Favorite KISS song? Got a cool KISS story? Let us know in the comments below!
Washburn should sue Gibson ?
Seriously I hope Gibson can pay off all legal fees and does not end up owned by a group of attorneys who know the law better than they do
This was the best interview you ever did. My favourite kiss song is impossible to pick out,so lets say its dr love today.
Makin love is one of my favorites it just ROCKS
my favorite song is Let Me Go Rock 'N Roll
If we don't get a "The Collection: Jimmy Page" while he's still with us I will be extremely disappointed. After Slash he's the only other Gibson artist I really want to see
🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼
Add Tomy Iommi !
X2 c’mon Gibson!
Billy Gibbons
Mark Knopfler!!!!!!
I met the band, starting with Paul, during the Kiss Alive 3 tour/promotion campaigns. They were sitting in the sun behind a mall outside of Buffalo, NY when the cd came out. I had just broken my back and was in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down at 17 years old. I get there, the line wraps around the mall almost 3 times! I see that and I knew in my condition that I couldn't sit in the sun that long so I decided to leave.
One of the guys that worked for the band saw me leaving and asked if I'd gotten my stuff signed. I told him what happened. He said "c'mon with me" and took me right to the front of the line. This was just before they were starting to sign. So, Paul was at the right-hand of the table, in the 1st position to where the line was and i go to him, grab the pile of stuff i had and right away the security guard behind him pushes the stuff back my way and says "pick ONE thing!!" Paul, grabs his arm and says "leave him alone, it's ok!" and signs EVERYTHING in his perfect signature and spoke with me a little abt why I was in the chair. Then he pushed everything to Gene who also signed everything. The other 2 guys only signed the new cd bc everything else was from the 70s.
Paul and that original security guy treated me like Kiss Family. I may have lost insterest in the band bc of Gene's neverending greed but Paul will always be remembered by me for that day.
Great story, thanks for sharing, nice to hear how things lined up for you that day.
@@1satisfiedmind Agreed! Great story, indeed!
I hope you healed somehow and are out of the chair if not hope things are ok 👌🙂🙏✝️
It's refreshing hearing Paul not engulfed in business and drama. Watching him just geek out about guitars like the rest of us is why we love this channel.
Couldn't agree more. This was a great video
I know it's an insanely long shot but Angus Young NEEDS an episode. His SG collection must be absolutely ridiculous, and to see him talk about his fabled first SG and other well known guitars of his would be incredible. I'd love to see what he has kicking around aside from SG's too.
I'd love to see his Marshall collection too.
Largest collection of vintage Marshalls in the world
Please get Angus. Angus Young and Tony Iommi are why I play an SG. As a teenager, I could never afford an SG. In 1996 I joined the Marine Corps and within the first few weeks after being sent to my duty station in KBay Hawaii I used my untouched money from boot camp and School of Infantry to finally buy an SG. I still own the same guitar and play it to this day in my band. Please, get Angus on here.
I was stationed there 82 - 85. Semoer Fi.
@clockpole4516
Cool story bro!
(not being sarcastic)
I really appreciate Paul’s take on reissues being valid and often better than many originals. Very unpretentious perspective.
I wouldn't know. I'd probably never find out myself. But Paul....would.
It's great to see how much he really loves these instruments.
The Iceman guitar is my favorite, then the Destroyer
He's in a promotional video for the company that makes the reissues. Of course he's gonna say the new ones are better.
@@starchores Fair point.
I’m not a Kiss fan but respect their legacy. Paul is an AMAZING guy and this is one of the best interviews Mark has done.
I never understood why someone felt the need to say they're not a fan before giving a compliment. Talk about making it about yourself.
@@LinkRocksI don’t see a problem with that. It is usually assumed someone is when they compliment a musician. In this instance if a non-fan writes a compliment it shows even more so that this is a great interview.
