It's great to see that father and son bonding in a way that musicians are passionate about playing. Paul is so talented and his son is living proof of that!
Thought your playing was awesome Evan! Regardless, do what you feel as long as its right and dont worry about what anyone thinks. They thought Led Zeppelin's debut would crash like a "zeppelin" in the early reviews.
@gillan64 no its not. No one gives credit to rhythm guitar most people are obsessed with solos. Most great rhythm guitarists are remembered for their solo work. Look at evh and hendrix... Theor rhythm playing was the best part of what they did but everyone always thinks of solos whne they think of evh
Paul can play lead too. the “World Without Heroes” solo is Gilmour-esque. he’s never got his due as a guitar player. you try standing in 7 inch heels, play King Of The Nighttime World and SING.
God damn there's a lot of hate on this channel. all paul did was buy a guitar for his son. Paul started with nothing and with gene built an empire. are they the best players in the world? you decide for yourself...but the hatred directed toward a father and son playing guitars is just unfathomable.
I got a late start in music appreciation in life. I'm a beginner singer, guitar player and song writer. I've been trying to interact socially with other musicians, most better than me of course, and I honestly have never seen a more arrogant, rude, socially incorrect group of people in my life. It's a little disheartening because I want to be a part of the music scene and I want to embrace it, but wow... it's not what I would have imagined. Artists should be the redeemers of society. - I take it back. I have met a worse group of people, atheists. I think most of these rock based musicians are atheists so that probably explains it all.
Listen to his audio book here on boobtube. He explains it all. He is defensive when not all made up and on stage. He was bullied when he was a youngster and had shitty parents.
Paul's son looks like a real nice kid. Guitar skills to boot. Watching a few of these vids from Norman's feels awkward. Like the stars would rather not be bothered.
I grew up with Paul as one of my teenage idols. It's so cool to see him as a normal dad getting a guitar with his kid. The theme of the video is great! Thanks, Paul for being willing to be in the video impromptu. It means a lot.
I was lucky enough to sit with Paul and his family at a Christmas party a few years ago. He was really quiet and soft spoken. I was a huge Kiss fan when I was younger, so it was a bit of a dream come true. It was very hard to not ask him about Kiss. We did talk guitars and amps a bit. I play an Iceman, and find it easier, faster and far more comfortable than my mid 70's Strat, an SG, and Les Paul. His son is pretty good. Its nice to see a father and son share a passion for something. That seems to be a rare thing to come by anymore.
I met Gene SImmons at the NAM show and got his autograph and he was one of th coolest guys i talked to at that show. Paul seems like a preety cool dude too. I always loved kiss.
Paul, the writer and performer of decades’ worth of huge hits, has absolutely NO hesitation in pointing to the very obvious talents of his dear son. Hats off to the Starchild !
Yes people are born with natural ability. Artists of all kinds are born with natural ability. They either use it or it lays dormant. Everyone has some natural gift they naturally lean towards. That is why you have some that are just awesome and some that can't play no matter how many lessons they are given. My aunt played a piano without ever having ONE lesson by a music instructor she played by ear, could hear a song once and play it and not miss one note.
How do you thumbs down this video. It is super cool and a dad is getting his son a guitar. Thank God the kid is playing Guitar instead of being stuck in Playstation and bad heroin. The kid sounds pretty good. The boy deserves a nice guitar and his pop has the pockets to buy him one or ten...... I am not even a kiss fan but after listening to Pauls book here on youtube I have a new found respect for Paul Stanley. He is a hard worker and has been at it for 40 years plus.
So cool to see Father and Son sharing the same interests. Whether it’s fishing, hunting, racing, music. And Dad says, he’s already way better than me. So humble. Your Chauffeur J Bruce, Hollywood North.
There are many KISS fans and detractors out there for sure. The only other name bands that have as many line up changes and have remained at the top of their genre are Chicago and Yes. Indeed, after 40+ years of constant touring and album releases, KISS is still at the top of the food chain. Having seen some videos of Paul's boy playing around at various sound checks, he can really play quite well, no joke! It's nice to see a big name star's kid take advantage of his good luck to develop his or her own skills rather than just munching on cheese puffs by the pool! It's great to see Paul investing some real parent time in his son and making sure that his boy has skills to help himself in life rather than just living large on his dad's name. Great job there Paul!
I disagree about Chicago, they have never been the same since Terry Kath died! In fact they changed genres, they went from being a Rock & Roll band to an easy listening band, Terry was the Rock & Roll heart of that band and he balanced out Cetera's tendencies to be a wimp!!!
