Paul Stanley: Peter Was A Nightmare Recording Rock & Roll Over! 

Amen

Yup

Agreed

Paul ....Kiss my ass!!

Genius!

🤘😂🤘

Lol

lmaooo

Well Paul is focused... some people cannot deal with that.

Focused, on being a narcissistic sociopath asshole, who bashes a living legend drummer and guitarist!!! Pathetic, team Peter and Ace always

My 2nd favorite KISS song

Yes, it was. Absolutely replayed it over and over again.

Exactly. No one ever credits Paul or Gene as their inspiration as musicians. Gene's bass playing doesn't go beyond root-towing four or five notes, and Paul's playing is Nirvana-levels of basic rhythm.

Absolutely!! You get tired of Gene and Paul's shtick. Watching the Live footage of Kiss from the 70's, it was Ace that always fascinated me.

Paul made women want to wear lycra leotards with head and wrist bands and do work out videos to really horrible 80s commercial music He was their role model 🤣 Paul always had a fem side

@@warthogA10 Hilarious!!! 🤣🤣🤣

Ace totally inspired and fascinated me. Him and that Les Paul made me want to play music.

🤠... and why does the guy feel the need to piss and moan, when he lived his dream? Or so he says.

For real, shits over anyway…or are there more books or releases coming? lol jeez

Paul Stanley is nothing but a ego maniac. Anyone that takes the limelight off him

@@user-ro9oo5ee9tBRO!! What Rockstar is NOT? 😂😂😂

Yeah. It’s slim.

I agree, it is in my top 30.

Baby Driver is a monster song so stick it up yer' Arse Paul

My top

One of my favorites from them for sure.

Nothin to Lose live is great too.

Black Diamond is my favorite!!!

Paul was the best singer in KISS, but best voice? 100% Peter, all day.

LOLZ

yup....

Exactly, must be nice to be perfect. Another 10 minutes and he would've talked shite about Gene.

He was the only thing that held it all together. Hello?? Kiss would’ve been finished decades ago otherwise

Ace is the only member of Kiss I actually like, but he wasn’t the type to hold a band together. If anything, he should have left the band a couple albums earlier

You obliviously did not read the book he ripped on himself far more

I know but it is true about Peter..even bob. erzin said so

As much as I love their music, entertainers are the biggest prima donnas of all time.

Have you heard of Dave Mustaine?

@@ObsidianLife Dave is in the running, but Paul & Gene wrote BOOKS complaining about Ace & Peter..

@@yourdrummer2034 ...True, but it doesn't exactly seem like Ace and Peter were angels...

Amen.

😂😂😅 GD' ONE!! 😅😊😊

Ain't no Jimi Hendrix neither.

he's better than Robert Plant

@@swine74 At applying pancake, yes...

He's much closer to Robert plant than criss is to bonham.

Is that you, Peter Criss?

Just facts!!! Peter had the best voice in the band and very unique voice and powerful and soulful!!!! Catman

Common knowledge. 👍

You didn't need to meet Eddie Kramer to know that.

@@hi-ccowboy7983 I know, Einstein. From the horse's mouth to me is all.

Yes, absolutely 💯 true!

Even though he didn't play or write a lot of them

Yes, Ace was so inept that his is the only solo album anyone listened to 3 months after it was purchased.

I listened to all of them. And I did not find any of them being particularly amazing. It was not like the Beatles who all produced amazing albums both together and solo. It was obvious that KISS was better as a band. Like WAY better.@@repentnow1720

@@repentnow1720 And the best song on it was written by Russ Ballard of Argent

I"TOTALLY" AGREE "💯💯👍 YEAH!!

Facts.

Ace had “it”…..he was so spaced out that he was likable and as a soloist I’ve always thought that his solos were fluid, melodic, hummable, and his vibrato was perfect

Yes, he never takes his foot off their throats so to speak.

Peter (admittedly) can be moody or short-tempered, but he was never mean-spirited to anyone, and never went around slagging the rest of the planet.

I think the only people Gene inspired to take up the bass were the ones that said "hell, is that all there's to it?I can do that!"

No guitar player ever says he was inspired by a bass player to play guitar ! And Paul is it a soloist, he’s a frontman who plays rhythm guitar and jumps and prances around onstage…we call that a “front man”…..

