Paul Stanley from Kiss at Norman's Rare Guitars

[1SOULKISS]

Paul Stanley got kicked ass by his son would be a better title ;)

[TheGrupoepidemia]

the music in his blood ...

[mesa401]

Paul Stanley seems like a real good dude.

[busterhams]

His son breaks out the great FREDDY KING @1:47, "Hide Away"

 is the song. Cool little dude :)

[FratiSiciliani2790]

I bet his son can't even believe he's Paul's kid

[gnrcr]

His kid is actually good !

[splitmylip]

if anybody is a guitar expert, please check my sight... nameless guitar

[stoker20]

Paul can pick like a Country Boy and has a Little Richard look going on??????

[80sOldSkool]

Paul Stanley is a LEGEND.

[MrMarketIncome]

Thumbs up if you knew this was... Hide Away. Made Famous by SRV, but... I think it was really a freddie king song. SUPER EASY

[Quontomleeeep]

Amazing first time I've ever seen Paul Stanely look and act like an average Joe .

[JartBansen]

@Quontomleeeep I agree, he looks like a real humble and likeable guy in this vid.

I'm suspecting Gene is the real asshole of the two...

[Quontomleeeep]

@JartBansen Yep , Simmons seems like a smug, greedy, self satisfied creep IMO .

I always had Stanely pegged as gay , got a shock to see he the full catastrophe going on, son, wife domestic life ... and the kid doesn't looked all fucked up either .Good one Paul :-)

[banditopilot]

that would be cool to be Pauls kid and play better. Paul is a rock god though so its ok.

[The8347135]

Evan looks like Jason Biggs

[neuregel]

wow paul with shorter hair

[uptownxgirlx]

i think evan's style is Black Keys-esque :) That would be really cool to hear him playing more blues rock!!!

[LPcustom76]

@uptownxgirlx like this? watch?v=27mK47yxCb8

[walt909]

what is the song he plays at 1:50 ?

[mrtwitchylizard]

@walt909 Hideaway

[lomgboardkook]

nice to see a kid that could have done a full on coattails thing finding his own style.

KISS sucked ass. let's all have an a capella of "beth"

[chicki773]

pauls son is good..so weird to see paul playin a strat...a first.

[EdwardJamesCastSly]

wow the kid can actually play pretty well!

[AceOfHeart2012]

Paul Stanley is one of the coolest cats you could ever meet. I had conversations with him on 2 separate occasions and he's a very decent bloke.

[diego59x]

ADRIAN!!!!!!!!!!!

[xb5jb7]

Shane and Stanley Eisen......Oy Vey !!!......Let's steal more schekels from Vinnie Vincent, Peter Criss, and Ace Frehley. Oy !!!! We Jew Boy thieving Kikes love money as does Stanley Eisen's scumbag partner in the KISS cover band Mr. Hiam Weitz......Oy !!!

[revolutionday1]

*SPOILER ALERT* I LOVE that it was a mid-80's 'Strat!!

[rxc128]

@xb5jb7 You're disgusting!

[BonnardsBluesBand]

can somebody please tell me the opening hours of the store? thanks

[xb5jb7]

lucky little Jew boy kike has his rich Jew Boy Kike Daddy buy him an expensive cool old guitar......lucky little Jew Boy Kike

[AphelionDustwake]

@xb5jb7 Sounds like somebody lived in a poor family with parents who didn't love him enough.

[2E4N]

Thumbs up if you think Paul Stanley looks like the evil guy from the movie The Mask. XP

[Joeylumadip]

watch sergio vallin at normans rare guitar, great guitar player

[CaptNemo100]

Great video! Thanks for posting.

[probrojeffro]

Hey, Paul looks like he's actually a good guitar player. Maybe he can incorporate that skill into some Kiss songs? lol

[probrojeffro]

Paul: manufactured face. 

[revolutionday1]

@probrojeffro So what? He earned it.

[CScalifornia72]

Wow! The kid can really play!!

[neverender888]

Quiet Paul, your kid is ripping on guitar, I want to hear.

[vjPulp]

I never said Vinnie was a great perfomer oder singer or entertainer. Paul beats him there by far. So yeah, Paul is an excellent entertainer, with the combination of it all, but as guitarplayer, I still think that Vinnie is better.

[thozgyz]

What no iceman?

[k3vindesciple]

i wish i was pauls kid

[grazzly1]

Is it just me, or does Paul play like shit compared to his kid? Youngster had the Hideaway lick on lock.

[vjPulp]

@grazzly1 Paul never was a good guitar player. I think that's also the reason why he didn't get along with Vinnie Vincent, who was a excellent player AND had a big ego. Whereas Bruce Kulick JUST was a good player, but very shy and grey as a personality.

[grazzly1]

@vjPulp Wow sorry but I have to respectfully disagree with you. Playing rhythm well is the sign of a good player, any jackoff can wiggle his fingers 100 miles an hour. That's the problem with most players who think they're shit-hot. Watch old footage of him singing while playing while dancing around and never dropping the rhythm. People forget that playing guitar is 99% WORK and 1% widdly-widdly homo shit.

