@hhhk20 Ace and Peter refused to take responsibility for ANYTHING, otherwise they're be worth hundreds of millions now. They are drunken, drugged out wastes of space and time. Stop defending losers, your sound stupid.
Patrick (my middle name) as a pal of Paul, know Paul is a great guy and an artist. KISS, arguably, is pure art, which is its purpose. drjimxlaw64@gmail.com
"i wanted the crowd to love me, because i haven't learned to love myself..." i dont know, but that gets me you know, like i know what is like being the person that the society wants you to be, and not the person who you want to be (sorry for my bad english)
I was never really into the Kiss, i respect what they did, i despite Simmons, but hearing this makes me think a lot. It is like he is talking about me. You realise , even people like Paul Stanley have problems like you have, despite having millions of money, millions of followers, and that is something Gene Simmons is not able to admit. He cant go down deep inside that like Stanley.. Who i consider very inteligent person on many levels.
Gene Simmons is an intellectual and emotional buffoon. From this book he I feel that since day one Gene has simply been an egotistical dumbass incapable of doing anything, he is very, very lucky to have met Paul Stanley. Genes best trait is when a marketing expert says "we should do this" Gene says "yes."
I personally think, that both Paul and Gene are very intelligent people. And, deep down, they are both nice people, too. The difference I see is, that Paul is more open emotionally, and tries to share his emotions, his problems, his uncertainty even with his fans. While Gene plays a game, the person he pretends to be for the public has never existed. However, lately he's been able to take off that pose and mask somewhat, and be really himself... at least at times.
Such a beautiful and honest portrayal not only of what celebrity attitude brings - "I couldn't be comfortable outside the controlled situation of being the star child" - but also, of the kind of mind which develops into an artist like him. Most people can just drop the ball and "hangout" - but Paul was wired to have cosmic conversations and skip the mundane aspects of reality. If he didn't feel like a radiant shooting star, then he didn't feel comfortable - for better or worse. I can relate. Its great that he can be so objective about himself as he developed in his life. I think someone truly arrogant could not be this critical about himself in the past.
This is way Paul is the man! He isn't perfect and without directly saying it he is admitting this. Sure he has a 100 million income, but he is only human and has the same hangups and fears/insecurities most of us non multimillionaires have.
It's a good thing that Paul didn't get addicted to dope . His journey through life , forget that he is a successful musician/performer, is typical of millions of people.
Paul , I think you are an awesome human being . Do you know that you have helped many people with different things , phobias , and dead ends . You have helped me very much emotionally , mentally . You have made me more positive and energetic . Your music will never leave me . Be well with your family . Remember I’m just a huge admirable fan
I appreciate your openness and honesty, Paul. I'd love to know you and be friends with someone like you! Thank you for your candor, its comforting to know you're just like the rest of us and have doubts and fears but keep going in spite of the BS! ❤
I can relate to what he's saying. I've been a burn victim since the age of 2. I had a hard time talking to people and being around people, I was to self-conscious about everything.
As a 54 yr old "kid from brooklyn" sitting on a toilet bowl in a Pompeii b&b listening to his story I can relate to your "kid from Queens being " . This is very open and honest . But all in all he did well for himself and the stage personal must me left behind at a certain time of the day-and the real down to earth "kid from queens" must resurface as he has done in this autobiography. Bravo Paul -from Queens !!
Bless his sweet heart...i can understand ...just want to wrap him up in a hug and not let go..til he knew without a doubt he was never alone ..that he ...stanley...is lovable and loved ..no starchild was needed
I am glad he is mature enough to recognize his own flaws, if you think about about, His troubles were minor compared to all the other rock stars who would die due to drugs and alcohol.
His troubles are why some of these rock stars died. The drugs and alcohol were coping mechanisms. Being kept in that bubble, your social skills and ability to function dies, if you ever had it in the first place.
