Your chance to quiz KISS frontman Paul Stanley

February 7th, 2011
01:47 PM ET

Paul Stanley is best known around the world for his high-energy performances as the frontman of hard rock super group KISS.

His on stage persona of white face paint with a black star over his right eye and red lips are as iconic as the band itself.

KISS will be releasing a new album later this year. It is their 20th studio album, and is a follow-up to 2009’s "Sonic Boom".

Stanley is writer and co-writer of many of KISS’ biggest hits, and will be taking on production duties for their latest album as well.

He is also a keen painter and made his debut exhibiting and selling works of art in 2005.

Do you have any questions you want to ask him? Anything from KISS’ latest album to his passion for painting?

Leave your questions for Paul below, and be sure to tell us where you are writing from.

    Hi Paul,

    What do you think of Peter and Ace writing books about their time in KISS? Will you read them if and when they are released? Will you ever write a similar book?

    Thank you!

    if a lot of devoted fans wants a lot of obscure songs in your concerts, you dont think that maybe you can do a special event(like you did in the recording for delilah clip), record this concert and sell like a special dvd? i think you can sell 500.000 of them....and do you planned to record most of the old classics in the retsuden vein?..good idea too!!....you are the greatest,thanks to come to venezuela!

    Hey Paul,

    Thanks for doing this, having an oppurtunity to quiz you is pretty cool. I just want to know how things are coming along on the new KISS album, is it going to be similiar to "Sonic Boom" in that your producing it and there's no outside writers involved again or even musically similiar to that album (which I want you to know I think is a great album!!)?? Thanks for taking my question, ROCK ON PAUL!!! 🙂

    Clips of your appearance at Pantages Theatre as 'Erik/Phantom' in Phantom of the Opera are on YouTube. I enver had the opportunity to see you perform this role. However, you're one of my three favorite Phantoms (Michael Crawford and Gerard Butler being the other two). Would you ever reprise the role on Broadway if the opportunity presented itself? Secondly, would you consider playing 'Phantom/Erik' in the sequel, Love Never Dies?

Sorry if you do not believe that you and Gene should do something so that us fans can change their minds? Anyway have a rest and your big fan, I respect you very much, I hope and I'm sure you'll continue to write beautiful songs, and you'll stay for a long time in showbiz.

    Paul,

    Are you aware that "The Elder" has developed a pretty large cult following among the KISS Army over the years? Would you guys ever consider playing something from it live again, like perhaps "I"?

    Sure, a lot of people wouldn't know it, but those that did would go ape-caca, and for a band that talks about how much it loves its fans, it would be a helluva gesture to those diehards like me who've been there through thick and thin, good years and bad.

    Thanks...

    Is it true that KISS drove through Stockport town centre in May 1976 on their way to play at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester. I was born in Stockport in 1974 so would have been too young to remember. My dad told me this story when I was about 13 about KISS riding through Stockport on the back of a truck in full make-up and costume with KISS music playing and throwing gifts and stuff to the crowd. He wud hav been about 20 years old at the time. Iv always wanted to know if it was true or if he jus made it up. I wud love it to be true cos I wud love to thnk of KISS doing that + me seeing them b4 I was even 2years old in my home town! Xxxx

    First, I want to thank you, as I did Mr. Simmons thirteen years ago, for recording the songs which kept me from committing suicide back during the time period between 1983 and 1987. You helped me through a horrible time when the Church did not.

    Second, I understand that you only hear out of one ear. How much trouble does your lack of hearing cause you in your interpersonal and business relationships? Do people assume you are shouting or tell you that you are too loud? I've found myself in fights throughout myself because of this and have explained the situation NUMEROUS times. This might have been okay when I was a teenager, but I'm now forty, and it is still a problem.

    People tell me to get a hearing aid, but I have been told that one won't help me-and I've explained that. The only difference is that the older I get, the more belligerent I am with my response-which doesn't help much.

    Again, thank you for everything.

    Dear Paul,

    I was fortunate enough to see KISS before they became a headliner. I remember shows where the band was listed as a headliner yet would often play last. This was after many people left the concert hall and those of us who were curious remained. What would cause 4 young men to take such a risk? Was it confidence, desperation or just insanity? By the way, we the curious faithful were usually rewarded for our waiting by seeing a great KISS performance. It was motivation enough for me and my friends to start an Army. What were you guys thinking back then?

Also once the new album has been released do you think that this will be the last Kiss album (I hope not). One last thing Paul, will this be the same as the last album in that it will only be sold exclusively at Walmart?

