Pags Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 Thanks, treeduck. An interesting read. default/smile.pngDefinitely! I was bummed when it ended...Same here. I wanted to keep reading. I ordered the book from my local Library, and it arrived the other day. I'm on Chapter 4 now. I liked the first few chapters, reading about his early life in the streets of Brooklyn. I loved it because it's so similar to how much of my family grew up there as well. But the good stuff is just starting up now. Spoiler alert... he meets Gene, Paul, and Ace!

Shreddy Lee Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks to this article, here's a few more excerpts for you guys: http://www.uproxx.com/webculture/2012/10/jon-wurster-has-been-tweeting-excerpts-from-kiss-drumer-autobiography-and-its-inspiring/Â "Hey ma, you ever give dad head?""Ace wasn't lazy, however, when it came to beating his meat.""Paul loved to doodle. And he drew the best cocks in the universe.""I'd get a huge boner and go over to Gene as he was applying his makeup and lay my boner on his shoulder.""I guess I had the most orgies with Ace."

Well written? I suppose well written in this case is the book sounding like Peter is telling the tale like he's here talking to you. That's what I got from the excerpt and that's all you really need, you don't need a literary masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Treeduck said and I agree... the book was written like you were sitting down with him just bullshitting and he was telling you a story about himself. And some of the stories he has to tell are kind of wild, and very interesting in how he describes the kind of people his band-mates were. I read the book in just a few days, and it held my interest all the way through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably the most funny aspect is that he is very close to my father's age and my dad it makes me laugh to think of him with those guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 I just finished reading this book. It was a pretty good read, but anyone who is invested in thinking that the guys in Rush were always good boys should skip the part about them!

I can't picture Alex acting that way. He was young, but that is no excuse to treat women that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thunder Bay Rush Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Remember, that was a LONG time ago. Different times, different people (to a point.)Â Plus, this is what Peter Criss says... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeddysMullet Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 Hey, no one is perfect, and everyone does stupid things when they're young. That's not an excuse, it's a fact. Sure it was jarring to think of the guys in Rush acting that way, but I would rather appreciate human beings and understand that they come with flaws than idolise fantasies of perfection that could never exist in the real world.