😮🍆🍆🍆🍆😮🍆🍆🍆🍆😮🍆🍆🍆glug glug mofo
@@LinkRockswell it is their comment 🤷🏻♀️
@LinkRocks It's just showing that even though he's not a fan , he's still appreciates the work that he's done. I've never been a kiss fan either but these guys are legendary.
I love how Paul Stanley doesn't overglorify vintage instruments and acknowledges that not all of them were perfect and many of them had flaws
The fact you showed his non-Gibson collection too, that makes me respect you even more as a company, great interview
As a lifelong KISS fan, this is truly golden. Wonderful interview and show and tell.
I’ve never been a KISS fan, but I am now a Paul Stanley fan.
Check out his autobiography. The audio version with him reading it is especially good.
I only got into Kiss last year when I watched their last MSG show on UTube. Paul is amazing. I've been a life long fan of The Who. Paul's stage presence & him on that zip wire!
Paul Stanley originally Stanley eisen..... Highly intelligent... Speaks so fluently and gives tremendous thoughts before answering questions.....
If you can listen to every kiss record from the debut to dynasty and not like them, then there's a problem.
Same. I gained a lot of respect for him after watching.
Childhood friend of mine was a Kiss fanatic, Paul was his hero. He was lucky enough to meet him by chance in a hotel bar back the 90s. Said that Paul was very polite and unpretentious. Good to hear about a fan encountering his hero and having it be a positive experience.
I love how Paul gets excited talking guitars; especially in such a down-to-earth, unpretentious way. Even after all these years the love of his instrument hasn't faded. The best interview, so far.
Never fails to impress me just how much of a grounded and decent guy Paul Stanley is. Always strikes me as a really gentle and decent guy 👏🏼
Just listen to him talking about Peter and Ace, and it will change your mind.
@@evangelistbrianbaker I know they have history, I’m sure he has good reason, that’s none of my business.
Even his attitude towards guitars is cool.... not a lot of super expensive vintage stuff.
Well said, this shows in the interview!
@@balke7935I hear you in that. He can get quite nasty. However, as the years go on, he’s been proven right time and time again. Dealing with addiction + ego is not an easy task.
Thank you for taking us into the KISS Warehouse, and having Paul tell us his incredible story through these beautiful guitars 🙏 As life-long major KISS fans, this is so fascinating!
What a beautiful, humble, lovely brother -- bless you Mr. Stanley. Bless you Mark and Gibson for sharing this visit with us 🖤⚡️
Kiss represents so much to me, is the band my father showed me when I was a kid, he passed away when I was 5. Watching this video reminds me how important a music instrument can become to a person, how many stories it can bring. Paul Stanley such a gentleman and a rockstar. Respect. Cheers from Ecuador.
Such a treat to see a couple of guitar guys covering 60 years of electric guitar history
Life long Kiss fan and hearing this interview with Paul gives me new respect for the legacy.
grow up.
@@MrRidleyDog What does that even mean?
@@jasonbates2687 KISS is a children's band of clowns, not a serious rock band.
@@MrRidleyDog why are you here then mouth breather?
@@MrRidleyDogYet here you are commenting on the video.
You forgot your red nose and horn pal.
Agnesi did an excellent job with this interview…Paul seemed very comfortable and really opened up to Mark…Well done! 👏
This man came into the store I was managing in the 1970's in St. Louis. He was very polite and very smart. He tried out a 1959 Les Paul Sunburst. He was very excited about how it sustained unplugged (if I remember correctly he bought it). You could see he wasn't a guitar enthusiast, He truly loved guitars. He was a pleasant surprise.
Mark. I have absolutely LOVED The Collection BUT Paul Stanley of KISS is for me, the best thus far. Thank You.