[vjPulp]

@grazzly1 I think, the sign of a good player is both, being able to keep the rhythm AND being able to improvise when doing a solo. Paul isn't good at improvising, as one can see in this video (or in any other where he has an acoustic guitar in his hands - he keeps playing the same 3 blues licks). But hey, he's an absolute pro in entertaining, he's making the best out of his skills, and I love him nevertheless.

[Tonyr67]

@vjPulp

Vinnie a good guitarplayer????

Don't make me laugh man! Vinnie doesn't have soul, feel and heart in his playing.

Just fast bullshit!

And Paul is a great rythmplayer and songwriter as well. That what it is about in Rock and Roll!!!!

[vjPulp]

@Tonyr67 I agree that Vinnie hasn't much heart and soul, but that's not what you really need for Hard Rock and Metal, right? And yes, Paul is an excellent songwriter (but so was Vinnie - he co-wrote most of the Creatures-songs!), but «heart and soul» aren't the words I would use to describe his guitar playing either.

[Tonyr67]

@vjPulp

I don't agree..

Here are some names... Gary Moore, Dave Meniketti, Angus Young, John Norum, Eddie Van Halen, Leslie West! They play with FEEL!

[vjPulp]

@Tonyr67 OK; but they ALL play WAY better than Paul, right?

[Tonyr67]

@vjPulp

That's right! But Paul comes from a stones, the who, zeppeling kinda school. Completely different approach of making music. He is good enough for what he does. He can play guitar, he can sing and he can write. That makes him a great musician and performer!

[Tonyr67]

@vjPulp

BTW, there are numerous of guitarplayers who afre better then all those guys we've just mentioned, but never came out of their cellars...

Paul is one of the biggest rockstars ever and wrote some enormous hits... Vinnie didn't.....

[ThieleM]

They say talent skips a generation...Paul must have had at least one very talented parent

[Mefreudi]

Sheeeeit, Paul is ugly as fuck!!!

[hayabusafmw]

you can see how proud stanley is of his son

[FlipGordon]

all the money in the universe and you go and buy a strat......... Go look into something custom

[MetalElf]

Now I can FINALLY say that Paul has great taste in guitars!!! :)

[matthewodonnellcfc]

You can tell he's  a Jew...

[ravner1976]

Norm... when people play, put a sock in it.

[valdivia562]

bastard, my dad took me to a yard sale

[Tubekid200]

It's Rocky and his son Mclovin

[bitacora1426512]

@Tubekid200 ahahahah lol and i thought he was Michael Cera

[George665511]

@Tubekid200 Mclovin in the house!

[MRNINJA098]

@Tubekid200 hahahahahha

[frankiev1231]

One'' Very Lucky Ass Kid!!!

[justinbieverr]

Norm shut up. He's trying to play



[alwaysopen]

He took his little fat jew kid to get a used guitar. Why the fuck didn't he buy him a truckload of new ones? Was he supposed to feel special because he is at Norman's?

[ZellCendo]

@alwaysopen wel lets be honest they dont make them like they used to, a nice vintage 67 strat cmpared to a modern les paul which would you rather have if this is a real vintage guitar shop then 1 of thse guitars could cost more than a trucklaod of guitars and a truck to put them in, haha

[alwaysopen]

@ZellCendo

If you listen closely they mention it is a RI Strat.

[ZellCendo]

@alwaysopen ahh, didnt catch that bit got lost playing my gutar hah :p

[bgrass11]

Wow, I was once told if you re going to play the guitar, Learn the blues. I did. Jake Rogers Atlanta Ga.

[wizardbpluss]

Hi its a Nice Video saludos Paul and Normans gitarrs I have a cuestion can you seend'me One Gibson guitarra to Monterrey Mexico How much money ? this is a gibson guitarr just like the ace freheley's guitarr Saludos I hope you can answer'me tank so much y saludos compadres kiss and Norman's Guitarr's

[Vampirez41]

What guitar did his son get?



[chooseyourblues]

Paul and Neal Schon go to the same Plastic Surgeon...

[lighteningboy]

I bet Evan can beat up Nick Simmons :)

[006sick]

Wow!! that boy can play the guitar!

[762459]

the next starchild

[HiOctane62]

Gene's son is not a douche bag. He should go with Les Paul's. Fender's suck IMO

[LemonCrushMusic]

@HiOctane62 Yeah, only every big Gibson player has gone through a Fender at some point :)

[HiOctane62]

@LemonCrushMusic Maybe so, but I can't stand Fenders unless its a Tele ;)

[EsKeLeTauruS]

sylvester stallone plays the guitar?nice

[deucy666]

this is one of many kids he probably has!!

[mpraymond]

Evan seems like a real nice balanced kid......and talented!

