No Paul, this isn't stupid, it's actually cool. This reminds me of VH1 "Storytellers". We love hearing the stories behind the songs. Please keep em coming!
Paul is such a modest man particularly about his guitar playing. He is incredibly skilled and talented and what he does works. Amazing guitarist, singer and songwriter. He also seems like a very nice and caring person with some great safety advice that must be heeded during this unprecedented and sad time.
He’s an amazing talent. His life story of how he overcame deafness in one ear and being made fun of by other kids to be a true Rock God is one for the ages!
Pauls voice is great now he's rested, and more proof he's the solo guy behind Kiss. Anyone else were just following Pauls amazing musical guidance. Thank God Ace got a mention in a positive way.
Uhh...no. His stage voice hasn't been able to last through two verses for nearly 15 years. That's why it's faked. *"Prerecorded lead vocals, baby! That's what I've got. Let's pretend together. No, that's not snot."*
You seem like a real kiss fan i have always thought that ace and paul were the kiss sound when paul sang on aces solo cover fire and water to me it sounded like original kiss more then anything since love gun whats your thoughts on that?
@@tontoepstein6860 the guy is 70 wonder if you’ll be able to even attempt a two hour show in platforms at that age or will you be eating apple sauce in a nursing home? but honestly if you hate kiss why are you watching this? Is there a joy in insulting there fans? That makes it worth your time? Are just bored and want to piss people off? Did paul bang your girl back in the 80s? Im not trying to insult you just curious as to the motivation ? have good day My brother
@@Ohionortheast Stanley's voice us shot, what you now hear on stage are prerecorded vocals that were recorded many years ago and/or more recent prerecorded vocals that were manipulated and altered in the studio to make them sound tolerable when Stanley pretends to sing them in a live setting.
This was my favourite Kiss song of all. Thanks for doing this. I sadly lost all of my original Kiss albums in a flood a short while back which was gut wrenching but I did get to see you play this live in Toronto before all the COVID craziness hit. I hope you come back!
You can hear Paul's influences in his playing! 👩 📻📻 🎸 🔲🔲

Paul admitted he also loved The Yardbirds, one of Jimmy Page's bands before forming Led Zeppelin. Just off the cuff, my uncle when he was alive had a resemblance to Robert Plant (and he played guitar in a band before getting drafted during the Vietnam War). Just wanted to mention that.
When I hear Paul like this it is like listening to an old friend. I have been listening to KISS for decades, which is why it seems so familiar to me. Good to see you, Buddy. All the best for you too, Paul. :-) Tommy
Paul, you and the boys gave me many good childhood memories. At 12 and 13 years of age Kiss was my favorite band in the whole world! I was nearly the only black kid that I knew that would openly admit to listening to rock and loving Kiss! My 13th birthday my mom bought me Kiss “Destroyer” on 8 track. Man I wore that thing out. Thanks!
That was my first record too. I got it for my birthday when I was 11 years old. I played it all the time. I was in the Christchurch Cathedral Choir and we did a tour for a week singing in different parts of the south island. I played it at the back of the bus we travelled on the whole time over and over again. There were many requests from the kids to play it. The choir master was not impressed but all the kids in the choir loved it.
You are not alone in the Black sense, me too from age of 14 I am 62 now and me and about three friends all black only listen to rock, we filmed Kiss at the Omni in Atlanta with 8mm film took it home and played it on the wall listening to Kiss. Now a Die hard Rush fan RIP Peart, they opened for Kiss that night. Music is a rainbow of colors not just Black and White. If anyone Black gives you shit about listening to rock, ask them about looking at Tom Cruise, and all the other White actors movies. Rock on dude BTW Bush is the shit too.
These "fireside chats" are so generous and insightful Paul. You seem to be a virtual music historian and I love all of the back stories, playing, singing and recollections. I hope to hear more - Thank you for sharing. Stay safe.
Paul Stanley, one of the few who admit his limitations and how we as musicians use others music for inspiration. Very secure in his place in history. Rock on!
Paul's writing and arrangement on his KISS songs is phenomenal. Brilliant song writer. Man so many great anthems. Love all of Paul's output. Stay safe everybody. Wash your hands from all surfaces you touch.