Well, I wouldn't disagree with your assessment of the watering down effect but unfortunately that happens to many bands as they age and go through lineup changes. Nonetheless, Chicago has remained popular even if they have changed directions to help sell albums. I prefer the older version myself but wouldn't mind being their management company. Take care!
No doubt . Evan has done well for a child of a Rock Star and Paul [Star Child ] is a Rock star if there ever was one . Takes a lot of time and dedication to become as good a player as he is and I too commend Paul for spending quality time with Evan . Cool vid and thoughtful comment Paul.
Thanks for sharing! Evan is very talented for his age;I saw him jamming with KISS during a recent soundcheck rehearsal &he was awesome! Paul is THE BEST Singer/Frontman/Performer/Songwriter/ Artist on The Planet!!!!!!!! He is obviously my favorite entertainer,&KISS has been my fave band since I was 5 yrs. old &I'm turning 40 in October! KISS has never let me down !
Harder and harder to make a living from music these days, but we need to keep some traditions alive. Blues/ rock rules. You have to keep practicing and playing and performing.
Paul that kid of your's is a smoking next generation player, you must be so proud of him not just becouse of his talent but he seem's very humble and down to earth. So great job paul on many level's.
Thanks for your comment and supports, your comments and constant support has brought me this far. Keep Supporting ❤️ Please send me a mail Paulstanley076@gmail.com
Wow! 12 years ago since this happened already. Norm and Paul talking away Paul's Son: Just fucking ripping in the background I love the proud look and words of support Paul has for his son. Also the way his son says "thanks dad" in the beginning.
It's really annoying when somebody is talking and the other person is playing, wait till they are finish talking and then play . Most of Norms videos are like this, He should do something about it.
relicsun yes because they have beautiful guitars in their hands and their hands just don’t wanna stop even if someone is talking. But I think Norm wants this because it helps sell his guitars.
Kiss seem to be all total class, working man's ethic. I opened for Gene Simmons a few days ago in Oberhausen. He could'nt have been a cooler guy. PS seems to be same. I went home with awesome memories for a lifetime
You're kidding right? here's the thing about that......sure KISS music is very BASIC rock. It's got a formula to it that works and sold millions of records. If your lucky enough get on board that train and ride it for decades to mega millions of dollar success.......you DON'T FUCK UP THE RIDE......even if it means rehashing the same LAME CRAP for years. But really..... any guitar player who is in the business and plays DAILY for decades can't help but get to be pretty good over time. Nothing in Paul Stanley's playing in this clip surprised me much. He never was drug infested and/or sidelined with stupid behavior. I mean does it really surprise you to find out he can play more than just the songs and stuff he did with KISS? 5 decades of playing everyday......I bet this only scratching the surface.
Dogboy1960 I guess my ignorance is showing i'm just used to seeing him play nursery rhyme songs with KISS and i have never seen any footage of him playing blues, country or any other challenging music. I just though he was a one-trick pony.
A Val Don't be too hard on yourself. Most of us, especially early on, just assumed Kiss played simple riffs and chords because that's all they were capable of.....back then it might even have been the case. But really....play long enough, everyday....and you have to get bored and attempt to learn something new. It's hard to feel sorry for Paul Stanley. Sure, he's STUCK playing lame ass KISS songs when playing arenas to crowds in the 10s of thousands at a time...... poor guy has only his millions of dollars to comfort him and compensate him for the CRAP he has to just keep playing over and over when the make up is on and screaming KISS fans want to nothing more than Rock and Roll All Night and Detroit Rock City. :-) Today.... with millions in the bank.... It's not hard to imagine he probably gets more enjoyment out of playing in small venues with his son these days. I'd imagine you, me and most people.... might all be really surprised by the set list he plays when ever he isn't on stage in grease paint and Gene Simmons on Bass.
Why? At 56 I remember all too well wearing out records playing and replaying tiny bits of the solos I wanted to recreate and learn from....... in more recent years I'm amazed at how much easier and faster a young kid can progress today. It's going to produce more/better players than our generation and the generations before us ever did. I wonder how many "kids" in the 1960s, 70s, 80s and 90s.....that had real potential to be something great gave up too soon because honestly it was just so very hard to learn and expand what you know.......today it's easy to stay inspired and you can find endless inspiring stuff to add to your abilities. The only limits now are found in your own dedication to it and natural talent you attempt to build on. How is that a "problem"?
