Paul Stanley is one of the smartest frontmen in rock and roll, and in general. I’ve been a fan since I was 9, am now 50. But he speaks honest truth here and that is so refreshing to see. I have massive respect for this man, and thanks Richard Marx for putting these out there. Love to all of you.
BTW, I’ve met paul 3 times and it’s always been a pleasure. Down to earth, just as you see him here.
How totally wonderful Paul Stanley is very intelligent and youthful looking himself. Him and Richard Marx together Magical❤
it is just...2 Gods if song..Speaking their thoughts...it's like they had dinner together and we had the priviledge of being there with them!
as a nurse in the middle of fighting the unknown..going to do a shift now...gives a sense of hope..Beyond music...wisdom is heart warming...THANK YOU!!
PLASTIC SURGERY ,DAH
Two mis informed celebrities
Paul does look young but dont think its all genetic. When you have his kind of wallet, you can work magic. They all get their blood purified. On hgh. Of course not smoking drinking or shootin up definitely helps.
@@Kgio-2112 look at his dad, he's 100 and looks much younger.
wow Paul is in great shape and he is so down to earth..I love Kiss as much as I love Richard Marx..Nothing will beat the music of the 70s/80s
I agree music in 70s n 80s was awesome
YES 70'S 80'S A MAGICAL TIME WISH I COULD FIGURE OUT IF I CAN STILL PLAY MUSIC IN 2020 ??????
@electra_ highway HAD SOME FACE WORK DONE BUT NO DRUGS AND BOOZE HELP.
@@DENIEL381 Paul never did drugs and alco
Great Shape and Lip Sync the entire Dead End Tour ,,,,
Thank you for sharing this conversation Richard Marx and Paul Stanley, What an absolute privilege to see..
Paul is one of the coolest and most intelligent guys in rockhistory. One of the greatest frontmans and singers ever, one of the greatest songwriters and a true gentlemen. A true idol and we all should look up to guys like him.
Paul Stanley is the nicest most down to earth man. He looks great!!!!! ❤️
119 Shows in 8 months ! For guys late 60’s and 70’s and the high energy show they put on, this is absolutely amazing. Credit to their outstanding conditioning.
Absolutely!! I saw one of those shows last summer and it was PHENOMENAL what they can still do all these years later. It was also a 2 hour show with at least 20 songs. There are bands half their age that are headliners also but will only do an hour and a half show at the most. The one thing that many people forget is that Kiss is one band that has been around for almost fifty years that has been an active band the whole time. There are many bands that have been around for a long time, but there are years in their history that they were not active on putting out albums and touring.
That's exactly the reason why Ace and Peter are not in the band. This Tour would never have happened with those two out-of-shape, lazy loonies.
Let's all just listen to "Forever" and "Right Here Waiting For You" and pretend it's still 1989!
My FAV!
Two grown men who care about the health of their country, their neighbors, their towns, and they happen to be accomplished music artists with loads of success over the span of their careers, are not afraid to give props to other fellow musicians, and they give you voice lessons on the side. Both class acts in my book.
As I’ve gotten older and know more about life when I hear Paul talk it shows his intelligence and how thought out his decisions are. All the people who are Ace and Peter or no kiss... if it wasn’t for Paul it couldn’t have lasted all these years. I like all those guys but Paul really seemed to be the rock in the middle of the rapids
Gene has stated on numerous occasions, Paul has always been the force that kept KISS going. He said Paul has chewed him out several times over the years. In the early 80's, when Gene was doing many other projects, Gene said Paul confronted him in the parking lot of a recording studio, "Do I have a partner or what?"
Yep, definitely on point with that comment.
yes right gene is about gene and all the women he had slept with and his money and peter and ace doing lord knows what and paul always been kiss with out paul no kiss
Beautifully put
Two great musicians that I both respect and admire having a real conversation. This was very pleasant to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Intelligent thoughtful discussion ... can we replace the news networks with you two?
This fake virus was created to lead you to be slaves was the only way to get Trump out of office was to tank the economy and they admitted that 4 years ago they wanted the last Bill Maher as CNN they wanted to tank the economy
@@tomcampbell5186
Guidelines from the Trump administration are what lead to the economy shutting down.