    Thank you.

    here are several questions i have .... please pick from any or all!!!

    1 – When Gene had his intrest and attention elsewhere, why didnt you take control of the band instead of letting him keep KISS from achieving great highest in the 80's-90's.

    2- I love the classics and I love hearing them. But will you ever play songs THAT TRUE FANS what to hear. Hell, I think it would be cool if you all did a House of Blues Tour where you played nothing but the B-sides. I'm talking about songs like, Nowhere to Run, Partners in Crime, The Oath, I, KIller, My Way, Reason to Live and more.

    3 – Since the reunion and break up you have keep the make up on. How hard has it bene for you to distance yourself from great songs and hits you had from the late 80's and 90's (non make up years). Has it appears you have been relaying heavily on the glory years and rightfully so Sonic Boom.

    4- Why Dont you use the PS 9000 guitar with KISS like you had on your solo tour.

    5- Odd's of you writing one more solo CD's

    Hello again, Paul –
    I also wanted to mention that I am an active duty service member in the Army, and have been for 15 years. I really appreciate the continuous support that you and the other KISS members have given to us, over the years. I know there are many other celebrities who support us too, and that's great. But I believe that you and KISS have been supporting us long before it was popular to do so (in other words, before 9/11). Your work as an artist, and certainly as a member of KISS, gives us relief from the daily grind of military life. I can't thank you enough, Mr. Stanley!

    Every year, where i'm from, in Southern California we have a Mid-Winter fair and fiesta, and i was wondering if you, or KISS would like to perform at an event like this. Or would you rather stick to bigger events such as the epicenter festival? Because we always have tribute bands, and i know many people who LOVE KISS, but cant afford to see you guys in concert. So we would love to see you guys here.

    Hi Paul.

    My question for you Is about guitar playing. I've been wanting to learn to play for a long time. How difficult is it to learn? what type of guitar is the best for a beginner? should I start with an acustic? Nylon or steel strings? How long did it take you to learn how to play? I heard you and Gene started out not knowing how to play an instrument! I love a good riff and can't wait for the day i'm able to play one. That is if i can ever afford to buy a guitar in the first place! good luck with the new album and with your art work!

    We all know about the power and the fury of a KISS show–the fire, the bombs, the confetti and all the rest. Does it ever bother you that despite being one of the world's great frontmen, you still don't really get your due as a songwriter, vocalist and guitarist? You are perhaps the most versatile songwriter in the band, and your vocal range is pretty amazing as well. And, you are still the most underrated guitarist out there....

    Hi Paul,
    First, thank you for being such a huge presence in my life (one of the few constants since 1975 when I discovered the band!).
    My question is, your solo album "Live To Win" is so introspective and deep, obviously dealing with some difficult times and emotions compared with some of the earlier KISS material. Both are great, mind you, and I love them both.

    What do you (Paul at 59) think of the man you were back then and what you were writing about? And what do you think the man you were then (Paul at 22) would think of you now?

    And, songs such as "Lift" talk about salvation... have you found religion or something?

    With KISS now being label as a "Brand" now, it seems that the music has taken a back seat and "KISS" is more of a novelty. In the beginning the music was everything....Do you feel that you have lost some edge as a musician and song writer? You and Gene Simmons state you give the fans what they want , which is why you explain you put out so much merchandise...Do you think its an overload of merchandise instead of music? In reality the fans want KISS- Paul, Gene, Ace, and Peter.

If y'all do a tour promoting the new album could y'all come to Alabama? I've never been to a concert of y'all's and it's my dream! Oh and you'll probably not do this but could y'all re-record some songs off "The Elder"(Yes, I'm one of the fans that LOVES The Elder) like y'all did on the Kissology CD that came with Sonic Boom? I think y'all should do an Alive! V. Also could you start playin' some 80's songs of y'all's live like stuff off Lick It Up, Unmasked, The Elder,Animalize, Asylum, and maybe even Killers!!

    PS: Thanks for playing "Crazy Crazy Nights" the last tour. I was pleasantly surprised!

You have always been my favorite member of Kiss and God knows I wrote you so much in High School, just to keep my sanity.