I remember in an Ace interview, Ace said that Paul is a fantastic song writer. I totally agree.
"Making the most of what I have, and forgetting about what I don't" As a 30+ year guitar player, (inspired by you and Ace), This is probably the best advice I have ever heard. Wish I had heard it when I first started playing, but I am taking it to heart now. Thanks Paul! Love ya Brother!
Not sure how this ends up in my CZcams algorithm, but this was surprisingly really enjoyable to listen to. I hate celebrity videos most of the time especially now with the virus, but this felt genuine and was interesting to listen to. Never thought I’d say this but thanks Paul Stanley.
Thanks Paul! This was great! I love hearing the back stories of songs. Please keep doing this. Love you and KISS forever! I'm 50 yrs old and started listening to your Detroit Rock City Vinyl album at at 8. It was my older brother's album. Bern a fan ever since. Raised my 14 yr old daughter up with listening to KISS so of course you are her favorite rock band now too. She's seen 3 shows and we were at your last one in Charlotte. Speaking of Love Gun....I remember the paper pop gun in my brother's Love Gun album. Wish he still had it. Stay Safe, God Bless♥️
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️ Please send me a mail via. Paulstanley076@gmail.com
I work in hospital Paul. 5 days a week I walk into every sick person rooms in hospital to feed them. I walk into all areas of hospital, even those ones that are infected and contaminated. I hope you, your friend's, family, your fans will stay safe during this pandemic. Lot's of love from nhs
Paul, thank you for the decades of great music that you provided KISS and music fans all over the world! I have been a KISS fan since "Double Platinum", which my Mom bought for me in the third grade. I have been to several great KISS shows over the years. My two most memorable concerts were: 1.) December 1987 Crazy Nights Tour - The Spectrum, Philadelphia, PA; and 2.) May 1992 Revenge Tour - The Trocadero, Philadelphia, PA. People might think I am crazy, but I really enjoyed the non-makeup era of KISS. Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick were great additions to the band. Eric, in particular, was one of the great rock drummers of all time. He's sorely missed! Thank you, Paul!!
"Sometimes your limitations are your best friend." Just what I needed to hear today. I'll carry that forward. Thank you for that and all your years of pioneering rock n roll.
Yeah, dude!! Totally!! When he said that I looked to Heaven and... Because I really struggle with my limitations as well (we all do, right?) so that sentence is really inspiring, huh?!
Paul, this was absolutely NOT stupid. Thank you so much for inviting us into your home and sharing the story of the song with us. Please DO post more of these and your comments and advice at the end are very well said. Take care, Sir. And God Bless from Mississippi. :)
Wow Paul, you still got the magic in those fingers and the harmonies in your voice. Love every one of your songs, including Love Gun and God Of Thunder, classic masterpieces. You are and always will be our Rock N Roll brother. I hope you're okay and safe like the rest of us. And don't worry brother, you're not alone. KISS FOREVER!!! 😝🤘🏻🎸
After all these years, Paul still has the ability to play and sing. Ace’s skills, on the other hand, have seriously deteriorated and he’s just coasting off of past fame. To be honest, Ace’s guitar playing sounds pretty terrible. People still try to tell him his guitar playing is great, even though it’s extremely sloppy and virtually unlistenable compared to his playing in his younger days.
Paul, Over the years, Ive really grown to understand how you have always been the heart and soul of the band. Gene has been up and down but if not for you, kiss fades away at some point in your storied history. thank you for sharing this clip. stay healthy and keep doing what you do. loyal kiss army since 76... dg
So cool.. Used to hang out in Cunningham Park in Queens, that park was connected to my old school IS74.... Loved Kiss growing up cause they were the "local band"
Wow! Paul! ...you’r an inspiration! Always been a fan of how must energy you’v got. You’r the reason I start playing 🎸guitar and formed a rock band in early 80-81 ( I was then 13) This video upload you must continue!!!🤜🏻 so cool and intersetning to listnen to you and your 🎸story around your ideas and how songs started out! We all have to keep faith and hope for this «Corona times» to end! Wish a the best for all! From Norway🇳🇴
james blankenship that just kinda shows he’s trying to work it that’s why he’s probably lip syncing most of the tour so that he could give his voice a little bit of rest so maybe now would be a good time for him to work on it
Thanks for sharing Paul!!! Saw KISS the first time back in 1978 in Memphis Tennessee. One of the BEST concerts ever!!!!! Hearing those "riffs" brought chills!