Because they are not!

I don't disagree but Paul's solo album was solid. I agree that ragging on your partners isn't cool.

Gene's album was by far the best, his has the same musicians and producers who made Meatloafs Bat out of Hell album, it's head and shoulders more professional sounding than the other 3.

Todd Rundgren produced and played guitar on Bat Out of Hell. He also did background vocals and many other duties. Todd had nothing to do with Gene's solo album.

I’m pretty sure Paul couldn’t care less that Ace had the best solo album (according to some). That was 45 years ago. Can only imagine how devastated he is after ending their career in arenas while Ace plays clubs.

The other 2 solo albums sucked big time, Stanley had some real soppy stinkers on his and Frehley proved he could have been so much more if he had sobered himself up. Nice to see he finally went out with a pro quality backing band decades later

Have you heard the ones they threw away?

Yes, Aces solos and playing are excellent. All of the original members did a great job and cemented THE sound of KISS! They made it together.

If you hear the face melting solo on "Rocket Ride", you realise Ace was worth every paycheck.

AMEN brother, AMEN!

I am conservative too and I generally believe people get what they deserve, and what they earn. I am not a fan of the band, especially of the jew half. But I believe sometimes things work out the way they do for unknown reasons. I'm glad both Ace and Peter got their due. Money isn't everything.

Magic mountain California amusement park 1978 filming kiss meets the phantom of the park

Love gun tour if im correct

es MAK BLEEF !!

Paul got what he deserved....maybe too much.

​@@theshield2207Alive 2....may 19,1978 Valencia CA

100%. 73-78 is the core of the work.

Oh yes!

Actually, with the exception of Ace's solo album, you can leave out 1978.

@peterpaul Absolutely, as Ace’s masterpiece solo debut was indeed my only impetus for including 1978!..

I always said the same thing. 1st 3 albums were groundbreaking. Great Rock n roll, but after was about making money and putting songs on the radio

And it took them that long to work that out?

Not Jazz but Swing and Big Band; Peter was a swing and big band style drummer and it fit with the stuff KISS was doing at that time. As for Paul saying Peter didn't play a musical instrument, Drums are the Oldest Musical Instrument in History but they are Not a String or oral used instrument. PS Paul and Gene have Always whined about everybody in KISS except themselves.

Bill Ward was heavily influenced by jazz just like Peter Criss

John Bonham and Ian Paice were also massively influenced by jazz drummers like Max Roach. That’s why all those guys sounded so great. Peter Criss was great for Kiss, playing wise at least. And Paul Stanley was hardly a virtuoso…

Peter even took lessons with GeneKrupa!

Unmasked?

Fact!

@@ACDZ123 Unmasked is a classic.

I think that is what killed Gene and Paul. Peter and Ace were huge fan favorites and it ate them up with jealousy.

@@bobgomez9481 yer true 👍

A few years back I saw a guy that looked like ACE but knew it wasnt him but I told him he looked like ACE and he said "Im glad you dont think I look like Gene because he's an asshole"

Você que dizer que o Ace vive atacando o Paul Stanley né ou você não vê ou finge que é cego

It was a band and paul thinks he was the only one contributing.

Baby driver is pure garbage...

Baby Driver is a RIPPER!!! Gun it momma

YEP!

they didn’t play a single concert in 1978

They did ! Japan 1978 (again after 1977)

I've always said that! Flaming youth, department of youth. Both of them are the most Bob Ezrin sounding records ever.

I think that LZ are more overrated than Kiss. Jimmy Page is a average player and Plant with his cries and oeh oeh in every song. Very boring and dated. Plus Kiss exist 50 years, and LZ? Speak alone the number of albums Kiss has more made than LZ. But every one his of her taste.

No. Not even close.

​@@mickeyflick9664😂

And Bonham would have been in the audience bobbing his head along and smiling. Truly great drummers listen to and love a boatload more than they generally bring to their band styles.

@@mickeyflick9664😂

It doesn't benefit his bank account to put out new albums when nobody buys them. He makes money playing the old stuff. KISS was a nostalgia act for it's last 30+ years complete with Ace and Peter lookalikes.

