No Paul, this isn't stupid, it's actually cool. This reminds me of VH1 "Storytellers". We love hearing the stories behind the songs. Please keep em coming!
Paul is such a modest man particularly about his guitar playing. He is incredibly skilled and talented and what he does works. Amazing guitarist, singer and songwriter. He also seems like a very nice and caring person with some great safety advice that must be heeded during this unprecedented and sad time.
He’s an amazing talent. His life story of how he overcame deafness in one ear and being made fun of by other kids to be a true Rock God is one for the ages!
Pauls voice is great now he's rested, and more proof he's the solo guy behind Kiss. Anyone else were just following Pauls amazing musical guidance. Thank God Ace got a mention in a positive way.
Uhh...no. His stage voice hasn't been able to last through two verses for nearly 15 years. That's why it's faked. *"Prerecorded lead vocals, baby! That's what I've got. Let's pretend together. No, that's not snot."*
You seem like a real kiss fan i have always thought that ace and paul were the kiss sound when paul sang on aces solo cover fire and water to me it sounded like original kiss more then anything since love gun whats your thoughts on that?
@@TontoEpstein the guy is 70 wonder if you’ll be able to even attempt a two hour show in platforms at that age or will you be eating apple sauce in a nursing home? but honestly if you hate kiss why are you watching this? Is there a joy in insulting there fans? That makes it worth your time? Are just bored and want to piss people off? Did paul bang your girl back in the 80s? Im not trying to insult you just curious as to the motivation ? have good day My brother
@@Ohionortheast Stanley's voice us shot, what you now hear on stage are prerecorded vocals that were recorded many years ago and/or more recent prerecorded vocals that were manipulated and altered in the studio to make them sound tolerable when Stanley pretends to sing them in a live setting.
"Sometimes your limitations are your best friend." Just what I needed to hear today. I'll carry that forward. Thank you for that and all your years of pioneering rock n roll.
Yeah, dude!! Totally!! When he said that I looked to Heaven and... Because I really struggle with my limitations as well (we all do, right?) so that sentence is really inspiring, huh?!
Paul Stanley, one of the few who admit his limitations and how we as musicians use others music for inspiration. Very secure in his place in history. Rock on!
Paul's writing and arrangement on his KISS songs is phenomenal. Brilliant song writer. Man so many great anthems. Love all of Paul's output. Stay safe everybody. Wash your hands from all surfaces you touch.

I remember in an Ace interview, Ace said that Paul is a fantastic song writer. I totally agree.
This was my favourite Kiss song of all. Thanks for doing this. I sadly lost all of my original Kiss albums in a flood a short while back which was gut wrenching but I did get to see you play this live in Toronto before all the COVID craziness hit. I hope you come back!
These "fireside chats" are so generous and insightful Paul. You seem to be a virtual music historian and I love all of the back stories, playing, singing and recollections. I hope to hear more - Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
When I hear Paul like this it is like listening to an old friend. I have been listening to KISS for decades, which is why it seems so familiar to me. Good to see you, Buddy. All the best for you too, Paul. :-) Tommy
Paul, this was absolutely NOT stupid. Thank you so much for inviting us into your home and sharing the story of the song with us. Please DO post more of these and your comments and advice at the end are very well said. Take care, Sir. And God Bless from Mississippi. :)
I work in hospital Paul. 5 days a week I walk into every sick person rooms in hospital to feed them. I walk into all areas of hospital, even those ones that are infected and contaminated. I hope you, your friend's, family, your fans will stay safe during this pandemic. Lot's of love from nhs
Paul, you and the boys gave me many good childhood memories. At 12 and 13 years of age Kiss was my favorite band in the whole world! I was nearly the only black kid that I knew that would openly admit to listening to rock and loving Kiss! My 13th birthday my mom bought me Kiss “Destroyer” on 8 track. Man I wore that thing out. Thanks!
That was my first record too. I got it for my birthday when I was 11 years old. I played it all the time. I was in the Christchurch Cathedral Choir and we did a tour for a week singing in different parts of the south island. I played it at the back of the bus we travelled on the whole time over and over again. There were many requests from the kids to play it. The choir master was not impressed but all the kids in the choir loved it.
