    There is a very simple reason why Jonesy is the absolute best "interviewer". He doesn't interview anyone. He just talks with people. Like they were in his living room.

      Yes! Exactly! That's why I love it! It *seems* like he's only half awake and almost doesn't care. But he totally does. And he's seen it all. But lest we forget: He's an actual Living Legend. Jonesy for King of the World!

      Much of the over the top stuff was partly an act. Gene said a long time ago if you want to be a rock star you have to act like one. And if you want people to love you you have to love yourself. Not his exact words . But it was something similar. Plus they are pros at selling what ever current version of KISS. People get mad when they say unfavorable things about Ace and Peter. But all 4 has participated in mud slinging. It’s also hard not to say anything when your constantly asked about it.

From memory the high points included him saying that Peter didn't have anything to do with writing Beth (or any of the other co-writes he shared with him over the years) and that he couldn't write music at all. Given he's never recorded a song that didn't feature at least one co-writer, it does make you wonder.

      BUDDY! EVERY BAND IS ALL BUSINESS! The industry resentment towards KISS was for thier not trying to hide it. The "Rock industry" had worked really hard to distract and train the public away from its corporate "business as usual" money making ways. KISS came along and said "Fuck that, let's just let Rock N'Roll be what it is" they didn't try and hold up the pretense that they were starving artist, or ashamed to make money. Make no mistake, aside from the Sex Pistols they were the single most threatening act to the established music industry. Why do you think Roling Stone (The #1 source for B.S Rock propaganda "We aren't a business" "we are playing for cultural change and artistic integrity") hated them so much? The blew the doors off the fiscal facade while the pistols blew the doors of the old archretypes. Y'know, that would have been a hell of a show the Sex Pistols and KISS, funny thing is, the bands don't really sound that diffwerent , they played essentially the same style of music.

      I'm not some blind KISS maniac who obsesses over the band. Over the years, I've seen the original lineup, the no makeup lineup with Kulick, and the new band with Tommy & Eric. The original lineup show was incredible (the re-union tour) - I was definitely seeing KISS. The no-makeup show in Philly was only about half-full, (this was when they has the big Sphinx head as a set backdrop) but they definitely rocked, and I still felt that I was seeing KISS doing something different. The new band, which I saw here in Japan - for me it was not great and not something I'd pay for again, not trying to diss them but that's how it was for me. With all that said, I give Gene and Paul total respect for their 40+ year career. I appreciate them and wish them the best going forward. Final thought: ACE !!! Fkn Ace baby, that's where the soul of KISS is!!! Ace is one of the coolest MF'ers in Rock, he's up there close to Keith Richards territory as a Rock n' Roller.

    Paul is the reason that kiss is still around in the late 80’s and even into 1990 Gene was worried more about making movies then being in a band and Paul really took the band by the horns and made sure that they were were still moving forward and although he was not happy with all of the results having to fill in for Gene when he was not there to record new material or shoot sn interview or redo some of his takes for the new album Paul did what he had to to keep the band relevant and run the day to day operations when he could have said screw it I have my Millions I will just kick back until Gene wants to hold up his end! He knew the best thing was to keep moving forward fill in what gapes needed to be filled and write and produce as many songs by his self to complete the next record. By the time it came to make Revenge Gene was back and n
    Knew he had blown it and as a band they all put there heart and soul into Revenge which is my favorite album and. Huge hit for kids Putting them back on top again. Paul says it best Gene make’s Paul better and Paul makes Gene better and together they are unstoppable!

    Whether a fan of Paul Stanley or not, now I'm no English Professor but I don't believe he's ever given a bad interview. He has lived what most have only dreamed but he also has had determination and the work ethic that will breed nothing else but success. I haven't been a KISS fan since I discovered Boston but Paul Stanley, I will always be a fan. Again, determination and hard work will allow great success. Yes, a little luck and/or good timing must certainly float down the creek for you.

    This is a great interview. It's a cool one cause back in the day, you were either a Kiss fan or a Pistols fan, and it was like an undeclared war between the two factions of fans. It wasn't until around '85 or so when it was ok to like both scenes, and we can thank bands like Metallica, DRI, COC, Raw Power, Slayer, Anthrax and many others for that. I was a huge Kiss fan back in the mid to late 70's, then aroound 77 - 78 I heard Never Mind The Bollocks.....and was very impressed. Then I saw the Ramones on Don Kirshner's Rock Concert and was blown away at how they sounded. After reading for a year or so prior to hearing those 2 bands how the punk bands were just noise and spitting and vomiting, I thought just the opposite, they were great, guitar based rock and roll bands who had just as much to offer as the hard rock bands of the time. I remember seeing an interview with Joe Perry who was one of the hard rock guys who "got it" when the punk bands showed up and took it the right way and wasn't threatened by the punk bands but rather saw it for what it was, a reaction against the bloated rock scene of the time and not a direct attack on all bands from that era. And now, 40 years on, here's 2 of the more iconic figures from each scene having a chat on Steve Jones' radio show.....really cool. Cheers to both of them for changing my life for the better all those years ago.

      I was born in 1974, the year that they introduced their self-titled introduction. Then I grew up in a roller rink, so everything I did, anywhere I went, KISS joined us.
      More than feeling like part of the band, or like I dealt with them in person (though I have seen them live), KISS wrote what feels like the "theme song" to my life, since their music is in so many of my memories both growing up & as an adult.

    Paul Stanley discusses his love for Roy Wood.

I tell people all the time: have an open-mind about music and understand why your hero loves their heroes. They may just become your heroes, too
