It's like the Eagles or Fleetwood Mac. As long as the tours keep paying big bucks, they'll tolerate each other. No need to make new music. Just keep playing the hits.
Lol I love KISS but I would never use integrity as a main word to describe them. They may have it now but they sure compromised it every chance they had throughout most of their career.
I now know why Gene and Paul are still together..... Each one is trying to pass the last judgment against the other. Who ever dies last will win. These are also the secrets of every successful marriage
Dude your so wrong, these two have managed to keep KISS together"SUCCESSFULLY" for over 40 years, you can only name maybe 10 bands that have stayed together, putting out albums and manage to keep their FANS year after year after year. Even Aerosmith was not able to do this back to back to back. They disappeared and managed to make it back. Kiss has been there through out and out. Genes Love to continue to promote the band even though it included lunch boxes for 7 year olds shows his love and compassion to keep the KISS name alive. Paul's ability to keep it together behind the scenes writing songs, creating new ideas for their image has proved that they are one of the best well kept bands of this century. Believe me! This is coming from someone who has not been able to even see them live but I know dedication and true sincerity when I have see it. These guys TRULY love what they do.
Every band has there own personalities as individual’s but they brought us music that made us fans love them for their impact on music and to the world
Paul Stanley to me is just your typical guitar player that wants to make it no matter what it takes. He is driven. As far as making it big time, that's what it takes. I've noticed these comments are about his personality. It takes ego and insane drive to weather it, all the way to the record deals. I like this tell all. Thank you Paul.
Funny how he describes Gene's demeanor at 1st meeting - conforms to every Israeli male I've ever met . The Adam Sandler movie, 'Don't Mess With The Zohan' satires it brilliantly. No stereotype intended - honest...
@@andmoreagain5323 what? You didn't notice how right of centre Zohan was?? Sorry, I have no incantations that will open your eyes. Trump let a jewish boy marry his daughter... Trump obviously sees a hairdresser regularly even though he can't rock an 'Avalon' And gee if I was as egocentric as Simmons I'm sure I'd be a lot wealthier
Mr. Ostrander was a music teacher on a Indian Reservation for years. The school is unaware of his KISS ties. Would be nice to get music room named after him.
ive heard it it sounds like the who around th time of the album sell out the weirdness of the lyrics is a amature stab at being "psychedelic" in the context of the times its not that weird
Doesn't matter if they joined or not. Paul and Gene had determination so they would've found the perfect members anyway,.. But excellent timing to find those two because that was the era they were destined to accomplish the beginning of their dreams. If they missed it then we may have never heard or seen their great talent
Nonetheless, fascinating stuff. The genesis of great bands is always an incredible story to listen to. I've always believed in destiny ( you can never outrun it) and right-place-right-time.
As much as people like to bash KISS for their music and songwriting skills (or their lack) i know they're not stupid. They play stupid music because they know that's what sells!
And, so do you... And everyone else who listens to his "audiobook"... If you weren't fond of his voice, you would have read the book, instead... Or maybe you're just lazy... In other words: The opposite, of which, that Paul describes, here...
always wondered after he analled me when i was a virgin and said not to tell my parents because they'd either send him to jail or make him marry me but he'd rather go to jail because music was the most important thing in his life if him and gene were the 2 guys brian danter told me went into lrc music and told him to start going to this church so he could hook up with the pastors 12 year old daughter weird because he watched billy graham at my house sometimes too
You don't like being judged but you judge Hee Haw? Many more talented on that show, that never settled for being a pot smokin rhythm 2 stringer that follows other fellas into their bedroom!
* thought process of many Kiss haters : I can't stand those guys or their music ! I think I'll spend my time watching videos featuring this band I don't like 😐
Does anybody know how many face lifts Gene Simmons has had? I watched an episode where he & Shannon had their faces, done together! 🤢 I saw KISS in 1977 at the Phila, Spectrum! THAT'S WHEN "KISS" was "KISS"! I was 18 & "not very impressed" with a "bunch of old men, hiding behind "grease paint" & an "idiot" swallowing" kerosene to blow "flames" from his mouth! HOWEVER, THE MUSIC WAS AWESOME! I REALLY WISHED THEY DIDN'T COPY "ALICE COOPER" WHO'S BEEN USING "GREASE PAINT" IN HIS SHOWS , FOREVER!
Lloyd munga, go read a few album covers..... GENE and PAUL HAD OTHER WRITERS AS WELL. THEY(GENE AND PAUL) PUT THEIR APPROVALS ON IT. THEY WERE SEPARATE PERSONALITIES WRITING STYLE DIFFERENT BUT OT WAS ALL KISS MUSIC
When Gene came to the states he realized his Hebrew name didn't quite fit into US way of life so change it to Gene Klein then he change it Simmons because Klein wasn't a rock star name
william quinn my friend. I've read passages in the Talmud that would make your skin crawl. A truly evil book. Mainstream Jews don't even bother with that shit we call religion
Kiss was terrible about putting 3 good songs on the album and 7 filler songs. If you take the good songs from every album and make a compilation tape, you might have one album
He was pre programmed to hate being scrutinized and judged....really so I guess Paul is what we lay man call a hypocrite. The more this narcissist talks the more I cant stand him.
It's a very common thing to wanna test those you dont know. Fighters do it all the time. But these guys work ethic is epic. Today a millenial wouldn't practice.

