    I met the band, starting with Paul, during the Kiss Alive 3 tour/promotion campaigns. They were sitting in the sun behind a mall outside of Buffalo, NY when the cd came out. I had just broken my back and was in a wheelchair, paralyzed from the waist down at 17 years old. I get there, the line wraps around the mall almost 3 times! I see that and I knew in my condition that I couldn't sit in the sun that long so I decided to leave. One of the guys that worked for the band saw me leaving and asked if I'd gotten my stuff signed. I told him what happened. He said "c'mon with me" and took me right to the front of the line. This was just before they were starting to sign. So, Paul was at the right-hand of the table, in the 1st position to where the line was and i go to him, grab the pile of stuff i had and right away the security guard behind him pushes the stuff back my way and says "pick ONE thing!!" Paul, grabs his arm and says "leave him alone, it's ok!" and signs EVERYTHING in his perfect signature and spoke with me a little abt why I was in the chair. Then he pushed everything to Gene who also signed everything. The other 2 guys only signed the new cd bc everything else was from the 70s. Paul and that original security guy treated me like Kiss Family. I may have lost insterest in the band bc of Gene's neverending greed but Paul will always be remembered by me for that day.

    Please get Angus. Angus Young and Tony Iommi are why I play an SG. As a teenager, I could never afford an SG. In 1996 I joined the Marine Corps and within the first few weeks after being sent to my duty station in KBay Hawaii I used my untouched money from boot camp and School of Infantry to finally buy an SG. I still own the same guitar and play it to this day in my band. Please, get Angus on here.

He was very excited about how it sustained unplugged (if I remember correctly he bought it). You could see he wasn't a guitar enthusiast, He truly loved guitars. He was a pleasant surprise.

    Paul in his peak was unmatched, one of the greatest rock front men and guitarists. Add to that songwriter, artist and producer. It's funny I never associate Paul with Gibson Guitars even though he used them in the 70's, in Kiss the fans saw Ace Frehley playing the Les Pauls and maybe the most iconic was his Black Beauty. Ace had a huge influence on so many people to buy a Gibson Guitar even to this day. As we all know the Ace Frehley Custom Gibsons have proven to be the best investments. Ace has had so much of an influence on so many bands in the 80's 90's 2000's. I loved seeing that Ibanez prototype & mirror, to me that's the Paul Stanley style guitar. Pauls double neck Sunburst is a special guitar for the hardcore 70 Kiss fans if you know Hard Luck Woman

    Actually Ace’s most iconic was the Cherry Sunburst,as Ace said because at that time Kiss had exploded. It’s a 73 Custom which he still owns! Unfortunately he pawned his original 1959! Another was his 1973 Deluxe Tobacco Burst Deluxe 2 pickup later a 3 pickup! If you watch them live at the Summit in 78 you see both in use 77-80 was their peak.

    Paul has such a calm and sincere way of telling his stories. I could easily listen to all 1.5 hours of this. He is one of the greats. I laughed when he said "I sold it to Dave Amato".

    Absolutely my favorite so far… not for the guitars as much as his outlook and attitude toward playing and the instruments. A real reverence and sensibility I can really vibe with. Super cool! Thanks for doing this to Paul, Mark, and the whole Gibson crew that makes it happen. Must be a real pain to edit out to get it digestible. I’m sure there’s loads more we’d love to see that was shot.

    50 years of rock and roll. I listen to kiss the first time at age of 7. Well, thats exactly 50 years ago. With 57 my love and dedication to this band is still alive ( alive 🤭) and I know I will love this band until I die. To see the cracked mirror guitar brought a tear of joy to my eye! Paul is the rockstar supreme. And I love him for so many things. Especially for keeping Kiss alive in hard times. I saw them 6 times live , two times at the reunion with ace and peter. And 4 times in the last line up. Every show was a blast. In 2017 I did a Kiss ink. The four masks on the inside of my left arm. This is for my eternal love for Kiss. Childish? Maybe, but I love this ink the same I love Kiss. They are with me my whole life. I lost jobs. Friendships and relationships broke. But there is something that is always with me. The music of kiss. So, think whatever you like about my words. It's okay and I respect your opinions. I know that my heart still beats for rock and roll. And if will ever happend to get pauls autograph on my arm....guess what my next tattoo will be! All the best to all of you. And to the fab four : thank you for 50 years! ❤❤❤❤

    Paul is refreshingly humble, with no pretentiousness (at least in this interview). I love the fact that he is advocating for modern day guitars. As long as the guitar feels good and sounds good, you can make music with it.

    RUSH is my favorite band, although, when I was 15, the KISS phase hit me as an earlier fav. I saw them during the Love Gun tour in '77 at the SF Cow Palace. Then two decades later, for the heck of it, I saw them in San Jose during their first reunion tour. At one point, when they elevate over the crowd on the platforms, and with Ace and Paul way up high and directly over my 5th row seat, Paul's sweat drenched my arm when he did a Townsend arm whirl (cool, but also yuk), and then Ace threw his pick out, which dropped right at my feet. The guys in front of me scrambled like crazy searching for it, while I simply bent down and picked it up. It was awesome! Rock on!
