Paul Stanley talks longevity, working with Gene Simmons and retirement. 

I've always liked Paul Stanley in interviews, also in recent years as he is getting older. In long sit-down interviews, he comes through very honest and eloquent. This is not the usual rockstar and tour hype. He has moved far beyond that.

Paul Stanley will always be an upfront honest bloke as you can tell just by reading his biographies and in saying that he is a rock god Im 53 now been listening to kiss most of my life and that wont change whether they exist or not but l personally cant imagine a group called kiss without Paul or gene

Paul really speak like a gentleman... he is awesome

What a nice and humble guy, great person and artist.

Paul Stanley should consider being a therapist if he ever hangs up the guitar.

He is one of the best vocals in Rock history.

His Phantom of the opera performance was jaw droppingly perfect he took it to a new level. He is one of rocks few really well rounded musicians whiling to take necessary risks to be the best he can be by expanding his musicality where others fear to go, in other words, dont talk it walk it. KISS was the frontier of Rock, I actually see in my mind New York city when I hear kiss songs, thats when you know their music will live forever.

Extremely awesome , KISS will always be my # 1 band of all time . Paul is sensational , GOD BLESS you

Paul was amazing during the unmasked era, great songwriting and singing against a very changing music enviroment. It's sort of sad that there is not that much focus on that era today. Because without that middle act we would not have made it to the final act we see today.

Paul Stanley is fucking awesome. End of story..

Always comes across as a gentleman.

Paul Stanley... A good man...who has overcome adversity, misunderstanding and even physical limitations...his passion, tenacity and dedication keeps him on top...and rightfully so!

Well spoken human being. Thank you Paul Stanley.

Paul Stanley's voice is the Kiss sound. Without him, it would be a tribute band!

He was always my favorite - he is so facinating .... plus he has great hair ! :)

Nice interview. I love the black studded jacket. 40 years of Kiss Energy and Kiss-Army-Supporters.

I've never been huge fans of their music, but jesus man, you have to respect what they've been able to do with their careers. Sold out concerts, multi-platinum albums galore, and the staying power where their music has survived every single musical fad. Gene and Paul are truly remarkable people, even outside of music. They have always have all my respect for them and KISS, just amazing guys and an amazing band.

Great interview! Paul always seems to be a class act!

Paul Stanley is so gracious, so eloquent. And why I keep coming back to KISS, and interviews like this, is because they basically champion self-worth and self-validity. Think whatever you want about them, but they are so positive, over and over. And I don't mean egotistical, speaking of Paul here, I mean, he's saying: DO WHAT YOU LOVE. He even quoted Mark Twain about that. He knows what he's talking about, he lives it.

Any Paul Stanley interview is always gold , always informative. , witty. , funny and chill 💯🔥🔥👌😎

Paul Stanley is WONDERFUL at singing! God BLESS HIM! 👍🇺🇸😀🗽🗣🎙🎤🎸🎵

I could listen to Paul talk all day long. The life experiences he's had are so many and I learn from him. I have such respect for this man he's like a father figure to me.

Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons, both have very good views on life.

I consider Paul Stanley a friendly and talentous guy. It is admirable the way he talks in any interview in any countty. Well done these years. Amazing.

The reason for the longevity of KiSS is Paul Stanley's persistence!

Paul's so smooth n articulate

Humility!! Thank You, Mr. Stanley and The Rock Band Kiss!! Class Act All The Way!👍🎸🇺🇸

Love Paul - always have, a big influence indeed - thanks for this great interview

paul has always been my favorite!!

Paul, you are an influence to many, many people. More than you can imagine!

Classy and professional as always paul. Long life star child!!

Oh. My. God! This is beautiful!!!!! How many stars do you know that would feel this way? About all of it? This is beautiful.

As stated before, great interview! Very personal and different from many other clips on the tube. Well done!

Stanley is a true gentleMan

It's funny to hear his real voice! Paul had the best range of the four of 'em, and he didn't always sound like the same person from song to song

"I woke up this morning and I was still Paul Stanley" lmao

A very down to earth guy, with a good healthy sense of humour!

So refreshing to hear a reporter ask new and excellent thoughtful questions….

Paul is so well spoken. I’ve always liked him. God bless you Paul!

Say what you will, Paul and Gene have an incredible work ethic and paid their dues over all these years. As much as I love the original lineup, I don't blame them for kicking out Peter and Ace in favor of guys who were more reliable. It gets very tiring to work with people who are lazy, addicted to drugs or booze, non punctual, etc.

Always a pleasure to hear him speak. Great roll model for young men growing up.. always respectable in everything he does.❤

So humble. Like Geddy Lee. Speaks so accurately and gives his best to answer every question as he knows people watching this DO really care about Paul Stanley. Like Geddy Lee, he's so humble but a total madman at his craft - the real deal. A hardworking, passionate musician and vocalist. I'm totally inspired. I admit I didn't take Kiss too seriously as a teen but I did like their music. I found myself liking their music in the seventies, the eighties, the nineties, etc. and they're still here. Nobody ever heard a Kiss song come on the radio and said: "Change the station". We always said: "Crank it!" I realized early on there are some serious musicians behind that makeup. The makeup wasn't the show. The makeup added to an already great show and made it larger than life. Rock on Paul ! Rock on Kiss !

Great interview... He's an intelligent man, musician and an incredible song writer... I bought "rock n roll over" back in the fall of 76, I went to the store to buy "destroyer" but it was sold out... Unbeknownst to me "rock 'n' roll over" had just been released... That's still my favorite album and since that day, Paul to me, has always been Kiss...