The economy was headed into a recession BEFORE the coronavirus hit.
Bill Maher is a comedian, he doesn't have the power to tank the economy and get the entire world to go along with it.
Trump will be voted out of office in November, we don't need to tank the economy to get him out.
You need help.
@@mypillowguy445 you're stupid.
I totally agree with you - common sense without any left or right leaning
@@tomcampbell5186 this virus was fake ? ! yeah so my mother-in-law'death last week was faked then? idiot!! ...wish they would fake a virus to get you off the internet
Two Class Acts. Guys you wish you could befriend. Not for the fame aspect, the realness aspect. Appreciate the vocal technique segment.
I am not a Richard Marx fan. But I do enjoy listening to Paul Stanley speak on subjects besides Kiss. To me Paul is one of the best entertainers. Not taking anything away from (Hot Legs) Rod Stewart.
New respect for Paul with the videos he has put out since this pandemic hit. And again during this interview he comes across as a intelligent caring guy. Cheers to him.
Whatever paul says. just makes dam good sense to me, hes wise, intelligent, down to earth and says it how it really is, you cant be any more honest than that!
Paul Stanley looks amazing!
Such a cool chat, informed, honest and real! On a side note, I'm so going to check out Soul Station... "Happy 100th birthday" to your Father Paul, an amazing milestone!!! Kia Kaha from New Zealand 🥝 🇳🇿
i'm from new zealand too and i've loved paul stanley since the age of 11, he will always be my number 1# true hero, god bless you paul kia kaha - be strong
As a vocalist/songwriter/vocal coach for well over 20 plus years now, ;-) I say this all the time. I love both of you so much. Two people have influenced my life in many ways for many years Richard. Thank you and stay safe. My Fiance and I were getting married on May 17th but it has been postponed. I needed this today.
Thankyou so much ,Richard Marx and Paul Stanley . We are all in this together. And your videos help me through this tough time so much.
This by far is the most intelligent conversation I've ever heard
Richard marx and Paul Stanley be safe and healthy and they are very good friends
V.G. friends or B.F.F.S??;-);-)
Butt buddies.
they can afford to be safe.
Great to see two of my musical heroes talking together and making so much sense :-)
My thoughts and actions during this pandemic are NOT influenced by CNN nor FOX. Rather, listening to and reading the experts. Stay Home, Take care. L💙VE U.
Neither are mine because I never watch cable news.
Even "experts" have an agenda. Take Fauci for example... what will it affect HIS life if the country's economy continues to be shutdown indefinitely?? ZERO!!! He'll always have a job so what does he care?? More people have died from other virus strains such as H1N1 etc... I don't generally subscribe to conspiracy theories, but they couldn't get President Trump with impeachment - so let's create hysterical madness to tank the economy which will make him (in their minds) lose re-election. I really don't put anything past those who want to destroy President Trump. They've been trying since he was elected... so do you really think this isn't just one more try??? I do. Look at the death rates thus far- it hasn't really lived up to the hype. Face it people - the powers that be (CDC, FDA, WHO, AND GOVERNMENT OPERATIVES WHO HAVE HAD POWER FOR DECADES) DON'T CARE ABOUT YOUR HEALTH.... they care about their own needs. President Trump has shed light on the corruption and they DESPISE him for it.
As far as Paul and Richard talking about the sadness of people dying alone without loved ones around... please... this happens everywhere, everyday, all the time. As a nurse I can say that's nothing new.
Paul is correct in that there are different agendas and spins and the truth is not necessarily always represented accurately. He is also correct that "the news" is now often opinion - not straight reporting. That is why now MORE THAN EVER it is incumbent on you to educate YOURSELF. Look at history and statistics and THEN form your OWN opinion. Do not be a sheep and simply take on SOMEONE ELSE'S opinion. This is part of being a responsible American - Freedom. If you only absorb and regurgitate what someone else tells you, then you are no better than a good little Nazi.
President Trump pulled funding from the clearly corrupt WHO. Do you know the backgrounds of the heads of such organizations? Do you know that the U.S. has been supporting the WHO for proactive protection and they (WHO) are more interested in covering up for China than caring about anyone else.
