Paul is not only a great singer,rhythm guitarist,but a very eloquently spoken rocker,great interview .He seems very appreciative for what he's done and has today. Class act!
Peter was by far the best singer in the band. Paul sang flat his whole career. Always singing stuff on records that was too high to sing live. Like the guy, but's he's no great singer.
I have to say in this interview, Paul comes across very intelligent having the experience of living a full life and learning much from it. Some people get old and don't ever really grow and learn from their years on this planet. You can't say that about Paul Stanley. Great interview.
Wow. Just wow. This man was an adult when I was watching him as a kid. He’s been a star for a long time and he sounds as grounded as a man can be. Kudos and blessings Paul.❤
I think Paul is a very down to earth person that hasn’t let fame change him. This is his charm. He is extremely articulate and smart. I grew up listening to Kiss and I am a huge fan. After reading the book I became not only a fan of Kiss but a bigger fan of Paul. He has integrity, honest and is just an all around classy guy.
He is cool and kind. My family met him and his family in the Bahamas recently. I swear to you that he is normal, giving, and in remarkable shape for a man his age. We saw him at the pool and on the beach and he clearly takes care of himself. Nicest of all celebrities.
These artists at the time were always humble. They created a character that went with the music at the time. But deep down they are just humble and kind family men. They definitely became wiser with age. I’m happy to revisit these artists. Today’s artists are corrupt and I don’t think they will change. That’s why I ignore all they are putting out there. But kiss? I’ll watch anything they have done a hundred times just to thank them for being good humans at the end of the day.
Paul is right that "we the fans" have put KISS in the Hall of Fame long ago...In our hearts they are always ON TOP!!! They are loved for much more than their music!!!
Paul Stanley has always meant so much to me ! I saw the Destroyer Tour in Raleigh, NC when I was 14 ! It was my first real concert . I have been a huge fan for Life . Long live Kiss !
We went for lunch with 4 ladies in Vancouver. I wasn't a fan of anyone ever but Paul was wise back when we were young and I loved getting to know him. Plus I can sing like nobodies business, so we have that.
this guy is not just a bummer who got lucky and became a millionaire, paul stanley is a well spoken person, you can tell paul stanley is a very smart, professional and very well educated.
I met Paul years ago we hung out at a hotel bar after a KISS concert-I was a local barroom rock musician and Paul was a national rock star-generally rock stars will treat regional stars like lesser musicians but not Paul-he was friendly and treated me with due respect-I tip my hat to Paul Stanly he is what I would describe as cool X infinity-I have met many national rock stars in my life and I would describe most of them as royal assholes-but not Paul-you rock bro.

Paul is intelligent and well spoken. He loves his family. I do not think he cares what other males say about his looks. Some youtubers say the stupidist crap. Grow up.
That’s been said about a lot of male musicians and actors. Out of anything you could say in comment to this video, for you to choose what you did speaks volumes about your lack of maturity and intelligence but I’ll still ask you to think about two things. Do you think the stomach can hold anywhere close to three gallons and how many men and time do you think it would take to produce three gallons of sperm? Whether you think about it or not, you’ll still be an idiot.
@@abelincoln5698 It says that I don't always believe everything I hear, read or see about someone and if something appears in my recommended that relates to someone that I am curious about or have developed negative or positive opinions about I will watch the video, if I have the time.