@@MrRugbyloosehead that's how normal people write a book he is talking about all the peoples flaws have u really read the book he isnt bashing just to bash
So deep n raw! Thanks for sharing this emotional time in ur life. Being real with oneself is a true gift. Most ppl walk the road of denial. Most ppl think, jumping on another will fix, the broken. Yes, most ppl chose what makes them look good, rather then the person that makes u feel good. U are an amazing man, with an amazing mind & extraordinary talent. Totally get u. I for one, feel the same, not a walking social disease, an proud to not fall into the temptations of it. May I have patients, to wait on that dream person, until then my center of my world will always bring me more treasure, then I could ever buy. It’s Grandbabies! It’s double the blessing! I think, if u stay true to you, you will have exactly what u will need. If u have patients, good things will come.
This excerpt explains so much, like why Paul is still performing on stage, whether it's with KISS or with Soul Station. I honestly think Paul will be on stage until the day he dies.
Paul I would love to talk about music historically and emotionally...never heard a rockstar not give a damn about equipment but solely the human nature and connection to music. I can understand not having anyone to talk to when people expect a big presence. It’s a good ego check. As proud of a person Paul is, he really is one of the most unique rockstars in this way.
I appreciate how transparent Paul is with this part of his life, it’s not always easy to talk about these topics of life. I sympathize with Paul and I myself can relate to him on this. I was happy and I actually teared up when I first heard this 2 years ago I hadn’t felt heard or understood, I never thought or felt like anyone was going through or anyone had gone through what I was experiencing or had experienced.
Paul, you are more than just "Star Child," or for that matter, a "star." You are a whole intricate, wonderful constellation inside that heart that is you.
Dear paul la soledad nos pasa a todos mucha tegnologia pero mucha soledad no es facil hablar con alguien y en su situacion de ser una persona publica mas. Me parece una persona inteligente y que habla con su corazon. Sigue estando super buenmozo.
This resonates so much because as someone who has suffered from and as someone who has worked with others who experience significant social phobia - no one gets it unless you have felt it. It can cripple you. For me, working and helping those who were even more frozen by their social phobia really helped me understand my own. They will never know that they helped me as much or more than I helped them.
Years ago I told a friend Paul was very insecure, which is why he tried so hard. It was his style of trying hard. When his book came out I realized I was right. I feel kind of bad for him, but it seems as if he worked through his personal demons, which is always a good thing.
This is one of the most honest and amazing admissions in music. As 'mundane' as it may seem. Not about drugs, demons (well, not the really big ones) etc. But I understand this. It's not a 'phobia'. Some people like deeper conversations. That is next to impossible in America and anglo-saxon nations especially but almost anywhere really.
Yeah financially screwed or fired every Kiss band member since the original drummer and lead guitar were fired. Refused to give them solid contracts or a part of gross revenues. That is why they went through so many Kiss band members. As articulate and interesting as Paul sounds it was all about Money at the end of the day with him and Kiss. Gene just went along with whatever Paul wanted. They screwed over lots of musicians in the process over the 45 or so years. I don't dislike Paul. I find him articulate and interesting. But he has a tendency to blame others for everything that went wrong over the years with Kiss. Him and Gene screwed lots of people over the years. At the end of the day it was all about the money in their pockets. IMHO
@michaelbreindel9126 Paul wrote about his business work, too. How they were young and didn't know where their money disappeared, when they were on tour etc. And he was right to blame e.g. Howard Marks or Bill Aucoin. But he also said, WE were naiv. Then he took care that they were not exploited. He deserves respect for this work, too. Even Vinnie Vincent said (Expo Talk 2018): Paul " he is really, a really extremely kind soul". And "I love him". By the way, Vinnie's singer in VVI also didn't want to sign Vinnie's contract. We don't know how many people Madonna fired? Business is business. And what's Paul here talking about is his personality. Very honest. And when there is someone to "blame", then it's his mother. Emotionally cold. I believe him.