Maybe not a perfect analogy but would you pay (and continue to pay) for an alarm system in your home that didn't work? Uh...no. you'd research and re-assess your need and the ROI. That's exactly what President Trump is doing; as he should and ANY President should. That is his job.
Study and think for yourself. If you have no foundation of historical facts, your opinion means nothing. Question EVERYTHING. Yes, gaining knowledge can be frightening. It's so much easier to stay asleep and follow someone else. But America was founded by leaders, not followers.
"Scamdemic"!
K N you’re obviously on one side of the fence and not an independent thinker. Your statement contradicts your very words. Good luck and stay safe.
@@npkrn6764 I agree with you 100%
28.15 pauls face when asked about Steve tylers voice.....what a legend
he answered the question beautifully with his silence, he couldn't have done more damage if he tried!
Paul hasn't been able to sing in years lol
The truth is Paul dose not like no one he has bad mouthed everyone except TOMMY...........
What a very real, intelligent, and heartfelt discussion by essentially music legends. Clearly Paul has Dad's genes, eternally youthful.
Always loved Paul Stanley and Richard Marx too.
Love how Paul is confident, but also humbled!
Good evening Mr. Marx,
I really love all the interviews that you have with your friends. But this one with Paul Stanley definitely takes the Cake!👌👍 I can really relate to what you're both saying! You just got to love Paul Stanley and his point of views! If you're reading this Paul ... I really loved what you had to say regarding the voice performance, and as time goes by! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THAT TID BIT OF WHAT MAKES A GREAT SINGER PAUL ... UNDERSTANDING WHAT YOUR SINGING ... IS SO KEY!! It's not just a memorization thing!! You're so on point!! Very true, and very cool! You look and still sound amazing paul! As do you ... Mr. R. Marx!
Thanks for sharing Paul and Mr. R. Marx!
Awesome to hear about your Dad turning 100 Paul ... Very cool!👌
God bless you both and your families!💓

Absolutely!! Kiss is one band that has been active the whole time that they have been together. Most bands that have had a long career have taken breaks between albums and tours when Kiss never stopped . Paul Stanley's singing might not be as strong as it used to be, but for at least the first thirty years of the touring Kiss did , Paul Stanley's singing was phenomenal. There are many singers that did not have that staying power for even ten years of their career.
OMG! Paul Stanley!
Paul’s bedroom looks bigger than my first floor! Beautiful looking.
There are people who have just one floor :D
Anna Weberová Yes. I’m living the dream! 1,500 square foot bungalow. A floor and a basement! LOL
Great humble chat guys. I’ve followed you both in the 80s as musicians, but to see you both connect with us fans as people during a time such as this is so refreshing, insightful and engaging.
"Know the lyrics, know what you are singing about" - Paul Stanley, 2020 - That's the best advice a singer can give to another singer...
As a vocalist/songwriter/vocal coach for well over 20 plus years now, ;-) I say this all the time. I love both of you so much. Two people have influenced my life in many ways for many years Richard. Thank you and stay safe. My Fiance and I were getting married on May 17th but it has been postponed. I needed this today.
"Know the lyrics, know what you are singing about, never lip sync to your fans and rip them off, always give 100% every show" - Paul Stanley (1992 Interview Metal Edge Magazine) . Now don't get me wrong he still nails all of em except actual singing unfortunately. He WAS one of the best singer's back then but his voice is shot to shit and he lip sync's to 90% of the dongs,. Except for ya ,"HOW YA DOIN PEEEEE-POOOLE" and the ad libs.
@@GG-ju5mi Lip syncs to 90% of the dongs...Sounds like a euphemism. ; P
Thank you very much for this moment with you and Paul Stanley! It's a pleasure to watch you speaking together. As a french singer and songwriter you are both my musical influences!
From “Detroit Rock City” to “Endless Summer Nights”, that was awesome! Thank you, Gents!
Wow two great singers in this video thanks for sharing i'm fan Paul and richard love you re music love from the netherlands marian
What a lovely thing to watch and listen to.
