Paul Stanley on Growing Old

KISS co-founder Paul Stanley talks about what it's like to get old.

[@drivenmad7676]

growing old as a wealthy person is much easier than a poor person.

[@DougCanney1]

That’s for damn sure.

[@mikekmalick]

Poor in spirit is for sure not good! But lacking wealth is a blessing because if you really want to be healthy not a problem just STOP eating! Fasting is the best thing you can do if you are sick or preventing sickness. Peace and Grace forever!

[@DougCanney1]

@@mikekmalick so, you’re saying all those people, whom can’t afford food, are actually being healthy? I like your positive vibe.

It could actually be the other way around…. A wealthy person has got sooo much more to lose….

[@glenborst1]

I met Paul back in the late 70’s when they were touring. I was a helper with the catering before their concert. He was polite and gave me a warm greeting. It was a special time for me, as the public did not know what they looked like without their makeup. Also that day while they were rehearsing, I stood silently watching them, and one of them flicked a Kiss-imprinted guitar pick my way. My boss sent me to their hotel rooms to setup a humidifier in each one. I figured maybe that’s important for their singing voice. .

[@roxannemoser]

He should've given you a tip. He's a greedy a$$

[@glenborst1]

@@roxannemoser Funny! I was thrilled that he even spoke to me. Basically we were invisible to them at those type of things. I got the opposite feeling from Gené Simmons. While Paul, Ace and Peter rode in on a tour bus, Gene Simmons arrived in a jet later. I think he was dating Cher at that time.

[@davidstanden480]

I watched an old interview of the band here on KZbin and Ace was just taking up all the interviews time. I give credit to Gene, he just sat back and watched Ace make an ass of himself. Paul as usual was level headed and gracious, Peter didn't say to much.

[@arthurbishop3173]

@ Metallic Phoenix, Gene is a Virgo, my man. Yes his bday is 8.25.49, but that makes him a VIRGO-not a Leo (don't take my word for it...look it up). If you're 'into' astrology, you should know that. If you're not, well, here's this: Since Gene is only 3 or 4 days past being a Leo, he likely has some Leo somewhere in his astrological chart, which is what were you referring to, I'm guessing. My hippie parents were amateur astrologers in the 70s, doing charts BY HAND (crazy, I know).

Enough to kill for 8 miles if it goes off! So in "Human year's yes the war was a long time ago. We like to try everything even wording to make our lives seem and feel longer. "It was a Decade ago" Huh? 10 year's is nothing! But see how we try to make our lives seem longer. Just a example.

@@le_th_ it's only natural.

[@le_th_]

@@crushsatan It may be true to say that for some adults, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it's natural (as if to imply it's inherent to all). All we have to do is look around the world and we can see millions of examples of people who either have given up on that, or simply are not interested in that. There are also a minority who are inherently incapable of caring about that (because they're incapable of "caring" at all). If it were as natural as you suggest, the world would not be populated with people who (seemingly?) do not care, or who have stopped caring somewhere along the way. While that isn't exclusive to married individuals, I've heard many wives and husbands complain of that being the case for their spouse. It will come very naturally to most all young children and to those adults who are developmentally arrested in early childhood, especially extroverted, and externally motivated because they have no inner way to regulate any genuine self-worth unless someone outside of them is providing it. Think of how physically fit all of society would be if it were actually "natural'? This is precisely why he talks about the "discipline" it requires.

[@johnfinck288]

Paul, like any singer his age (especially rock/metal) has lost some of his range, but I wouldn't say is voice is 'shot' - some nights he's a little rough, probably from not enough rest between shows - but most nights he's still on, other than not being able to hit the high notes he did twenty years ago. It's hit and miss sometimes, but that's how it goes with live music.

They ALL changed their names to sound cooler - to match their makeup and stage personas. It's been common knowledge for years that Paul and Gene are Jewish; they don't 'hide' their heritage, they're proud of it. Since you don't use your real name, what are you hiding?

[@gabrielsbox8883]

Hey I was listening that kiss at 5 years old I'm 47 years old I grew up with these guys and I'm growing old with these guys ! You know I believe the great spirit takes care of us all and no matter what we go through in life he's always at the end standing there waiting ! And brothers and sisters it seems in 2021 we have a choice to make ! If we want to keep on going living like we used to and negativity and hell and fire and brimstone that's okay ! But you know sometime in your life the party freaking ends and it's just time to settle down and collect your thoughts before you move on to the other side ! You know a lot of us has had near death of experiences and most of us haven't but those who have their lives are changed forever ! Especially if you're in show Business sometimes the things you see in show Business can scare the living hell out of you ! But anyway God bless Paul Stanley and the band and the families and God bless you and thank you! Hey the thing about being old for me is a people come to me now for wisdom !!

[@shredsixsixsix9218]

Thank you for the hard edged music Paul, 100,000 THOUSAND YEARS!!!

[@Cantstandtherock]

Thats awesome to be that age and still be in shape and work hard to stay that way, I respect Paul for his healthy attitude but also respect his love for life!

[@mikeg3439]

He's looking like he is doing well physically, good for him. I think out of the 70's/80's rock and roll crowd, those who went healthy are doing a lot better, and it's not a mystery as to why. You can't live the crazy life forever, even some don't make it out alive in their younger years, doing that.