    Can you compare touring now vs touring in the late 70's and 80's? I've been backstage at many concerts including KISS and it seems like it is very controlled and not really a big party scene these days backstage at a KISS concert compared to other bands. I'm sure it was a lot different in the early days. Is it still as fun touring these days compared to back in the late 70's?

    that man is me Paul...Barry Carr...please do explain treating someone the way KISS has treated me at the past 2 tours...that would very eye opening...not to mention personal letter I have from Gene of how much trouble it is to deal with us KISS fans...please do man up and respond to this...legal papers alone I have demand my meet & greet be reinstated for my girlfriend & myself at show near us...the very least of an apology after the repulsive treatment that so many fans know you dealt me.

    Firstly I believe you are the best Rock'n'Roll front man of my lifetime! I am very much interested in the early preKISStory. I know the story regarding the forming of what would be KISS. What interests me greatly is the shared dream each individual had with regard to the vision of KISSes potential. Which contribution had more weight, the fact that each of you envisioned playing MSG and being the next Beatles... or the faith Bill Aucoin had in you all to help you accomplish that. By the way you are my generations Beatles! Peace and God bless you.

    Paul: You've routinely dealt with set-list requests from "die hard fans" who want to hear B-Sides / "deeper cuts," and have appropriately reminded us that KISS is always playing the tracks that the paying audience wants to hear. Nevertheless, you did go deeper in your repertoire with your solo "Live to Win" tour... which is something, as a long time fan, that I'm grateful you decided to embark upon. So which do you personally prefer... I imagine that both have their pros and cons... a smaller tour where you get to perform lesser played gems, or larger tours where you perform tracks that you've been playing OVER and OVER for the last 30+ years?

    Hi Paul. I am a loyal fan from Detroit Rock City! Do you still have aspirations to release a third solo record, considering all the success Kiss has been having the last several years? I went to Chicago for the DVD taping of "One Live Kiss" and had a great time there!

    Hi Paul (from Ontario).
    We were lucky enough to see you in the Phantom several times in Toronto but our daughter was too young then. She has since seen the band various times & is a huge fan just as I have been since the beginning of KISS. You & the band have been a great influence on both my life as a musician & my life in general. Is there any chance of a DVD of your Phantom performance? We loved it.

    Hello Paul, first of all thanks for all the years of great music & shows. KISSES music has been a major influence for me as a person as well as a musician. I have two questions, well I have a lot more than that but 2 will work for now. Do you listen too music when you are painting? If so, what artists? The last two tours have bypassed ST Louis Missouri, will you be here on the next tour?
    Thanks for your time.
    Peace, BC Rich Guitars & KISS!
    Sincerely,
    John

    Greetings Paul

    You have talked openly about your health and happiness in recent years.

    My question is two fold...

    How did you manage your will power to stay clear of all the drugs and booze that was so easily available to all 4 members in the 1970's? How did you manage to stay clear of cancer and other aliments that took the life of past members. Are you the Iron Man or something?

    Hey Paul,
    My question for you is, at the begining was there ever a point where you thought you weren't going to be able to make it, were you ever afraid of what you would do if it didn't work? was it hard to have a positive outlook at the begining? I'm an artist just out of school and i'm in this position now, what happens if I can't make it? i just was wondering if you guys ever felt this way too. Thank you so much, luv you!

    Paul,

    Greetings from Greece. Last year Ronnie James Dio passed away. A few days ago Gary Moore was found dead on his sleep. My question is this: This decade (2010-2019) will mark the end of almost all the great bands of the 60s, 70s and (in some cases) 80s. How do you view the future of Rock Music and why we are not treated anymore with First Class Rock Acts like KISS, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, AC/DC, Led Zeppelin just to name a few...? Does it have to do with the overall bad state of the music business?
    Thank you.

    Thank you Paul for being the best you can be, that is, you are so successful and continually entertaining on stage as possibly the best frontman within the Industry of Rock Music. Your constant maneurisms, you talk to the people, you make the audience feel wanted and needed, constantly never a dull moment, always giving the eyes something to look at, and with your radiant personality... how do you do it? I mean, from the birth of Kiss, how did you evolve and maintain your frontman-skills to an art that has yet to be copied on stage? Many rock groups' frontman just still don't get it! How is it that you can express your uniqueness that is still in longevity, yet other bands' frontmen are dull and boring to look at. Kiss has lasted the lengh of time for what I believe is your authentic and genuine ability to stir the crowd, not as in some pep rally only, but in ways that has yet to be defined for upcoming bands to learn from. My question is, Would you speak to all the talented and upcoming new bands out there listening to your words right now about what it is really like to be a REAL frontman and how can they improve their persona and band-to-audience communication to give a show that'll knock their socks off? From a Legend to Beginners on stage, what words of encouragement can you give to help frontmen everywhere to improve a show's performance by recommending changes in not only how, but what they should do to be the best they can be on stage as a frontman?

