no way rep- resents the views of either author. It does, however, we would hope, reflect the true nature of the implicit, musicogenic, categorisation discussed and documented in this book (see last chapter for explanation). Waivers. The authors do not guarantee that this index: [1] includes every single page reference to every con- cept listed below, nor every single concept occurring in the book; [2] provides 100% accuracy of page refer- encing, although a four-hour random check did produce satisfactory results.

  • Gene Simmons Vault
    Gene Simmons Rock Icon, Merchandising Mogul, Entrepreneur, Philanthropist Biography Gene Simmons, international rock legend and co-founder of KISS, America’s #1 gold record award- winning group of all time in all categories (RIAA), is celebrating his 50th anniversary in rock & roll. Simmons, a renowned entrepreneur extraordinaire, has achieved successes that reach far beyond his music career, extending into television, film, merchandising, and numerous other business ventures. Celebrating 50 Years as a Rock Icon To celebrate his five notorious decades in rock, Simmons has launched his most ardent project to date - Gene Simmons: The Vault Experience. The Vault Experience takes fans on an unforgettable journey through Simmons’ 50-year métier. It begins with the personal delivery of a numbered, limited-edition, 17” x 25” 38-pound VAULT, during Simmons’ VAULT World Tour, set to take place January 2018 through December 2018. The “Vault” includes: • 150 never-before-released songs written and performed by Simmons, and featuring notable rock and roll artists, including members of KISS past and present, packaged in a massive 12” x 12” x 6” leather-bound commemorative book containing dozens of never-before-seen images of Simmons throughout his 50-year career. These unreleased songs are exclusive to THE VAULT and will not be available in other physical or digital configurations • Limited-edition collectibles including a Gene Simmons non- makeup action figure and an “In Gene We Trust” oversized medallion • A one-of-a-kind, hand-selected original piece of memorabilia from Gene’s personal collection This project is more than a traditional anniversary music compilation or boxed set; it is the ultimate fan experience, with Simmons having the opportunity to meet one-on-one with fans around the world in appreciation of their years of support.
