Released in April 2014, Face The Music: A Life Exposed debuted at No. 2 on The New York Times’ Best Sellers list for Print Hardcover Non-Fiction. On top of that, Face The Music debuted on the Times’ Combined Print and E-Book best seller list and E-Book best sellers list at No. 3 and No. 13, respectively.
In the Face The Music, Stanley talked frankly about his early struggles with hearing — he was born with Level 3 Microtia and is deaf in his right ear. Microtia is a congenital deformity of the cartilage of the outer ear that can affect normal hearing.
Sounds interesting, but I already know how to Rock And Roll All Nite, AND party every day! Thanks, uncle Pauly! 😉
A glass of red (in my KISS wine glass) on the patio sounds good right about now, cheers! 🙂
Will the book include the Paul Stanley workout from Kiss Exposed? 🙂
Paul’s first book was enjoyable but at times too sanctimonious to take some things at face value.
I expect this book to be enjoyable too with a number of lessons learned but also with a lot of fluff.
Don’t give a rats ass what Rocco DiSpirito dish he cooks up for the book unless its Lip Sync ala Vodka
face the music was ok , not the great book he claimed it to be , I found it mean spirited , although he did look inward talking about his issues and the bullying he endured and gave the fans a look at what shaped his personality – I cant imagine this book being much better –
Yeah, I think I’ll pass! What a pretentious diva this guy has become. I used to idolize him. What was I thinking?
