Publisher Description
The New York Times bestselling author and front man and rhythm guitarist of KISS grants fans an all-access backstage pass to his personal life and shows them how to pursue a rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle of their own, offering hard-won advice from a music legend.
In this follow-up to his popular bestseller Face the Music, the Starchild takes us behind the scenes, revealing what he’s learned from a lifetime as the driving force of KISS, and how he brings his unique sensibility not only to his music career but to every area of his life—from business to parenting to health and happiness.
Backstage Pass takes you beyond the makeup as Paul shares fascinating details about his life—his fitness routine, philosophy, business principles, how he maintains his inspiration, passion, and joy after nearly 50 years of mega success including selling out tours, 100 million albums sold and an art career that has amassed over 10 million dollars in sales.
Divulging more true stories of the Rock & Roll Hall of Famer’s relationships, hardships, and pivotal moments, it offers surprising lessons on the discipline and hard work that have made him one of the healthiest and most successful rock ‘n’ roll icons in history.
This is the book for fans who love living large, but also want to take control and move ahead in everyday life. Paul shows you how you can rock ‘n’ roll all night and party every day—without missing a beat.
Customer Reviews
Loved it - thank you for sharing and insight
Paul has been the most interesting and normal guy in the crazy world of KISS. My first concert back in 1977. Enjoyed the stories and insights Paul shares in Backstage Pass. Buy it if you are a fan or not. It’s great either way!
Audio book isn’t read by the author
I only previewed the audiobook. When you have a voice that is as recognizable as Paul Stanley, it’s probably a good idea to record your own audio for your project. The 1-star rating isn’t for the subject matter or the stories, but rather for the out of work actor trying to get into character and be Paul Stanley..... it didn’t work for me. I’m sure the book is good, but this is an “audiobook” review and the presentation & production doesn’t do anything for me. Maybe I’ll change my rating if Paul decides to read it.
why did he narrate his own book?
I remember telling people one of the things that made Gene and Paul so much more succesful was them putting in the time to narrate their own books unlike Ace and Peter, yet here we are, this one he just fobbed it off on someone else.