Gene klein? Don't get any faker than hollywood. When I heard jay seabrings name was really tom kummer I didn't understand. Guess your name has to sound cool or your not cool.
I've watched several of these audio snippets by Paul. Great story teller.
I love these excerpts. Incredibly entertaining
Two huge egos. It's amazing they've gotten along so long.
Like a marriage.
It's like the Eagles or Fleetwood Mac. As long as the tours keep paying big bucks, they'll tolerate each other. No need to make new music. Just keep playing the hits.
Criticize all you want. These guys made it big.They were professionals that had integrity.
integrity??? Evidently you do not know what the word means
Lol I love KISS but I would never use integrity as a main word to describe them. They may have it now but they sure compromised it every chance they had throughout most of their career.
The professionals also had to learn something new.
Ok paul gay, settle down.
Lol ..' had' being the operative word.

@@JESUS7SAVESZZ Top in the same trio lineup. During their formation without a contract they were a quartet. With bass, guitar, drums and a keyboard.
That picture of Gene shows how much Nick Simmons looks like him.
Oh that explains everything
Really have enjoyed these Paul Stanley autobio pieces...”My Mother is the Most Beautiful...”..String chuckles there
Say what you want but Paul has a phenomenal memory and is a man of sheer will.
i always thought he was the doable one
"My mother is the most beautiful woman in the world"
LOL it's cute
But I'm still like what the heck 😂
Meh, it's a jewish thing!
@Benjamin S Get da fock outta heyah!
Every band has there own personalities as individual’s but they brought us music that made us fans love them for their impact on music and to the world
When they met it was in central park so they had room for their egos
The beginning of a beautiful.. partnership!
Paul Stanley to me is just your typical guitar player that wants to make it no matter what it takes. He is driven. As far as making it big time, that's what it takes. I've noticed these comments are about his personality. It takes ego and insane drive to weather it, all the way to the record deals. I like this tell all. Thank you Paul.
I think of him as more of a singer and front man really... and a real bitch. I used to love these guys, but they've ruined it.
Yeah thanks for being a world class jerk. Btw... what’s the REAL reason KISS ‘made it’?
Ohhh... can’t talk about that....
@@supremelc3667 please enlighten us.
He’s like me I’ve been looking for band members for months and writing songs I’ll do anything to make it
Funny how he describes Gene's demeanor at 1st meeting - conforms to every Israeli male I've ever met . The Adam Sandler movie, 'Don't Mess With The Zohan' satires it brilliantly.
No stereotype intended - honest...
zohan wouldnt support trump tho
@@andmoreagain5323 what? You didn't notice how right of centre Zohan was??
Sorry, I have no incantations that will open your eyes.
Trump let a jewish boy marry his daughter...
Trump obviously sees a hairdresser regularly even though he can't rock an 'Avalon'
And gee if I was as egocentric as Simmons I'm sure I'd be a lot wealthier
Paul Stanley is a riot, very intelligent guy, insightful.
Lol and they've been together ever since lol I love it
Mr. Ostrander was a music teacher on a Indian Reservation for years. The school is unaware of his KISS ties. Would be nice to get music room named after him.
5:09 I lost my shit hearing "My Uncle Is A Raft" because I've sent that song to so many of my friends and now I get to hear Paul mention it
Lol. I am glad your song took him aback.
I love when Paul calls someone else arrogant 🤷🏻♀️
He earned his arrogance
@@Hitemwhereithurtss lol 😂
Lol Paul, I Love your narration of your videos. Wow.!
Paul Stanley...my favorite Kiss member! Cool guy!
Still in the closet
@@usafinland3919 ummm... okay. Moron.
Is there anyone that Paul didn’t shit on in his book?
Himself
Himself 😂
Himself, Eric Singer, Tommy Thayer and his wife
He liked Bruce Kulick
Why is everyone such a cry baby about autobiographies?!! Does anyone who writes them or has one written for them not put others down?
I love the stories
Hehehe I don't know about Paul's musical talents but he is talented in story telling.
People, if you don’t like them, don’t watch these. Some people like myself love KISS don’t bring us down bc you have different interests
We’re KISS fans...we’re impervious to it by now.
Who doesn't see their mom as the most beautiful woman in the world right?
Those early days of Kiss would make for a good TV show or movie.
I enjoy listening to Paul talk.
Eventually, Gene will be humbled.
Songs By Lance I’m still waiting for that one
I want to hear "My Uncle is a Raft."
All you have to do is buy Gene's 2,000 $ box set lol
jean-pierre straub lmfao
ive heard it, its a piece of shit omg
ua-cam.com/video/NG23d3fISTw/v-deo.html
ive heard it
it sounds like the who around th time of the album sell out
the weirdness of the lyrics is a amature stab at being "psychedelic"
in the context of the times its not that weird
Damn, huge egos even when they were nobodies. Can you imagine what fame must have done to these guys?
Without Ace and Peter they would still be Wicked Lester! They only made it after they joined!
And they’ve played 75% of the bands career without them.
Doesn't matter if they joined or not. Paul and Gene had determination so they would've found the perfect members anyway,.. But excellent timing to find those two because that was the era they were destined to accomplish the beginning of their dreams.

