Home & Family - KISS Frontman Paul Stanley on his Rock & Roll Stardom

[@crispychickenmcdo]

I can listen to him all day. I am so amazed to Paul Stanley, all of his words are pure of knowledge and wisdom. I love the way he speaks about life and every word that comes out in his mouth means everything.

[@thematt5325]

Since I was a kid I always admired his thoughtful, intelligent answers in interviews.

[@doug9172]

KISS fan all my life. But, Paul is a singular class act. The guy just has class.

[@232323C]

and his stuck up condescending attitude? and the poor me narrative with the one ear....awww

[@Gretsch0997]

“When you play the victim, the only person who’s compromised is you” Wow! I needed to here that

[@euanelliott3613]

He's battled through so much and he made it. A true survivor.

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

Bless you Paul for talking about microtia and your youth. As an uncle of a young girl with Goldenhar Syndrome, your words were heartening.

[@jonstreng7850]

His adaptability is great. What a wonderful quality. An incredible difference between than and now. It's tough to imagine these guys on a show like this back in their 70's heyday.

[@micheljansen8301]

Paul has always been a class act,loves playing music,doesn't give a shit about stuff around the band,a real performer,a true rocker.

[@dr.pendyke4887]

Agreed, he never went off the rails like Peter and Ace or lost focus like Gene. He has been the rock, pun intended.

[@melissatucker179]

paul stanley is so cool. I remember buying his solo album back in the 70s.I was around 10 years old.I just thought he was hot with his make up, and the star on his eye.I would dance to his music.lol... but anyway I just want to say paul didn't let his ear stop him from fulfilling his dream of becoming a rock star. good job....

[@charlottehumphreys3837]

Paul Stanley is the kindest and probably the most loved rock singer ever!

[@cathythomas3933]

I love Paul Stanley, I always knew he was hot under all that make up.

[@prissypants2336]

What a great guy. I grew up thinking Kiss was a devil worship group. So I steered clear. Now I'm 55 watching these interviews and these men are intelligent music loving, and successful. I applaud them for ignoring people like me with silly narrow minds. Entertainment indeed!

[@vadaminot429]

🙄😁😂

[@nazareschwenck5340]

You changed your mind so.

[@christrudell7966]

One of the greatest frontmen in rock history

[@zoricavinkovic8476]

Yes the best oll time

[@dewdew34]

After listening to many bag on Paul i decided to watch a few interviews with him and must say i'm impressed. Seems like a thoughtful down to earth guy.

[@lyndatruitt4245]

Paul Stanley is very inspiring he makes you wants to get up and do things ,that you been putting off

[@cygnusx-1318]

I don't know why I find this guy inspirational. Maybe it's the plain talking. But I really like listening to him.

[@smc130]

I’m so glad he’s talking about having a birth defect. My daughter adores him. She’s 50 and has hydrocephalus. Her life has been lonely. When she watched this video she loved him even more now that she knows they have something in common. Thank you Paul.

[@rockthesix7393]

Paul has been cool since day one.

[@DunmoresMovieMania]

"Well, I just looked at him, I kinda laughed, I said, 'Hey man, I am cool; I am The Breeze.'"

[@taywear1887]

Well duh

[@mpublic4474]

40 years is amazing , what an evolved person. thanks for inspiring so many people

[@natalieradford6214]

Thank you Paul, for never giving up on your dream.

[@jerrymarlow5453]

Paul is hands down my favorite rhythm guitarist of all time. He is also one of the greatest front men and singers.

[@berniecasey7592]

Who couldnt love this guy - hes very smart, I love you paul since 1979

[@glenbellefonte9620]

No other like you, Paul. I relish Kiss from '73 to '76. And your at the top with the greatest front men in the history of rock. Thanks for helping me through school.

[@monazcoolirani]

what a down to earth guy compared to many celebrties nowadays

[@IwasBlueb4]

yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss i was very impressed

[@jonstreng7850]

Perhaps one of the best mannered rockers. Always carefully thinks before he speaks plus does his best to honor every question. It's so neat hearing their thoughts away from the stage. I began to see the real Paul during the convention interviews. He knows that the fans matter not the criticism from writers.

[@barbarasteward5864]

Paul Stanley is a very wise and well spoken gentleman. What a journey he overcame and became s legendary musician with the famous band KISS. What a lovely family. Thanks for the video. It's nice to see another side ither than a rock musician.🥰☺ 8/6/21

[@countvond233]

A great book. Recommended. I know a couple of people who met him in the early 80's and they said he was a complete a-hole - one even called him that to his face. Read the book and I understand why he was that way. He dug deep and really worked on himself. Of all the books by each member, his is head and shoulders above the rest.

[@ronchilled]

Exactly

[@keithsa41]

THANK-YOU PAUL FOR 40 PLUS YEARS OF KISS ROCK N ROLL.. GOD BLESS!

