Paul is extremely well-spoken and thoughtful.

[HectorPerez-kxlj]

I could listen to Paul talking all day. Such a compose and calm demeanor. 🤘

[markb]

I admire Paul's ability to effectively and insightfully articulate from experience. I think he could be a very good teacher.

[leokimvideo]

The guitar player that Paul is referring to is Stephen Coronel from Wicked Lester. He introduced Gene to Paul. If you look into Stephen Coronel's recent history sadly he's caught up in some fairly seriously bad things and currently in jail. Life's full of chance meetings and Paul was incredibly lucky to meet Gene. They needed each other to balance out a very complicated chemistry between them.

[gregromano]

Paul is definitely the most grounded and stable of the 4.

[NedkaRokonokova]

In the 70s, Paul was a crush. As the decades have passed, he's become a real inspiration. One of the titans of rock doesn't have to get drunk, stoned, or obnoxious to live the dream. Who can fault him for that?

[drewschrep]

At the age of 54 now, becoming a widower at age 50 after 19 years of marriage to my best friend and love of my life...I totally get what Paul is saying and I respect him so much more now! I think he and I could be great friends if we ever met! God bless you, Paul.

[MarilynFinland]

I read his biography without knowing anything about him as a person. I was touched by his story, his struggles and the purity of his soul, really. He has my respect as a person and musically.

[justseaningaround]

Paul is seriously intelligent/observant. I knew someone, that knows Paul (some projects they did together) and how he described working with Paul really impressed me. Paul was so clear on intentions, behaved with integrity but had boundaries as well. Impressive dude, from where I was sitting. Very stoic. 🧡🐳 Not bad for a guitar player… ;)

[roy]

What a great interview. Thank you, both.

[billlemocks]

Paul Stanley is pretty smart and wise ... I never thought he'd be so. Sounds like a great guy.

[quantum_man]

As a kid I loved Paul Stanley. Now I know why. He's a man of true wisdom and integrity. Wonderful advice given in this interview.

[jayweiss]

Paul is so humble! A True Living Legend 👍🏻🤟🏻

[scottweems]

Paul always has had a mind of pure Exelence!

[PCTubone]

I love this guy despite bad critics he gets! He provides incredible statements 👍👌

[gregsonlunz]

Paul seems like someone you could talk with for hours.

[ALEX-liox]

i feel like i can talk to paul for hours, he seems like a good mentor, and damn dude is 70 and looks amazing !

[UsedSpecialtyTires]

Great Interview he speaks from experience and seems very thoughtful on his choice of words.

[stanleybroniszewsky]

Paul deserves nothing but the best in life, he rightfully earned it. And I love the fact his parents are from the country of my paternal grandparents - Poland.

[joserosario]

What a great guy and very grounded. One of the best ever!