Sir, I have been a fan since the ‘70’s! Your music surrounds the best memories of my life. Love you and the band. I hope one day I can finally get an autograph. Love that guitar too. Be safe and well. MLLHR!
Very encouraging Paul! Thanks so much for sharing important aspects of some your iconic songs and the common sense advice! Always my favorite Kiss member and just favorite people period.
I was born in 68. I have been a fan since probably 75. I saw you in 85...Eric Carr & Vinnie. It was my first big concert and never got beaten until I took my 2 daughters to see you in Toronto Last year! Thx For Doing This! We think of you all the time Paul!
I've met him, he isn't. I am an old kiss fan but he's a not, not at all. Enjoy the videos, I am but no he's not a nice dude, trust me. Read his book, he trashes everybody. Anyone. Period.
Been a fan since 1974!!! You always take time for us and I always loved that about you!! I am retired US Army living in Germany!! See you in Frankfurt, Germany 10 July
I saw Paul and the gang almost a month ago March 9 in my home town El Paso tx the man still got it awesome show Paul keep on doing these video there entertaining and we forgot for awhile what's going on in this world 🙏
I was a 16 yr old kid from Pasadena and the first concert I ever saw, was KISS. It was at the LA Forum with 16,000 fans in 1976. My jaw dropped and I was forever a fan of live concerts and live music. Thanks Paul
Enlightened Rogue I saw Aerosmith at the Big “A” about the same time! I remember they were having some kind of technical difficulty at the start of Dream On. A pissed-off Tyler screams at the audience, “you didn’t want to hear that fucking song anyway”....the crowd started BOOING....
Paul, you should start your own channel. You would have a lot of followers. I enjoyed this video. Please, keep doing them. I have made it a point to watch channels which do these. I have been a Star Child, Eric Carr, Bruce Kulick, Ace & KISS fan for as most of my 53 years of life. I would only listen to your songs. I did buy each of your single albums. People didn't care much for 'The Elder' album, but I did. Thank you, for speaking about the seriousness of the COVID-19 & for the years of music!! Stay safe & healthy.
Thank you so much Paul for the years of incredible music that led to many great times & memories as well as for taking the time to hang out with us & open up your personal space at such a hard time in this thing we call life. Great share & message.
He has a great feel. Very underrated, often just thought of as a singer. Great rhythm player and 2nd lead player doing all the great harmony parts. Detroit Rock City is one of my favorite harmony guitar parts and a very early influence. I still have the first 6 original vinyl albums from the 70’s. I remember sitting in my room at 13 in 1976 learning these tunes.
@@ckramer1964 .I took a dive out the windshield during a head on crash while jamming to Detroit rock city. damn we were so stoned but we also survived.
Thank you paul for posting this little video ....been looking forward to it all day and you made my nite....cant go out since all the bars and restaurants are closed and going a little stir crazy but this actually helped....take care and I really hope to see you guys again in September...love ya
You are a treasure! Love watching my childhood hero play that beautiful Gibson and at the same time speaking the truth, stay safe! Hope to see more videos!!
Take notice people, what a class act as some of the other fine folks mentioned. No politics or bullshit from this man. Thank you Paul for the video and your positivity. pretty cool to say the least, didn't wake up today and expect to see Paul Stanley on here, Best wishes to you and your family.
Erik, I agree totally. Every time I see this guy interviewed, or whenever he pontificates on anything, even briefly he just speaks common sense and all so humbly. There's a reason he's still at the top today.
Ya know, every once in a long long while, a "celebrity" actually knows their shit and knows what they're talking about. Very loosely a Kiss fan, but respect meter for Paul Stanley just went up infinite%. He entertained, he informed and all while I felt like I was listening to a well respected great uncle. Way ta go Paul, you're an angel.
oh shut up. This guy has no worries. He can afford to do this shit. It means nothing! If the guy really wanted to help people, he could donate $$$ to people who need it.