[@jerridombrowski6017]

He's so well spoken

[@knk4ever83]

very intelligent man. .love you paul!

[@Voxboy876]

This man is the quintessential "Rock Star".

[@ironblud]

Paul Stanley: the only reason KISS still exists. Look at their albums without make up. Paul had the songs, the drive, the passion. If he never pushed or cared they would have died in the 80's/90's.

[@vadaminot429]

They did actually!

[@willcathell]

He speaks so well

[@v-town1980]

Love these guys. Though the original members may have their differences and even bash one another, I love what is/was KISS. I also enjoy the positive, kind comments here for Paul. So many vids have bitter folks saying terrible things about the members, but these comments are refreshing. These men started with nothing and built a musical empire from hard work, fun, energy, and great R'n'R music.

[@bigwillietheb]

Paul is so down to earth

[@angeloreyes357]

Paul is always pleasant to watch on an interviews..he'd always say something words of wisdom..not your typical rockstar..theres always more to him than meets the eye..very talented and wise!

[@robinbrl]

Very articulate and well spoken person. I do admire him. He has a lot of good advice. I was born with Turners Syndrome, and I relate to so much that Paul has shared. I stood out, I had trouble being around people. What has shocked me the most is that he was still able to perform in spite of his ear deformity. Keep rocking Paul.

[@AudiophileTubes]

He looks GREAT! Rock legend extraordinaire!

[@rosedeluia2085]

Great interview. Very honest man. He's so intelligent. I never knew he was born with a severe disability. He truly has overcome many obstacles in his life, making him a true rock legend. He truly persued his dreams. What a great humble man. Love Paul.💞

[@vinniestvincent3112]

Paul Stanley's solo 1978 is awesome

[@jackalguitars]

Vinnie St Vincent thats how I turned out to NOT be a prick My dad was that way

[@mickeykmiller]

I remember hearing of his microtia in the 80s...so no.

[@barbaravance6774]

@@mickeykmiller I dodn't hear about it at all until his book. But, he overcame that hurdle.🤘

[@tcconnection]

This is so good. So right about folks who pretend things don't exist and don't deal with stuff.

[@debrahalle2568]

I love Paul❤️ He is very loving and caring. A well spoken man🎸✌️

[@debrahalle2568]

And he is still HOT✨✨✨✌️

[@billjannusch]

Paul Stanley is one of my all time heroes and favorite lead singer/guitar playing frontmen. I've been an obsessed life long KISS fanatic!!

[@Sarastarlight100]

Me To.

[@vinniestvincent3112]

a true legend

[@allenkendall3412]

Amen to that bro!

[@bessiemorris5282]

Paul Stanley is so beautiful on the inside and outside he is very intelligent he has a beautiful family he is truly blessed I'm so happy that he is doing so well he's well deserving of his wealth I love Paul and always will Paul this message is for you if you ever read it you are one of my favorite rock stars I love to hear your stories and I want to wish you a long and healthy life you really mean the world to me and all of your fans God bless you paul

[@johnnyrotten5507]

gosh........the words that he uses in 1:20 - 1:22 is so true and scary. He is an amazing inspiration for myself....and am 46 years old

[@barbaravance6774]

I agree 100%!!! So, many people play the victim and really haven't got shot to bitch about. Everything is someone else's fault or they have some damn excuse. I have followed KISS ever since I heard them on a jukebox in Germany at age 8 or 9. There music and interviews inspired me to be a better person, to have fun but work hard!

[@BromDotCom]

Love this guy. Just awesome.

[@moteleyes2]

I totally love this man. He is so awesome......... ❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍❤😍

[@LeMcCHarStar4ever]

He haaaaaaaaaaaates the rock n' roll hall of fame. I'm not saying he's wrong, but he does not hide that fact what-so-ever. Anyways, love him! LOVE KISS!

[@rcjr.7725]

Paul Stanley is a very intelligent humble grateful human being Class Act

[@beatlemyn]

"That's a big finish...so to speak." Brief awkward silence from co-anchor. Love it. The Starchild is still my favorite!

[@vadaminot429]

🤣

[@drewwerts7711]

I remember in 74 taking my open and close stereo. Around 7-8 years old taking the speakers off and holding them close to my ears and turning up as loud as possible and playing Kiss. Back in the day they never performed without their makeup. Love this guy. Paul Stanley is awesome. Still in the Kiss army. I remember staying up late to see their tv show.

[@teddyleather9079]

WHOS COUNTING ??? GENE!!.....$$$$$

[@littleteethkeith]

Lol

[@avargaszzy]

He's truly amayzing😊he is my hero☺️

[@oaguilera81]

What an interesting person is Paul. Such a cool guy

[@jessegale229]

paul is my hero! always will be

[@silentwhisperstudios7808]

First band I've ever seen in concert. 1979 Dynasty tour The Cow Palace , SF , Ca.

[@antneyfatts665]

The best interviews i've ever seen, are those of Paul Stanley or Paul McCartney. Classy, funny and more than anything, down to earth.

