Kiss isn’t exactly a band noted for its subtlety or panache—after all, this is the band that markets its own brand of coffins for fans—so it comes a little to no surprise that the band would release a gargantuan (3 feet tall, 2.5 inches wide, weighing 50 pounds) coffee table book of band photos. What does come as a surprise? It costs over four grand. Now that’s a lot, even for shameless whores like Kiss.
Yep, $4,250 to be exact. And what does one receive for spending over four grand on an oversized coffee table book? Kiss Monster, a collection of photos from Kiss’ long and varied history. That’s right—a collection of images you could find on the internet for the cost of a monthly wireless connection have been compiled for you inside of an obscenely expensive book.
But that’s not all. Only 1,000 copeis of the book with be made, and each of them will be signed by the band’s current (i.e.: not the classic) lineup. Further, the book will be released with 10 different cove formats, with each cover featuring a flag that “boasts a significant Kiss Army population (including Sweden, Norway, and Japan)” as well as a “custom message” written from the band.
In conclusion: it’s really, really stupid.
But hey, guess what, Kiss Monster is not only the largest rock ‘n roll book ever printed—it’s “hand-stitched by the same book binder that makes the Vatican’s tomes.” Which should ensure the wrath of God in 5…4…3…2…1…