People can say what they want about celebrities when they speak out about certain life's issues but I tell you.. When I do listen to certain ones anyway.. Such as my idol Paul Stanley..And I promise.. Not to be bias..but he spoke in such a compelling, elusive way that makes you really get engulf in his opinions. Props to Richard Marx as well. These 2 are class act which give each other the ultimate respect which I find so admirable to say least.
Loved the blatant advertising when Paul drunk out of the large Kiss mug. I laughed out loud. How to outdo Gene. Brilliant.
Paul you are SPOT on. And a lot of people's reality is based on "ME" when it should be based on "WE" as a society and as a whole. We can be better people just need to do it.
Paul Stanley still looks friggin young
Thank you!!! ❤️❤️to both!!
Two very intelligent, humble beings. Always loved their art.....now admire them as people even more. Class.
Marx is a stud and one talented cat. #1 hits in 4 decades as a writer or performer...saw him in Vegas once, just stellar. Stanley is a good guy....great Rock n Roll frontman and very articulate and thoughtful. VERY interesting discussion here.
Gene to Paul, "ya, I'll let you talk to Richard Marx, buy only if you flash your Kiss mug." LOL
Haa
Unfortunately Paul is the boss, not Gene. 🤷🏻♂️
Paul Stanley is so well spoken. What a great person.
WOW! TWO LEGENDS OF MUSIC!
And the one thing that still brings us all together is what you two have given us in spades is MUSIC. It transcends everything! And you guys brought us some of the very best. Thank you!
I've let everything go
Steven Tyler
Lets talk about rod Stewart lol
Awesome to get that out of Paul Stanley
Great interview
Holland Exciter why he did not wanna speak about steven tyler? Do they have a beef?
@@jurgen3404 I think Steven bad mouthed Paul and it's been that way ever since
Richard makes great conversation. He’s quite articulate and brought out a side to Paul Stanley that I hadn’t seen on video. At first, I wasn’t too sure about watching the whole video. After ten minutes, I couldn’t shut if off. Richard Marx is very casual and keeps the conversation flowing so well. Kudos!
Much better than cable news. By the way, I like seeing artists with different music styles respecting each other like this.
That was my first thought- musicians can respect each other regardless of style, it’s a wonderful thing.
I thank you for the insight even if brief of the down to earth nature of the both of you. Certainly blows away any pre concieved ideas I might have had before. God Bless both of you and your families and stay safe...
That was awesome, thanks for sharing Richard :)
Both of these guys look great. Good to see them. Fear sales guys.....it's crazy.
very wonderful to spend time with you guys. the Steven Tyler part was a belly laugh.
I appreciate Stanley and Marx taking the time to share their conversation... I'm a big KISS fan, being a teen in the 70s and seeing that mania as it happened is unforgettable. Having said that, it's frustrating listening to two guys sitting in Beverly Hills estates taking definitive positions on this. I agree with Paul in that this is serious virus that we must respect -- I'm also looking after my elderly parents and asking them not to venture outdoors if at all possible, and to allow me to see to their needs (groceries and/or anything else they need) -- but we're now at the point that the economic decimation for tens of millions of Americans is making it VERY hard to 'be 100% on board' with a national shutdown. I'm very fortunate in that I don't have financial concerns (nor am I in the same economic stratosphere as either of these stars), but there are people who are losing EVERYTHING, who do NOT have multiple homes in ELITE communities that carry NO MORTGAGE, who WERE paying obscene amounts of money for health insurance before they lost their job/business, who have average American obligations like a mortgage, car notes, groceries, utilities, and who are LOST right now. In being as respectful as I can be... it's relatively easy to sit in ONE OF your mansions (with no mortgage) with unlimited money, acres of space, unlimited toys to occupy your time, and most importantly, not a financial concern in the world regarding what happens when this lockdown ends. When this does end, Paul Stanley goes back on tour with KISS and makes multiple millions (and I don't begrudge him that WHATSOEVER), has ZERO healthcare concerns, no mortgages, no car payments, no ECONOMIC worries at all. So, the people who are not completely on board with Stanley's 'everybody has to be 100% on board,' position, I think, are well within their rights to be skeptical of this process. I did NOT say they should be skeptical about the virus -- again, that is very real and very serious for some people -- but NYC and Seattle are NOT like much of the rest of America, and commerce HAS TO start again soon.
