Face the Music: A Life Exposed Audiobook (Free)

NEW YORK TIMES and INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLER

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. Encounter the Music is the shocking, funny, wise, inspirational story of one of rock’s most enduring icons as well as the group he helped create, define, and immortalize.

Stanley mixes compelling personal revelations and gripping, gritty war stories that about Encounter the Music: A Life Exposed will surprise even the most steadfast person in the KISS Army. He will take us back to his youth in the 1950s and ’60s, a distressing time made more painful because of a physical deformity. Born having a condition known as microtia, he was raised partly deaf, with only 1 ear canal. But this instilled in him an inner drive to succeed in the most unlikely of pursuits: music.

With never-before-seen photos and images throughout, Stanley’s memoir is a fully realized and unflinching family portrait of a rock star, a chronicle of the stories behind the famous anthems, the countless brawls and betrayals, and all the drama and pyrotechnics on / off the stage. Organic and confessional, Stanley gives candid insights into his personal human relationships, as well as the turbulent dynamics with his bandmates within the last four decades. No one comes out unscathed-including Stanley himself.

“People say I used to be brave to create such a revealing reserve, but We wrote it because I needed to personally reflect on my own life. I know everyone will see themselves somewhere with this book, and where my tale might take them is why I’m sharing it.” -Paul Stanley
