My scuzzy coked-out step uncle was a big wig at Casablanca Records when I was a kid, so I got all the KISS records for free much to the envy of my neighborhood chums. I was a huge fan and like many kids, we would spend our free time putting on KISS makeup and playing air guitar to their records. What's cuter than a couple 1st graders singing "Mainline", "Love Gun" or "shock me - we can cum together"?
Though I'm still a fan and even went to see them recently, in adulthood I make fun of them waaay more often than I praise them. How can you not watch Paul Stanley shaking his 58 year old Jewish ass across the stage and not have a huge grin on your face? And by the way, does he dye his chest hair?? Be that as it may, they still put on a great show, and even with the pyro and whatnot, their show would be nothing without Paul's cheesy yet endearing stage banter to the audience (recently with hilarious Wal*Mart plugs!). Here is a great bootleg with 70 tracks of just that.
Also, did you know that he's a painter?

ReplyDeleteI lived in SF in 96/97 and saw Mensclub alot. They were pretty unavoidable at that time for sure.
Thanks!
Just watched Phantom of the Park...hilarious. Nice, Paul Stanley talkin' about lickin dudes.
ReplyDeleteI like the "Uzi of Ooze" part the best.
ReplyDeleteYou may have a huge grin on your face, but Paul is shakin' his 58 year old ass all the way to the bank! :)