@@JimA-pp2nu , what have you done??? I have seen Kiss pay for a veteran's home. They do more than you think. Do your research before speaking otherwise, you come across as an uneducated knucklehead.
Brilliant! Soooooo cool to share your thoughts, your talent & your time. 😎 Plus, the best advice that we stay home, appreciate those who are working to support our community & save lives. Thank you Paul. Stay safe & healthy. Regards from Austria x

How fantastic is this? A personal lesson with one of the greatest. Thank you Paul and the rest of the KISS members for decades of fantastic music and entertainment.
Hell Yeah Paul! It's really cool to get u making videos like this talking 'bout stuff of your life. Keep doin' and we'll keep waiting for more... Thanks and Cya!
This is awesome! Please do more! I would love to hear the stories about some of the deeper cuts as well like Mr. Speed, Magic Touch, Tomorrow, or Exciter. This could be a whole series! Thank you for this.
Love the video Paul. It is absolutely true what you are saying! Sucks but needs to happen to get through this difficult time in our lives! And keep on with all the years of Rockin the world with great Music! God bless America, and God Bless KISS!

Paul- Such a great message, from such a respectable, and far-reaching role model!! I have seen many celebrities post similar messages lately, and as someone taking this situation seriously, I am ecstatic to see you urging your followers to take precautions as well!! We rock/metal-heads can be quite stubborn, so hearing it straight from someone like you goes a long way!! On another note, my wife and I were at your show for an overnight trip without the kids around a month ago, and it was just the best 24 hours we've spent in a long time!! The venue was great, the show was amazing, the surrounding area was great, and just when we were getting into our car to leave the hotel the next day, and things already couldn't get any better, we bumped into Gene!! All four of you, and your whole crew, and everyone involved just completely destroyed our expectations, and when you fellows come back to the states, my wife and I are already planning an even longer road trip, and will see you there!! Thanks again for everything!! BTW, I just started "Face The Music." : )
" YOU WANT THE BEST, YOU GIT THE BEST, THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD KISS!!!!"😁😁😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I love Paul Stanley. And I love it when they tell stories and it makes me have a better understanding of what they talk about these days. 🙂🙂🙂🤗 "How I got into KISS" I've been a fan for maybe 2 years and I watched a movie called "Detroit Rock City" and at the ending part, I saw the band and I listened to the song called "Detroit Rock City" and when the song was over, I told my Dad that they sound really good. Then I started listening to their other music and they were really awesome and I downloaded the songs that I listened to. I listened to them every day and I told myself that these songs make me feel like a rock star and when I jam out to the songs, I feel like I want to become a member of the band. I've been dreaming that I was at a KISS concert and I was so happy. Then I dreamed that I met all of the members of the band and I cried so much. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️So I keep crossing my fingers that I will meet the band I will go to a KISS concert. My Dad sometimes tell me to keep dreaming and it will come true. Love you so much KISS 😍😍😍😍stay safe and keep making songs.
I’ve been listening to that song since the day I brought the new album home when I was 9. Now at 52, my life is a little more complete by hearing Paul tell this story.
I’m 45. Back in the day I took mom and dad’s “Double Platinum” and “Dynasty” albums to my kindergarten show and tell. We put them on and the whole class danced. Thank you for everything! This video was awesome. Keep it up.
Michael Bacon I didn’t even pay attention. I just remember showing everybody the front of Dynasty. I remember they played it on one of those old elementary school portable players that looked from the 50’s. I remember looking around the room and everybody was dancing. I think they played a cut off of double platinum “I was made for loving you.” Is that off that album? I should look it up. The teacher may have taken exception but she played it so I think she was okay with it. :)
When I was in fifth grade in about 1980, the teacher asked us to bring in a tape or a record of a song about fire....So I brought Destroyer and played Flaming Youth. :D
In addition to the fact that this pure, raw and above all beautiful recording of Paul gives us an interesting insight into the creation of songs and the way in which he composed them, this is above all a very clear warning to everyone who still does not take the COVID-19 seriously. what a great movie, Paul. Blessing to ya All!
