KISS AND MAKE‐UP―ジーン・シモンズ自伝 (Tankobon Softcover)

The makeup and costumes are such a huge part of KISS's identity, but I wonder if Simmons saw them as more than just visuals. Did this choice shape their entire career?

The book hints at internal conflicts beneath the surface, and I kept wondering how much of that was carefully managed versus genuine. How do fans reconcile the glam with the real?

As an autobiography, I’m curious whether the narrative leans more heavily on Simmons' point of view or if other band members' stories are equally represented. Did this influence the storytelling?