You are not alone in the Black sense, me too from age of 14 I am 62 now and me and about three friends all black only listen to rock, we filmed Kiss at the Omni in Atlanta with 8mm film took it home and played it on the wall listening to Kiss. Now a Die hard Rush fan RIP Peart, they opened for Kiss that night. Music is a rainbow of colors not just Black and White. If anyone Black gives you shit about listening to rock, ask them about looking at Tom Cruise, and all the other White actors movies. Rock on dude BTW Bush is the shit too.
Thanks Paul! This was great! I love hearing the back stories of songs. Please keep doing this. Love you and KISS forever! I'm 50 yrs old and started listening to your Detroit Rock City Vinyl album at at 8. It was my older brother's album. Bern a fan ever since. Raised my 14 yr old daughter up with listening to KISS so of course you are her favorite rock band now too. She's seen 3 shows and we were at your last one in Charlotte. Speaking of Love Gun....I remember the paper pop gun in my brother's Love Gun album. Wish he still had it. Stay Safe, God Bless♥️

I love hearing the stories and learning how songs and music come together from artists. Especially when it's one of my ALL TIME EVERY TIME FAVORITES !!! Mr. Paul Stanley... Kiss has been in my life since 1977, I was 5... My 1st concert in Houston, Tx. Love Gun Tour. I was terrified seeing all these people with painted faces walking around. I didn't have a clue about Kiss. My uncle and 2 cousins did. I was put on my uncles shoulders and then.. Explosions, smoke, fire, and the roar of the crowd. I almost squeezed my uncles head off when they hit the stage... Lol Kiss fan from the start and still to this day! I believe 4 or 5 shows since 1977...
Hi Paul, thanks for bringing us into your home, and sharing a very important message. We missed you guys in Australia during the last tour. Great video, cheers mate.
Sir, I have been a fan since the ‘70’s! Your music surrounds the best memories of my life. Love you and the band. I hope one day I can finally get an autograph. Love that guitar too. Be safe and well. MLLHR!
I was a 16 yr old kid from Pasadena and the first concert I ever saw, was KISS. It was at the LA Forum with 16,000 fans in 1976. My jaw dropped and I was forever a fan of live concerts and live music. Thanks Paul
Enlightened Rogue I saw Aerosmith at the Big “A” about the same time! I remember they were having some kind of technical difficulty at the start of Dream On. A pissed-off Tyler screams at the audience, “you didn’t want to hear that fucking song anyway”....the crowd started BOOING....
"Making the most of what I have, and forgetting about what I don't" As a 30+ year guitar player, (inspired by you and Ace), This is probably the best advice I have ever heard. Wish I had heard it when I first started playing, but I am taking it to heart now. Thanks Paul! Love ya Brother!
I saw Paul and the gang almost a month ago March 9 in my home town El Paso tx the man still got it awesome show Paul keep on doing these video there entertaining and we forgot for awhile what's going on in this world 🙏
Paul, thank you for the decades of great music that you provided KISS and music fans all over the world! I have been a KISS fan since "Double Platinum", which my Mom bought for me in the third grade. I have been to several great KISS shows over the years. My two most memorable concerts were: 1.) December 1987 Crazy Nights Tour - The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA; and 2.) May 1992 Revenge Tour - The Trocadero, Philadelphia, PA. People might think I am crazy, but I really enjoyed the non-makeup era of KISS. Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick were great additions to the band. Eric, in particular, was one of the great rock drummers of all time. He's sorely missed! Thank you, Paul!!

@@paulstanley6853 Dear Mr. Stanley, your very welcome. I am a musician too, but never really got a break..but one can hope. Wishing you all the best. mary.
He has a great feel. Very underrated, often just thought of as a singer. Great rhythm player and 2nd lead player doing all the great harmony parts. Detroit Rock City is one of my favorite harmony guitar parts and a very early influence. I still have the first 6 original vinyl albums from the 70’s. I remember sitting in my room at 13 in 1976 learning these tunes.