Thank you, Paul for taking the time to do these videos and for sending out a message to do the right thing. Would love to be a fly on the wall while you play and explain these great songs. Been a fan since the mid 70's. Love ya. Stay healthy.
Love Gun is my favorite KISS song ever. Also so nice just to see Paul talking about cool stuff instead of singing Imagine or doing other shallow attention seeking
I'm confused as to what just happened. Queue the band, the backup vocals, the karaoke machine, the dancers........wait, were we just in Paul Stanley's home listening to raw, unedited, crushingly spine tingling rock vocals??? Take that coronavirus.
Hi Paul, thanks for bringing us into your home, and sharing a very important message. We missed you guys in Australia during the last tour. Great video, cheers mate.
Paul should do more of these I didn’t want it to end 👍👍
Totally agreed.
I'm with ya. Enjoyed it very much. 👍
Jacob Coughlin ... I Concur...
Agreed!!
yawn
No Paul, this isn't stupid, it's actually cool. This reminds me of VH1 "Storytellers". We love hearing the stories behind the songs. Please keep em coming!
I like it I was wondering how you guys wrote your songs thanks make more if you can
I agree...incredible gift
Thank you Paul. This was worth watching and very enjoyable
This is great if you followed Kiss as long as I have I love the stories behind the songs.
T- Boog agreed!!!!!
This guy stands up to test of time, durable and iconic.

It cannot be denied. Paul is one of the GREATEST ROCK SINGERS EVER! So oryginal voice color.
Totalmente de acuerdo
"Sometimes your limitations are your best friend." Great advice Paul. Embrace what you've got, right? Thank you.
Agree
I have to curb my enthusiasm.
i heard the other day paul stanley got tested positive for covid please pray
Between this and the Jonesy interview, I could listen to Paul Stanley talk about music all day! You can tell he’s a true music lover.

80's?... 70's!!! 😉

Limitations are what drives creativity. Keep the videos coming.
I converted Love Gun for 5 years and the crowds reaction was always fantastic! It's one of these Rock & Roll toons that will never get out of style 👌
So cool.. Used to hang out in Cunningham Park in Queens, that park was connected to my old school IS74.... Loved Kiss growing up cause they were the "local band"
Once again Paul Stanley proves why he is one of my favorite rock legends. Love the stories!
Same
5.4 million of us DO NOT THINK THIS WAS STUPID!!! PLEASE COME BACK AND DO IT AGAIN. #KISSYARMY
Wow! Paul! ...you’r an inspiration! Always been a fan of how must energy you’v got. You’r the reason I start playing 🎸guitar and formed a rock band in early 80-81 ( I was then 13)
This video upload you must continue!!!🤜🏻 so cool and intersetning to listnen to you and your 🎸story around your ideas and how songs started out!
We all have to keep faith and hope for this «Corona times» to end!
Wish a the best for all! From Norway🇳🇴
Man watching Paul Stanley sitting alone talking and playing after being in front of millions is surreal to me. God bless you man!
Pauls old voice was back for a sec there
james blankenship that just kinda shows he’s trying to work it that’s why he’s probably lip syncing most of the tour so that he could give his voice a little bit of rest so maybe now would be a good time for him to work on it
Maybe a month off from singing every night will help his voice.
It's easy to do in a room, but hard ti do in an arena.
I have always been a huge Paul Stanley fan. His solo album is timeless and so awesome! He looks awesome and sounds great!
Paul - tell more of your song stories -- especially during these times - sharing boost morale big time!!!
Thanks for sharing Paul!!! Saw KISS the first time back in 1978 in Memphis Tennessee. One of the BEST concerts ever!!!!! Hearing those "riffs" brought chills!
Sir, I have been a fan since the ‘70’s! Your music surrounds the best memories of my life. Love you and the band. I hope one day I can finally get an autograph. Love that guitar too. Be safe and well. MLLHR!
Thats was the coolest thing i have seen in a while! The MSG at the end ROCKS!
Very encouraging Paul! Thanks so much for sharing important aspects of some your iconic songs and the common sense advice! Always my favorite Kiss member and just favorite people period.