​@@jonlate4581sad but true..

​@@jonlate4581So, ABBA get by being a nostalgia act. Hey, at least KISS still perform, ABBA haven't toured or recorded anything new for 40 years.

Colonic Boom and Monsturd were the last "studio" records 20 years ago. Meanwhile, Ace Frehley...still recording, still playing, still laughing.

And if they don't believe you - just ask Paul!

I wouldn't call being a musician actual "work".

For sure

Sorry KISS band has always Been Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons 6:36

@@annwilkiemeyer3433 and how were they doing before Ace & Peter joined?

They surely continued without Peter & Ace…. If Ace & Peter were the great musicians people claim they are , they would have been much more successful than Paul & Gene….. Ace & Peter could have been much better but let stardom go to their heads. They never grew as musicians. Paul definitely acknowledged Ace’s musicianship. But Ace ‘s head blew up. I love Ace but his guitar playing basically stagnated not long after he left KISS. He could have and should have become a much better musician.

@@michaelkeller971 Pfft they are a laughing stock for the crap "kiss" produced post Ace and Peter...heavens on fire and bad habit HAHAHAHA Joke of a band living off of songs 50 years ago.

Love Bob Ezrin. His work on "Destroyer", Alice Cooper "Billion Dollar Babies" and Pink Floyd "The Wall" is incredible and made their best albums.

Also Janes Addiction and Peter Gabriel@@H-mu4bo

Bob brought in Dick Wagner and together they pretty much wrote 90% of Destroyer. Bob took a full credit on DRC and a partial on Beth while Dick took a full on flaming youth and agreed on a studio salary for the rest of the albums guitar work. Never a mention by Paul..lol

Bob really doesn’t get recognized for the amazing writing, playing & top notch production that he sort of “ghosted” into these projects.

Yeah, I mean Paul will always legend (especially 2 himself). But, it must’ve bugged him to no end that Peter singing a soft ballad vs his screeching for notes is what gave em a chart topping hit

Not weird, just more manufactured BS from Paul - more every year.

Lol world class is a massive overstatement

@@tt55899 Founded a world class band.

@@tt55899 I'm not a drummer but I'll have to agree with shoto here. Peter is a natural drummer, without him and Ace, the band definitely lost their sound and never recovered. Vinnie breathed some life into them but the sound had changed, it was lost.

@@shotojukukai that's different than calling him world class, neil peart was a world class drummer, peter isn't in the same universe

@@jasonvoorhees8545 nothing can compare to the original kiss but in terms of technical proficiency peter was the least of every member, both erics could drum circles around him

100% man! Of course the drugs and the problems and the tensions were real. But so is Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons' forever passive-aggressive bitterness and negativity toward Ace & Peter -- after the fact! I mean, it's not like either of them stopped P&G from becoming multi-millionaires. 'Nuff said...

It's called rock and roll, especially in the 70's. Paul and Gene are a couple of old ladies. Aerosmith are the kings of excess, and their best albums were done while loaded. Granted, it is unsustainable, but I'll take those albums over their "sober" albums.

​@@mickeyflick9664these bands have so much help from their labels it's hard to call it their music solely.

@@mickeyflick9664 Megadeth was at its best when Mustaines veins were pure heroin. Jimi Hendrix anyone. Now Its a horrible drug that kills many, but like Bill Hicks said "if you are against drugs, go home and burn every album you have. Because every one of them had musicians that were really HIGH"

Paul is the one you really gotta watch out for, Gene's bark is way worse than his bite. Paul is cattier than all nine of Peter's lives combined.

Especially on the song Nothing to Lose

LoL.

LOL

How often do you check? Weekly? Bi-weekly? Etc

Destroyer’s production lacked the live feel and raw sound

Even Jason Bonham is no John Bonham and he had the direct DNA and teacher.

@@thorinbane you're right. I saw him in a band called Virginia Woolf when they opened for The Firm. His drum solo didn't come close to Chris Slade's.

My gosh people, that song was trash. There's a reason it was the last song on the record...

@@GoogleUser-es5td i own every kiss album and baby driver is one of my favorites

Dark Light was off of The Elder album ,if I remember correctly. A great song indeed.