Paul in his peak was unmatched, one of the greatest rock front men and guitarists. Add to that songwriter, artist and producer. It's funny I never associate Paul with Gibson Guitars even though he used them in the 70's, in Kiss the fans saw Ace Frehley playing the Les Pauls and maybe the most iconic was his Black Beauty. Ace had a huge influence on so many people to buy a Gibson Guitar even to this day. As we all know the Ace Frehley Custom Gibsons have proven to be the best investments. Ace has had so much of an influence on so many bands in the 80's 90's 2000's. I loved seeing that Ibanez prototype & mirror, to me that's the Paul Stanley style guitar. Pauls double neck Sunburst is a special guitar for the hardcore 70 Kiss fans if you know Hard Luck Woman
Actually Ace’s most iconic was the Cherry Sunburst,as Ace said because at that time Kiss had exploded. It’s a 73 Custom which he still owns! Unfortunately he pawned his original 1959! Another was his 1973 Deluxe Tobacco Burst Deluxe 2 pickup later a 3 pickup! If you watch them live at the Summit in 78 you see both in use 77-80 was their peak.
Finally. Paul is one of the most underrated riff writers in rock. Thanks for giving him a spotlight for his guitars.
I’ve meet Paul backstage in Boston twice and he is as great of a person as you could ever imagine. At that time I was 51 and my first KISS show was when I was 15 at the orpheum theater in Boston. I showed him my ticket stub with the $8.50 price on it, he was blown away and so grateful for me as a fan.
Everyone in the band was awesome!! We will miss you KISS!
Paul Stanley is a legend
The most impressive thing about Paul Stanley is that he only has hearing in one ear. Not only could he play and sing at a super high level..but he could produce bands and mix in stereo..all with one ear.
Agreed
He is a disgusting pervert.
And a pretty cool guy
He's the more down to earth, chill, empathic version - as compared to Gene...
KISS - FEB ‘76 AT THE LA FORUM. 16 YEARS OLD AND MY VERY FIRST CONCERT…MY JAW DROPPED AND I’VE BEEN “HOOKED” ON LIVE MUSIC EVER SINCE…
My first concert I was getting smooshed on the barrier in front of the stage for a Kiss G.A. show in March 1976 - Springfield MA. I was 16 also.
The way Mark looked at Paul when he said he refinished the 59 burst
My fave "Paul guitar" will always be the black Firebird from the cover of KISS Alive. I was lucky to be able to sit down with him and share a pizza in a Chinese restaurant in Terre Haute, Indiana and ask him about its demise. Kisstory.
Paul Stanley. Artist. Songwriter. Musician. Entertainer. Guitarist. Producer. Painter. Mentor. Icon. IS my Spirit Animal.
I have seen KISS many times. As well as I got to meet Paul once. Also saw him in Toronto as the Phantom of the Opera.
Love who this man is !!~ Great interview.
I must say, this is in my opinion one of if not the best video on this channel!
He seems like a great guy, humble, cool guy!! Never thought I would say that about a kiss band member!
It’s true if you look back to your youth (I’m 54) and think back and remember how huge this band was!!
They were the original showman with crazy good concerts and good catchy rock songs!!
Much respect to him and the rest of the band, and great interview!
Really, overall…….FANTASTIC INTERVIEW 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
Love to see Paul being so humble and honest about his experience with guitars. I agree 100% that newer guitars can often be better than any oldies.
First live show, Kiss Alive 2, at the LA Forum. 1977. Cheap Trick opened. Alive 1, Destroyer, Love Gun, Rock and Rollover…
They made Rock fun.
Great job Mark. You asked questions we all wanted to ask.
Hour and a half a half was too short. Paul… thank you for all your hard work to entertain all these years. You are a class act.
The Starchild remains the epitome of a cultural phenomenon! Growing up as a kid in the 70’s and listening to (or watching) KISS was everything! Long live the KISS ARMY!
Paul is just one of those rock legends that I would love to talk to and just absorb his presence and his stories he seems very well spoken and like someone who could talk about guitars all day which I would love to do lol
He has a Greenfield by his bed. Those are ultra-custom acoustics that cost at LEAST $20k and have to be ordered years in advance. He's currently taking orders for deliveries for 2027 if that tells you anything! Amazing collection Paul, and thank you again Mark for another fantastic The Collection video!!!