Mr StNley u need a woman who will luv u not the musician Luv the man first his music second if u gather my train of thought here u r beautiful as a human and a brilliant musician I wish happiness in whatever u do bless u
the story about the pulling up to a place and not going in, ha, i do the same thing, social anxiety, I used to play in a band, in front of people, but going to a club, felt like I never had any business being there, many times I'd just pull off after having every intention of going in, just freeze the same way. Ha, maybe we should cut a blues track about loneliness , a "tea for one"all minor and melancholic
Wow, I totally understand Paul. I lived the same life though at a lower level. I had no life but my bands. People thought I was a womanizing rock star, but I was anything but. It's fascinating hearing Paul's reading of his book. Much respect to him.
Wow. As a childhood fan of KISS and an adult fan of Springsteen, I am struck by how similar the 2 men's stories of themselves as rock stars and real people are. Such a transformation into a persona publicly that they absolutely do not embody in private. Kind of amazing, really,
I'll give him that for discussing his weaknesses. That takes a lot to talk about. But why do I feel he had someone write all his work. He's speaking intelligently & articulate
I know how you feel ! Once I didn’t leave the house for 10 days curled up In The foetal position for 10 days nearly died after I got food poisoning at the same time .
You as human reach a time when you question your existence. Then you came to the realization nothing o no material things can fill that empty gap in your life.nothing not even the companion of beautiful woman....then you realize you disregard the thing you really need and fill your emptiness . ......your spirituality. .the very the thing that gives the joy to continue living. .in a world one try to live with eyes close....in shallow reality.... One must be closer to your creator at the end of the rope of life..........since one totally disregarded as a young man....that happened to you Paul stanley...and me...everybody with a conscious...
if i was him during that time i would have looked in the newspapers and see what movie theaters were showing movies such as ROBOT MONSTER or PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE - i heard stories about all night cartoon showings back then
I am so sorry you deal with loniness. It is hard to understand bc you are so cool and we all think the world of you. Star child or not God made you special and for His purpose. Chin up to the coolest rock n roll guy there is
When a person spends their lifetime pursuing their heart's desire, dreams, or whatever they perceive to be the ultimate accomplishment ... once they achieve their goal, whether it be Stardom, Great Wealth, Worldly Power...or Whatever! They can end up feeling empty inside. There are plenty of examples, from 'movie stars' to Politicians. Inner peace doesn't come easy..... no matter Who, or What you BECOME...(and it can be fleeting,) no matter WHAT you Achieve. It can be a LIFE-TIMES Pursuit...which is what ALWAYS makes the Journey more Valuable.... (then the End of the road...)
Paul Stanley nobody goes to club by themselves they find a friend.anybody goes into a club alone is going to feel awkward unless they are meeting someone there
When you are as self-absorbed and as self-obsessed and self-centered as Paul is about himself, the last thing he's interested in is other people. He's a petty, arrogant, prick who I always admired more than any other member of KISS until about 10 years ago when his true self started to emerge. Now, I wouldn't hail a cab for him.
Hi! I was just curious - what started to emerge 10 years ago with Paul that made you have this opinion. (For the record, I met him also a year and a half ago at a Meet and Greet concert in Connecticut. He was very distant - not wanting to chat too much with fans).
@@dr.jimmchugh1755 if he doesn’t feel comfortable going in a social setting where he doesn’t know anyone and isn’t the center of attention then that is social anxiety
So, maybe if you meet Paul sometime, treat him to a coffee and a little conversation about the bands he grew up listening to. You night just make a friend.
I remember reading about Jagger who, after performing in front of thousands had to take a dump and felt incredibly lonely. No one to be with etc .. same feeling/different person.
Paul I didn't know you had anxiety problem I love you and your music I used to play the piano not anymore maybe you can talk me out of it I dont like large crowds but I will see you in. A big crowd maybe
It's unreal how the scars of childhood can distort how you perceive yourself well into adulthood.
You never get over your childhood. Good or bad, it stays with you.
amen
here here
with age it gets more obvious and shocking
You don’t “get over it” but you can def learn to deal with it and heal from it.
Paul is an awesome man. Very intelligent, self aware, amazing performer, and a great dad. He has worked so hard to get where he is.