I was born in 68. I have been a fan since probably 75. I saw you in 85...Eric Carr & Vinnie. It was my first big concert and never got beaten until I took my 2 daughters to see you in Toronto Last year!
Thx For Doing This! We think of you all the time Paul!
a decent and humble guy in addition to being a legend and icon.
Exactly
I've met him, he isn't. I am an old kiss fan but he's a not, not at all. Enjoy the videos, I am but no he's not a nice dude, trust me. Read his book, he trashes everybody. Anyone. Period.
humble? lmfao
He's a good dude overall tho
Been a fan since 1974!!! You always take time for us and I always loved that about you!!
I am retired US Army living in Germany!! See you in Frankfurt, Germany 10 July
Thanks Paul, everybody needs to hear and hear this message and coming from an eloquent man as Paul hit home here
Hey. I’ve been a fan for 43 years. Thangs for this. I saw you in Ottawa last year for my birthday. I love you for making me who I am. You rock dude
I saw Paul and the gang almost a month ago March 9 in my home town El Paso tx the man still got it awesome show Paul keep on doing these video there entertaining and we forgot for awhile what's going on in this world 🙏
I was a 16 yr old kid from Pasadena and the first concert I ever saw, was KISS. It was at the LA Forum with 16,000 fans in 1976. My jaw dropped and I was forever a fan of live concerts and live music. Thanks Paul
keeferdog - My first concert too but at Anaheim stadium ‘75 or ‘76. I was 14 and was in total awe. ☝️🥴
You & I are the same age and this is funny, My first concert in Detroit 1976 as well.
Enlightened Rogue I saw Aerosmith at the Big “A” about the same time! I remember they were having some kind of technical difficulty at the start of Dream On. A pissed-off Tyler screams at the audience, “you didn’t want to hear that fucking song anyway”....the crowd started BOOING....
@@nellawell4976 - Detroit, Rock City. 😎👍
allen wellington “DETROIT ROCK CITY” ....Sweet!
Paul, you should start your own channel. You would have a lot of followers. I enjoyed this video. Please, keep doing them. I have made it a point to watch channels which do these. I have been a Star Child, Eric Carr, Bruce Kulick, Ace & KISS fan for as most of my 53 years of life. I would only listen to your songs. I did buy each of your single albums. People didn't care much for 'The Elder' album, but I did. Thank you, for speaking about the seriousness of the COVID-19 & for the years of music!! Stay safe & healthy.
Thank you so much Paul for the years of incredible music that led to many great times & memories as well as for taking the time to hang out with us & open up your personal space at such a hard time in this thing we call life. Great share & message.
He has a great feel. Very underrated, often just thought of as a singer. Great rhythm player and 2nd lead player doing all the great harmony parts. Detroit Rock City is one of my favorite harmony guitar parts and a very early influence. I still have the first 6 original vinyl albums from the 70’s. I remember sitting in my room at 13 in 1976 learning these tunes.
Dude can sing no doubt..
Love Detroit Rock City!!
Yes, very underrated as a musician, but what an amazing composer! His riffs and hooks are in a class of their own.
@@balamx2802 I agree!! 👍
@@ckramer1964 .I took a dive out the windshield during a head on crash while jamming to Detroit rock city. damn we were so stoned but we also survived.
Thank you paul for posting this little video ....been looking forward to it all day and you made my nite....cant go out since all the bars and restaurants are closed and going a little stir crazy but this actually helped....take care and I really hope to see you guys again in September...love ya
I LOVE YOU PAUL! You take me to a happy place with this videos. Thank you so much ❤️🙏
You are a treasure! Love watching my childhood hero play that beautiful Gibson and at the same time speaking the truth, stay safe! Hope to see more videos!!
Take notice people, what a class act as some of the other fine folks mentioned. No politics or bullshit from this man. Thank you Paul for the video and your positivity. pretty cool to say the least, didn't wake up today and expect to see Paul Stanley on here, Best wishes to you and your family.
Class acts don't run out on stage and lip sync...
Erik, I agree totally. Every time I see this guy interviewed, or whenever he pontificates on anything, even briefly he just speaks common sense and all so humbly. There's a reason he's still at the top today.
