Well, considering the fact that I'm a huge Kiss fan, I was looking forward to writing a review on this release. But, it's not something I'm gonna praise just because I'm totally into the band. You're gonna get an honest write up here.

First of all, if you're a Kiss fan/collector, the title of this release will already tell you what you need to know about it. Since it's an unauthorized release, that means that the band had nothing to do with it and they had no say as to what was included here. So, what that means is that everything that featured on this release is already out there in circulation. We've seen it all before. But, for the average fan who's not into the whole bootleg scene, there's stuff on here that would be interesting for you to see.

This release is put together like a magazine and there's no real time line for what you're watching. It's a collection of interviews thrown together as a sort of bio of the band so to speak. Kind of a backstage look at the band at various times in their career. This release is interesting because the spotlight is on Peter Criss, by way of an old television interview and Vinnie Vincent at a Kiss convention. It's not all Gene and Paul this time around, let's put it that way. There's no musical recordings by Kiss featured on this release and the only other feature is a picture gallery which is set up as a slideshow, which I thought was rather cool.

Bottom line, this release is for the hardcore Kiss fan. I'm sure some of you already have the interviews that are featured on this program. But, the quality is probably a lot better on this DVD than on your bootleg video that you paid an arm and a leg for. So, I would suggest purchasing this release to upgrade your collection.