How is having better access to education and materials a bad thing? Are you into willfully being ignorant or something? Must be a christian republican.... I'm older and have learned in all kinds of different ways and I'm loving how easy it is to find all kinds of different lessons, info, songs, tabs, theory, performances, old footage, - whatever, with ease these days. It's awesome. I'm learning and finding sources of inspiration constantly. Plus I have the opportunity to check out players and styles I wouldn't normally encounter in my day to day life or that are outside of my favorite genres and that can be inspiring as well. Side note - it's amusing to me how normal Paul Stanley's kid looks. For that kid to rebel against his dad he almost has to be totally normal. :P
Good evening Norman just listening to Elvis love child from Alabama playing the Gibson es 125 what he bought fantastic sound from 1959 version always listening from United Kingdom from the city of Manchester from big Kev cheers and Keep On Rockin love the t-shirts
Evan is a fine player, alls he needs is a shot of his dad's ego, he seems a bit shy..also seems like a very respectful kid for someone who grew up Paul Stanley's son..refreshing to see.
PAUL rocks and the fact that he spends time with his son just tought me a great lesson, I need to go back to my doughter been in the net to damm long, great lesson from such a great ROCK HERO
Rifle Twist hell yes they think everyone had thousands to blow on gear. Plus they treat the common player like dirt. I busted my ass saving for over a year for a certain guitar I wanted I was going there all the time and just look and when I finally had enough they made a few comments that made me feel like dirt saying wow it took you this long to save up for this guitar that's pretty bad what they don't know is when you have sick family it's hard to get any money together I will never shop there again
Grow up people. If you cant afford to buy a good guitar then shop elsewhere. I am in Australia but I would expect that if I were there I would shop atNorms. Its famous all over the world. I'm sure he doesn't have to worry about people that want to buy a $500 guitar.
Red TV Productions Yeah but his staff don't have to be pricks to those that do want regular guitars. If they really hate people who buy sub-$1000 guitars that much they shouldn't sell them in the first place.
I don't know how his staff treat people who want cheaper models. If they are pricks then I would shop elsewhere. Just remember you get what you pay for and if they have chosen to cater to the people that want higher end guitars then I imagine its best not to stock them. He is trying to preserve his reputation for good instruments and as I say, I would travel there if I wanted to buy one. I really wouldn't want to see dozens of people off the street demoing or playing around with cheap guitars.
Kiss was the BOMB when I was 14!!!, good times. No matter what happens in the future, nothing will be able to stack up to the 70's. For real....*DROPS MIC*
+theelder91 you know nothing at guitar, the only thing that sucks is your comments, Ace is really good player, just check on youtube, and Paul's son is good too, stop being a fanboy
It's great to see that father and son bonding in a way that musicians are passionate about playing. Paul is so talented and his son is living proof of that!
He mimes there's heaps of videos here YT catching him out miming!
They seem like a perfectly normal father & son spending quality time on a common interest they both can share.
+Bobby McMinn You expected different?
Good Dad and good kid. From what I saw on Gene Simmons TV show he had good kids too. More power to them and their wives and familys
Herman and Eddie Munster.
Very respectful kid...and very talented.
MysticalLibra how? He seems like a respectful young man. Norman did say to play & while they spoke.
Robert Botello what
Please, don't judge my playing, I was just noodling checking out a cool guitar.
-evan
Your doing great man. Excellent feel. Maybe check out some jazzy blues and for Travis picking Tommy Emmanuel keep rockin
You play pretty good, Evan. I’m sure you’ve gotten even better in the last 9 years. Follow in your pop’s footsteps. 🤙🏼
I judge that it’s great
To the contrary, I like how you didn’t feel compelled to show off
Thought your playing was awesome Evan! Regardless, do what you feel as long as its right and dont worry about what anyone thinks. They thought Led Zeppelin's debut would crash like a "zeppelin" in the early reviews.
Old School fan of KISS from the early day's and glad to see one of my Rock faves spending quality time with his child , well done Paul !
Paul is CLASS ACT!...Criminally underraetd rhythm player!

I never knew they were such good friends.
Yeah the movie " Zohan & Rambo Spanglished" should be out soon
Best comment so far! Nailed it !

@@portauthority888 Wrong, it should be supercool ;)
That father has the coolest kid who plays blues much better.
@@urmondaymorinin9838 agreed..
It’s nice to see Paul taking the time to be a Dad. He’s a great showman at home and on stage.