@@blacklikethesun Very good point!! I didn't realize that, thank you for being more alert to the full facts than I was. Still looking good for what would have been around 62 years old though :)

What a refreshing interview. He seems like such a normal, grounded guy.

This is a real neat interview. I really enjoy hearing him talk about all he's been through. Most rock stars always throw out the glam for us and tell us everything is great. YEAH, ok then .. Lets hear about the human stuff. Getting old will always get em.

How so..? How do you come across the verdict?

[@robertlackstein6366]

Thanks Paul for sharing. I’m 60 and sing. Rock n Roll keeps one young😀I think. I still rock out to Kiss earliest songs. Look at the Stones for example! It’s certainly not about the money anymore. Their music keeps them young at heart. Aging is more a mental than physical thing I think though obviously our bodies do wear n tear. But Rock n Roll surely slows down the aging process in my personal opinion folks. So keep rocking people!🤟🏻RobertLackstein from Montreal Quebec Canada 🇨🇦

Saw you at The Forum in Inglewood in 75 greatest concert I ever been to, "You wanted the Best and you got it the Hottest band in the land KIZZZZZ" and all Hell broke loose, you guys blew the roof completely into the next county that night, all I can say is it was mindblowing.

[@franciscofernandez5034]

I myself have never been a kiss fan , but Paul portray a “ down to earth “ guy he doesn’t feed on ego , and talk very candid and openly, however I do like Paul as a singer as well. Good he still around.

It’s great to just hear a “real” conversation from Paul about the realities of life and getting old instead of the typical rock star interview.

Kiss was my 1st concert. He seems like a really nice guy. And everything he is saying is right.

[@danmiller2940]

I saw Kiss a few months ago in Nashville. They rocked the house. Seriously. They sounded great. Gene looked in good shape. I don't think Paul has ever been out of shape. Rock on, Paul

[@bluevictory1010]

I love listening to his sage advice and his audio biography had me hooked from the get-go! KISS concerts were really great shows, going to miss them.

[@synthvault]

Paul Stanley has always seemed like a genuinely nice guy. Like if you forgot about Kiss he'd be a cool guy to kick back with on the deck and drink a few beers.

[@markymarco2570]

if you're a new yorker

[@Cigarsnguitars]

MechanicalAnimal of the two remaining founders of Kiss I'd much rather interview Paul than Gene. Paul comes across as a genuine person while Gene is always trying to tell you what a good business guy he is and is constantly selling the fucking band. There is nothing Gene can tell me about either because I don't kiss anyone's ass for the length of time that dildo would take to tell me the two aforementioned items.

[@synthvault]

Flyers 50 It's sad but I have to agree with you 100%. Obviously love Gene's playing and respect him immensely for his music contributions but yeah...I just wish he would shut up sometimes in interviews and such. He comes across as only in it for the money which surely can't be the truth. He's probably realizing right about now that money really isn't what life is all about. In the end money is worthless.

[@penistubes]

i'd like to forget about kiss for just a moment and nibble gently on his mushroomy little ear while dabbing his 65 year old butt hole with a q-tip slathered in black salve and just wait and see if we can produce a black diamond of our very own. down to earth dude stuff.

I remember back in the 70’s when Paul said old people suck, he said he didn’t like old people. Now he’s changed his mind now that he’s old. 😂

[@EyesHoleMedia]

LOL! That would be a great sound bite. Of course, any youth that didn't get drowned in mortality by family should have felt invincible for those years ... add on being internationally god-like and that just blows it thru the roof!

[@joeshmoe7967]

Well I would say back then a lot old people were 'old' in there minds. Now that he is older physically, he is not 'old' in mind and spirit. I too dislike 'old' people, but not old people. My body is 59.75 years(January 1962)old, but my mind and spirit are nowhere near that. When people find out my age, there are surprised, because I don't seem 'old'. I am also lucky in that my blonde hair hides my grey quite well, but it is mostly my spirit and attitude.

Do many old people think that being old is cool?) I think any old man agrees that old age sucks

As an adult, you get to spend 5-10 years being "young." After that, if you're lucky, you'll spend at least A HALF CENTURY being old.

[@redoz9768]

Especially if you get married early.

[@michaelkrull3331]

I wouldn't say that. It all depends on how soon you start taking care of yourself and how long you keep it up. I've managed to stay "young" a lot longer than that. At 41 I'm in much better shape than most guys 10 or even 20 years younger than me.

I had a full time job and a dog lived alone so responsible but could go to any shows or drink or date whoever I wanted.

[@tartgreenapple]

You make it sound like an inconvenience. For hundreds of thousands of years humans rarely lived longer than old enough to procreate. That is our primary biological function. In the last 100 years the human lifespan rose astonishingly high thanks to medical breakthroughs like anti-antibiotics and industrial farming. Hell, germ theory was not a thing until 1850! Previous to that medical practice was as effective as witchcraft with worse outcomes! We are living in the greatest time in history and all we can do is bemoan the fact that we only have 10-15 good years to enjoy our procreation zenith.