Ya know, every once in a long long while, a "celebrity" actually knows their shit and knows what they're talking about. Very loosely a Kiss fan, but respect meter for Paul Stanley just went up infinite%. He entertained, he informed and all while I felt like I was listening to a well respected great uncle. Way ta go Paul, you're an angel.
Unique! Mr Stanley was not forced to do this. It came from his hearth.
He is a great entertainer and a Angel !
One of my best Kiss songs! Glad to know he's down to earth, he seems so laid back. Thanks for the video Paul!
This was beyond comforting...lifelong KISS fan and your compassion is one of those reasons. Stay safe, old friend🤟🏻
Thank you for sending this video. Take Care Starman!🎤🎸🎵🥁
We're here now Paul, that's the best PSA you have done!! Ready for another video, bring it Starchild 🙏
Paul Stanley just chilling and entertaining the people in these desperate times. Much appreciated Sir
oh shut up. This guy has no worries. He can afford to do this shit. It means nothing! If the guy really wanted to help people, he could donate $$$ to people who need it.
@@JimA-pp2nu Damn Bruh...tell me why you mad? Whatever he has achieved good for him. I just came for the music no bad vibes...
@@JimA-pp2nu , what have you done??? I have seen Kiss pay for a veteran's home. They do more than you think. Do your research before speaking otherwise, you come across as an uneducated knucklehead.
Jim A. Well said!!
Brilliant! Soooooo cool to share your thoughts, your talent & your time. 😎 Plus, the best advice that we stay home, appreciate those who are working to support our community & save lives. Thank you Paul. Stay safe & healthy. Regards from Austria x
The rock stars are still ‘fans’ always great to hear their stories and big thank you for continuing to entertain during this wretched time!! 🙏🏻💜
Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️
Please send me a mail via. Paulstanley076@gmail.com
How fantastic is this? A personal lesson with one of the greatest. Thank you Paul and the rest of the KISS members for decades of fantastic music and entertainment.
Dear Paul,
Thank you so much for these videos :) Please keep them going as they'll help keep our spirits up!
You are NOT the only person here Paulo. Thanks for the ENCOURAGEMENT PAUL!
"He clearly wanted to be Jimmy Page. Who doesn't?" Not me. I want to be Paul Stanley.
Best coment ever!
me too!! best comment ever is right
He and Gene truly wanted to be the most famous in the Band ...when true Loyal Kiss Fans know it is ACE FREHLEY ....
I wanted to be Paul Stanley circa 1988!
true, I wanted to be Paul many years before I wanted to be Page.
Who says he can't sing anymore, great video and even greater message! Thank you Paul for all your service and hard work! Peace!
Peace!
Thanks Paul, So good to see you play like that and a sensible message you send to those who want to listen.
This is great. Thank you Paul for posting and keep 'em coming. Best wishes from the UK. Stay safe.
Hell Yeah Paul!
It's really cool to get u making videos like this talking 'bout stuff of your life.
Keep doin' and we'll keep waiting for more...
Thanks and Cya!
This is awesome! Please do more! I would love to hear the stories about some of the deeper cuts as well like Mr. Speed, Magic Touch, Tomorrow, or Exciter. This could be a whole series! Thank you for this.
My family and I are huge fans. Your videos are helping us get through this quarantine. Your the best!!
Love the video Paul. It is absolutely true what you are saying! Sucks but needs to happen to get through this difficult time in our lives! And keep on with all the years of Rockin the world with great Music! God bless America, and God Bless KISS!
Hi Paul! Looking great as always.
Hello Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️
Please send me a mail via. Paulstanley076@gmail.com
Thanks Paul! That was really heart warming.
Legend! Such an amazing insight into the history of this song. Consider doing more of this, I’d watch for sure.
Well Mr. Stanley you created an all time classic! Keep these vids coming makes the day better!