You're assuming I watched the video in order to cement my beliefs or preconceived notions and that's not true. I actually don't enjoy disliking people and look for redeeming qualities in those I dislike. I wasn't ever a Kiss fan, my boyfriend was and is. I started watching documentaries and reading about the band in order to try to understand their appeal beyond their music. I don't consider myself to be a narrow minded hater. The opinion I expressed, my comment, was mine after watching the video. I don't think I mentioned hating anyone. I've seen videos and read articles about people I had initially not had positive feelings about and changed my mind after learning I'd been wrong.
This is what happens when you work hard and don't take any negativity from others... This comment section is filled with hate. *"The ones who put you down and tell you that you can't succeed... Always fail." -Paul Stanley*
Paul is one of the most amazing front men in rock-n-roll, And yet he's a very likeable , genuine and honest person. You would think his ego would be out of this world, but he's totally down to earth, Loves what he does and hasn't taken a single second of it for granted. And he's also very intelligent and well spoken. Thanks Paul for all the years of great music and entertainment.
great guy, was renting rehearsal studio out and i was blown away how down to earth he was about running the place, he was always cool calm and collective
Paul stands out again! He is so honest and he is so cool being himself and not being some character. Not inviting Gene to his marriage was the right call no matter what. People stop standing on the fence! And what he said about "reality" shows on TV was the most outstanding stuff someone dared to say! It is no f... cliché. Cuddles to you man, you really rock!!
"You either have reality or television, there's not such thing as reality television". Brilliant. An evident truth that so many ignore. God bless Paul.
Paul is a great guy, driven, and smart. people who knock him are just jealous. Paul deserves every good thing he has, and worked very hard for it. God Bless Paul Stanley.
Maybe jealous of his money, but nothing else. The guy has sang flat for 30 years and still sucks on guitar. He's a hack who talks shit on his bandmates.
This is a great interview. Paul really lived during a wonderful time for Rock'n'Roll and KISS was a great band that I have fond memories listening to. Having a band is like no other experience really and I think that this kind of interview highlights that.
I have been a KISS fan since forever! I feel for the issues they went through with Peter Criss and Ace Frehley. Its up and down for every band and its members. Still doesnt deny the music is phenominal and will always be listened to for generations to come
Met Paul at South Park mall in Charlotte NC at one of his art show’s. He’s a very accomplished artist, and a very humble man. Love’s to talk about his art and KISS. Been a fan since ‘74, when they opened for Blue Oyster Cult. 29 timer here!!
He looks a nice, genuine and sincere man in what he talks. I like it a lot, I always liked it even though I new the music of Kiss when I was 6 years old. By Paul, a big hug.
One of the best and most interesting interviews i have ever witnessed. Ace was my guitar hero early on in the 70's, but a changing of the guard has happened. Paul is the hero and the essence of what a real man should be & stand for. His convictions and FAMILY/BELIEFS!
Paul has about 50% hearing loss in one ear, as do I in both ears, and I'm also an old Rock Guitar musician for 50 years. But he did have a device which he had in one ear while playing so he could hear true tones and pitch so he could sing on key, as do many singers these days. They also tuned down their guitars to the HZ range where Paul's hearing was the best and where he could match his voice. But a lot of bands tune down for Rock music as Guitars sound better.
I want to know about how many local people around NYC recognized them early on with the makeup and how they never said who they were or pointed them out in their yearbooks and blowing it for them.
You can find the book in an audio format here on RUclips. I knew he wasn't dissing band members he was simply explaining what it was like coping with all the dysfunction in his life with his nuclear family and KISS his other dysfunctional family. I get it Paul.
Jeez, Lovers of Hate - let's take this at face value. The truth is he's an extremely compelling communicator, a kind soul, and an inspirational figure for anyone who's had to begin their lives being teased and tossed in the trash. I actually knew nothing about the guy before today, and I'm now a fan.
You know what? Even as a very vocal member on youtube of the "KISS Suck Army", I have to admit, Paul DOES seem like a cool, down to earth person (unlike Ego-on-2-Legs-Gene) but their Music has always been garbage. But I do have a new- found respect for Paul now after watching this.
Years since you posted your message but I hope you still have good taste in music the fact that you are no fan of kiss a test to your understanding of what good music is all about well let's give it a good start anyway
I absolutely agree with Paul on The Hall of Fame. There is no question. The KISS Army is the reason for his success. I admire this band so much. Intelligent, fun and I never looked at a concert the same way. If it wasn't KISS epic, it was a poor excuse for a concert. I think that this band is the reason for other artists having to UP their game. This is a band I am proud to support and have supported since the age of 13. I still have all my vinyl and some CDs. Rock and Roll never dies. This band is living proof.
Wow, tell ya what, Paul sure seams to be a level headed common sense kind a guy. It seams that his stardom has not gone to his head. I feel like I could sit down with him and just have good conversation with him without the feeling of intimidation or concern. What a genuinely nice guy...
Add to that, if you don't know how to be happy, sex, drugs and rock n' roll won't make you happy. Shovelling fame in the hole just demonstrates how deep the hole is.
I've got a lot of time for Paul. Gene is always very interesting and you never know what he's going to come up with next. Paul is a real down to earth bloke, very compassionate, and truthful.
Peace and greetings to you all! While I'm not a big fan of this type of music, I really do respect many of the things this man is saying, especially with regards to children with physical differences others may find startling . I also appreciate his demeanor. I remember when KISS had their own action figures in the late 70s. He seems to have found peace with himself.
Gene Simmons is now disrespecting his fans with some of the ludicrous crap he says about blue collar workers etc. He has forgotten who made him his money.
I've never been a kiss fan either, but you have to give these guys just as much credit as any other band that has endured for 40+ years; whether you like their music or not. Like it or not, they are icons and for better or worse the 70s (when I grew up) wouldn't have been the same without them! like he said, the proof is in the 100 million albums. Keep rocking' boys!!!
I've been a KISS fan more than 40 years. Paul and Gene are very underrated. It always pissed me off that the band was considered a freak show. They have put out some great music. Sold a 100-million albums.
People talk shit about Paul but I see him to be the hardest working, smartest, most genuine and thoughtful member of KISS. Sure I love Ace and Peter, but c’mon, they screwed themselves out of the band. How can you endure healthy relationships with people who are constantly drunk and high? Paul’s a good guy, anyone who’s listened to him can see this.
Saw kiss in portland maine in 90s..they played close to 2 hours..paul stanly had cracked or broken ribs from a accident week before..he ran and jumped and gave it his all..broken ribs are painful man,, hes a rock warrior.
Paul Stanley is a total sweetheart . I met him years ago .
Paul is not only a great singer,rhythm guitarist,but a very eloquently spoken rocker,great interview .He seems very appreciative for what he's done and has today. Class act!
he got move :D lol
@Red Ficher Dude he made that comment 5 years ago