I've been a fan of Kiss for 40+ years. This was hands down the most natural interview I've EVER seen with Paul. (The guitars were kinda cool too) Thanks Mark & Gibson!
Wow that was amazing to see an absolute legend in music proud to own and play guitars that aren't all £500k + vintage guitars. Paul Stanley you are awesome, well done Gibson and Mark Agnesi 🤟🤟
Paul is a real gentleman,articulate,yet softspoken,and loves his Flying v,s,great episode
I'm a life long Kiss fan, and have been playing Gibsons for 30 years. This was a great interview and I loved seeing Pauls collection.
Great interview. I have vivid memories of listening to Kiss Alive II on my parents Sear turntable, 8 track, stereo combo with headphone on for a countless number of hours. Even if you’re not a KISS fan, you can’t help but have a ton of respect for this man and his contribution to music.
Can’t believe Gibson hasn’t done an ALIVE! Firebird
Yes!!!! Such an iconic and obvious model they need to do
Good point.
I believe it’s one of the guitars Bill Aucoin the original kiss manager had a financial and drug problems. It was told on Paul Stanley face the music book
@@MetalWizard91 I think Paul told me someone broke the neck in the studio and it could not be repaired. I'd heard Aucoin sold some stuff too but that was in the 80's?
@@kissarmy75 I never knew the neck on the firebird broke during the studio. I thought it was the early 80’s I’m gonna have to go back reading the book so I can confirm it was the case
I was the proud owner of a Gibson L6 Midnight Special in Burgundy Sparkle made for the TV show of the same name, Paul played the Champagne Sparkle version on the show
So amazing that Paul shared his instrument legacy with the collective "us." I appreciate that his Gibson and Ibanez instruments were featured. This was and is history in the making.
Thank you, I remember reading the Kiss Alive album it said "Kiss uses Gibson guitars and Pearl drums, they want the best" .... okay I had to have one... I can't believe that story about the first guitar, sane thing happened to me. Thanks again!
Thank you for a lifetime of music.
That Flying V is stunning and possibly the nicest V I’ve ever seen, make a signature model and I’m buying one!
Man, this is really a fantastic surprise, learning that Paul is so knowledgeable about vintage stuff. After seeing him playing almost exclusively brand new stuff for his entire career. Such a cool episode.
Paul is one of a kind. Thank you Mark and Gibson for this amazing interview 🙌
Excellent interview. That Jim Olsen acoustic is amazing.
It always surprises me in these interviews how much these rock icons are mostly "guitar guys" just like all the rest of us. Paul seems to really enjoy his collection and the craftsmanship of his best examples. His recall of details in the interview portions adds a lot to this episode as well.
started watching this for 10 mins, One hour thirty later..... Thanks Mark.
I met Paul when I was a kid, shopping for my first real guitar at Brian Guitars, in New Haven, CT. My guitar teacher also worked there. This was in '77 or '78. I went home with a brand new '78 Gibson Les Paul Custom, black with gold hardware.
Paul is one of my favs; writing, performing, playing, frontman, etc. I own several Ibanez PS guitars; my fav hardtail HH guitars.
Dear Mark, I have so much respect for these episodes. You are so humble and make artists talk. I know they can be shy. This was a special one!!! What a great personality Paul Stanley is. You make him possible to be like this. The guitars are brilliant!! Thanks!! Complements to Gibson giving the possibilities to make this high standard productions. It gives a lot of sympathy to the brand.
I can't imagine anyone but Mark conducting these interviews .
@@PT_English John Bollenger would be much better!
Been a KISS fan since I was a wee lad. Having Paul on The Collection was surreal. Seeing Mark in super fan mode was fun too! ✌🏻
A superstar on and off the stage. What a career. What a collection. An incredible interview.
Paul has such a calm and sincere way of telling his stories. I could easily listen to all 1.5 hours of this. He is one of the greats. I laughed when he said "I sold it to Dave Amato".
