Paul Stanley on future of KISS, Gene's best trait, & life lessons

[@ChrisJaros]

The best thing about this interview, aside from it being with my favorite musician ever, is Allison asked questions I had never heard asked before and it only made Paul even more human and amazing to me. I'm not at all impressed by celebrity, but getting to see and hear more of the human side of a man loved by millions around the world is refreshing and, in Paul's case, very inspiring and uplifting. Best interview I've seen of any kind in a very long time.

[@AllisonHagendorf]

Kiss were awesome in that period, but a little band out of Liverpool made some noise for about 8 years from 1962-1970. I'd rank the Beatles as the most innovative band ever. They like Kiss have their detractors, but you can't deny their impact.

Allison... WOW! That was beyond awesome. I am 61 and have been following KISS since 1976. I saw them 17 times up to the 2019 show in Philly. I brought my daughter (19 at the time) to that end of the road show. She liked the songs as a kid and finally wanted to see what all the hoopla was about from her dad (me). After years of bragging, we saw the show in Philadelphia. They literally blew up the stage and sounded great. My daughter was speechless on the way home from the show. When I asked her what she thought, the only thing she said was... "I just witnessed a living legend." She was more thrilled than I was. She has been a concert photographer for 7 years, and she still says to this day that seeing KISS was one of, if not the most phenomenal, shows she has ever seen. Her only regret was not being able to photograph that show. It was a much bigger thrill for me. Absolutely great job on this interview. It brought out the best in Paul. I will be following you...Awesome!! All the best.

Anyways, I’ve been a huge fan for over 6 years and was lucky enough to see them one last time… for their final show ever!!! It was so magical! Not only that, but i was lucky enough to be recorded in the livestream (during the part where “Say Yeah” is being introduced).

[@steelersfan07able]

Another great interview! I left you a comment on the Gibson TV channel after watching you over there. In case you didn't catch it over there, here it is: Yo, Paul! I absolutely love those guitars! I really loved watching this and knowing my childhood hero is still doing well and is healthy. Thank you so much for opening up my eyes to what rock 'n' roll is really all about. I got my first two KISS albums for my birthday as a kid. The two albums were KISS Alive! and KISS Destroyer. It was 1976 then, and I'm 57 years old now. Thank you so much for the memories over the years. Life back then would have been so boring without KISS. You guys literally added color and excitement to my world. That's the truth. I've said harsh things about you and Gene in the past, but I was just frustrated, as you were, that the original band fell apart. I know you tried to keep the band together, but it just wasn't meant to be. However, that foundation, although rocky behind the scenes at times, was still the foundation that really got me into listening to hard rock and metal. I consider KISS to be hard classic rock. (Which is my favorite.) A lot of people made fun of us KISS fans back in the day, but we knew what was up, and so did you. Forget the so-called 'critics'. We know the deal. Most of the critics just don't get it. Well, I'll tell you, I'm very glad I got it! I'd like to meet you one day and shake your hand. Peace be with you and yours. Thanks, man! -Wes

It's now June 2024 and most lifelong KISS fans have made their peace with the sham that was Dec. 2nd, 2023. It's Kisstory now, we are thankful for decades of great concerts, wonderful music and a band that went beyond the realms of everything possible. KISS inspired individuality, creativity and a determination in our young lives to make our own destiny come true. It was a fantastic journey and I still embrace all the records, posters, magazines, t-shirts and seeing those 20 concerts over 50 years. I thank-you Paul Stanley for being a positive influence in my childhood, those great memories will be with me always.

Think about all the things Paul and Gene has done and how they managed everything, family , dreams, visions, touring. It´s just great. Well.. the list is long. Thank you so much for the inspiration. It´s been huge and still are.

Awesome interview!! Very enlightening and insightful! Paul is such a realist….. rich as hell but, still seems very down to earth! I will say this… I was very surprised that Allison said she didn’t know that Paul was in the broadway play…. Phantom of the Opera!!!

Thank you for doing this interview Mr. Paul Stanley, and thank you Allison for putting it together. I have been a KISS fan since their beginning. I have seen them 362 times over the last 48 yrs for me. Paul Stanley is my mentor, I have met all of the members, except Mark St. John unfortunately, several times over the years. It was a Great last tour. Whatever happens with the avatars, I will keep an open mind, and check them out when the time comes. I know Paul will not read this comment, but he is KISS, and without him they probably would not have made it to 50 yrs. They did make it though. Tha Greatest Rock and Roll Band in the World KISS!!!👍🤘🎸😊 Great interview Allison!😊Like Paul said in the interview, we think alike on alot of things. Case in point when he was talking about how he sounds singing compared to the days of KISS Alive, I have said the same thing he said to other people, if you want to hear him sound that way, listen to the album, not the latest concert. I could go on and on, but I won't.

How wonderful to meet such a mega-fan!!!! Thank you for taking the time to share this wonderful insight with me - I truly appreciate it!

I've been a KISS fan for 25 years now and I never saw a interview lilke this with Paul. Also I had the feeling that Paul is somehow "sad". Idk if this is the right word but I felt something different in his semblance. Love you Paul! Thank you for KISS!