Wow. This is brutally honest. No wonder so many musicians get into drugs. Life is what you make it but it's different once you've made it.
Know him, Dude! Paul could be your next-door neighbor. Artist live in a separate culture.
The more I hear these excerpts, the more I like and appreciate Paul Stanley.

Met Paul twice, he was always very kind and a down to earth guy...
I dig Paul so much more after hearing this. I appreciate his honesty.
sad, its all ,lies
Yes, John, you probably are.
Yes. The Beatles are similar too. John was pranking, Paul is nice, so is Ringo, George was the quite one. They started fighting later...
Paul Stanley is the man! lots of front men and women have borrowed from him,or just stoled from him, I met him back in the day!very nice man!!!

Paul Stanley is as delusional today, if not more so than he ever was. He gains self esteem from putting others down, you won't hear Gene do that
His troubles are why some of these rock stars died. The drugs and alcohol were coping mechanisms. Being kept in that bubble, your social skills and ability to function dies, if you ever had it in the first place.
Read his book it's packed full of put downs so much so you can't even read it!
Paul Stanley didn't do drugs but only because he was way too much of a pussy to try them.

What I"m hearing now is what I knew. As an adolesent in the 1970's
I couldn't know, but I "knew".
That's why I've always loved Paul❤.

I was happy and I actually teared up when I first heard this 2 years ago I hadn’t felt heard or understood, I never thought or felt like anyone was going through or anyone had gone through what I was experiencing or had experienced.
It's nice to see someone who knows they are only human and trying to figure out their life and who they are.
It isn't easy being a musician, especially if you can't socialize, with regular people.
These these autobiography Clips are so much more enjoyable to listen to when you don't read any of the comments.
He's very fortunate to be doing what he does for a living. I'd trade with him any day.
Nope.
How sad
Paul, you are more than just "Star Child," or for that matter, a "star." You are a whole intricate, wonderful constellation inside that heart that is you.
...oh brother.
I just puked on my Kiss boots.
Oh fuck, that is some nauseating bullshit right there.

Paul Stanley nobody goes to club by themselves they find a friend.anybody goes into a club alone is going to feel awkward unless they are meeting someone there
Doubt you will read this Paul, but you could probably help a shit ton of people if you were more public and vocal about this.
ironblud Agree 100%
When you are as self-absorbed and as self-obsessed and self-centered as Paul is about himself, the last thing he's interested in is other people. He's a petty, arrogant, prick who I always admired more than any other member of KISS until about 10 years ago when his true self started to emerge. Now, I wouldn't hail a cab for him.
Hi! I was just curious - what started to emerge 10 years ago with Paul that made you have this opinion. (For the record, I met him also a year and a half ago at a Meet and Greet concert in Connecticut. He was very distant - not wanting to chat too much with fans).
FiatDuster I did not know. That was good if him
This recording is from the audio book version.
I guess Paul Stanley has social anxiety
Bad guess. drlimxlaw64@gmail.com
K
Wrong guess.
Eric Carr did and Paul constantly bashed him for it in his book
@@dr.jimmchugh1755 if he doesn’t feel comfortable going in a social setting where he doesn’t know anyone and isn’t the center of attention then that is social anxiety
So, maybe if you meet Paul sometime, treat him to a coffee and a little conversation about the bands he grew up listening to. You night just make a friend.
A case of all dressed up and no place to go...Sorry to hear.
This is it...not fame or money or...but to learn to love yourself!
God lets all cry
Paul actually knows a lot about gear, he just doesn't talk about it
He speaks the truth
I remember reading about Jagger who, after performing in front of thousands had to take a dump and felt incredibly lonely. No one to be with etc .. same feeling/different person.
even with biases against him, I kinda feel for him in this video
God loves you
Paul is great.
Paul I didn't know you had anxiety problem I love you and your music I used to play the piano not anymore maybe you can talk me out of it I dont like large crowds but I will see you in. A big crowd maybe
