BLACKIE LAWLESS was up for the sammy curr part. I never heard about Paul being offered the part. Also gene didn't spit fire on The hot in the shade tour.
Gene was along for the ride, I admit Gene does sell it as this guy tells it, but you're right Paul did the lion share of everything to do with Kiss. Gene is or never was a marketing genius. The company that invented the stuff brought it in and Gene said yes to everything. Paul tempered things, or all the bands credit would be gone.( Not that there's much.). Gene sold a story and people apparently bought it. Gene according to his family is a pig. He rode a ride to the top. Thanks Paul.