Paul-
Such a great message, from such a respectable, and far-reaching role model!! I have seen many celebrities post similar messages lately, and as someone taking this situation seriously, I am ecstatic to see you urging your followers to take precautions as well!! We rock/metal-heads can be quite stubborn, so hearing it straight from someone like you goes a long way!! On another note, my wife and I were at your show for an overnight trip without the kids around a month ago, and it was just the best 24 hours we've spent in a long time!! The venue was great, the show was amazing, the surrounding area was great, and just when we were getting into our car to leave the hotel the next day, and things already couldn't get any better, we bumped into Gene!! All four of you, and your whole crew, and everyone involved just completely destroyed our expectations, and when you fellows come back to the states, my wife and I are already planning an even longer road trip, and will see you there!! Thanks again for everything!! BTW, I just started "Face The Music." : )
" YOU WANT THE BEST, YOU GIT THE BEST, THE HOTTEST BAND IN THE WORLD KISS!!!!"😁😁😍😍😍😍😍😍😍 I love Paul Stanley. And I love it when they tell stories and it makes me have a better understanding of what they talk about these days. 🙂🙂🙂🤗
"How I got into KISS"
I've been a fan for maybe 2 years and I watched a movie called "Detroit Rock City" and at the ending part, I saw the band and I listened to the song called "Detroit Rock City" and when the song was over, I told my Dad that they sound really good.
Then I started listening to their other music and they were really awesome and I downloaded the songs that I listened to. I listened to them every day and I told myself that these songs make me feel like a rock star and when I jam out to the songs, I feel like I want to become a member of the band. I've been dreaming that I was at a KISS concert and I was so happy. Then I dreamed that I met all of the members of the band and I cried so much. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️So I keep crossing my fingers that I will meet the band I will go to a KISS concert. My Dad sometimes tell me to keep dreaming and it will come true.
Love you so much KISS 😍😍😍😍stay safe and keep making songs.
I’ve been listening to that song since the day I brought the new album home when I was 9. Now at 52, my life is a little more complete by hearing Paul tell this story.
I love these. Thank you, Paul.
I’m 45. Back in the day I took mom and dad’s “Double Platinum” and “Dynasty” albums to my kindergarten show and tell. We put them on and the whole class danced. Thank you for everything! This video was awesome. Keep it up.
How bad did you scare your kindergarten teacher? 😄😄😄
Michael Bacon I didn’t even pay attention. I just remember showing everybody the front of Dynasty. I remember they played it on one of those old elementary school portable players that looked from the 50’s. I remember looking around the room and everybody was dancing. I think they played a cut off of double platinum “I was made for loving you.” Is that off that album? I should look it up. The teacher may have taken exception but she played it so I think she was okay with it. :)
When I was in fifth grade in about 1980, the teacher asked us to bring in a tape or a record of a song about fire....So I brought Destroyer and played Flaming Youth. :D
I'm 48 & I remember taking my Dynasty tape to school & the cafeteria woman going nuts I brought it to school saying it was devil music. 🤣
@@gopherb3985 LOL!!!😂😂😂😂😂
In addition to the fact that this pure, raw and above all beautiful recording of Paul gives us an interesting insight into the creation of songs and the way in which he composed them, this is above all a very clear warning to everyone who still does not take the COVID-19 seriously. what a great movie, Paul. Blessing to ya All!
Thank you, Paul for taking the time to do these videos and for sending out a message to do the right thing. Would love to be a fly on the wall while you play and explain these great songs. Been a fan since the mid 70's. Love ya. Stay healthy.
Thanks, we sure loved the show last summer. Rock on 🇺🇸🙏🏻🍻
Paul Stanley forever
You’re a great man Paul! Common sense thoughts that need to be followed. The guitar playing and singing was an added bonus. Thanks.
Love Gun is my favorite KISS song ever. Also so nice just to see Paul talking about cool stuff instead of singing Imagine or doing other shallow attention seeking
Thanks Paul to take the time to talking to us !
I'm confused as to what just happened. Queue the band, the backup vocals, the karaoke machine, the dancers........wait, were we just in Paul Stanley's home listening to raw, unedited, crushingly spine tingling rock vocals??? Take that coronavirus.
Andy McAndy ...Well Said!...👏🏽👍🏽👊🏽

I LOVE KISS
Hi Paul, thanks for bringing us into your home, and sharing a very important message. We missed you guys in Australia during the last tour. Great video, cheers mate.
Paul has always been my favorite member of KISS. He is so grounded and real.
