Paul Stanley Speaks Out On Jane's Addiction Altercation On Stage | Wild Ride! Clips

[@izzys-travel]

I met him at Costco in Van Nuys years ago and he was at the deli and I saw him and I said I was a fan and took the time to speak with me and asked me questions about myself what a great guy!!

[@HistoryChannel1776]

Did you suck him off ?

[@martian-sunset]

I've never been a KISS fan but I did get to meet Paul Stanley and he was a really down to earth, terrific guy.

[@annex4398]

He's a dick. Been lip syncing shows since 2018.

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

​@@annex4398 But in spite of his voice problems fans who love KISS still went to live concerts.

[@annex4398]

@ Half of them didn’t know what was going on. Paul Stanley is a self righteous fraud.

[@carrieolson3352]

Love Paul. These stories are meaningful for kids / those of us who grew up in the 70s 80s and 90s. Thanks for sharing Paul! So real.

[@JohnPeery]

I really appreciate Paul Stanley's perspective and appreciation for fans. Says a lot about him and his success.

[@CusterFlux]

They certainly didn't let themselves depend too much on luck … they were way to smart for that

[@iSiberianHusky]

He has zero appreciation for fans. He has exploited them, not appreciated them.

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

​​​@@iSiberianHusky Don't forget, fans make their own decisions. Whatever you buy, accept your own responsibility. Blaming others of "exploitation"🤣 sounds paranoid (shabby).

[@wallypalmer4704]

He seems like a pretty open guy. I'm not a big Kiss fan, but there's something about him that makes me want to listen when he talks. Very engaging.

[@jamesbarlow6725]

You get the feeling that he gets it. When you've been around that long, you did something right.

[@fleatactical7390]

I feel the same. Never really got into them, but this guy has lived the dream and is very thoughtful and insightful about it. Versus 95% of the other meatheads in the music industry who made music because they couldn't do anything else.

[@Humandisconnect]

He seems very lay back

[@RippedBiscuit]

[@TexasrocksRight]

I'm struck by Paul's intelligence, warmth, and his engagement in relating stuff he for sure has talked about tons of times before. Class act.

[@iSiberianHusky]

You've got to be joking.

[@TacomaGraphicArtist]

I like Paul but he always gives very measured, often rehearsed responses. But then again, he’s basically been answering the same questions for 50 years

[@iSiberianHusky]

Like with ACDC, Kiss (at least in their early classic period) took the rock 'n' roll element of stuff like the Stones, Who, rhythm & blues, etc., and made it pure, undiluted.

[@humanactivated1017]

@@AAAA-lt9hqthat made the fans happy at first , it was excellent seeing Connie Vincent and Eric car new costumes , no one cared about cat man really or ace in the 80’s

[@AAAA-lt9hq]

@@humanactivated1017 I would say the first mistake they made was around "Dynasty" when they went to a disco sound and then did the solo albums. Then it was to "Music from the Elder" and just got worse. There were a lot of cooks in the kitchen, big competing egos, and problems around 1980 and it didn't get better for a few years. You'll find people (mainly guitarists) who are die hard Ace guys no matter what and find anything after "Love Gun" to be of lesser quality. Their 80s work had some great pop-oriented hair metal stuff, but I don't think they found their edge again until "Revenge." "Psycho Circus" gave them a late career boost. I thought "Monster" would get more attention as their last album but no one seemed to notice. So it's more of a "What era of Kiss do you like?" thing than anything. Same with Sabbath or Priest.

My friend was the late luthier Steve Carr who was guitar tech for KISS in the late 70's and early 80's. He built Ace's mini Explorer and Paul's Star guitar. Paul wasn't to keen on the star guitar.

I always liked KISS as a gimmick, but wasn't a huge fan...or super familiar with their deep cuts. However....when I saw them on their last tour I was completely blown away. I knew it would fun to see them in the makeup, & hear some good classic rock. 100× better than I ever could have imagined.....felt like we got the full experience of KISS in their prime, and some of the best songs were songs I didn't know, that just rocked the house. By the end of the night it was one of the greatest concert experiences I've ever had. Right up there with Judas Priest, AC/DC, Sabbath & the original White Zombie. People call them sellouts....but even as seniors, they gave us every penny of our money's worth.....& then played for another hour. Kudos to them.
