PAUL STANLEY Has No Plans For Tell-All Autobiography

April 13, 2007

Australia's TheAge.com.au reports: Fans hoping for an insight into the rock'n'roll lifestyle of charismatic KISS guitarist Paul Stanley shouldn't hold out hope of hearing it from the horse's mouth.

Nothing, Stanley says, turns him off more than celebrities who release tell-all autobiographies.

Fellow KISS band mate Gene Simmons penned the ultimate backstage pass for fans in a book laced with details of his sex, drugs and rock'n'roll lifestyle.

But his sidekick is adamant he won't be setting tongues wagging with his own expose.

The 55-year-old rocker, who is in Australia on his first solo tour outside of America and to promote his second solo album, "Live to Win", believes such novels are egotistical.

"The autobiography is the most outrageous form of fiction, just by nature an autobiography is going to be a little warped," Stanley said in Sydney today.

"Show me anyone who writes about themselves and doesn't find themselves in the centre of the universe? I have seen other people's autobiographies and I had some questions about those.

"Tooting my own horn is of no interest to me ... it takes you away from real life. It's a waste and I don't find a need to sing my own praises."
