Last week I picked up my new book I got as a gift. The book was titled Makeup to Breakup: My Life In and Out of KISS. It is an extremely truthful biography that is filled with many surprising realities. I find it very entertaining but also a slow read. Also, I am normally a slow reader so you fast readers out there could probably read it real quick. Peter goes through the start of his life, to KISS, to where he is now. He also likes cats! Overall, I would suggest this book to anyone who likes KISS or Peter Criss. http://www.amazon.com/Makeup-Breakup-Life-Out-Kiss/dp/1451620829 (Just in case you want to buy it *wink*wink*) But seriously though, I'm not getting paid at all to write this. I just like the book and Peter Criss.
For all of you who took note, I am posting about mustaches, more specifically, bands with mustaches in them (or mustached people if you prefer). I think I have enough information so enjoy the pictures.
Deep Purple. Mustache bottom right.
This one was obvious. Some people say that ZZ Top became popular because of their beards (and mustaches).
John Bonham (far left) from Led Zeppelin is definitely a great drummer too.
He's basically the best drummer ever.
Kansas has it all set with mustaches and an eye patch. Don't forget the awesome music.
OH MY GOODNESS ANOTHER MUSTACHE.
This is Rush by the way. They are an amazing band.
Queen is 20% cooler with Freddie's mustache. Those who get the reference, good work.
If there's one album I'd have to choose with the best story behind it, I'd have to choose Machine Head by Deep Purple. This album is best known for it's song "Smoke on the Water" which is actually a true story about how this album was made. The album was recorded in Montreux after the casino (the one they wrote the song about) was burned to the ground by an audience member who fired a flare during a Frank Zappa concert. Deep Purple had to relocate to a different place to record their album.
I think every band needs a guy with a mustache in it. Even if he doesn't play anything.
I'm probably going to write a blog post about that in the future. Take note.
Machine Head is an awesome album. It's also got a really neat background to it. (Look it up if you want to learn more about that.) Not only does the album look cool and have a cool back story, it also has a bunch of amazing songs on it.
Just saying, but the album has pictures of the burning casino on it. It's pretty cool.
For example, one really awesome song (which I'd have to say is my favorite) on the album would have to be "Space Truckin'". (Hence the title.)