@@gregdennis5107 stop getting high🤣
Well said...great observation
I always felt his voice very soothing. Means you can listen to him talking for hours.
Why do you think he fucked so many women??!!
Same here. I'm not really a fan, but in hearing his story, I feel for the guy
And he's a fucking comedian! The Hottest Band In The WORLD! KISS!
I listen to his audiobook in bed and pass out instantly lol
Agreed!! He’s aged soo well. He’s still a damn hottie!!!
I have to say in this interview, Paul comes across very intelligent having the experience of living a full life and learning much from it. Some people get old and don't ever really grow and learn from their years on this planet. You can't say that about Paul Stanley. Great interview.
Wow. Just wow. This man was an adult when I was watching him as a kid. He’s been a star for a long time and he sounds as grounded as a man can be. Kudos and blessings Paul.❤
One of the most articulate and well spoken rock singers out there. Paul is a true leader in rock
I’ve always had a tough time liking Paul..but one thing about him I like is that he praises his fans endlessly..That’s all you can really ask for.
I think Paul is a very down to earth person that hasn’t let fame change him. This is his charm. He is extremely articulate and smart. I grew up listening to Kiss and I am a huge fan. After reading the book I became not only a fan of Kiss but a bigger fan of Paul. He has integrity, honest and is just an all around classy guy.
He is cool and kind. My family met him and his family in the Bahamas recently. I swear to you that he is normal, giving, and in remarkable shape for a man his age. We saw him at the pool and on the beach and he clearly takes care of himself. Nicest of all celebrities.
He hit the nail on the head when he talked about reality TV.
"You either have reality or television...there's no such thing as reality television"....I Love it!!
Love this bloke , so honest with his life and everything that has happened in his days with KISS . Have a great deal of respect...
These artists at the time were always humble. They created a character that went with the music at the time. But deep down they are just humble and kind family men. They definitely became wiser with age. I’m happy to revisit these artists. Today’s artists are corrupt and I don’t think they will change. That’s why I ignore all they are putting out there.