@@ckramer1964 .I took a dive out the windshield during a head on crash while jamming to Detroit rock city. damn we were so stoned but we also survived.
Been a fan since 1974!!! You always take time for us and I always loved that about you!! I am retired US Army living in Germany!! See you in Frankfurt, Germany 10 July
How fantastic is this? A personal lesson with one of the greatest. Thank you Paul and the rest of the KISS members for decades of fantastic music and entertainment.
So cool.. Used to hang out in Cunningham Park in Queens, that park was connected to my old school IS74.... Loved Kiss growing up cause they were the "local band"
Hell Yeah Paul! It's really cool to get u making videos like this talking 'bout stuff of your life. Keep doin' and we'll keep waiting for more... Thanks and Cya!
Not sure how this ends up in my RUclips algorithm, but this was surprisingly really enjoyable to listen to. I hate celebrity videos most of the time especially now with the virus, but this felt genuine and was interesting to listen to. Never thought I’d say this but thanks Paul Stanley.
I've met him, he isn't. I am an old kiss fan but he's a not, not at all. Enjoy the videos, I am but no he's not a nice dude, trust me. Read his book, he trashes everybody. Anyone. Period.
I love your songs, and every time I listen to them they leave me a great lesson. I hope you are always well and take good care of yourself wherever you are, I love you.
Paul, Over the years, Ive really grown to understand how you have always been the heart and soul of the band. Gene has been up and down but if not for you, kiss fades away at some point in your storied history. thank you for sharing this clip. stay healthy and keep doing what you do. loyal kiss army since 76... dg
Thank you paul for posting this little video ....been looking forward to it all day and you made my nite....cant go out since all the bars and restaurants are closed and going a little stir crazy but this actually helped....take care and I really hope to see you guys again in September...love ya
Wow Paul, you still got the magic in those fingers and the harmonies in your voice. Love every one of your songs, including Love Gun and God Of Thunder, classic masterpieces. You are and always will be our Rock N Roll brother. I hope you're okay and safe like the rest of us. And don't worry brother, you're not alone. KISS FOREVER!!! 😝🤘🏻🎸
After all these years, Paul still has the ability to play and sing. Ace’s skills, on the other hand, have seriously deteriorated and he’s just coasting off of past fame. To be honest, Ace’s guitar playing sounds pretty terrible. People still try to tell him his guitar playing is great, even though it’s extremely sloppy and virtually unlistenable compared to his playing in his younger days.
You can hear Paul's influences in his playing! 👩 📻📻 🎸 🔲🔲
4 года назад+1
Paul admitted he also loved The Yardbirds, one of Jimmy Page's bands before forming Led Zeppelin. Just off the cuff, my uncle when he was alive had a resemblance to Robert Plant (and he played guitar in a band before getting drafted during the Vietnam War). Just wanted to mention that.
I was born in 68. I have been a fan since probably 75. I saw you in 85...Eric Carr & Vinnie. It was my first big concert and never got beaten until I took my 2 daughters to see you in Toronto Last year! Thx For Doing This! We think of you all the time Paul!
Ya know, every once in a long long while, a "celebrity" actually knows their shit and knows what they're talking about. Very loosely a Kiss fan, but respect meter for Paul Stanley just went up infinite%. He entertained, he informed and all while I felt like I was listening to a well respected great uncle. Way ta go Paul, you're an angel.

oh shut up. This guy has no worries. He can afford to do this shit. It means nothing! If the guy really wanted to help people, he could donate $$$ to people who need it.
@@JimA-pp2nu , what have you done??? I have seen Kiss pay for a veteran's home. They do more than you think. Do your research before speaking otherwise, you come across as an uneducated knucklehead.
In addition to the fact that this pure, raw and above all beautiful recording of Paul gives us an interesting insight into the creation of songs and the way in which he composed them, this is above all a very clear warning to everyone who still does not take the COVID-19 seriously. what a great movie, Paul. Blessing to ya All!