    Hi Paul

    1-How do you get that typical seventies sound of KISS? Don´t think it would be better to use the old Ibanez Iceman guitar instead of the Washburn for recording in the studio?

    2-Have you thought about doing a tour as KISS Konventions in 1995. In small theaters around the world for a very small audience 500-1000 people. Something truly unique to 500 USD per ticket. I would pay gladly. Please talk with Doc, and do not forget visit Barcelona.

    3 – Why don´t play the "We won´t get fooled again" before start the shows? It was a very exciting moment !

    4 – What you really think of The Elder album? And do not say it was a dark period, which did not sell as expected ... Most fans love this album.

    I´ll hope see you soon
    Congratulations for KISS, your family and for making me happy every day of my life.

    Paul:

    First just wanted to say that I enjoyed meeting you many years ago at a Private Party that was held at "Hammerjacks" in Baltimore, MD. Is there a chance that KISS will be coming to Baltimore, MD on your upcoming states tour? Every time you come to our area you end up in Washington, DC. I can only hope that you would come to the city of Baltimore and play at the Arena.

    Is there a chance that KISS will ever do a concept album? ie, Queensryche "Operation Mindcrime". Unless you consider "The Elder" as KISS's concept album, would you ever perform that album in its entirety in concert? If "The Elder" isn't KISS's concept album, would the band consider producing such an album and what would be the theme?

    Last, out of all the albums that KISS has ever produced what would you say was the hardest album musically and lyrically to write and record?

    It was an honor meeting you in Baltimore, Paul. I have been a KISS fan since I was a child and I have followed you since the early 70's. I wish only the best for KISS in the coming years and thank you for the years past of entertainment that you have given to your dedicated fans. The KISS ARMY truly supports all of your efforts and hope that there are many more years to come from this talented group of musicians. I thank you and hope to see you in Baltimore, MD soon.

    Sincerely,

    Hi Paul,
    I've been a fan for a while now and even wrote my first college research paper on KISS. When KISS began, you weren't the Starchild, but the Bandit. If the personas we see onstage are extensions of your personalities, how was the Bandit an extension of yours and what prompted the switch to the Starchild?

    Paul, I have been a fan since 1975 which was the year I graduated from high school and have been to more concerts than I can count, but I always wondered if there was anything special you did or still do to get yourself emotionally ready to perform? It is very obvious that what you do on stage is totally different from your private life, there is Paul Stanley the star Child, entertainer and artist then there is Paul Stanley the husband, father, friend and man. saying thank you isn't enough to say, you sir are the true meaning of a real man stay true to who you are from within and as always my family sends all our love to you and your beautiful family......:-)

    My question is about setlists. I think there are some fans who would like to hear some old songs like those on "Dressed to kill", "Destroyer", Rock and roll over" and "Love Gun" that you never played live or little. "tomorrow and Tonight" would be great to hear. In fact, you performed tracks that you've been playing OVER and OVER for the last 30+ years. You can't take off songs like Rock and Roll all night, Deuce, Love gun or Detroit Rock city, but replace all the others.

    Paul,

    There is a lot of talk about your voice these days among die hard KISS fans. It doesn't come from a point of view of attacking you, or belittling your abilities. We know, unlike most others in the press and pop culture, that you are the best rock vocalist ever. However, there is definitely a decline in range, power, control, and a difference in tone over these last few years.
    You've never spoken publicly about it, because we all know how private of a person you are and we wish to respect that. We do however, wish you would address it and let us fans know how you are treating it? Did you develop nodes? Some of the symptoms that are presenting certainly point in that direction. The bottom line is that we care, and want you to feel good. I can say personally that the number 1 reason I've enjoyed KISS live for so many years was because I was always floored by your vocally. You got better and better every year. It also comes down to putting out a "product" (your live show) that's up to a certain standard that you set. It's less appealing putting down money on a show, if the main singer isn't taking the proper time to get himself back in fighting shape. 😉 I may be in the minority, but I was hoping KISS was going to take a year off, mostly so you could address your vocal issue.

    Please let us in a little Paul and tell us what's going on! We love you and only want to see you live up to your own expectations. I know after following you for years, that you personally must be bothered by this tremendously.

    P.S
    Saw you in Phantom in Toronto – TWICE. You were amazing.