Check out his autobiography and especially the audio version of him reading it. Very enjoyable. There are many excerpts here on YT.
Hats off to you Mark! The interview is simply fantastic! The musical instrument appreciation you have regardless of brand is so genuine. My musical hero for the last 45 years The Star child Paul Stanley!
Absolutely my favorite so far… not for the guitars as much as his outlook and attitude toward playing and the instruments. A real reverence and sensibility I can really vibe with. Super cool! Thanks for doing this to Paul, Mark, and the whole Gibson crew that makes it happen. Must be a real pain to edit out to get it digestible. I’m sure there’s loads more we’d love to see that was shot.
Never been a KISS fan but this was a great interview. Paul seems like a great guy.
Amazing interview Mark!! Paul Stanley is a Rock icon! The first time I saw KISS, it was in January of 1976 at Cobo Arena in Detroit!
It was an unforgettable show in a place that would go on to be known as Detroit Rock City!
Every time I see the guys from KISS do anything, I’m transported back to 1976 when I was 12 and saw their faces for the first time! I remember hearing Destroyer on the school’s record player at lunchtime with the kid who got the record!
Someone might have already commented on this. Trogleys sold a Custom Flying V to Paul. Wonder if it is the one shown that Paul had customized. Great video Gibson.
KISS was the gatewway to harder music to sooo many great bands and musicians that came after them . There was rock'n'roll before KISS and Rock'n'Roll after KISS . This man and his three acolytes inspired millions . Great interview and amazing guitars . Thanks !!
50 years of rock and roll. I listen to kiss the first time at age of 7. Well, thats exactly 50 years ago. With 57 my love and dedication to this band is still alive ( alive 🤭) and I know I will love this band until I die. To see the cracked mirror guitar brought a tear of joy to my eye! Paul is the rockstar supreme. And I love him for so many things. Especially for keeping Kiss alive in hard times. I saw them 6 times live , two times at the reunion with ace and peter. And 4 times in the last line up. Every show was a blast. In 2017 I did a Kiss ink. The four masks on the inside of my left arm. This is for my eternal love for Kiss. Childish? Maybe, but I love this ink the same I love Kiss. They are with me my whole life. I lost jobs. Friendships and relationships broke. But there is something that is always with me. The music of kiss. So, think whatever you like about my words. It's okay and I respect your opinions. I know that my heart still beats for rock and roll. And if will ever happend to get pauls autograph on my arm....guess what my next tattoo will be! All the best to all of you. And to the fab four : thank you for 50 years! ❤❤❤❤
This is great! Paul is one of my favorites. His humility is refreshing!
Please tell me you'll do ace frehley as well!
I imagine ace sold off most of his for extra cash. It would probably be a very short interview. He only has 3 guitars on tour. 1 main lespaul, the smoker lp and the new york groove guitar.
There’s a video around here somewhere on Ace’s guitars. It isn’t by Gibson. Look for it.
This guy is the best, I like his take on guitars. I enjoyed this about 100x more than I expected to.
What an awesome interview with a true rock 'n' roll warrior and legend! I love when Paul and/or Gene just sit down and talk about their inspirations and their love of music. And all those Gibson (and PS10s) guitars are just wonderful pieces of art! Thank you Gibson TV for this fantastic interview with Paul!
I like that black flying V. If he put that in the production I'd buy one.
Same! Make it happen, Gibson!
I've been a kiss fan since I found them when I was 4. That was 35 years ago. So obviously as soon as I saw Paul on the collection I was really excited. It absolutely did not disappoint!
Fantastic interview! I’ve been a fan for 47 years. I love Paul even more after watching this. Thanks GIBSON!
Paul is refreshingly humble, with no pretentiousness (at least in this interview). I love the fact that he is advocating for modern day guitars. As long as the guitar feels good and sounds good, you can make music with it.
