New Kiss Related Book Released

If you were a teenager in Sweden during the 1980s – just as I was – then you have a strong relationship to the OKEJ magazine. In these days, obviously long before internet, magazines were the only way to get hold of information about your favourite artists. And if you were into hard rock then there wasn’t much choice over here besides the OKEJ magazine. As a Kiss fan it was a joy to read the magazine since almost every issue had some smaller or larger Kiss feature. The editor of this magazine was Anders Tengner. He is an old Kiss fan and over the years he has developed a close relationship to many of the bands he’s interviewed, and not least Kiss. His memoir book ”Access All Areas” has now been released. Perhaps memoir isn’t the correct word, it’s more a book with stories about some of the bands he’s met. There is one chapter for each of the bands and most interesting for us Kiss fans is obviously the Kiss chapter. This is consists of 69 pages and it’s filled with funny and interesting stories. Anders has met the band members many times and it’s very interesting to read about this. Ace’s first interview after he left the band (the first time) was made by Anders. This took place in Ace’s apartment in Manhattan in 1985. Anders also did an interview with Peter Criss in 1985 and almost the entire interview is published in the book. You can also find cool stories about video shoots with Kiss and much more.
I’m not going to say that this is the most well-written book I have read but it’s very interesting for any Kiss fan. The book is only available in Swedish but even if you can’t read Swedish it’s still a good buy. There’s also 16 exclusive Kiss photos published in the book.
