En ese tiempo Paul competía con el mejor momento de los vocalistas de rock, habían muchos en el rock, metal, glam ...pero claramente fue uno de los mejores y poco valorado como vocalista..la banda en general se decía que era plástica, para mí no...eran acero y talento..

They started in the early 70s and the reason they went with the wild look and the makeup is that they wanted to put together a show that would blow everybody's mind. Then in the 80s, as they evolved, they decided to drop all that and perform as a straight ahead rock band. This was the MTV Unplugged special that spearheaded Paul's and Gene's reunion with original members Ace and Peter (lead guitar and drums, respectively). The reunion brought back the costumes and makeup which they've kept ever since, despite Ace and Peter leaving the band a second time. They've had a few turkeys, but for the most part they've put out a lot of phenomenal music over the years. They definitely have A LOT more talent than some people give them credit for.

Pauls vocals were pre recorded for the farewell tour, all their recent tours. He lost his trademark range, by 2000. Any kiss fan can tell that, hell. Paul admits it now. Its why he isnt doing new kiss material, but his soul music. One of the best voices in rock, but, in his 70s, he cant sing like he did in his 20s-40s. This unplugged performance was the mecca for fans. It was the reunion and everyone was at their best.

In 2000 he still had most of his range and still sounded great. He had some issues on some dates of the 2004 Rock The Nation tour, and he pushed through it - something he would continue to do over the next several years, absolutely shredding his voice.

Paul is the man! Power and soul in his voice. No matter what he sounds like today, nobody can take away what this man did for Rock and Roll. Funny thing is, in the 70's and at the top of the bands career Paul was a pretty good vocalist, but in the 80's Paul really ramped himself up to become a great vocalist!

After over 40yrs, they still sell. What happened to all them, “boy bands?” Long and forgotten! The ones that have shit to say about KISS? It’s called jealous. 🤘🏻🤘🏻

Paul Stanley is one of the best front men in Rock!!!! He has it all .. the looks, the talent, the voice and he is sexy as hell. That note he holds...and he is sitting down..that is extreme vocal and diaphragm control.. not many these days could do this. Also, he is completely deaf in his right ear. The fact he can stay in range with that kind of control, range and reverb is BEYOND Amazing!!!!! Paul Stanley deserves more credit than he gets. Loved him from the second i heard him at age 12!

This is the best example of KISS at its best. This lineup is easily the most talented and it’s because the makeup was gone and the music really needed to carry them. I don’t think anybody could watch this and be able to deny how talented KISS and Paul Stanley specifically are.

Makeup didn't make a difference. True fans understand that. They have always been this good. just some ppl can't see past their own ignorance and understand KISS has always been more then what you saw it was more about what your heard. The music is a bit immature but it still holds up against anything modern by leaps and bounds.

As a lifelong kiss fan, I can admit, kiss did succeed above their talent level musically. But, theyre ability to sell themselves and put on a killer stage show are also talents. So did they really over achieve, or just achieved using the skills they were given.

What does 'musically' mean to you then? How fast they can play guitar? Because they are amazing songwriters, legendary singers (both gene and paul). Writing great simple riffs is way harder than playing more technically advanced.

He wrote this song about his girlfriend Donna Dixon (a big TV star in the 80s)! He was watching the news and saw she was getting married to Dan Akroid. Paul didn’t even know she had broke up with him or was dating Dan! It was a huge shock to learn on TV

They’re talented musicians and they have always had the best playing with them as a part of their different versions throughout the years. Some masters of their instruments.

Here are some cool songs that guys like me who caught on to them back in the beginning loved and why they grew to be big in the first place. These are older songs off early albums but boy do they rock. "100,000 Years", "Rock Bottom", "Watching You", "Cold Gin", "Firehouse", "Parasite" "Black Diamond"

I’m a huge fan of Kiss for their hard rock but I love the unplugged album! It’s full of really good songs and most people won’t even believe you that’s it’s actually Kiss. Lol

It’s crazy you said Paul could sing R&B because he grew up listening and loving Motown and all it’s artist so he is R&B in his heart. Paul also has a R&B album out now in his 60s which I listen to every time I get into my car because he kills it and it’s so soothing with songs that takes me back to my childhood and I sing right along with him lol. Paul’s voice in those days was so underrated and unappreciated but IMO he had one of the best voices in Rock. I love your reaction and I appreciate that you know and love great music. 🙏❤️

Listen to King of the Night time world, Room Service, Fire house, Got to Choose.

You should hear Paul song this from his solo album (One Live Kiss). That version will give you goosebumps. He really sings from his soul. You can tell he's thinking of someone that was once very special to him.Very intense and sung with much emotion.

I admit to being a bit biased, & will always prefer the original studio version. But it's the first one I heard (having bought Creatures as soon as it was released). Not to mention that at the time, the song spoke to my own feelings as I was trying to get back the woman that I was heart & soul in love with.

This song is about actress Donna Dixon with whom Paul had a relationship going and she kept the fact that she was dating (and eventually married) Dan Ackroid behind his back a secret from him. That thing of "Singing it like you lived it" certainly applies to Paul here.

When you tour as relentlessly as they did, year in, year out, you get VERY good at what you do. One thing to consider-he is playing rhythm guitar as well as singing like that. In 1999 Paul played one of the last Phantoms of the Opera. No one sounds like Paul Stanley.

ask any black metal band who influenced them and they all say KISS!!!....their influence on Metal is undeniable!!!

You're not the only one that thinks Paul had a good voice... in the mid 90s, relatively close to when this show was taped, he did a 6 month stint as the phantom of the ooera in Toronto.