Good for Paul to tell it like it is. Clear headed thinker
Met him, He was a genuinely nice guy.
Very respectful too
Very lucky to meet him, sounds a lovely bloke and his voice is lovely. He is such a babe especially when he was young
just stumbled across this. i have a lot of respect for this guy on how well spoken he is about the love of the music and respecting the fans.
Paul is right that "we the fans" have put KISS in the Hall of Fame long ago...In our hearts they are always ON TOP!!! They are loved for much more than their music!!!
Paul Stanley has always meant so much to me ! I saw the Destroyer Tour in Raleigh, NC when I was 14 ! It was my first real concert . I have been a huge fan for Life . Long live Kiss !

We went for lunch with 4 ladies in Vancouver. I wasn't a fan of anyone ever but Paul was wise back when we were young and I loved getting to know him. Plus I can sing like nobodies business, so we have that.

Nicely said. KISS is iconic. Paul is smart.
Yes he does come across a real genuine guy.
Great to know that, I thought he’d be arrogant for being a rockstar
What a great opportunity to sit down with an international star like Paul.
Cause he's a closet gay. He prolly had a crush on you lol
Paul is intelligent and well spoken. He loves his family. I do not think he cares what other males say about his looks. Some youtubers say the stupidist crap. Grow up.

Could not have said it better myself, plus soooo many haters.....
Paul has always been a cutie, and still is. He was in the 'gifted' class in school, and it shines through whenever he speaks.
The dude wears women's danskins we can see his little Peter you can't not see it
@@mrromantimothy How old are you ? 8? Grow up !
What a cool guy, just overall down to earth human being...not playing up the character that was sold and marketed... pleasant to hear the man himself
not one criticism about this great man.should have multiple nobel awards by now! A true humanitarian and a genius.
Classy guy. He deserves all his success.
He's been really classless I how he's trashed all of his former band members. He acts like he and Gene are perfect and were the entire band.
Hanna Kin Peter and Ace became dead weight in the band.

Best interview w/ Paul ever. Honest. His book IS inspirational. Proud of him.
Great Insight on Paul’s take on the Rock and Roll HOF
Paul just seems easy going guy. He certainly looks at peace. Wonderful singer songwriter and performer. All around Rock ⭐ !!!
He looks a nice, genuine and sincere man in what he talks. I like it a lot, I always liked it even though I new the music of Kiss when I was 6 years old. By Paul, a big hug.
TOTAL CLASS. How could you not appreciate the man? I remember he used to come off as such a heavy. Read the book; I did, and it's a great read.
One of the best and most interesting interviews i have ever witnessed. Ace was my guitar hero early on in the 70's, but a changing of the guard has happened. Paul is the hero and the essence of what a real man should be & stand for. His convictions and FAMILY/BELIEFS!
What a gem of a person, and was one of the best when he was on.
He has a lovely tone to his voice, and so articulate and intelligent! OMG, I'm deaf in my right ear as well....and a vocalist!

Yes, the tone of his voice is lovely.
I always loved Paul Stanley's vocals
So articulate! What a fun band, and they really love their fans. What's not to like?
He could be all that, but what is really awesome is his ability to find words to express him self,good job I should say.
He really does have his head screwed on nicely. God Bless him.
I ❤️ Paul!! KISS was my 1st rock concert and their 1st world tour, in Feb 1977. I had just turned 10 and I've been a die hard fan since!! 🤘🤘🤘🤘
40 years of hard work- over 100 million albums abd magic concerts🎉
I actually had the honor to meet Paul Stanley back in 1995 and he was awesome...
Paul Stanley is helping me figure things out. Thank you Paul.
I've always liked and respected Paul. He seems like such a cool guy.
Paul you still look young omg . Your still handsome as ever.
Great Rock singer and great humble human being. An example for youngsters 👍
I want to know about how many local people around NYC recognized them early on with the makeup and how they never said who they were or pointed them out in their yearbooks and blowing it for them.
Yes, I love his voice. I could listen to Paul forever
Paul is a