    If Paul read the question that won't be selected, hope he read this one: Hope to see you in Montreal and Quebec city for the next album's tour. Be sure to annonce your tour dates for both cities at the same time, so people from Quebec city will see you in their city instead of going to Montreal first and not wanting to pay again if the date for Quebec city is annonce later, resulting in a poor assisance in Quebec city. I explain my point: Not everybody's like me and wants to pay twice to see you in both cities. If you annonce the show at the same time for both cities, more people will be at your show in Quebec city. The ones who wants to see you just one time in Quebec city and the others like me who will pay twice and go to both shows. Thanks!

    Paul: I have been a fan since 1975 which is the year I graduated from high school and have been to more concerts than I can count, but I've always wondered if there was anything special you did and still do to get emotionally ready to perform, because it is very obvious that what you do on stage is totally different from your personal life. There is Paul Stanley the star child,entertainer and artist then there is Paul Stanley the husband, father, friend, and man. Saying thank you isn't enough to say. You sir are the true meaning of real man, stay true to who you are from within and as always my family and I send all our love to you and your beautiful family.....Dolores Weber.....Martinsburg,Pa.

    Hi Paul,

    Like a lot of your fans, I've been with you since the 70s. KISS sounds better than ever with Tommy and Eric along side you and Gene. I'm looking forward to the follow up to the great, "Sonic Boom" album.

    My question:

    With the success of Green Day's "American Idiot" on Broadway, is there a chance we might see a musical based on the music and/or story of KISS? What better way to celebrate the legacy of New York's greatest band?

    Thanks for taking the time to answer some fan questions on CNN.

    Keep on rockin',
    Jason

    P.S. It would be great to hear "All Hell's Breakin' Loose", "All For The Glory" and "When Lightning Strikes" on the next tour. 🙂 \m/

    Hi, Paul
    My question is : What do you say to the fans that think it is not right for KISS to go on stage with Tommy and Eric in the other 2 original guys makeup? Personally I have been a fan since 75 and to me I love it because I want sober and responsible members making great KISS music. It also keeps the integrity of what was. Also, Peter and Ace had there shot when you leave your job or get fired you usually never get a second chance, they both did. Thank you for keeping a positive outlook on life.

    If not, would you consider guest spots for former KISS members on a final KISS album in the future (for Bruce Kulick, Ace Frehley, and maybe even Peter Criss)? It could be a great way to wrap it all up. Whenever that album comes...

Now he is asking when will you be back. I have always encouraged music as it has helped with his speech and now he wants to play guitar just like KISS. For that I thank you and the music industry.
    Have you done any advocacy work on keeping music in the schools and have you worked with any special needs children?
    Will KISS tour again and will they come to Raleigh, NC again?

    Over the years KISS created tons of songs yet one of the most classic tunes the band ever did was called 'Rip And Destory' back in 1978 and still has yet to be officallly released yet all KISS fans know the lyrics. Are we ever going to see this song on a cd cause it is one of the best songs that you ever did.

    I've been a fan of yours, as well as KISS for years now. I'm 16 and your music has changed my opinion on rock n' roll. So my question is, do you think you will ever re-visit more songs from the Revenge era? I know you preformed God Gave Rock N' Roll To You II on your latest U.S. tour, but couldn't help but wonder. Although nothing beats classic KISS tunes, Revenge will always be one of my favorites, as well as a favorite for thousands of KISS fans. I can't wait for the new album, Sonic Boom was one of the best, if not the best album of 2009! Rock on!

The last time you guys were here was the "Farewell Tour", I was there and I was 4th row seating. Best concert I had ever been to in my life. I recently went to Pittsburgh in July to see you guys and the show was even better than before. I love KISS, so lets rock n roll all night and party for the rest of our lives!

    Hello Paul!

    I was just wondering when you were gonna come back and tour Australia?

    You and you're music have stood the test of time and I am very grateful you guys are still touring the world!
    I am 15 years old and I can defiantly say that the younger KISS army is getting bigger and bigger.

    Can't wait for you're next Australian tour and new KISS album.

    You're biggest fan,

    Hi Paul,

    are there any plans for your next solo-album? Perhaps with your son Evan, who is a guitar player, too?
    Will there be a ballad on the next KISS album?

    Hope to see you soon on tour in Germany!

    Thank you!

    Hey paul,

    I would just like to thank you for the inspirational music KISS has produced over the years, my brother and i went to see KISS in Glasgow on the sonic boom tour, it was amazing, many of my friends at school try to diss KISS yet they havent even listened to your music.What do you think about that and how are things with ace and peter?