When Paul isn't in starchild mode he's always got his arms crossed and is very reserved. He's such a different guy than his stage persona.
Ok? Paul doesn’t have to be putting on some kind of show for people everywhere he goes😭😂
@@irocbrock3963 Just an observation bro. As such an outgoing frontman it's just surprising to see how reserved he is off stage.
@@mikemurphy1208 I think he’s like that because he doesn’t want to seem so full of himself. Seems like he’s a pretty humble guy
Listen to his audio book here on boobtube. He explains it all. He is defensive when not all made up and on stage. He was bullied when he was a youngster and had shitty parents.
Did you notice how intent his focus was on watching his son play? That's a proud father....

Seems like a nice kid. Glad he's not a douche because he has a famous dad.
Actually Paul is pretty cool when not in front of cameras promoting Kiss. Very down to earth.

Paul actually impressed me a bit.. nice little runs,
I was lucky enough to sit with Paul and his family at a Christmas party a few years ago. He was really quiet and soft spoken. I was a huge Kiss fan when I was younger, so it was a bit of a dream come true. It was very hard to not ask him about Kiss. We did talk guitars and amps a bit.
I play an Iceman, and find it easier, faster and far more comfortable than my mid 70's Strat, an SG, and Les Paul.
His son is pretty good. Its nice to see a father and son share a passion for something. That seems to be a rare thing to come by anymore.
Wow. Gotta say I'm impressed with Paul's playing here, but his son he is great! Nice job Stanley family!
Always wonderful to watch a father connect well with his son.
I met Gene SImmons at the NAM show and got his autograph and he was one of th coolest guys i talked to at that show. Paul seems like a preety cool dude too. I always loved kiss.
Gene Simmons is a total asswipe
Met Gene in 02. He was very cool with me.
Love you Paul. Big fan. Good luck.
Paul Stanley a living legend
Paul, the writer and performer of decades’ worth of huge hits, has absolutely NO hesitation in pointing to the very obvious talents of his dear son. Hats off to the Starchild !
Nice to see a father and son get on so well. His son's great!
a good dad-n-son moment; puts a smile on the face of fathers
The son has chops, no doubt.
+Ishbu101 he sounds great - Paul seems to know 1 or 2 licks LOL
In fact, the kid plays waaaay better the blued.
The legacy lives on…..and just like my son, he takes it to the next level. What a great feeling.😊
Pretty cool. No one is born with the natural ability to play. Looks like Paul's son has been putting some of the hard work in. I hope he does well.
Yes people are born with natural ability. Artists of all kinds are born with natural ability. They either use it or it lays dormant. Everyone has some natural gift they naturally lean towards.

i think Paul seems like the sweetest kindest person out there! seems like an awesome dad!
I didn’t doubt Paul when he said the kid could play... but I was happy to see he had the soul to go with it.
LOL. "I wanted a doctor but got a little bluesman". Paul is genuinely proud of the boy

Ever notice how when rock stars try out guitars, they never play any of their own tunes?
Paul was always the coolest member of KISS. Always thought he was a genuinely nice guy that really never let it all go to his head.
paul Stanley has always been an underrated player
That’s because he’s very average.
you can tell paul truly loves his kid ...what a legend.
paul looks pretty good for about 65.
he can afford to look good at about 65
He'd probably think not, he was 57 when this vid was uploaded
+john dennis Yes but parts of him are much younger.
I just wish there was some bro off in the back of this video when Paul was playing yelling "Play Cold Gin! Love Gun yea!!"
This is like passing of the torch. These guys are dying off.
Even Paul Stanley & his son were it all started...with the blues!!! Good for him!
Kid can play!!!
Man what talent these two have lol Paul's looking at Evan as he's playing like a true proud papa I'd love to be able to play as good as these guys

Yes. A Jew, with a Jew fro.

Side note - it's amusing to me how normal Paul Stanley's kid looks. For that kid to rebel against his dad he almost has to be totally normal. :P
Jolly Voqar wow you sure showed them.
Adrian Lee anything can be used badly, not just the internet
Very cool kid. Father pays him a real compliment and he replies, "Thanks, Dad". He is a hell of a player.
Imagine being Paul Stanley’s son
this kid rocks, seems like a good heart too, I have the feeling this isn't the last we'll be hearing from him!
Wonder if the kid ever paints a star around his eye just to fuck with dad??
This is pretty cool!!