Richard Marx looks like a cross between Charlie Sheen and Michael J Fox.
LMAO. Best YT comment in years.
LOL!!!!!! I never saw it until now . He really does. Now I will always see it that way.
He appears to be wearing a wig.
The Cottage LOL!! Ok, ok......I see it now, you’re right. LOL!
Both men seem to be in really great shape. Inspiring to see. 70's and 80's rock didn't destroy these 2 men.
For real, two of my favorite male singers just sitting on their sofas shooting the breeze has to be the best thing about my quarantine thus far. Stay safe and healthy, both of you!
Two amazing icons. Love you Paul
Great conversation between two of my favorite artists /singers /composers. Thanks for posting it! Greetings to both from Patagonia, Argentina
Back in the 80s we had “Melting Pot”. Today everything evolves around “Political Correctness”.
Very true
LOL
Back then I had this feeling of “Man we are finally passed this racial and discrimination thing” fast forward 30 yrs I was wrong unfortunately 😔
Thank you both for this.
Can you imagine a world that has these sorts of people in charge instead of the hate mongers that control it at present?
Genuine people with genuine views. Refreshing in todays seemingly expanding pool of toxic mob mentality.
As a big kiss fan, I feel very privileged to know that one of my favourite people is still grounded.
Thank you both again.
Stay safe. Be happy.
Paul, despite what anyone says, your voice is still amazing, different but just as great.
I agree i think he has had to learn how to control how he sings some songs to make it work for him, & he does quite well, i saw the video he did singing Every time i look at you & i was like i gotta hear this to see how it sounds & i was quite surprised how good it sounded.
I think this pause from touring is doing his voice good.
Steven Peltier I remember ozzy osbourne was having vocal problems for a while. He took a break and when he went back on tour, he didn’t sound perfect obviously considering his age, but he sounded better than he did before.
Paul's voice in the eighties was the very best of the very best
If only we the people had social distancing from the government
I am not a (musical) fan of either Richard or Paul. But, I have to say that both are extremely reasonable and caring people. Very impressed.
Sometimes this social distancing makes me feel oceans apart, day after day. And I slowly go insane.
aahhh, very witty. Be honest how many times have you checked to see if anybody got it and responded. lol. good on you Camille. have a great day and stay safe!
@@stormfield9431 💀💀💀💀
Thanks for sharing. My true idols, not only very talented artists but also smart persons. Please come in Italy as soon as it will be finished this nightmare.

Great conversation. Don't quite get Paul's refusal to answer the Steven Tyler question. If they have personal issues, it doesnt take away from how good Stevn still sings which was Richard's point
Yeah. It's kinda pathetic. But that's Paul. Part of the reason why I can't stand him anymore.
I like Richard, paul. Not so much! Lmfao
Eisen is a wanker
I really enjoyed this. Nice to see Paul like this as opposed to when he's in interview mode with his pre planned responses.
On our next episode of Rich Guys in Isolation.
Sounds like you're jealous. Someone else is successful, and you're not.
Great to see two music icons talking like 2 old friends. Very cool 😎👍!
This was so much more interesting than I expected it to be.
Paul. Saw you at the last concert in Cleveland and I love you. You look and sound great. Big fan. Rock on
I just wonder who "some people" are. I love how they try to dance around their own political agenda while criticizing others.
I used to be a Richard Marx fan but he spreads to much hate for me these days. 🤷♂️ Mostly on his social media.
Interesting, intelligent and a very civilized discussion between two musicians and friends. No drama here, just good old fashioned talking between people...
Amadeus, amadeus! Is he related to Falco. I cannot believe how young he looks, amazing.
Paul seems like a very nice down-to-earth person. Richard of course YOU are too. I was a guest in your house as a crew member with "The Professor of Rock" a few years ago and you were very gracious. Thanks for this wonderfully candid conversation!
I love Paul but was smiling when the voice thing came up. Obviously Richard doesn't know he lip syncs. Yes he does Paul fans and there are many vids on youtube proving it.