[@AngelDec1969]

Great interview and its always nice to see this side of Paul

[@waderichards1365]

An amazing front man......one of the best.....saw kiss when they started..yes they ruled the rock world....Fact....Amen

[@gabrielabarros3739]

He is so amazing , i love him

[@mavila7482]

Id like to see a movie about them one day

[@OchoComics]

Had three brief chats with him over the years- always was great!

[@oaiindianz70]

Awesome, Thank you Paul!

[@lindabarbagiannis8554]

Such a highly intelligent human being and great musician ❤️

[@thoule204]

One of his best interviews!

[@anne-kristinklement24]

I am so Glad that Paul s life is so good and that he have such a Beauty ful Family i wish you all the best and wonderful day together

[@tonyjones1560]

Those boots! I've tripped over my own feet in bedroom slippers...more than once...

[@BeatlesBowieKrimson]

I can barely name a KISS song but I enjoyed reading his (and Peter Criss's) book.

[@luzfigueroa1550]

Love ❤️ Paul Stanley.

[@Mark-um5hc]

Paul is very interesting. I have most certainly learned a lot from Gene and Paul.

[@richardcaldwell3225]

Whilst Peter Criss is my fav member of Kiss.......i will say with love and respect Paul Stanley is the MOST intellectual member of this band.....if Peter wasnt singing a tune...i always looked to Paul's songs as i always felt that his songs were more filled with melodies...and very beatles...in order of preference of the original line up.....Peter...Paul.....Ace......Gene...

[@kjnuminous7224]

The Starchild!

[@Dargyful]

Can relate to how he was raised . Fantastic interview

[@MrGibo2000]

Very likeable Guy !!

[@trentstroupe8130]

A true class act. Exactly how a rock star should conduct themselves

[@timepoet77]

I actually saw this on Hallmark last year. Very inspiring.

[@flyme2themoon720]

Advise I needed to hear at this moment..his intelligence amazes me..thanks paul

[@brianchandler341]

Paul . life is too short . dont be too hard headed . Give Ace & Peter a call . Strike up a friendship again . Ace is rocking these days with the Space invader album . Paul best wishes

[@MrKjohnson123]

+Brian Chandler ,I saw them in 2000. Time to move on.

[@grantorino2009]

+Ken Johnson Yes. You are right. I've seen the band 21 times. The only time I ever cringed or saw a less than stellar performance was with Ace in Memphis in 2000. He was obviously drunk again, couldn't hang his guitar on the hook to have it taken to the overhead rig during his solo. It was so beneath KISS. That night, I knew Ace only cared about Ace, not the 18,000 people in attendance, and that when he moved on, the band was all the better for it.

[@MrKjohnson123]

I agree.Only twice have I seen Ace play worth a flip since the 70s.

[@ericcooley38]

Brian Chandler ï

[@ricflairslastdoobie7605]

Wow, I was 9 when that tour was going on and wished my parents had taken me to the Pyramid. Kinda glad they didn't now though hearing that lol

[@richardlawson6787]

Forty five years standing in front of those amps...with one ear....it's amazing he can hear at all

[@TommyFlanagan666]

Unless he is a better actor-and I’ve seen KISS Meets the Phantom of the Park😉😉-than I have been led to believe, Paul is one of the happiest and most well adjusted celebrities I can think of right offhand. Always enjoy his interviews. And I always enjoyed watching Home & Family, it was a good show.

[@sherwinsalvatori6997]

What a well dress , spoken man. Great advice Paul giving

[@AnaLucia-dw2rr]

oh I love you paul stanley hea is the great est você of rock roll

[@ltmatthis7884]

Totally Awesome Paul Stanley Really telling about his growing up, & with his right ear defect, & Paul Stanley Rose Above with in himself. The Star Child Paul Stanley Rocks, & a great TV show interview .

[@brutonano9521]

Every interview I see of him is so based and wise.

[@scottmathews4]

Of all the kiss solo albums Paul and aces rocked the hardest

[@jeffl977]

Say what you want about KISS's music - sure, it's bubble gum rock and geared for stadiums hits, but I think Paul's a straight-shooter. I respect where he comes from....I have a rare skin condition and parts of my body look like I was in a motorcycle accident - so for example you'll never see me wearing shorts. Not so much out of embarrassment, but I know it can be off-putting for others to see it. But when I was younger, I was hugely self-conscious. It takes a lot to learn to live with it yourself, let alone to stop letting what others think bother you.

[@barbaravance6774]

Very true!

[@vadaminot429]

Does 🌞 help with that or make it worse??☹️

[@PCTubone]

I love this guy. Humble statements, great 👍

[@Robertaenir]

I Just Love Paul 😍😍😍😍😍

[@dianetuck1978]

What can I say, he is precious. I can hardly stand it.

[@sidecaster]

Best front man in rock & roll