This is awesome! Please do more! I would love to hear the stories about some of the deeper cuts as well like Mr. Speed, Magic Touch, Tomorrow, or Exciter. This could be a whole series! Thank you for this.
What a great guy, Paul Stanley. Thank you for all the music! I still remember the seat number from my 1977 concert in Louisville, Dec 12th with AC/DC! (Freedom Hall, section 220, row b, seat 11.) Saw you last year at Yum Center - bravo man, bravo!!!
Thanks for sharing Paul!!! Saw KISS the first time back in 1978 in Memphis Tennessee. One of the BEST concerts ever!!!!! Hearing those "riffs" brought chills!
Very encouraging Paul! Thanks so much for sharing important aspects of some your iconic songs and the common sense advice! Always my favorite Kiss member and just favorite people period.
Take notice people, what a class act as some of the other fine folks mentioned. No politics or bullshit from this man. Thank you Paul for the video and your positivity. pretty cool to say the least, didn't wake up today and expect to see Paul Stanley on here, Best wishes to you and your family.
Erik, I agree totally. Every time I see this guy interviewed, or whenever he pontificates on anything, even briefly he just speaks common sense and all so humbly. There's a reason he's still at the top today.
Paul- Such a great message, from such a respectable, and far-reaching role model!! I have seen many celebrities post similar messages lately, and as someone taking this situation seriously, I am ecstatic to see you urging your followers to take precautions as well!! We rock/metal-heads can be quite stubborn, so hearing it straight from someone like you goes a long way!! On another note, my wife and I were at your show for an overnight trip without the kids around a month ago, and it was just the best 24 hours we've spent in a long time!! The venue was great, the show was amazing, the surrounding area was great, and just when we were getting into our car to leave the hotel the next day, and things already couldn't get any better, we bumped into Gene!! All four of you, and your whole crew, and everyone involved just completely destroyed our expectations, and when you fellows come back to the states, my wife and I are already planning an even longer road trip, and will see you there!! Thanks again for everything!! BTW, I just started "Face The Music." : )
Nice one Paul....good messages and i love "Love Gun"....that was the first album i bought..I didn't know what the title meant when i was 12 😄but the music was great....and it wasn't my last Kiss album....that's for sure !! ...thanks for rock and the roll
Wow! Paul! ...you’r an inspiration! Always been a fan of how must energy you’v got. You’r the reason I start playing 🎸guitar and formed a rock band in early 80-81 ( I was then 13) This video upload you must continue!!!🤜🏻 so cool and intersetning to listnen to you and your 🎸story around your ideas and how songs started out! We all have to keep faith and hope for this «Corona times» to end! Wish a the best for all! From Norway🇳🇴
Thanks for still entertaining us even in these troubled times..makes staying in a little easier for those who can't get out of the house..and for those like myself that are truck drivers we may have to be out in this mess but we try to stay in the truck and mingle as little as possible ..and it's great to have something to keep us going as well.. So to the most one of a kind voice in Rock n roll ...thank u Paul
I’ve been listening to that song since the day I brought the new album home when I was 9. Now at 52, my life is a little more complete by hearing Paul tell this story.
I love Paul Stanley IM TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING HE CANT SING ANYMORE …. LETS SEE HOW GOOD THEY SOUND AT 68. HE'S STILL FREAKING AWSOME... THANKS 4 ALL YOU'RE HARD WORK PAUL.... YOU STILL GOT IT....
Love the video Paul. It is absolutely true what you are saying! Sucks but needs to happen to get through this difficult time in our lives! And keep on with all the years of Rockin the world with great Music! God bless America, and God Bless KISS!
Paul should do more of these I didn’t want it to end 👍👍
Totally agreed.
I'm with ya. Enjoyed it very much. 👍
Jacob Coughlin ... I Concur...
Agreed!!

No Paul, this isn't stupid, it's actually cool. This reminds me of VH1 "Storytellers". We love hearing the stories behind the songs. Please keep em coming!
I like it I was wondering how you guys wrote your songs thanks make more if you can
I agree...incredible gift
Thank you Paul. This was worth watching and very enjoyable
This is great if you followed Kiss as long as I have I love the stories behind the songs.
