    Default Encyclopedia of KISS: Music, Personnel, Events and Related Subjects

    Hey Everyone,

    Since many video game fans are also KISS fans, I thought I'd share some info on my new book, Encyclopedia of KISS: Music, Personnel, Events and Related Subjects.

    The press release is below, and you can read several pages of the book on Amazon by clicking on the cover. THANKS FOR READING!

    PRESS RELEASE FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

    Pop culture expert Brett Weiss authors world’s first KISS encyclopedia

    June 6, 2016

    McFarland Publishers has released a new book, Encyclopedia of KISS: Music, Personnel, Events and Related Subjects. Written by pop culture authority Brett Weiss, it is the WORLD’S FIRST encyclopedia on the self-proclaimed "Hottest Band in the World."

    Encyclopedia of KISS is a comprehensive reference guide to virtually everything in the KISS universe, featuring detailed information on the band’s songs, albums, games, toys, tours, television and movie appearances, family members, girlfriends, collectibles, comic books, solo work and much more, including replacement members Eric Carr, Vinnie Vincent, Bruce Kulick, Mark St. John, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer.

    KISS is one of the most popular groups in the history of rock, having sold more than 100 million albums during their more than 40-year reign. With more gold albums than any other American band, they were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2014. KISS influenced a generation of musicians, from Garth Brooks and Motley Crue to Nirvana and the Red Hot Chili Peppers.

    The original leather-clad, makeup-wearing line-up--Ace "Spaceman" Frehley, Gene "Demon" Simmons, Paul "Starchild" Stanley and Peter "Catman" Criss--and their classic hits "Beth" and "Rock and Roll All Nite" are forever etched in pop culture consciousness.

    Author Brett Weiss is available for interviews:
