Home & Family - KISS Frontman Paul Stanley on his Rock & Roll Stardom 

“When you play the victim, the only person who’s compromised is you” Wow! I needed to here that

I can listen to him all day. I am so amazed to Paul Stanley, all of his words are pure of knowledge and wisdom. I love the way he speaks about life and every word that comes out in his mouth means everything.

Since I was a kid I always admired his thoughtful, intelligent answers in interviews.

Paul has always been a class act,loves playing music,doesn't give a shit about stuff around the band,a real performer,a true rocker.

Paul has been cool since day one.

He's battled through so much and he made it. A true survivor.

paul stanley is so cool. I remember buying his solo album back in the 70s.I was around 10 years old.I just thought he was hot with his make up, and the star on his eye.I would dance to his music.lol... but anyway I just want to say paul didn't let his ear stop him from fulfilling his dream of becoming a rock star. good job....

Bless you Paul for talking about microtia and your youth. As an uncle of a young girl with Goldenhar Syndrome, your words were heartening.

I love Paul Stanley, I always knew he was hot under all that make up.

He's so well spoken

Paul Stanley is the kindest and probably the most loved rock singer ever!

What a great guy. I grew up thinking Kiss was a devil worship group. So I steered clear. Now I'm 55 watching these interviews and these men are intelligent music loving, and successful. I applaud them for ignoring people like me with silly narrow minds. Entertainment indeed!

One of the greatest frontmen in rock history

His adaptability is great. What a wonderful quality. An incredible difference between than and now. It's tough to imagine these guys on a show like this back in their 70's heyday.

Paul is so down to earth

He speaks so well

I don't know why I find this guy inspirational. Maybe it's the plain talking. But I really like listening to him.

After listening to many bag on Paul i decided to watch a few interviews with him and must say i'm impressed. Seems like a thoughtful down to earth guy.

I’m so glad he’s talking about having a birth defect. My daughter adores him. She’s 50 and has hydrocephalus. Her life has been lonely. When she watched this video she loved him even more now that she knows they have something in common. Thank you Paul.

very intelligent man. .love you paul!

Paul Stanley: the only reason KISS still exists. Look at their albums without make up. Paul had the songs, the drive, the passion. If he never pushed or cared they would have died in the 80's/90's.

Thank you Paul, for never giving up on your dream.

Paul Stanley is very inspiring he makes you wants to get up and do things ,that you been putting off

This man is the quintessential "Rock Star".

Who couldnt love this guy - hes very smart, I love you paul since 1979

Paul Stanley is a very wise and well spoken gentleman. What a journey he overcame and became s legendary musician with the famous band KISS. What a lovely family. Thanks for the video. It's nice to see another side ither than a rock musician.🥰☺ 8/6/21

what a down to earth guy compared to many celebrties nowadays

A great book. Recommended. I know a couple of people who met him in the early 80's and they said he was a complete a-hole - one even called him that to his face. Read the book and I understand why he was that way. He dug deep and really worked on himself. Of all the books by each member, his is head and shoulders above the rest.

Paul Stanley's solo 1978 is awesome

THANK-YOU PAUL FOR 40 PLUS YEARS OF KISS ROCK N ROLL.. GOD BLESS!

a true legend

He is very inspiring. Makes a guy want to tackle anything and everything that is perhaps keeping a man down. Make your own destiny. Sounds pretty easy. My 3 points to success: Mind set is first. Effort is second. Perseverance is third and last. I'll give it a try in 2016 :)

No other like you, Paul. I relish Kiss from '73 to '76. And your at the top with the greatest front men in the history of rock. Thanks for helping me through school.

40 years is amazing , what an evolved person. thanks for inspiring so many people

Paul is hands down my favorite rhythm guitarist of all time. He is also one of the greatest front men and singers.