T- Boog agreed!!!!!
Who else is here 4 years later? 💗
Eu
Not me!
I'm also here 4 years later
It cannot be denied. Paul is one of the GREATEST ROCK SINGERS EVER! So oryginal voice color.
Totalmente de acuerdo
One of the greatest frontmen ever. Paul loved the camera and the camera loved Paul!
This guy stands up to test of time, durable and iconic.

the voice when he starts gave me chills I know it’ll never be 80’s Paul but I really love it rock on!!!!!
He seems to have come good again! No flip outs !
Felt the same mate.
80's?... 70's!!! 😉
Johnny Bravoski saw KISS in 79 had a blast
Johnny Bravoski Exactly. First album to Alive II. That was their best work
"Sometimes your limitations are your best friend." Great advice Paul. Embrace what you've got, right? Thank you.

I have to curb my enthusiasm.

@@ckramer1964 .I took a dive out the windshield during a head on crash while jamming to Detroit rock city. damn we were so stoned but we also survived.
Been a fan since 1974!!! You always take time for us and I always loved that about you!!
I am retired US Army living in Germany!! See you in Frankfurt, Germany 10 July
How fantastic is this? A personal lesson with one of the greatest. Thank you Paul and the rest of the KISS members for decades of fantastic music and entertainment.
Man watching Paul Stanley sitting alone talking and playing after being in front of millions is surreal to me. God bless you man!
So cool.. Used to hang out in Cunningham Park in Queens, that park was connected to my old school IS74.... Loved Kiss growing up cause they were the "local band"
Hell Yeah Paul!
It's really cool to get u making videos like this talking 'bout stuff of your life.
Keep doin' and we'll keep waiting for more...
Thanks and Cya!
Not sure how this ends up in my RUclips algorithm, but this was surprisingly really enjoyable to listen to.
I hate celebrity videos most of the time especially now with the virus, but this felt genuine and was interesting to listen to. Never thought I’d say this but thanks Paul Stanley.
a decent and humble guy in addition to being a legend and icon.
Exactly
I've met him, he isn't. I am an old kiss fan but he's a not, not at all. Enjoy the videos, I am but no he's not a nice dude, trust me. Read his book, he trashes everybody. Anyone. Period.
humble? lmfao
He's a good dude overall tho
Hi Paul your work is amazing I love it your voice is amazing I am a big fan
I love your songs, and every time I listen to them they leave me a great lesson. I hope you are always well and take good care of yourself wherever you are, I love you.
Paul - tell more of your song stories -- especially during these times - sharing boost morale big time!!!
Paul, Over the years, Ive really grown to understand how you have always been the heart and soul of the band. Gene has been up and down but if not for you, kiss fades away at some point in your storied history.
thank you for sharing this clip. stay healthy and keep doing what you do.
loyal kiss army since 76... dg
One of the greatest frontmen and a great message. Rock on Paul!
A real class act. Thanks for the great video, Paul; and thanks for all the music.
this was awesome and really helped a lot during lockdown - bless your good sense and grace during the pandemic
Thank you paul for posting this little video ....been looking forward to it all day and you made my nite....cant go out since all the bars and restaurants are closed and going a little stir crazy but this actually helped....take care and I really hope to see you guys again in September...love ya
Wow Paul, you still got the magic in those fingers and the harmonies in your voice. Love every one of your songs, including Love Gun and God Of Thunder, classic masterpieces. You are and always will be our Rock N Roll brother. I hope you're okay and safe like the rest of us. And don't worry brother, you're not alone. KISS FOREVER!!! 😝🤘🏻🎸
After all these years, Paul still has the ability to play and sing. Ace’s skills, on the other hand, have seriously deteriorated and he’s just coasting off of past fame. To be honest, Ace’s guitar playing sounds pretty terrible. People still try to tell him his guitar playing is great, even though it’s extremely sloppy and virtually unlistenable compared to his playing in his younger days.
