Take It Off - Greg Prato - ‘This was a statement: We’re on our way back. It signaled to the industry that this band that you thought was over and done ... might not be.’ Eddie Trunk (Trunk Nation host) ‘There’s just something about those albums they released from 1983 to 1997 that resonates with me more than their other music.’ Chris Jericho (Fozzy) There is a common misconception about KISS, one of the greatest hard-rock/heavy metal-bands of all time: that their ‘non-makeup’ era of 1983–96 is not as enduring as the period when they rocked stages as the Starchild, the Demon, the Spaceman, and the Cat. This is untrue. In fact, this period helped resuscitate KISS’s career, as they re-established themselves in arenas, on the charts, and via MTV, and yielded some of their most popular songs—including ‘Lick It Up,’ ‘Heaven’s On Fire,’ ‘Tears Are Falling,’ ‘Crazy Crazy Nights,’ ‘Hide Your Heart,’ ‘Forever,’ ‘Unholy,’ and more, many of which consistently found their way into the band’s setlists. While the majority of KISS books are focused on the iconic makeup era, the non-makeup years are ripe to be explored in book form, and Take It Off does just that, zeroing in on the twelve albums KISS issued during this period—including such gold- and platinum-certified hits as Lick It Up , Animalize , Crazy Nights , Revenge , and Alive III —as well as the resulting tours, videos, and other escapades. Take It Off draws on all-new interviews with KISS experts and associates, including the band’s lead guitarist throughout most of this period, Bruce Kulick, plus Crazy Nights producer Ron Nevison and video director Paul Rachman (‘Unholy’/‘I Just Wanna’/‘Domino’). Among the other contributors are Charlie Benante (Anthrax), K.K. Downing (ex-Judas Priest), Derek Sherinan (ex-Dream Theater), and rock music experts Eddie Trunk, Katherine Turman, and Lonn Friend. The book also includes a foreword by Fozzy frontman Chris Jericho and an afterword by acclaimed producer Andreas Carlsson, as well as rare photographs and memorabilia from the period. Now is the time to get Truly Unmasked!
