It hasn't been mentioned since that interview, so I'd appreciate it if you could elaborate on these 'rumours' you have heard about it.
If he does write a book one day, I hope it won't in any way be an angry response to Don F's book. No needless Don bashing - only what he feels is necessary to tell the story from his point of view. Don's book contained some unnecessarily shots at Glenn IMO. Also, all the original KISS guys have written books, and they are full of needless shots at the other guys.

Chaim, I found myself laughing at that. I just can't see Glenn devoting much space in his book to Don Felder. We know Glenn's a "big picture" type who doesn't like to talk about the bad times so I'd expect more about the great ride and how the business works than details of his relationships with band members.
I find it very frustrating when I notice that an autobiography is basically a response to an autobiography that came before. It makes it less timeless. After several years even the writer probably doesn't feel the same way anymore.
But yeah, Glenn probably isn't like that, but I do feel that in the History of.... documentary Glenn probably showed too much how he felt at the time. Having said that, I think he did praise Don as a guitar player when he talked about Don joining the group. That's the right way to do it IMO.
Also, if Glenn does write a book some day, it won't be a response to Don's book, because there's so many years between the books. I see I'm arguing against myself here, but it's alright. I'll go even further in proving my previous fears unnecessary. I think Glenn should correct certain things in his book - like Don cleverly leading his readers to believe that he played the leads on ICTYW, or Don implying that HC being the first single.
Nice that I made you laugh.