We're here now Paul, that's the best PSA you have done!! Ready for another video, bring it Starchild 🙏
Paul has always been a huge Zeppelin fan, he refers to them in several interviews throughout the years
Both Gene and Paul were huge Zeppelin fans. The Zeppelin influence was much more obvious early on
who isn't loll
Who isn't?!
You can hear Paul's influences in his playing! 👩 📻📻
🎸 🔲🔲
Paul admitted he also loved The Yardbirds, one of Jimmy Page's bands before forming Led Zeppelin. Just off the cuff, my uncle when he was alive had a resemblance to Robert Plant (and he played guitar in a band before getting drafted during the Vietnam War). Just wanted to mention that.
I was born in 68. I have been a fan since probably 75. I saw you in 85...Eric Carr & Vinnie. It was my first big concert and never got beaten until I took my 2 daughters to see you in Toronto Last year!
Thx For Doing This! We think of you all the time Paul!
I converted Love Gun for 5 years and the crowds reaction was always fantastic! It's one of these Rock & Roll toons that will never get out of style 👌
Ya know, every once in a long long while, a "celebrity" actually knows their shit and knows what they're talking about. Very loosely a Kiss fan, but respect meter for Paul Stanley just went up infinite%. He entertained, he informed and all while I felt like I was listening to a well respected great uncle. Way ta go Paul, you're an angel.
Unique! Mr Stanley was not forced to do this. It came from his hearth.
He is a great entertainer and a Angel !
Hi Paul! Looking great as always.
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️
Please send me a mail via. Paulstanley076@gmail.com
This video helped me get through the pandemic, and I still watch it today. We need more of these if Paul ever gets the time.
Paul,
Thank you for sharing.
Nice to see you safe and well.
Robbie
The rock stars are still ‘fans’ always great to hear their stories and big thank you for continuing to entertain during this wretched time!! 🙏🏻💜
Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️
Please send me a mail via. Paulstanley076@gmail.com
You’re a great man Paul! Common sense thoughts that need to be followed. The guitar playing and singing was an added bonus. Thanks.
Paul Stanley just chilling and entertaining the people in these desperate times. Much appreciated Sir
oh shut up. This guy has no worries. He can afford to do this shit. It means nothing! If the guy really wanted to help people, he could donate $$$ to people who need it.
@@JimA-pp2nu Damn Bruh...tell me why you mad? Whatever he has achieved good for him. I just came for the music no bad vibes...
@@JimA-pp2nu , what have you done??? I have seen Kiss pay for a veteran's home. They do more than you think. Do your research before speaking otherwise, you come across as an uneducated knucklehead.
Jim A. Well said!!
I wish paul did more of this, it's cool seeing him just talking about songs and playing a little bit
Im a die hard Ace-fan, an original Kissfan... Thanx for the Covid-post and thanx for all the music
Love from Sweden 💖
In addition to the fact that this pure, raw and above all beautiful recording of Paul gives us an interesting insight into the creation of songs and the way in which he composed them, this is above all a very clear warning to everyone who still does not take the COVID-19 seriously. what a great movie, Paul. Blessing to ya All!
Thanks Paul! That was really heart warming.
This is awesome! Please do more! I would love to hear the stories about some of the deeper cuts as well like Mr. Speed, Magic Touch, Tomorrow, or Exciter. This could be a whole series! Thank you for this.
What a great guy, Paul Stanley. Thank you for all the music! I still remember the seat number from my 1977 concert in Louisville, Dec 12th with AC/DC! (Freedom Hall, section 220, row b, seat 11.) Saw you last year at Yum Center - bravo man, bravo!!!
Thanks for sharing Paul!!! Saw KISS the first time back in 1978 in Memphis Tennessee. One of the BEST concerts ever!!!!! Hearing those "riffs" brought chills!
Very encouraging Paul! Thanks so much for sharing important aspects of some your iconic songs and the common sense advice! Always my favorite Kiss member and just favorite people period.
Take notice people, what a class act as some of the other fine folks mentioned. No politics or bullshit from this man. Thank you Paul for the video and your positivity. pretty cool to say the least, didn't wake up today and expect to see Paul Stanley on here, Best wishes to you and your family.
