PAUL STANLEY - Don't Let Go

Audio: Paul Stanley's publishing demo, circa 1987
Video: a selection of Paul's paintings
Notes: I don't own any rights on the music and/or the images, I'm just a big fan. ;-)

[@fernandogonzaga2373]

We need a Paul's album where we can find greats lost songs like this.

[@pier67]

I completely agree!

[@boytavibes218]

year after year, I keep coming back for this demo

[@pier67]

That's just nice to hear! It's a great tune for sure. I'm craving for a Stanley's box set, hopefully cheaper than Gene's one, haha! Thanks for stopping by! ;)

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

I've never understood: How can this man have so much beauty in him: 🎶🎨✍️💃💋.... He makes the world a more beautiful place. Paul ❤

[@alanmartin42]

paul fucking rocks im a huge starchild fan rock on paul we all love you forever

[@DiaFeliz96]

His voice is so AMAZING!!!!

[@omarvillarreal3850]

It would've been real nice if he had recorded this for the LIVE TO WIN album!!

[@GorditoCrunch343]

Y'know... I can see this being a great Disney song at some point. (Don't mistake that as me hating the song, because I love almost all of Paul's demos. Dude was one of the best songwriters back in the day.)

[@pier67]

Totally agreed! :D

[@joussefc.j.overmaat3994]

If you listen closely to this song, ( the way KISS played this song) You get the feeling this is one of the songs that didn't end up at the Crazy Nights Album ! just like these songs, "Dial L For Love", "No Mercy", "Sword and Stone", "Are You Always This Hot", "Best Man For You", "Time Traveler", "When Two Hearts Collide", "Jump The Gun" and "Nightmare".

[@williamcurry1132]

do you have any demos of the above mentioned ???

[@joeymiddleton890]

Dail L For Love was an Eric Carr song if I remember correctly.

[@kissfox5]

@mizukimuneda It's one of the sexiest songs ever written! Paul is my all-time favorite male singer and songwriter. I'm sitting here thinking how cool it would be if he did a box set of his music that's never been published. Obviously we all love the bootlegs enough to risk damage to our ears with their low-quality/high-shrill sound. I love them all in whatever shape we fans can get them. Would love to see your I A L T tshirt. It sounds cool that you made one for the song!!

[@Rickberg1966]

This is the kind of stuff that Should Have been on their box set they put out a few years ago , it was a cool box set but very basic, cuz they have tons of cool demos they could have used

[@Dinokreechur]

Holy crap PAINTING GOALS

[@heathermurphy4423]

beautiful

[@mariarios3132]

I LIKE ALL ...

[@quelorocksxeneize426]

puede ser diferente disstinto variar el estilo pero no hay mala musica si sale de la mente y la voz de paul stanley

[@pier67]

@joediver1119 - I agree with your point of view, but, according to my sources, this song was never intented to be a KISS song. It was part of a publishing demo, along with other three "gems", directed to other artists for record. At that time it was rumoured that Paul was gonna produce and/or collaborate with Cher, and these demos were probably intended for her. Unfortunately, they remain unreleased and the Paul-Cher duet remains just a dream... of mine, at least! Thanks for stopping by ;-)

[@christinegatto7426]

I can hear Cher singing this one.

[@deralmighty8011]

WTF wasn't this ever officially released? This is beautiful!

[@pier67]

Hi. This song was part of a "publishing demo", in hope to generate interest in other artists to record his material. It was a common practice, back then. Paul probably had never thought of using it for himself or the band. Thanks for your comment + have a nice day.

[@Nic1973KISS]

Sounds like Bruce on the solo. Awesome song.

[@joeymiddleton890]

I agree. It was totally Bruce Kulick solo from that time period.

[@MarioRenor]

Besides this one, Paul prepared "Time traveller" and "When 2 hearts collide". All incredibly great songs. I have the same doubts you have about why such a great material is still unreleased. Maybe because he doesn't know our opinion! How could we let him know?

[@Nic1973KISS]

[@bkeener86]

@mizukimuneda write him trust he does read them but write from the heart & soul.

[@pier67]

@mariorenor "How could we let him know?"... Oh, gosh, I wish I know how to do that! Anyway, on the matter of releasing songs... We (the fans) all have our favourites and an artist has his as well. To make you an example: one of my all time favourite songs is I'm A Legend Tonight (from KILLERS, 1982) and, in the book "Behind The Mask", Paul said he hates it!! When I read that I wanted to tell him "Are you freakin' nuts?! The song is amazing and I EVEN MADE A SHIRT TO HONOR IT!!!" So... :-)

[@Rickberg1966]

@mizukimuneda Damm 9 Years how time passes quickly

[@pier67]

@ilovepaulstanley2 No, sorry. Never officially released, it's available on a number of bootleg-cds. And the sound's quality is just as you hear here, so... don't buy anything! ;-)

[@pier67]

@alanmartin42 You can easily find it on a number of bootlegs. The ones I have (with this song and other demos) are: YOU CAN'T ESCAPE HIS KISS (which mainly features Paul's stint in The Phantom Of The Opera) and GOLDEN TRASHES.

[@pier67]

@Rickberg1966 I totally agree with you. That box was just the tip of the iceberg. And it's already 9 yrs old... so: Time For A New One??! ;-)

[@lemansautomotrizyproscaner7818]

I WANT THIS SONGS ??!!!!!

[@pier67]

@KissFan1997 I wish I knew... There's so much stuff that they don't use!

[@yoyoma989]

MUST be on a record FFS, put it out.

[@pier67]

+yoyoma989 It's already out on a number of bootlegs. I think it will never published officially... Not by Paul, at least. What's "FFS", by the way? :-)

[@GorditoCrunch343]

It stands for "For Fuck's Sake". And now you know :)

[@laughinghour01]

sounds like a demo for one of his songs on live to win

[@justincase2271]

Those hearts look like big butts.

[@mariajulitacaro5086]

Si haría ina crítica sobre tus acrícilicos ; algunas se destatacan son subrrealistas aceptables ; no todas pintar require imaginacion y tècnica ;. ❣ 👏. 😉

[@pier67]

@kissfox5 Just give me an address so I can show you the t-shirt. Thanks for the comment; you are so right. :D

[@chrisi123]
