Biography
Queens, New York, USA (1952 – present)
Rock And Roll All Nite”, “Detroit Rock City”, “Hard Luck Woman”, “I Was Made For Lovin’ You”, “Crazy Crazy Nights” and “Forever”. He also came up with the name ‘Kiss’.
Before KISS, Paul Stanley was in a local band, Rainbow (not to be confused with Ritchie Blackmore’s Rainbow) and Uncle Joe. Through a mutual friend of Gene Simmons’, Stanley joined Simmons’ band Wicked Lester in the early 1970s. The band recorded an album in 1972, but as of 2008 it has never been officially released (although songs from the album appeared on Kiss’s 2001 box set). Wicked Lester soon fell apart and Stanley and Simmons placed ads for a drummer and a guitarist in various New York papers. This resulted in Peter Criss and Ace Frehley joining the group, and they named themselves Kiss. Kiss released their self-titled debut in February 1974.
Stanley’s persona in Kiss is “The Starchild”, “The Bandit” in the mid-1973 shows.
In his book Sex Money Kiss, Gene Simmons admits that Stanley was the driving force for Kiss during the makeup-free 1980s, while Simmons was feeling lost without his demon makeup and attempting to launch a film career.

When Paul did the tour for Live to Win his voice was top notch. I would have much rather seen his solo concert than a "Kiss" show with Tommy Thayer -_- Yeah, keep trying to do Ace's licks while bending yourself like Ace on the stage, Tommy, you look like Schwarzenegger trying to do ballet. Anyway, Live to Win was definitely, as a genre, today's shitty mainstream pop rock, but it was the best shit of its kind and I liked a it a whole lot! It was so hook-based though that I managed to listen to it too much.

Paul Stanley is still do-able. Gene Simmons on the other hand is gross and never had an ounce of talent!
