KISS 50th Anniversary- Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons

For the golden anniversary of Kiss, lead singer/guitarist/songwriter Paul Stanley told me about the band fraternity of groups with whom they shared the stage some fifty years ago, “The lovefest ended when we hit the stage, because we were there to destroy them.” Gene Simmons agrees, “Putting on the make up was like putting on warpaint.”

KISS 50th Anniversary- Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons 2-12

My exclusive classic rock interview with Peter Gabriel in front of a small intimate audience was his first reveal of those songs in September 1992, plus “Love to Be Loved”, “Steam”, “Kiss That Frog”, and “Secret World”. Part one of two.
