KISS & Tell MORE!

The Sequel

KISS & Tell MORE! is the jaw-dropping sequel to the original rock exposé that blew the lid off the Spaceman myth. Co-authored by Gordon G.G. Gebert, a longtime friend and insider in Ace Frehley’s chaotic orbit, this book plunges even deeper into the madness, mayhem, and excess of life behind the scenes with one of KISS’s most enigmatic members. No fluff, no filters—just the unvarnished truth from someone who lived it.

Packed with new revelations, shocking escapades, and brutally honest anecdotes, KISS & Tell MORE! goes where the first book dared to tread—and then some. From drug-fueled disasters and personal meltdowns to career sabotage and betrayal, Gebert delivers another brutally entertaining insider account of Ace’s rock ‘n’ roll rollercoaster. But this time, the spotlight also turns to the aftermath.

This volume includes the intense fan reaction and blowback sparked by the first book—ranging from outrage to support, obsession to denial. The inclusion of fan mail, hate messages, and media response creates a unique cultural snapshot of how fiercely the KISS Army defends its idols and how deep the band’s mythology runs.

More than just a continuation, KISS & Tell MORE! is a fearless deep-dive into fame, friendship, dysfunction, and the cult-like world of KISS fandom. Whether you're a loyal fan or a curious outsider, this book will shock, entertain, and leave you questioning everything you thought you knew about rock royalty.

On a Wing and a Prayer With ANGEL

On a Wing and a Prayer With ANGEL by Gordon G.G. Gebert is a wild, firsthand account of life on the road and behind the curtain with one of rock's most underrated and enigmatic bands of the 1970s: ANGEL. Known for their all-white costumes, celestial image, and theatrical live shows, ANGEL was billed as the “anti-KISS”—but behind the glam and glow stood a band caught in the chaos of the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle.

Gordon G.G. Gebert, who lived and toured with the band as their keyboardist during their later years, offers a no-holds-barred look into ANGEL’s inner circle. From the glitz of Hollywood and the excess of the Sunset Strip to the dysfunction backstage and on the tour bus, Gebert’s account is raw, unfiltered, and often outrageous. Packed with larger-than-life personalities, backstage insanity, and moments of unexpected heart, On a Wing and a Prayer With ANGEL reveals the untold story of a band that flew high, crashed hard, and still managed to leave a lasting legacy in rock history.

More than just a memoir, this book serves as an insider time capsule of the late ’70s and ’80s music scene—chronicling the highs, the lows, the egos, the breakups, and the dreams that never quite landed. With candid storytelling, humor, and sometimes brutal honesty, Gebert pulls no punches as he reflects on fame, failure, loyalty, and redemption.

Whether you're a longtime fan of ANGEL, a KISS completist, or simply fascinated by the gritty reality of the rock world, On a Wing and a Prayer With ANGEL is a must-read ride through the heavens and hells of life in a band that deserved more than fate allowed.

Rock & Roll War Stories

"True Tales of Chaos, Carnage, and Rock Star Madness"

Rock & Roll War Stories by Gordon G.G. Gebert is an unfiltered, high-octane ride through the twisted trenches of life in the music business—told by a man who’s survived it all. From the dive bars to the arenas, the tour buses to the back alleys, Gebert pulls back the curtain on the chaos, insanity, and unexpected hilarity of rock ‘n’ roll life on the edge.

As a veteran musician who’s played with legendary bands like KISS-affiliated acts and the cult-favorite ANGEL, Gebert delivers an outrageous collection of real-life stories that are equal parts jaw-dropping, gut-wrenching, and laugh-out-loud funny. These aren’t sanitized tales of fame and fortune—they’re raw dispatches from the frontlines: guitar-smashing tantrums, near-death tour disasters, backstage betrayals, lost gigs, found groupies, and the kind of personal moments that never make it into glossy biographies.

Told with brutal honesty, biting wit, and the occasional middle finger, Rock & Roll War Stories isn’t just a memoir—it’s a survival guide, a confessional, and a love letter to the madness that is rock. Whether you're a lifelong fan, a working musician, or just fascinated by what really goes on behind the amps, this book delivers the stories they never wanted told—loud, dirty, and true.

INSANE! Crazy Eddie

Before Madoff… before Enron…
before every billion-dollar scandal splashed across the news, there was Crazy Eddie — the original retail fraud empire hiding in plain sight.

From the outside, it looked like America’s favorite electronics circus.
From the inside, it was something else entirely:

• bogus “floods”
• repackaged junk called “lunches”
• fake inventory counts
• stolen merchandise
• the infamous Panama Pump cash scheme
• an IPO built on illusion
• managers running side hustles in broad daylight

For years, customers heard the commercials.
Employees lived the chaos.
Wall Street believed the hype.

In The Accountant, when Ray King lists the greatest financial crimes in U.S. history, he drops two words understood instantly by every forensic investigator:

“CRAZY EDDIE.”

This book is the reason why.

Told by an employee who witnessed the madness from the stockroom trenches — the scams, the jealous vendettas, the fraud executed with a wink, the corporate cult atmosphere, and the eventual implosion — this is the true story behind the legend.

Not a sanitized documentary. Not a nostalgic memoir.
A firsthand look at how one family fooled customers, employees, and Wall Street…
and nearly got away with it.

THE PRICES WEREN’T THE ONLY THING THAT WAS INSANE.