Imagine goin to see Uncle Gene
billyclub56 Hahahaha
How about uncle Ace lol
I can't play for shit, but love Normans love of great musicians and the modesty of who comes into his store, would love to spend the day there
Kid’s good👍
Good evening Norman just listening to Elvis love child from Alabama playing the Gibson es 125 what he bought fantastic sound from 1959 version always listening from United Kingdom from the city of Manchester from big Kev cheers and Keep On Rockin love the t-shirts
Evan got a good feel for playing the blues...
@ Blacklist, the tune is called "Hide Away" by the Late Bluesman Freddie King.
Was hoping to hear a few riffs...
Father and son playing guitar together Priceless.
That's not Paul Stanley's son, that's Michael Cera Jr.
Evan is a fine player, alls he needs is a shot of his dad's ego, he seems a bit shy..also seems like a very respectful kid for someone who grew up Paul Stanley's son..refreshing to see.
The most skillful member of kiss.
And the most mentally stable....
PAUL rocks and the fact that he spends time with his son just tought me a great lesson, I need to go back to my doughter been in the net to damm long, great lesson from such a great ROCK HERO
Buyer Beware...whatever you find at Norm's Rare Guitars, you can find on the internet for CHEAPER and the sales pressure here is overwhelming.
that is anywhere...Guitar center also
Rifle Twist hell yes they think everyone had thousands to blow on gear. Plus they treat the common player like dirt. I busted my ass saving for over a year for a certain guitar I wanted I was going there all the time and just look and when I finally had enough they made a few comments that made me feel like dirt saying wow it took you this long to save up for this guitar that's pretty bad what they don't know is when you have sick family it's hard to get any money together I will never shop there again
Grow up people. If you cant afford to buy a good guitar then shop elsewhere. I am in Australia but I would expect that if I were there I would shop atNorms. Its famous all over the world. I'm sure he doesn't have to worry about people that want to buy a $500 guitar.
Red TV Productions Yeah but his staff don't have to be pricks to those that do want regular guitars. If they really hate people who buy sub-$1000 guitars that much they shouldn't sell them in the first place.
I don't know how his staff treat people who want cheaper models. If they are pricks then I would shop elsewhere. Just remember you get what you pay for and if they have chosen to cater to the people that want higher end guitars then I imagine its best not to stock them. He is trying to preserve his reputation for good instruments and as I say, I would travel there if I wanted to buy one. I really wouldn't want to see dozens of people off the street demoing or playing around with cheap guitars.
I went to summer camp with Evan Stanley almost 15 years ago, hilarious to see him here of all things.
Whatever you do, just keep that kid away from the Pie......
🤷🏼♂️
If you get it you get it 😂
@@jackshaffer1623 I don't get it.
Wdym
@@thomasm2047 have you not seen the movie?
Keep rocking Paul Stanley. Don't stop.
Jimmy from GTA 5.....
Ryan Pearce not even close...
Kiss was the BOMB when I was 14!!!, good times. No matter what happens in the future, nothing will be able to stack up to the 70's. For real....*DROPS MIC*
Sometimes I can't recognize Paul without the makeup to be honest the first time I saw them without it
Also holy shit his son is an awesome guitarist, like damn... He's maybe better than Paul himself, and he was in KISS
John Savage Yes?
John Savage I gotcha, happens to a lot of people
+B ANDERSON I know that
Norman has a really good business going to be having all these famous musicians showing up at his store.
Wonder who taught that kid to play the guitar.
Mathead ace did
if ace did, then paul's son would have sucked bad. like ace.
LOL, damn.
+theelder91 you know nothing at guitar, the only thing that sucks is your comments, Ace is really good player, just check on youtube, and Paul's son is good too, stop being a fanboy
The internet man, today you don't even need to own records let alone drop a needle and try to play along. No excuse to suck in 2017!
Cool daddy, cool son. Cool Norman. Coooooool Guitar Shop! I'll visit you someday. Best wishes & happy new year from Austria 🇦🇹.
Paul should have started playing "Lets put the X in Sex"
Haha, I busted out laughing on that one.
Bwahahahaha
what ever
I wonder if Evan can dream up amazing Melodie’s like his dad?!! That’s a whole other gift in of itself!
The dad is cooler than the son lol
Cool to see. Paul's son is surprisingly talented. The fact that he took to the blues is a stark contrast to what his father did.
when i was a kid everyone wanted to ses kiss w/out make up
now they want to see kiss with make up. its almost mandatory
Hey, great video!
The Song that Evan plays is "Hideaway" from the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton
- BEANO Album from 1966!
How annoying talking while playing
