Kiss: X-treme Close-Up

I recently purchased this DVD for my collection to replace my worn-out VHS tape and I have to say from a documentary point of view this is the best video about the band released so far, before or since. Founding members Gene "Demon" Simmons (bassist/vocalist) and Paul "Rockstar" Stanley (rhythm guitarist/vocalist) give their 2 cents about the history of KISS, chronicling their early days in Wicked Lester up to their 1992 Revenge Tour. Lots of interesting inside stories are confirmed by various band members, in between music videos, along with plenty of archived interviews from over the last 20 years that provide fascinating tidbits detailing the history of the band's global success. Very entertaining to watch overall and if you are a KISS fan then its a must-have for your DVD collection. (The DVD version pairs with the "KISS Konfidential" concert movie as a bonus!) Overall it's well put-together compared to the earlier, immaturely made "KISS-Exposed".