Class acts don't run out on stage and lip sync...
Erik, I agree totally. Every time I see this guy interviewed, or whenever he pontificates on anything, even briefly he just speaks common sense and all so humbly. There's a reason he's still at the top today.
Thank you for sending this video. Take Care Starman!🎤🎸🎵🥁
I love that I can watch this with my kids...let the legend continue. Thanks xxx
Paul Stanley is such a soft-hearted human being! He is awesome!
Paul-
Such a great message, from such a respectable, and far-reaching role model!! I have seen many celebrities post similar messages lately, and as someone taking this situation seriously, I am ecstatic to see you urging your followers to take precautions as well!! We rock/metal-heads can be quite stubborn, so hearing it straight from someone like you goes a long way!! On another note, my wife and I were at your show for an overnight trip without the kids around a month ago, and it was just the best 24 hours we've spent in a long time!! The venue was great, the show was amazing, the surrounding area was great, and just when we were getting into our car to leave the hotel the next day, and things already couldn't get any better, we bumped into Gene!! All four of you, and your whole crew, and everyone involved just completely destroyed our expectations, and when you fellows come back to the states, my wife and I are already planning an even longer road trip, and will see you there!! Thanks again for everything!! BTW, I just started "Face The Music." : )
You're a legend Paul. Love this, it's so comforting. Love Gun was the first song I ever loved. Kiss Alive II changed my life.
Thanks Paul, everybody needs to hear and hear this message and coming from an eloquent man as Paul hit home here
Nice one Paul....good messages and i love "Love Gun"....that was the first album i bought..I didn't know what the title meant when i was 12 😄but the music was great....and it wasn't my last Kiss album....that's for sure !! ...thanks for rock and the roll
Watched it again Alway's good to see and To hear him See ya soon Paul 😊😉
Wow! Paul! ...you’r an inspiration! Always been a fan of how must energy you’v got. You’r the reason I start playing 🎸guitar and formed a rock band in early 80-81 ( I was then 13)
This video upload you must continue!!!🤜🏻 so cool and intersetning to listnen to you and your 🎸story around your ideas and how songs started out!
We all have to keep faith and hope for this «Corona times» to end!
Wish a the best for all! From Norway🇳🇴
One of my best Kiss songs! Glad to know he's down to earth, he seems so laid back. Thanks for the video Paul!
Thanks for still entertaining us even in these troubled times..makes staying in a little easier for those who can't get out of the house..and for those like myself that are truck drivers we may have to be out in this mess but we try to stay in the truck and mingle as little as possible ..and it's great to have something to keep us going as well..
So to the most one of a kind voice in Rock n roll ...thank u Paul
I’ve been listening to that song since the day I brought the new album home when I was 9. Now at 52, my life is a little more complete by hearing Paul tell this story.
What a great soul Paul Stanley is ..!
Legend! Such an amazing insight into the history of this song. Consider doing more of this, I’d watch for sure.
I LOVE this! After Take Me, my favorite "Paul songs" are Love Gun and C'Mon and Love Me. Looking forward to the next "episode." Thanks, Paul!
I love Paul Stanley IM TIRED OF PEOPLE SAYING HE CANT SING ANYMORE …. LETS SEE HOW GOOD THEY SOUND AT 68. HE'S STILL FREAKING AWSOME... THANKS 4 ALL YOU'RE HARD WORK PAUL.... YOU STILL GOT IT....
Great vocalist
This video put a smile on my face, stay safe
Love the video Paul. It is absolutely true what you are saying! Sucks but needs to happen to get through this difficult time in our lives! And keep on with all the years of Rockin the world with great Music! God bless America, and God Bless KISS!
Paul ''The starchild'' Stanley
{Greetings from Brazil}
I LOVE KISS
Very cool. Would love to hear these 'inside' stories, especially the song inspirations. Thumbs up.
“Sometimes your limitations are your best friend”... thank you for the continued inspiration!
One of the greats! Thanks for the years of music Paul!
Wise words. What a great and humble man Paul Stanley is. Please listen and take onboard.
