KISS “Detroit Rock City” Live on the Stern Show

[@johnmathis9289]

I am always amazed at how soft spoken Paul is until he switches into rock star mode. And how Gene can turn anything, ANYTHING, into a marketing opportunity!

[@rtgredtruck3059]

😂🤣

[@NecramoniumVideo]

Gene really was the first businessman of rock that was not in a manager position.

[@twoblacklabs904]

@@NecramoniumVideo … correct. And he was spotting talent (Van Halen), got them signed and “took them along for the ride…”

[@geraldjuvejr.6171]

True professionals. Whether playing for 5 people in a studio or 50,000 in a stadium. Definitely KISS!!!

[@davidepannone6021]

Yup. That's what stands up the most for me. They could easily play this shit in their sleep. Yet in front of some radio crew they put on a show as if they're playing in a stadium filled with 80k people. As you said, true professionals.

Love Paul's answer at the end. Of course he's not going to sound the same as he did when he was younger. I think he does a fantastic job at 70!

These are the same people that say “Kiss isn’t Kiss without Ace and Peter”…..things change. I have seen this band lately, and they are still great

[@brandonv4900]

Both ace and Peter were train wrecks. They would kick themselves our of their own bands. Not a hater, I love kiss, just a realist.

[@gregdunn6040]

Hell I am 51, blew my voice out years ago. I stopped singing altogether, just play guitar. So considering what he's done to his voice over the years I am amazed he can even talk.
