KISS frontman PAUL STANLEY will release his memoir, Face The Music: A Life Exposed on April 8th. A quote from the book has been released and it deals when the band decided to wear makeup:

“We never sat down and articulated the ‘why’ behind the makeup. We had no real understanding of why. We had just wanted to go further than others had, to become a band the likes of which we ourselves had never seen.”