I have a new outlook on Paul.Very much a together guy and thinks before he speaks.Awsome career and has done only a few can.Very fortunate guy..has lived his life on his terms only and that's inspiring..

Great interview!!! Paul really comes across as a class act.

this is the first time i have heard paul address the gay rumors in a rather lengthy fashion.

Great interview. really enjoyed it.

I impressed, not a kiss fan, but impressed with Me. Stanley

Seems like a cool guy

That was fab. Kiss was why I started playing and singing. Paul was my biggest inspiration!

Thank you very much for great interview, but no one can be replaced by Paul Stanley having great talent, who has been loved by Rock God.

I just saw them in the Barkley Center in Brooklyn. They were the best rock show I’ve ever seen!! They are better than ever!

One of the greatest singers that rock has ever produced. Always honest and sincere. Continued luck to Paul!

Paul is my favorite member in the band so if he ain't in the band there is no Kiss...

I saw them on the tour he was on in this interview, They were perfect and the lighting was Pink Flody esc.

I love such interviews. Espacially when there is one of my childhood heroes.

Kiss! THE BEST ROCK BAND EVER!!!!! I love you Paul Stanley!!!!!❤️💋

What a wonderful man with his family!! :) Just like my parents, classic people!

Paul just seems so much more humble as he's aged. Great to see.

Wow. I was never a fan of KISS (music not my style) but watching these interviews gives me a huge amount of respect for them.

The front man/ master of ceremony, Mr. Paul Stanley! He's up at the top, really he defined the art more than most!

Got to love this guy, no matter how famous or how Rich he is he has never forgotten his humble beginning,and always saying with a plan you can do this too!Thx Paul:):)

It was the guitar sound made me get electric in 77. Then all n all its you guys always workin that keeps me a fan, professionals that need no proof.

Paul Stanley has the great guitar riffs and thrilling high pitched singing with a true rock style spinto tenor voice. A great way to Rock and Roll All Night and Party Everyday. He is a great music liker.

Grew up with Kiss and other greatest bands ever, and these guys are testament to Rock and best rock concert to go to. I sat 1st row in front of Ace Frehley, amazing!

Paul you are real that's what I always loved about you you kept the band going

very nice interview. humble guy considering all his success.

now that's a great interview.

man Paul's a hero of mine man ...all the guys in kiss ....god id love to just kick back and hang out with those guys ....their music wuz such a big part of my life ....you wanted the best you got the best ..KISS!!!!!!!!!!! lol....man i love that band ......

Success (Paul Stanley ) Very Good Interview ! ,Great Interview !!!!!!

Paul is a champ !

Great interview. Kudos to the interviewer and his insightful questions. He doesn't feel the need to make his fame on the shoulders of a giant. He ferreted out outstanding answers by Paul. And Paul? A successful wise man. This interview was about life!

Great interview.

I saw them in Indiana March 25 1975 ....and was just amazed.They just released Hotter Than Hell.....and the rest is history

Great interview!!👍

He looks great and happy to see him enjoying success!

Paul is up there with Mick and Freddie in my Holy Trinity of Rock frontmen

KISS without Paul ? Are you kidding ? If yes I'm gone too

I love his interviews... He's gotten better with age.

Grew up with KISS in the 70s... still listen to them now, most every morning, amazed at their great songs... Black Diamond, Parasite, Rock Bottom, so many great songs with fun guitar, fun drums, great vocals. KISS is the best!

Very cool interview!! I have always loved Paul's song writing, rhythm guitar, and most of all lead vocal performances in KISS( I am a massive Gene fanatic too!!), and I have been so thankful that they have continued to kick ass this long..I have been lucky enough to have seen KISS live many times with and without the original line up and various incarnations, and have been a huge fan since 1980!! I also got to meet Gene , Paul, Eric, and Bruce years ago and it was amazing..KISS has been a religion to me along with Black Sabbath as well!!

Paul Stanley is wonderful for his kids . Any of us can artist , music carrier, etc.. but special kind Dad to make this top passionate. From Ludington Michigan USA 🇺🇸

great interview ,well done

What a nice interview.

probably the bass of kiss right here! the most intelligent,well spoken,kindest,if not the the most talented,musically, of kiss,paul is most definetly the core of the band...bless you paul for giving us this gift!!!

He's my fave too, he's so cool,.I love the way he jumped around,...Wonder if he still can,.I hope he's happy..

Love this guy.. Total class act

If you believe that you can make it big if you try your very hardest, doing what you love, then you're not BLINDLY believing in yourself.

I think Paul actually understands that neither he or Gene could be replaced in KISS. He is just too humble to admit he knows it.

I’ve always enjoyed Paul’s interviews. I feel like I can gain something from each of them, especially since 2014 after Face The Music came out. Paul’s one of the good guys.

Great interview!

I absolutely love Paul's leather jacket !!!

Great interview I like some of the ?s spot on !!

Some people love Paul some people hate him but no matter what he's been a successful story he's the living example that in this nation if you believe in what you do and never give up you can accomplish something - I was a young boy when kiss debuted and I always have love them - God bless and protect Paul Stanley and his beautiful family.

Well educated and wise man! Class act!

I Have Been To KISS Concerts Several times and Have seen other Performers Too But Can Honestly Absolutely No One Holds A Candle To A KISS Show when it comes to Rockin The House their Absolutely incredible

paul stanley is as grounded a rock star as there has ever been.. tons of respect for this guy...

Great interview

AWSOME INTERVIEW!!!!!!!

Big love to you Paul \m/