Is that Gene picking his nose? Hey Gene! Relax! That booger already belongs to you.
Watch out Gene will trademark that booger
Hes saving it in a petri dish to sell it to a fan for $5,000 dollars. 🤣
Yea its Gene..u obviously not a fan eh? Get off the KISS wagon bruh🙄
Tonight, It Belongs To Him.
Diggin for gold
Genes songs are hilarious! My mother is the most beautiful girl
I prefer "My uncle is a raft"
smokeslet'sgo what funnier is that the uncle raft song was put in the ridiculous gene simmons vault
I’m surprised the other one wasn’t included
Let me know is my favorite kiss song. Its remarkable it's Paul's first song.
I actually like Gene Simmons most of the time he is himself and he is funny☺. Paul Stanley as a person is hard to crack .🙄
Agreed! I find Gene much more likeable and genuine than Paul who seems like a two face shit stirrer at times
I respect how he said he got high and listened to Pink Floyd and Jethro Tull lol
Still do it
I used to feel bad that critics ripped Kiss apart, but maybe they actually knew them personally...
lol exactly
The critics dreamed that they had a fraction of the money Kiss made in their hey day...
@@kagemaru259 Wouldn't doubt that's part of it, at least!
I have to hear "My Uncle is a Raft"!
Look up "KISS Funny Montage". It's in there!
ua-cam.com/video/NG23d3fISTw/v-deo.html
beavis meets butthead.
Those two are so arrogant. But I guess they earned it.
LOL, this is great.
Another well known KISS story. He didn't like him. Seems nothing has really changed, but they realized they could work together.
timm441 you know that's right.... he don't do shit for free ..lol
if there's a penny to be made Gene will find a way to make it
Are you a Jew? Are you? Ok we click
Ha! A bass player named "Maricon" @ 2:14 .
Marty Kohn has been on my list of joke names a long time, along with Ben Dejo.
Gene’s copyrighting picking your nose with that digit!
gene said him and paul never did drugs or smoked. i guess he lied
1st amendment freedom of speech, but this generations comments are sick
As much as people like to bash KISS for their music and songwriting skills (or their lack) i know they're not stupid. They play stupid music because they know that's what sells!
This is the only time I've heard PS admit that he used pot (like everybody else in the 70's)
Paul loves hearing himself speak.
It's an audio book. Jealous much.
it's called confidence dumbass. It gets you success.
And, so do you... And everyone else who listens to his "audiobook"...
If you weren't fond of his voice, you would have read the book, instead...
Or maybe you're just lazy... In other words: The opposite, of which, that Paul describes, here...
Well imagine that Paul said Gene played some songs that were kind of goofy and question I have is what has changed?
always wondered after he analled me when i was a virgin and said not to tell my parents because they'd either send him to jail or make him marry me but he'd rather go to jail because music was the most important thing in his life if him and gene were the 2 guys brian danter told me went into lrc music and told him to start going to this church so he could hook up with the pastors 12 year old daughter weird because he watched billy graham at my house sometimes too