Kick @$$! I’m stoked for this one! Paul has been basically a top-tier collector since day one
Hell yeah. The KISS warehouse looks exactly like I thought it would lol
Its really sweet thinking of him relic'ing his cases like that, what a guy
All I can say is thank you very much for being a big part of me growing up and playing. I played my whole life ever since 1960 and got a good collection.
So how long is it gonna be before they hire Paul on as a Gibson official case ager? those things are gorgeous
Yes, surprised that so far no one commented about that. His reliced cased looked amazing, and what a niche market to step into!
If you're a fan or not, we all want to be in a band as famous as Kiss.
Congratulations on a great interview with Paul and showing us an amazing collection kiss has been my band since 75 seen them every time they've come to Australia they never disappoint they deliver exactly what is said at the start of every show you wanted the best you got the best.....kiss.....💥⚡⚡💥
Wow, this was phenomenal. Thanks so much for this episode!!
One of my hero’s. I remember way back I. The 70’s going to the grocery store in Boise, (Albertsons) and buying Kiss Destroyer (vinyl) with my lawn mowing money. Took me a couple weeks to save up for it! Never looked back since! Great episode!
Weren't those great times? I used to save up $5-6-7, whatever it was and buy an album. Later when I was older, finding a way to buy a concert ticket and concert T-shirt was magic.
Back when you could buy an album at a grocery store. Great memories.
The last time I saw an Albertsons was about 2012-2013.
@@williamlangeii4012 Target does.
@@hjmism Lots of them still in CA, UT, AZ, NV, WA, OR, NM, and ID.
1:01:24 'If you have a guitar you always have a friend' ❤ Also love that comment 01:02:12 'And that's coming from somebody who's had smoke machines and bombs onstage.' Great fun.
What an absolute gem of an interview. Brilliant artist and stunning guitar collection.
Incredible episode!! Best episode yet. KISS is the reason I love Rock and why I play guitar.
well spoken, good knowledge without totally being a gear nerd, and humble.
Man, this was SO good! Such a great series!
Is this not one of the most fascinating interviews? My god how cool is this! I don’t think I’ve heard a more authentic Paul Stanley. He’s a legend and his honesty and openness about his love for Gibson Guitars is astounding. Thank you for posting this!
It's beautiful to see a dream come true! Paul Stanley showed that! And seeing his guitars and his look of pure love is wonderful! Gibson is such a special guitar! Congratulations and thank you for this inspiring moment!
Great interview very enjoyable to watch!
Looking forward to this videos for daaaays. Thanks gibson
Awesome to see a musician who can buy any vintage guitar but prefers reissues because they work and do the job needed. 😊
There was nothing better in the seventies than being at a KISS show and seeing those guys come onstage. You knew you were in for a great time. Paul Stanley is such a cool guy. Thanks for the interview.
Excellent interview! I stood in front of Paul Stanley when Kiss played Stafford Bingly Hall 1980 in the UK. He is still entertaining and a legend!
Great Video!!!!
I love Kiss since i was a Kid!🤘🏼
Please do one with ace frehley too 🙏🏻👽
I love the story behind Paul guitars and in a kiss warehouse!!!! This cannot get any better 😊😊
RUSH is my favorite band, although, when I was 15, the KISS phase hit me as an earlier fav. I saw them during the Love Gun tour in '77 at the SF Cow Palace. Then two decades later, for the heck of it, I saw them in San Jose during their first reunion tour. At one point, when they elevate over the crowd on the platforms, and with Ace and Paul way up high and directly over my 5th row seat, Paul's sweat drenched my arm when he did a Townsend arm whirl (cool, but also yuk), and then Ace threw his pick out, which dropped right at my feet. The guys in front of me scrambled like crazy searching for it, while I simply bent down and picked it up. It was awesome! Rock on!
Great interview and collection!
Nice to see Stanley have relatively modest guitars, considering some of the items you damn well know he could have. What's important is how it feels in your hands. Great interview
Spot on!!! I think that is a reason I enjoyed this episode so much!
Not a Kiss fan but now a fan of Paul Stanley… Excellent!
