Paul : KISS is about the friendship of two people

[John Shaft]

[quoteIf Gene and Paul were so great with out Ace and Peter there from the beginning then Wicked Lester would have had some success. This is a KISS documentary not a Wicked Lester documentary.]

There is NO KISS without Gene & Paul - There IS & WAS KISS without Ace & Pete.

It comes down to those 2 guys (G & P). Ace & Pete were definitely part of the foundation, beginning & early success of KISS - but over the entire KISStory of KISS = It's Gene & Paul.

The actual KISStory of KISS from the very beginning to the current day
IS about the friendship (dysfunctional as it sometimes has been ) of 2 people!
These 2 people (Paul & Gene) have been there at the very beginning - yes, even before Ace & Old Pete - and will be there at the very end (without Ace & Old Pete)!

What is so hard to understand??

Not hard to understand at all and you summed it all up perfectly. Well said!!

However, the usual suspects will continue to stomp their feet and cry about this...

[TheSpoiler]

Kiss is about Ace, Paul, Gene and Peter, and the incalculable and priceless contributions of those who were there from the beginning and through the glory years. Namely: the road crew, wives (thank you, Lydia!) and friends, and especially Bill Aucoin, Sean Delaney and Neil Bogart.

Peter leaving was the beginning of the end, Ace and Bill leaving were the final nails in the coffin. It was over. Everything after that was/is the story of the $immons $tanley Corporation, and I’m not interested in that story at all. And nor should any self respecting music documentary maker worth his salt.

The Simmons Stanley Corporation story from 1984 onwards is the sound of a million hippopotamus farts, blowing in unison at Paul Stanley’s stink face. Completely different band, Kiss in name only. Keep that crap outta my real Kiss doco, thankyouverymuch.

The issue here is, you (or any of us) don't get to choose what Kiss "is". That honour belongs to the owners. And they have chosen that for the last 18 years, Kiss IS Simmons, Stanley, Thayer and Singer. You may not approve, but it doesn't change the reality.

Kiss certainly USED to be the original four, but those days are long, long gone.

I respectfully disagree. And I’ve absolutely no time whatsoever for Gene and Paul ‘the owners’ corporate business speak. From Ace and Peter leaving onwards, it was no longer Kiss, and nothing more than the Simmons Stanley Corporation. It’s just a name, but beyond that, it sure wasn’t Kiss.

It was no more Kiss, than Page and Plant pooling their respective solo efforts would have been Led Zeppelin.

This is the correct answer. Plus Gene & Paul left to their own devices suck on their own.

Paul and Gene left to their own devices gave us Creatures of the Night and Lick It Up. I'll take that version of Kiss over any other.

Again, emotion over fact. It's a lovely fantasy.

[Chaim Wigz]

The only fact, is the fact that Gene and
Paul kept the name. It was no more Kiss than Starship was Jefferson Airplane.

[King]

KISS is the story of 4 troubled young men who formed a band and became superstars and after 1978 it all fell apart for them but 2 of them kept the name alive afterwards. The end.

No, I'm accepting the reality that Kiss is not just the original lineup. Your "it's not Kiss to me" stance is just an emotion/nostalgia combo and nothing more. When you start heading down the "my fandom is superior to your fandom" route, you'll only end up in the playground, because that's where it belongs.

[StrangestWay]

Revisionist history. The story of Kiss is 4 knuckleheads (as Gene would like to say) from New York who overcame the odds to become a big band. Everything Kiss is right now is based off those initial 6 years.

I love that Gene told the director that Ace and Peter cannot be glossed over. They are an integral part of the Kiss story. Now Paul says it’s about the friendship of Gene and himself. Anyone who follows the band knows they aren’t close friends. The Rolling Stone article pointed that out.

THIS in it's every aspect. Thanks for this reply.

I have, FOREVER, since 1981 (12 yrs old) insisted that Kiss is whoever is in Kiss, and it's whoever Gene and Paul say is Kiss. That's completely fair, and still valid. (even if I personally think the new lineup is not greatness and Monster is the worst Kiss album. It's still valid as Kiss.)

That said, the original 4 was utterly crucial to the very existence of KISS. Without those four = Nothing. Wins over everything. All goes back to root.

[d4nugster]

there' truth in what he says. the band wouldn't have lasted this long if a semblance of friendship didn't exist between gene and him. it's how he paints the picture fans have issue with.

[mike115]

I loved the band through many of their years when G&P were the only originals and also go to see originals. All just different versions of my Kiss.

[vantheman77]

I'm glad that Gene wants Ace and Peter to be presented well in the documentary despite their refusal to participate. Paul is basically focusing on the current lineup and promoting them.

[banks]

I guess the Yes story was basically about Chris Squire until he died and the Eagles story is now about Don Henley.

Things can be simplified in the way we like.

[Spiritual_Chaos]

Should be noted, in the interview with the Director of the Doc posted on this board - he says that he and Paul had discussions and talked about another musicdoc (name and/or artists in it escapes me) that was focused on "two friends" but the Director decided not to go down that route but make a doc focusing on the band as a whole.

So maybe Paul didn't get that memmo and now can't see the doc in another light than what he "wanted" it to be.

Maybe the Anvil one from a while back - those two were genuine childhood friends though rather than two guys who probably will never see each other again socially once they don't have to be in a band with each other any more.