One of the all time best rock lead vocalists EVER!!!!!
You can find the book in an audio format here on RUclips. I knew he wasn't dissing band members he was simply explaining what it was like coping with all the dysfunction in his life with his nuclear family and KISS his other dysfunctional family. I get it Paul.

The truth is he's an extremely compelling communicator, a kind soul, and an inspirational figure for anyone who's had to begin their lives being teased and tossed in the trash.

Nice words
Agreed.
Seems a very decent and humble guy
Even with all the work he's had done, he looks pretty good. Good interview.
I read Paul's book and it is an excellent read. Couldn't put it down. I also read Ace's book. Good read also.
I am no fan of Kiss at all. PERIOD… but who knew Paul Stanley was so…intelligent and insightful?
He is a pretty intelligent guy. Very well spoken, even if some of the stuff he says appears to come across wrong.
he's polite and well mannered but hey do you determine intelligence from a book plug??
Years since you posted your message but I hope you still have good taste in music the fact that you are no fan of kiss a test to your understanding of what good music is all about well let's give it a good start anyway

I can't recall, but it's on youtube as an audiobook...look for it...the book pages flew by...sign of a great read...

Paul is a good man. Class, empathy and humility all the way. Sweet guy!
Ha, Team Peter and Ace disagree!!!!!!
Paul , Gene, Ace, Peter are all great musicians and performers just 4 different people with there own thoughts and personality, they're all awesome!!
The fact is that nobody's life is perfect - Envy no one.

Gene is about Gene.
Gene Simmons has never been known for his brilliance...that said he sometimes comes across as an ASSHOLE?!!!!
I don’t think ludicrous fits. More like a horses ass!
Paul seems pretty humble for his rock star statuses, nice to see as he mellows what age. and Detroit rock city is my favorite kiss tune as well..
I've never been a kiss fan either, but you have to give these guys just as much credit as any other band that has endured for 40+ years; whether you like their music or not. Like it or not, they are icons and for better or worse the 70s (when I grew up) wouldn't have been the same without them! like he said, the proof is in the 100 million albums.
Keep rocking' boys!!!
The only sensible one in the bunch I think very smart and classy dude right on way to go thanks for the years of rockin entertainment Mr. Stanley
Paul was always my favorite person in Kiss
One of the Top frontmen in Rock n Roll
I've been a KISS fan more than 40 years. Paul and Gene are very underrated. It always pissed me off that the band was considered a freak show. They have put out some great music. Sold a 100-million albums.
I gained so much respect for thus man
He has faults like all humans
But he really speaks wiser and very focused
Love you Paul
The undeniable reality, and you shouldn't think like this, is the fact that without Paul there is no Kiss full stop...
Wow, he IS inspirational!
Undoubtedly a very intelligent, deep and honest man....
Bless
Ermz :-)
"chase what wet want and not what we need" so fucking true
Always gracious, and humble. Love him! 💟
Paul was born a rock star!!
Paul is a class act. What a great guy!
People talk shit about Paul but I see him to be the hardest working, smartest, most genuine and thoughtful member of KISS. Sure I love Ace and Peter, but c’mon, they screwed themselves out of the band. How can you endure healthy relationships with people who are constantly drunk and high? Paul’s a good guy, anyone who’s listened to him can see this.
The way you put it is perfect no shade/hate straight facts
Paul was really smart about this … he held his tongue until everybody else dished their dirt first, and then he got the last word: no fool he.
Saw kiss in portland maine in 90s..they played close to 2 hours..paul stanly had cracked or broken ribs from a accident week before..he ran and jumped and gave it his all..broken ribs are painful man,, hes a rock warrior.
