PAUL STANLEY Doesn't Rule Out KISS/LADY GAGA Collaboration - Oct. 3, 2011
Linda Leseman of LA Weekly recently conducted an interview with KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

LA Weekly: KISS fans are intensely devoted. Why do you think that is?

Stanley: Well, part of it has to do with how boring most bands are. [Laughs] I don't necessarily want to buy a t-shirt with a guy on it who looks like my neighbor. And I think KISS has always been about celebrating self-empowerment. Celebrating the idea that anything is possible with determination and hard work. We're the proof of that....There are no fans more rabid or devoted than KISS fans. KISS fans are what all other fans are measured against. That's how it came to be known as the KISS Army.

LA Weekly: You just announced the title of your new album, "Monster". Can we expect a KISS tour in support of the record?

Stanley: Sure. We ultimately have always seen ourselves as a live band that prides itself not only in playing music but in entertaining. And I say "entertainment" in capital letters with lights flashing around it. We're proud of that. There's nothing worse than going to a concert and paying for a high-priced ticket and seeing somebody stroll out onto stage and sit on a stool. You kind of wonder where your money went.

LA Weekly: This brings to mind a relatively new army of devoted fans — Lady GaGa's Little Monsters. I know GaGa is a fan of KISS. Any chance of a KISS/GaGa collaboration?

Stanley: Anything's possible. She's terrific, and it's not improbable.

I feel weak!! I think I need to lie down....

Does this surprise anybody? We all know that KISS is in the business to make a major profit and you can't deny that. Lady Gaga is one of the biggest names in pop music right now, which makes her a cash cow. Although I will say that I don't know which duet is more unusual, this or Metallica/Lou Reed.

Seems there have been a very interesting case of unusual duets coming together to make music. What next? Rebecca Black and Iron Maiden?

 

[Nololob]

I see nothing wrong with that.

 

[Mr. Bob Dobolina]

KISS and Lady Gaga doing something together doesn't shock me. Now Clarence Clemons playing with Lady Gaga blew my mind (and not in a good way).

 

[That 70s Guy]

It won't happen.

I think the most notable part of this interview/excerpt would be this:

LA Weekly: You just announced the title of your new album, "Monster". Can we expect a KISS tour in support of the record?

Stanley: Sure. We ultimately have always seen ourselves as a live band that prides itself not only in playing music but in entertaining. And I say "entertainment" in capital letters with lights flashing around it. We're proud of that.

Case in point being the BOLD comments. I wish more bands would pay attention to this!!!!

And this is also one reason I will forever consider KISS to be one of the best if not THE very best live band of all time. A perfect example that completely mirrors Paul's comments above. I remember back in '94 or '95 when the Eagles got back together. I SO wanted to go to that show, as I'm a huge fan of the Eagles. I'm glad I didn't go though. One, the money was retardedly expensive at the time (over $100/ticket) and two, this is what you would have seen as far as a stage show goes

Love the Eagles, but at those ticket prices, I don't want to find myself slouching in my seat just nodding my head to the beat, ya know?

They have to let Paul do more of the talking anymore.

I love the Eagles too man, but yeah I couldn't do a long set like that and at a through the roof price to boot.

I did an acoustic set with my band once and though it went well, I can honestly say it wasn't the most energetic audience I ever had.