    Thanks from Scotland 😀

You guys were the most gracious and friendly bunch of legends a fan could ever meet! What will you do to make the M & G even bigger on the next tour?

    The Wounded Warriors Project is very front and centre with KISS these days; what about your other Charity project AboutFace; are you still active as the celebrity spokeperson?

    What effort is KISS going to put forth in trying to garner a Grammy nomination (and win) for the new album? That type of recognition is long overdue.

    The "Hotel" tour (KISS Konvention 95-96) was an absolute pleasure to attend. Would there be any posibility of another KISS organized convention tour?

    Paul, Thank You and All for coming to Hampton VA for your Alive 35 show as well as to the Virginia Beach Ampitheater. I was at both very very close to stage. I want you to know that you guys Defined my and my uncle's (only 1 year older) childhood. When you influence so many people like that you do shape their lives: We both are successful people with plenty of love for life. We rock hard, we laugh hard, we love hard. Thank You Sincerely from our Heart! No doubt our lives are a gift. My questions:

    1- Are you lining up for another tour? P.S. You owe me one because I yelled my throat out when you said: "So, Can I come back and see you again?"

    That's the ONLY Question I care about my friends. Judging by the huge crowds around me at the shows, I don't think you'll have any problems packing the houses any time soon.

    Thank You my friends,

    Reading the above comments is sooo cool! So many youngsters carrying on the Kiss meaning of rock and freedom. You guys should
    be crazy proud! I'm an old school fan born '68. You made it my mom bought it for me. Cool Mom.

    My Question:

    It's a Biggie:

    You guys created a Mega-Band that still has tons of followers today.
    Probably they are still increasing. Of course, time wears everyone down so how will you guys handle the legacy of Kiss when you cannot perform anymore? With sooo many children who are fans and no doubt there children when they are fans, what's to be? You guys started something totally out of the norm and it hasn't stopped yet. When you guys can't perform or are gone, is Kiss and the Kiss movement gone forever?

    I surely hope and pray not.

    Hi Paul,
    I"ve been a huge fan for a long time now and I would like to say something about the negative reactions from jealous people who have a problem with all the kiss-merchandise.
    This is because they don"t have it!
    Everybody knows that you guys makes millions with it but I think that"s all fair because KISS is not just a band like other bands.
    Kiss is an institution and a lifestyle with great music and the biggest shows ever!
    Is KISS the richest band in the world?
    If you are, well if there is one band who deserves it, then it"s KISS.
    We,fans,give you the money but we get a lot from you in response.
    I hope you will go on forever.
    I will be a fan as long as I live.

    Like you Paul, in the 70's I was picked on alot. I would come home from school crying and dreading the next school day.
    You and KISS gave me something I could hang onto , something that would make me happy.
    Paul, all I want to say is thank you. Your music, your personna , I got it.
    I understood it, I got the buisness aspect and I got the whole RNR aspect.
    Now pushing 50, wow , I have a family and we had a family outting to Scranton PA to see KISS. Worth every penny.
    To see the looks in the kids eyes was priceless, they got it. I saw me in 1977 Syracuse PA through them.
    Thank you
    Now you are still here and every negative day that may happen , KISS will be played and life bearable
    I instill into me kids the reasom to not bully and the reason that even though someone may be different, there is always something in that person that is to be listened to, respected, and cherished as a fellow human.
    Paul thank you from the bottom of my heart, you got me through it and believe me , taught me growing up.
    Thank you Paul
    I still have problems forgiving the bulling and such because inturn caused me to do the wrong things growing up. I will get there.

    Hi Paul,

    I'm inspired by your artwork! I've never painted before and want to pick up a brush and start my paint supply collection to explore my creative side for the next phase of my life now that I'm turning 50 this year.

    Please offer some advice for the new painter. What type of paints do you paint primarily with and what inspires you? Your style and vision that you share in your paintings is the closest I've seen to what I feel like I have in me that I want to express.

    Took my family to the Sonic Boom show in Sacramento, all of our first KISS show! It was beyond exciting and entertaining to finally see you gents live after enjoying your music since 1975!!

You've been the best frontman in the industry for over 35 years. My question is this: Do you guys feel a special connection with the S.F. Bay Area? It feels like you do. Thanks.

    There is a very obscure album, a tri-album called "KISS The Originals" made up of the first three albums. I haven't laid eyes on it since 1976. What can you tell me about that album and how do I find it? Not very many peple including hard core kiss fans are aware of this album...I am one of the few.