There are many Kiss fans that don't understand why there are so many giving Paul such a hard time about him lip singing. Years ago he would criticize every band or artist that did lip sing big time. He even said that Ace Frehley and Peter Criss should quit the music business since they can't perform anymore like they used to. He was very harsh on all these people years ago , and now he is doing the exact same thing but it is ok for him to do it. That is why Paul is getting such a huge lashing from many Kiss fans. He used to say that bands should call it a day when they no longer can do a live show properly. If he wasn't as harsh as he was about it, he would have never got the abuse he did these past few years.
Love to see him, Smart and in his own self and yes! He is looking great and young 👌🌹💕
Paul Stanley just repeated what I’ve been saying about 24 hour news for YEARS
Wow, I was raised on both y’all in the 80 and 90’s. So thank you both for so many memories attached to your songs. Thanks for not being devisive in your discussions. I’ve heard enough arguing and conspiracy theories from the political world. It’s nice to see my idols from my younger days are just like me. Be blessed.
Marx, "You know who's still a great singer in his 70's, Steven Tyler." Stanley, "Let's talk Rod Stewart." LMAO
why did he do that?
@@cezarmaatubang8236 I don't think he gets along with Tyler. Maybe after the tour they had??
You are so right! It’s refreshing to hear people preaching the TRUTH❤️❤️❤️
There's no one that can tell me that's not Charlie Sheen... lol!
This is so Awesome. I've been watching Paul perform for us on RUclips from Home. I think it's just awesome. So Thank You Paul for that. I've been enjoying it.

paul drinking from a kiss cup...27.25
and it's a gigantic cup lol
Classic! 😆
Gene told him too and he tells Paul to shop with a Kiss Shopping bag ....all for mighty Dollar
Great to see two music stars talking and sharing sanity. We all know how it all ends. Eternity is our destiny. God bless all!
News, should be education, not agenda!
Never was the biggest KISS fan going up but did see them live once and it was magic... Paul Stanley's first solo album was awesome the same goes with Richard Marx...I played the hell out of "Rush Street" when it came out. I must say one of only shining lights during this horrid crisis facing the world is Paul's informal talks about music and life and this conversation...just real talk between peers and their perspective of life and the way of the world. Thanks for sharing.
Two intelligent Jewish guys tell you how it is.
Looks like he's wearing a rosary!!
Marx is a Jew ? Oh I didn’t know that.
Is he religious ? I thought he kinda wasn’t ? Not sure though.
Hellvis What the hell does their religion have to do with anything?? 🤦🏼♂️ especially in the context of this discussion? And that is not a Rosary that Paul is wearing.
It great when artists are willing to be open and honest about the reality of aging, especially from two guys with decades of experience. 👍🏻
Weird that Paul didn’t want to talk about Steven Tyler’s voice. Odd actually. Tyler’s voice has held up better than almost anyone on earth at age 72. Sammy Hagar would also be right up there.
Dan mc caffertys voice is still strong
Biff your still belting it out
Biff Bifford Sammy sounds fantastic these days!
It's because Tyler is a woman
Kiss and Aerosmith toured together back in '03 and it was not a good scene. The two bands did not get on very well. Then Tyler did an interview several years later basically dissing Kiss. Paul reacted with some choice comments of his own. So yeah, you won't be hearing any praise about Steven Tyler from Paul Stanley.
Paul, thanks for your insight. Now I know why I've been your fan for 43 years
Is it just me or does Richard look strangely like Corey Feldman?
Thank you Richard, for having Paul Stanley on the Isolation Chamber ⭐
Dude: Steven Tyler is still amazing!!
Like Sammy Hagar.
And thank God because they just don't make 'em like this anymore.
I agree totally. Paul happy birthday to your dad. I have tickets for you and DLR in august at A/C Richard my wife and I saw the 2 Dicks tour lol it was awesome in Montclair. My mom passed on the 6th of the month alone in a nursing home of COVID, it was a horrible thing, dying alone. Thanks for you opinions and hopefully we get through this and people can just leave the politics out of our lives and concentrate on saving them. Thanks !