Love these guys. Though the original members may have their differences and even bash one another, I love what is/was KISS. I also enjoy the positive, kind comments here for Paul. So many vids have bitter folks saying terrible things about the members, but these comments are refreshing. These men started with nothing and built a musical empire from hard work, fun, energy, and great R'n'R music.

He looks GREAT! Rock legend extraordinaire!

"That's a big finish...so to speak." Brief awkward silence from co-anchor. Love it. The Starchild is still my favorite!

Love this guy. Just awesome.

Very articulate and well spoken person. I do admire him. He has a lot of good advice. I was born with Turners Syndrome, and I relate to so much that Paul has shared. I stood out, I had trouble being around people. What has shocked me the most is that he was still able to perform in spite of his ear deformity. Keep rocking Paul.

Paul is always pleasant to watch on an interviews..he'd always say something words of wisdom..not your typical rockstar..theres always more to him than meets the eye..very talented and wise!

paul is my hero! always will be

This is so good. So right about folks who pretend things don't exist and don't deal with stuff.

Great interview. Very honest man. He's so intelligent. I never knew he was born with a severe disability. He truly has overcome many obstacles in his life, making him a true rock legend. He truly persued his dreams. What a great humble man. Love Paul.💞

He haaaaaaaaaaaates the rock n' roll hall of fame. I'm not saying he's wrong, but he does not hide that fact what-so-ever. Anyways, love him! LOVE KISS!

He is so amazing , i love him

I remember in 74 taking my open and close stereo. Around 7-8 years old taking the speakers off and holding them close to my ears and turning up as loud as possible and playing Kiss. Back in the day they never performed without their makeup. Love this guy. Paul Stanley is awesome. Still in the Kiss army. I remember staying up late to see their tv show.

Yeah Paul!

Those boots! I've tripped over my own feet in bedroom slippers...more than once...

Advise I needed to hear at this moment..his intelligence amazes me..thanks paul

First band I've ever seen in concert. 1979 Dynasty tour The Cow Palace , SF , Ca.

Such a highly intelligent human being and great musician ❤️

Paul has a beautiful family

I actually saw this on Hallmark last year. Very inspiring.

I am so Glad that Paul s life is so good and that he have such a Beauty ful Family i wish you all the best and wonderful day together

Love him just a great guy

An amazing front man......one of the best.....saw kiss when they started..yes they ruled the rock world....Fact....Amen

I've read all their biographies as of now, and it wasn't difficult to pick a "side"...it was/is clearly with Paul. Although I enjoyed Ace and Peter's books (Peter's especially), as entertaining as they were, I ended with having virtually no respect for either one of them (Kiss was my first official "favorite group" as a kid, so I've been a long-time fan). Gene was an easy second choice, but I prefer Paul's personality and attitude over Gene's if for no other reason than resonating much more with Paul's extremely likable disposition. Paul may be my all-time favorite interview subject. He has about the best skill set ever for answering questions. If you haven't seen his "Raw" interview somewhere on YT, check it out. He has mad verbal skills, and it's fun and fascinating to watch him perfect his answers in real time. Cheers.

He really is a likeable guy.

The best interviews i've ever seen, are those of Paul Stanley or Paul McCartney. Classy, funny and more than anything, down to earth.

Beautiful

A true class act. Exactly how a rock star should conduct themselves

My heroes,,kiss,God bless you

What a well dress , spoken man. Great advice Paul giving

Legend ! ❤️

A really nice honest guy

Class Act.

I can barely name a KISS song but I enjoyed reading his (and Peter Criss's) book.

I love this guy. Humble statements, great 👍

What an amazing person/father/LEADER!!!!

I Just Love Paul 😍😍😍😍😍

I want th8 book...!Awesome

A living Legend !!

Forty five years standing in front of those amps...with one ear....it's amazing he can hear at all

Great insiste and outside persona God Bless You always

Beautiful family 💓

Every interview I see of him is so based and wise.

Of all the kiss solo albums Paul and aces rocked the hardest

Paul is very interesting. I have most certainly learned a lot from Gene and Paul.