Haha, This never gets old. I don’t even like KISS.
"my uncle is a raft"... LOL, what the fuck??
I thought they met at a gay bar.
Ink Black They did.
They still do every monday night.
no that was you
Should it really matter?
No that would have been if he had met you
* thought process of many Kiss haters : I can't stand those guys or their music ! I think I'll spend my time watching videos featuring this band I don't like 😐
You haters suck. What have you done musically? These guys are legends.
Gene Simmons. And. Paul Stanley were the best in kiss. I got to see them in concert. They were the best.
shear those sheep 🐑
quando um virginiano e um capricorniano se encontram
Wait for it ... Gene is going to trademark nose picking!
He already did I bought him a house.
Hahaha... biggest phonies in music history!
I am sorry about the hate that Paul and Gene get...
Is it just me or in jeans hair toward the bottom. It looks like his “demon “make up!
Maybe they put that in there on purpose.
ffs gene, are you in pre school. a grown man should not pick their nose
This is probably the reason why he did it. Because fuck social rules and shock stupid people who are disgusted by harmless shit. lol
He aint picking his nose , he is pushing a diamond up into the Jewish safe.

Paul Stanley looks like kwebb
Sunday Driver? 😂
It's Gene not Jean.😏
Two great business men
The ego these guys have makes me wonder how the hell did they get as big as they got
Nobody knows why... Jordan Peterson attributes it to their higher IQ...
i dunnno jews are such ambitious people they persist on succeeding.
this guy never liked anybody he was in a band with, strange.
T Hawthorne I’ve never heard him speak ill of Tommy Thayer, and that’s the only person that I can think of.
Hell he even said negative things about Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick.
They are a great songwriting team .... I think that's what they meant when comparing to Lennon/McCartney ....Stanley/Simmons
No. They are okay songwriters but to put them in the same thought as Lennon and McCartney is ludicrous
Lloyd munga, go read a few album covers..... GENE and PAUL HAD OTHER WRITERS AS WELL. THEY(GENE AND PAUL) PUT THEIR APPROVALS ON IT. THEY WERE SEPARATE PERSONALITIES WRITING STYLE DIFFERENT BUT OT WAS ALL KISS MUSIC
That must be a big booger. He worked on the whole video
Gene Klein. Wtf. His real name is Chaim Weitz. A real Jew name
When Gene came to the states he realized his Hebrew name didn't quite fit into US way of life so change it to Gene Klein then he change it Simmons because Klein wasn't a rock star name
william quinn my friend. I've read passages in the Talmud that would make your skin crawl. A truly evil book. Mainstream Jews don't even bother with that shit we call religion
mr zed I have also read the talmud. It is a disgrace to literature at all levels. And yes, it made my skin crawl.
mr zed I do hope mainstream Jews do not believe or follow the talmud.
william quinn then you are a human being with intelligence. The rabbis that teach Talmudic philosophies are truly evil.
hes really really neurotic
Paul sure does love to sling shit at everyone while dislocating his shoulder patting himself on the back.
Why does gene simmons enjoy picking his nose, and spitting on couches so much?
my uncle is a raft
If my family survived the holocaust I would never change their last name. The name alone been through the worst thing in history.
Kiss was terrible about putting 3 good songs on the album and 7 filler songs. If you take the good songs from every album and make a compilation tape, you might have one album
.....and I posit.... that if KISS was around ....back in 1933 Germany.... there would have been no 2nd world war.
He was pre programmed to hate being scrutinized and judged....really so I guess Paul is what we lay man call a hypocrite. The more this narcissist talks the more I cant stand him.
Pauls songs were always better than Gene's.
Of the original 4, Paul's easily the best songwriter.
2 jews who hated all their bandmates
Weed and Pink Floyd 👌
It's a very common thing to wanna test those you dont know. Fighters do it all the time. But these guys work ethic is epic. Today a millenial wouldn't practice.
This sounds like how girls get along.
Gene is a goof to everyone, best not to show any respect before him or he will use it to humiliate you.
Thank God for Paul and Gene!!!
They both need therapy.
So you are doing what you hate you are judging everyone how ironic.

It is BullShit. Sounds like Gar Barge from a Script.

I think a band that wore costumes on stage deserves some slack here.
Now of they were serious artists I might agree with you.
Paul is the most talented member in Kiss
Cole Robert I agree-Paul Frehley is the most talented member of Kiss.
The Pauls in Kiss were talented, Paul Frehley and Paul Caravello. Stanley Eisen isn't a Paul
Vinnie Vincent was the most talented member of KISS. Hands down.