No. Wasn't the Anvil one. But I loved that one.

Was so hyped up when they came here to Gothenburg - I wanted to support them in this small rock club and get some merch etc. But then I got appendicitis that night.

That sucks - the club wasn't the Rockbaren, was it? When the film came out here it premiered at the Glasgow Film Festival and the band played a short set in the cinema after the movie ended...the weirdest thing was that it was at the cinema that was built on the site of the old Apollo Theatre where I'd last seen Anvil opening for Motorhead in 1983.

No, but not that far from it. Sticky Fingers it's called.

Which is interesting, because the dynamic was supposedly the other way around in 1995, though I have my doubts somewhat. Perhaps Gene had apprehension, but ain't no way he didn't expect a nice pay increase as compared to his Kiss earnings at that time - and we know money is king to him

The only person in the history of the band that should be glossed over is Vinnie.

Vinnie was in KISS with and without makeup and was involved in 3 of their best albums and 2 tours. Did you forget about Mark? or were you assuming he is not even worth glossing over?

[ChiptTooth67]

Now a documentary about the friendship of 2 rabid KISS fans from the early days to the present is something I’d be interested in. Sounds good, when does it air?

Mark is merely a fraction of a footnote in the history of Kiss. Not worth what I just typed about him.

[alanrosembung]

Mark, Bruce, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer are all totally replaceable. Any competent touring musician could have been placeholders like those guys were.

[norsemen]

They should have gotten Rob Reiner to direct the «documentary»…

[Inclined2RNRAN]

Wrong Paul — it’s about Beth... it’s ALWAYS been about Beth, followed by spitting blood, breathing fire, a certain someone’s long tongue, and a smoking guitar.

[Tito]

Mark, Bruce, Eric Singer and Tommy Thayer are all totally replaceable.

Yes, because there just wasn't enough friendship there.

[The doctor]

ERIC SINGER: "I'd say it's like Yin and yang. A battery has a positive side and a negative side and together that creates the electrical energy that's needed for it to power something."

The Last KISS -- Backstage with the rockers on their final tour -- Sunday Night


The negative side may be from Gene. “I’ll sing everything,” Simmons said in another video. “Because my voice always works. I don’t lose my voice. I don’t lose my voice…Paul Stanley.”

[Beers Are Calling]

https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/paul- ... two-people

Yes, KISS is about this friendship:

Person 1: Paul Stanley
Person 2: Fans' money

[alanrosembung]

More like

Gene Simmons
Fans Money

And

Paul Stanley
Paul Stanley’s need for ego gratification

[70skid]

As Peter Criss has said, he has no problem with whatever the heck Gene and Paul call KISS as long as somebody isn’t up there dressed as him. Even singing Beth for heaven’s sake. What is so hard to get ? Peter and Ace are 1/2 of the Original KISS and to present faux KISS with imposters while bashing the Originals is just an absolute fuck you to the people who made them rich.

All of the other iterations / presentations of KISS were completely fine and could be appreciated on their own merits. Eric Carr, VV, Bruce, all of them were respectful to the Originals. This KISS ? A disgrace to the legacy of the band.

[peterparker78]

Whether Kiss could continue without G&P as Kiss 2.0 is only half the issue, I'm not sure anyone would want to be the Demon or the Starchild knowing G&P would likely be side stage crtiqueing every move you made and every breath you took. I so wanted to be in a tribute band once, and actually tried to form one (very long story), but I would I want to be in Kiss 2.0 ? Nope....

So why did Peter (and Ace) sell rights to the personas. I'll take the cash but you can't use what I sold?
In broad terms post 2000 Kiss is G&P and the rights they bought. I suspect they spent their 70's money a long time ago but continued to earn a lot more after the A&P days.

I don’t think Peter or Ace realized Gene & Paul would stoop so low as to ever dress other people up as them. Kind of a common decency thing, know what I mean? They probably assumed they’d just put their faces on a bunch of merch.

In addition - I would never think that fans would actually pay to see kiss as a tribute band. It still is odd to me fans support the current band (I’m not criticizing current fans - just saying it’s surprising/shocking to me) & I’m sure Ace & Peter felt the same.

Sometimes truth is stranger than fiction.

[mike115]

So what were A&P selling? If there was a common deceny thing why were they selling it? If they assumed things incorrectly is that somone else's fault?
As to 2.0 Kiss is live entertainment. No idea if it would work but I'm not closed to a good night out. I enjoyed the history but don't see that others shouldn't have the oportunity not to experience evena very watered down version.

I guess we all have different interpretations of what “live entertainment” is.
You can’t really even refer to them as a live act anymore because of the fake vocals and backing tapes.

I hate that they’re going out this way. A damn shame and was totally avoidable.

[Mr.Antonio2005]

Dear Lord, please stop Paul. These stories are comical and cringeworthy.

[gooerstcb]

I truly believe Paul is losing his mind.

Probably lack of oxygen from wearing his mask when he rides his bike on those vital selfie-missions. Plus the wig glue would react to the excess heat in his helmet and give off dangerous fumes.

Maybe you should get some oxygen and visit a a head Dr. It seems that your only goal is to tear down a band that supposedly like. You seem to have an extra special fixation with Paul. Hmmm. LOL!
