PAUL STANLEY: 'You Can't Beat 55,000 People Screaming Your Name'
October 22, 2008Shayna Rose Arnold of Beverly Hills magazine recently conducted an interview with KISS frontman Paul Stanley about "time with his family, blowout performances, and rocking the art scene." A couple of exerpts from the chat follow below.
On the 30-shows-in-seven-weeks European tour celebrating KISS' 35th anniversary:
"It's been pretty crazy. You can't beat 55,000 people screaming your name. The demand has been huge and the crowds have been rabid."
On the physical challenge of touring:
"I train like any athlete. There isn't time to find out you haven't trained long enough once you get in the ring, so I'm very dedicated to making sure that not only am I physically and mentally capable of doing the show, but that the fans get at least what they expect if not more. There's a photo of me from a few nights ago jumping four feet in the air with my boots on."
"The truth is there are no football players my age. I'm just thankful that as things wear out they can kind of be tweaked and replaced. [Stanley underwent hip surgery in 2005.] At this point, I feel like I had my 50,000-mile checkup and am good for another 50,000. At this point, I have no competition but myself."
