About this product

Product Information

Founding KISS drummer Peter "Catman" Criss delivers a riveting and candid account of his incredible life in music, from the streets of Brooklyn to the social clubs of New York City to the ultimate heights of rock 'n roll success and excess. LEGENDARY founding KISS drummer Peter "Catman" Criss has lived an incredible life in music, from the streets of Brooklyn to the social clubs of New York City to the ultimate heights of rock 'n' roll success and excess. KISS formed in 1973 and broke new ground with their elaborate makeup, live theatrics, and powerful sound. The band emerged as one of the most iconic hard rock acts in music history. Peter Criss, the Catman, was the heartbeat of the group. From an elevated perch on his pyrotechnic drum riser, he had a unique vantage point on the greatest rock show of all time, with the KISS Army looking back at him night after night. Peter Criscuola had come a long way from the homemade drum set he pounded on nonstop as a kid growing up in Brooklyn in the fifties. He endured lean years, street violence, and the rollercoaster music scene of the sixties, but he always knew he'd make it. Makeup to Breakup is Peter Criss's eye-opening journey from the pledge to his ma that he'd one day play Madison Square Garden to doing just that. He conquered the rock world--composing and singing his band's all-time biggest hit, "Beth" (1976)--but he also faced the perils of stardom and his own mortality, including drug abuse, treatment in 1982, near-suicides, two broken marriages, and a hard-won battle with breast cancer. Criss opens up with a level of honesty and emotion previously unseen in any musician's memoir. Makeup to Breakup is the definitive and heartfelt account of one of rock's most iconic figures, and the importance of faith and family. Rock 'n' roll has been chronicled many times, but never quite like this.

Received the magazine as pictured and described! It was a bit delayed due to a bad winter storm in my area, however the seller was quick to communicate back with me when it hadn't arrived on time. They sent me the tracking number to keep an eye out for it and even offered to inquire into the package for me if it didn't arrive by a certain date. Overall a great experience by the seller :)

    A gift for a rocker!

    This actually was a gift for a friend who is a huge fan and has been looking for this book for a long time. It was so gratifying to be able to give it to her this year for Christmas! She was thrilled the men it touched her hands! It arrived earlier than predicted and was in good shape as described in the listing.

    THE ONLY CAT-MAN; nine lives and more! MUST READ and KEEP!

    The Cat-Man rules! I had just finished reading Ace Frehley's book and immediately followed it up with Peter's account and not only do they mirror each other in the shared stories they tell but Peter's journey was just as amazing and heart-wrenching! Bottom-line: We are lucky as fans and friends of the group KISS to have these guys still around today to share their lives with us and to tell stories that are so outrageous and over-the-top wild, they have to be true because you simply can't make this stuff up! I fully agree with Peter that NO ONE can ever sit in on his drum set and play the character of The Cat-Man. For all his hard work, blood, sweat, and tears, I thank Mr. Criscoula, his family, and Gigi! From the business side of things, Peter is the first to tell us all of his ...

    A classic book by the CATMAN of KISS!!!!

    I just finished reading this book. It was very easy reading by the one and only PETER CRISS of KISS!!! I enjoyed reading about his childhood experiences and his journey towards being the CATMAN! He adversities and reliliance to keep 'the faith' is very inspiring. Ths book shares his struggles with other members of the band and presents his perspective. I bought this item because I have a been a KISS fan since the 70's. Prior this purchase, l bought Gene Simmons and Ace Frehley's autobiography. I like this product because of it was easy reading, the pics were cool and most important. . it was signed by Peter Criss. Compared to other items. . it's a once in a lifetime item that would be enjoyed by all KISS fans.

    The most shocking bio I have ever read!

    First off, I was a massive Kiss fan and already have the Simmons and Frehley bios. I thought they were great reads and filled in a lot of the gaps of Kiss history I didn't know about, so I expected the same from this one. Peter Criss' book is easily the best of the three. It is the most honest, shocking, hard-to-put-down book I have ever read. While always reminding us how flawed he is he also tips the bucket on his former band-mates in such a brutal way you end up wondering if they will ever speak to him again. It is full of hard-core sex and drugs and all the massive highs and desperate lows of a man who was fighting a lot of demons (not just Simmons!). Love or hate Kiss, you should get this book.

    Great!

    Don't really know what happened to this,it must have been a victim of the devil woman to. I do remember that it was an interesting look at Peter Criss and all the stuff he went through.Poor guy was robbed TWO times. As was his compatriot Ace.
