Gene Simmons

From the mind of the legendary Gene Simmons comes an action epic flavored with fetish fantasy! Dominique Stern is used to making people hurt-but they always ask for it first. When one of her sessions is interrupted by mysterious agents who seem to have hyper-strength, Dom's narrow escape leads her down the rabbit hole of a global conspiracy. Scripts by Holly Interlandi (Cradle of Filth) and art by S L Gallant & Maria Keane (G. I. Joe: A Real American Hero).

Frank Bello, bassist with the legendary New York thrash metal band Anthrax since 1984, has sold over ten million albums, travelled the globe more times than he cares to count, and enthralled audiences from the world’s biggest stages. His long-awaited memoir would be a gripping read even if its pages only contained stories about his life as a recording and touring musician. While those stories are indeed included—and will blow your mind—Bello also focuses on deeper subjects in Fathers, Brothers, and Sons. Once you’ve heard his life story, you’ll understand why. Born into a family of five, Frank grew up in difficult circumstances. His father abandoned his wife and children, and Frank’s mother moved heaven and earth to keep them fed and educated. Left with no male role model, Frank found inspiration in heavy metal bass players, following their example and forging a career with Anthrax from his early teens—first as a roadie, and then as the group’s bass player. International stardom came Frank’s way by the mid-to-late 1980s, when he was still in his early twenties, but tragedy struck in 1996 when his brother Anthony was murdered in New York. Although the case went to trial, the suspected killer was released without charge after a witness, intimidated by violent elements, withdrew his testimony. Two decades later, Frank is a father himself to a young son. Like many men who grew up without the guidance of a dad, he asks himself important questions about the meaning of fatherhood and how to do the job well. This is the wisdom which Fathers, Brothers, and Sons offers readers. Despite the emotive nature of these topics, Fathers, Brothers, and Sons is a funny, entertaining read. A man with a keen sense of humor and the perspective to know how surreal his story has been, Frank doesn’t preach or seek sympathy in his book. Instead, he simply passes on the wisdom gained from a lifetime of turbulence, paying tribute to his loved ones in a way that will resonate with us all.

YOU DESERVE TO HAVE POWER. IT IS YOURS FOR THE TAKING. GENE SIMMONS IS HERE TO UNLOCK THE DOORS TO THE TEMPLE. Gene Simmons, KISS front-man, multi-hyphenate entrepreneur, and master of self-invention, shares his philosophy on power--how to attain it, how to keep it, and how to harness it as a driving force in business and in life. As co-founder of KISS, America's #1 gold record-award-winning group of all time, Simmons knows the thrill and seduction of power firsthand. But gold records alone don't equal power. The decisions you make once you attain a certain level of success are what separate the pretenders from the pantheon. Inspired by Niccolo Machiavelli's The Prince, Simmons offers his unique take on the dynamics of power in every realm of life, from the bedroom to the boardroom, to the world of rock, celebrity, and social media, to politics. With one-of-a-kind anecdotes from his life and career, as well as stories from historical and contemporary masters of power, including Winston Churchill, Napoleon Bonaparte, Warren Buffett, Michael Jordon, Oprah, and Elon Musk, Simmons crafts a persuasive and provocative theory on how the pursuit of power drives civilization and defines our lives. The rules of power are changing in today's fast-paced, hyper-connected world in a way that Machiavelli never could have imagined, and we all need to learn to adapt. Simmons tells listeners: Ignore the negatives. Be unrelenting. Rise above the rest. You are the architect of your success.

I Inget att förlora berättas för första gången om de första så viktiga åren i det legendariska rockbandet Kiss historia, en period som når sin kulmen i och med släppet av deras klassiska album Alive! 1975 och hitsingeln Rock and Roll All Nite , en låt som nästan fyra decennier senare fortfarande är en av deras mest populära. Boken baseras på mer än tvåhundra intervjuer med såväl bandmed¬lemmarna själva som med producenter, managers, roddare, klubbägare, scen- och kostymdesigners och en mängd andra som var med i kretsen kring bandet och dessutom många av de artister som själva var verksamma vid den här tiden och turnerade och delade scen med Kiss. Läsaren tas med på en resa till en tid då ett av rockhistoriens största band tog form och får följa alla de motgångar och succéer som till sist gjorde dem till superstjärnor. Det är ett oemotståndligt porträtt av ett band på uppgång och av den musikscen som de skulle komma att förändra för all framtid. Ken Sharp har skrivit ett flertal böcker, bland annat om John Lennon, Elvis och Kiss. Han är bosatt i Los Angeles. Paul Stanley och Gene Simmons bildade Kiss i början av 70-talet. Sedan dess har bandet sålt mer än 80 miljoner album och gett mer än två tusen konserter över hela världen.

Me, Inc. features a black simulated-leather cover with gold foil stamping and a black ribbon bookmark. The fact that KISS is one of the most successful rock bands in the world is no accident. From the beginning Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley had a clear-cut vision of what they wanted to do and how they wanted to operate KISS as a business well before they ever first took the stage. Since deciding with Paul to manage the band themselves, Simmons has proved himself to be a formidable businessman, having sold over 100 million CDs and DVDs worldwide, overseen over 3,000 licensed merchandise items, and starred in the longest running celebrity reality show to date. More impressive is that he handles all of his business ventures on his own-no personal assistant, few handlers, and as little red tape as possible. In Me, Inc., Simmons shares a lifetime of field-tested and hard-won business advice that will provide readers with the tools needed to build a solid business strategy, harness the countless tools available in the digital age, network like hell, and be the architect for the business entity that is you. Inspired by The Art of War, the book dispenses Simmons' in-depth insights via thirteen specific principles for success based on his own experience, triumphs, and instructional failures in business-from finding the confidence within yourself that's necessary to get started, to surrounding yourself with the right people to partner with and learn from, to knowing when to pull the plug and when to double-down. These thirteen principles are a skeleton key into a world of success, freedom, peace of mind and, most importantly, financial success.

An indelible and irresistible portrait of the crucial formative years of the legendary rock band KISS and the music scene they changed forever-culminating with the groundbreaking success of their classic 1975 album Alive! and the smash single "Rock and Roll All Nite" Including original interviews with: Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, Peter Criss, Bob Seger, Alice Cooper, and Ted Nugent, as well as members of Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, Rush, Slade, Blue Oyster Cult, Mott the Hoople, Journey, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Raspberries, the James Gang, the New York Dolls, Iggy & the Stooges, the Ramones, Suzi Quatro, Argent, and Uriah Heep.

We're making this much too difficult. Somewhere along the way, we got the strange idea that it is really difficult to talk with God. How did that happen? How did something so easy, so normal, so natural, get so screwed up? We poor, misguided humans have become so entrenched, so enamored with our self-imposed rules and traditions that we have damn near lost our ability to communicate with the single entity that is responsible for our very existence. Does that make a lick of sense to anyone? Wouldn't it be really nice to be able to just relax and BS with God -- no matter who we are or what we've done? Wouldn't it be great to be able to really talk with him and his helpers -- and know that they'll be doing things that can actually help us and make our lives easier? Learn about some of the techniques you can use to do exactly that. Find out how cool God really is!

In slightly over 50 pages, Gene reveals some of the basic rules of Life that, if put to use, will make a dramatic difference in how you view life - and in your approach to making those improvements you'd like to make.
