Just a link from his twitter feed I really enjoyed. I don't follow but my wife linked me in. Band never did much for me but this Alzheimer patient that got triggered in a good way is heart warming.

I went to the kiss alive 3 release party back in the day, and the band sat at a table and did a meet and greet with everyone.
I remember shaking hands with Paul Stanley, and although he is a short little skinny guy, he has hands the size of dinner plates.
It was weird.

I hate kiss

Here is a clip of Carol Kaye, arguably the greatest bass player that ever lived, giving Gene Simmons a lesson. Simmons can't figure out what she is teaching him

I figured Kiss would be right up your alley given your love of trump- they have the same general qualities.
Marginal knowledge, value showmanship over substance, and they wear the same amount of makeup.

Paul and Gene are both assholes. I mean, it's a nice video, but both of them are dickheads.

Yeah. Was never a Kiss fan so don't know much about them, but I have heard the same. Think Gene and Paul refused to play with the other two original members when they were inducted into Rock and Roll HOF, and the former two treated the latter two like shit the majority of their careers, especially during the reunion tour in the 90's.

Plus I remember trying to watch a couple episodes of that shitty A and E show Gene had and he was an ultra fuckface, I couldn't even do it.

When I hear Kiss now, I don't see how anyone can love that music. It does nothing for me.

not at all, but you arent worth the effort.
You are a pothole on the scenic drive that is CCS.
annoying to have to drive over, but meaningless and quickly forgotten.

Here's my Paul Stanley story;

I was working as a bartender at a woodfield restaurant when PS was signing his art or doing some signing at the art store there.

I went in that day to cover but the person actually showed up so I went there for nothing because nobody else wanted to give up their shift. So, I stuck around waiting to see PS.

Dude had like 8 security guards, you couldn't even go near the guy when he walked thru the mall. I give him credit he didn't use a back entrance, he walked thru the mall.

I grew up a kiss fan and when I saw him I was in shock, I just stood there. He looked at me, pointed his finger at me, then kept on walking. That was pretty much it.

I do know he was trying to sell his art and would only sign his art which he wanted thousands of dollars for, but to those people, he was pretty fucking cool to.

One guy was in tears over it and PS gave him something out of his murse, I remember seeing that much.
