Experience the awe and majesty of Paul Stanley’s stage banter

Here, viewers will find very little music and only brief appearances from Gene Simmons and the other members of Kiss. It’s just the Starchild himself, both with and without makeup, communing with the audience in that inimitably screechy, gravelly voice of his while wearing studded leather vests and shredded muscle shirts. A typical Stanley gem: “Sometimes, people say, ‘Why do you write songs about women taking off their clothes?’ I thought about that, and I thought, ‘Probably because I like looking at naked women.’” Other topics include alcohol (he favors it), getting up early for work (he disdains it), the spirit of rock and roll (which is alive and well in New Jersey), and the hierarchy of hit songs (there are mere classics, and then there are classics among classics). Anecdotes about groupies, meanwhile, are not only shared but enthusiastically acted out, and the word “people” is repeated many, many times.