[wctennisnyc]

dad i want a new guitar....sure son...lets go to norman's...how much?...$4,000 ok no problem hahaha KISS ARMY!!!!

[SgtPepper613]

Evan rocks man I love his playing style

[youman1996]

Oh hey Michael Cera.

[boldero66]

@youman1996 dude i was thinking the exact same thing bahah

[mouloudo]

is that a fullerton era 57 reissue? :)

[rarch1968]

Awesome....imagine if paul stanley was your old man & he took you out guitar shopping!!! Makes me wonder what the price tag on that strat reads....

[MrHideyoursheep]

What happen to Paul's face? It looks really Werid.

[ncg18]

evan just showed paul up so badd

[spacewithace1997]

Gene's son isn't a douch. He is a very nice guy if you knew him. And we all know that the people who put him down are just jealous that they're not Gene Simmon's son.

[62289randymoss]

what is paul playin at the beginning of the video? i know its blues but by who?

[wileypayote]

I taught myself to play stuff like that when I was 11 or 12. Big whoop

[rlholo]

Damn Paul, your kid is pretty good and it seems like a solid young man too. Hats off - it can't be easy to raise a kid being on the road. Congrats to you & your wife.

[vjPulp]

@rlholo It's actually "ex-wife", and she probably raised him alone (just like Shannon Tweed raised Gene's kids alone). But yes, he seems solid, almost shy next to his dad. Must be difficult to grow up as the kid of a Rock Star...

[probrojeffro]

@rlholo Thanks his nanny.

[jesternjeff1]

Evan seem like a really down to earth kinda guy ... very cool !

[dontloseyourhead]

Wow. I never knew Michael Cera was related to Paul Stanley!

[youtellmegod]

Tasty Pickin' Evan. I'm sure you're a proud dad Paul,,, nice clip

[RockJim72]

Nice to see Pauls kid is a blues player - here's an idea, A Father and Son blues album?

[gayskunk]

Paul is one of the sweetest guys in the world, its no wonder that he has a great son that hes proud of. and..... that guy that PLAY! woo!

[mpgsix]

Wow, the kid is really good!

[NikkieRoxxx]

...not to be forgotten: PAUL did chose the name KISS for the band!

[fon267]

Mate that old dude won´t shut up!

[bimskies]

hah im just like his son, i never know what to do with my arms when im standing still

[insideanswer82]

Paul should do a Blues CD with Evan and call it Paul Stanley and Son. I'd buy it in a second and I never buy Cds anymore. I used to own about 300 but it's down to about 75. When I got into my 40s I had heard some stuff enough to last me a lifetime. Any one else my age (48) get that way ? Nice post. Thank you.

[searayus1]

It's great that the new generation coming up has respect for the masters..................no,no not you, Paul. I meant the BLUES masters!..(just kiddin)

[robosvideos]

whats the song at 1:52??

[Aleksi32]

@robosvideos Freddie King - Hideaway, Clapton has also famous version with John mayall.

[Doodlez732]

The beast and the nerd...

[Luukeeeehh]

pauls son = he evel looks a bit shy and is very nice

genes son = DOUCHEEEEEEEEEEEBAAAAGGGGGGGGG

[onceonlyaz]

@Luukeeeehh well like father like son his dads a douchebag

[Luukeeeehh]

@onceonlyaz haha yeah, i love KISS and love gene ( when he's playing ) but Gene personal...bah....

[cciemail]

@Luukeeeehh

ha,ha. yeah, but you'd figure Paul's son would be cool; Gene's son would be an asshole.

[Luukeeeehh]

@cciemail yeah, i saw the family simmons on a show a while ago, and i thought; holycrap...how can you live with people like that?

and look how evan is...just a NORMAL boy!?

[saschavs]

@Luukeeeehh - Probably gonna get a lot of hate comments for this one but yeah. Like father like son I guess?

[SgtPepper613]

@Luukeeeehh That's cause Gene's kid has been in the spotlight his whole life and Paul's hasn't he grew up normal and he's an amazing blues guitar player

[drbalalajka]

@SgtPepper613 "Amazing" isn't the right word but he's fine. He's a better blues guitarist than me but I can find someone who can play better than that, much better, easily. You know, not putting him down or anything but just cause he's Paul Stanley's son doesn't automatically make him "amazing".

[dmanc1]

@Luukeeeehh lol

[chooseyourblues]

@Luukeeeehh

Is that not because is Paul is nice and Gene is a bit of a douche bag?

[Luukeeeehh]

@chooseyourblues lol yeah

[laiholapso]

@Luukeeeehh like their fathers

[flexxman1964]

@Luukeeeehh What? Genes son is a nice kid,.lay off asswipe..!

[deedler5687]

3:16 you can hear paul's son's knuckles crack...........damn lol

[thommytaranto]

Hahaha, Paul's kid plays very similar to Jimi Page

[Jefgg]

That was a really nice video of a huge star with his teenage son. Maybe Evan could jam with Gene Simmons' son Nick. Does Gene's daughter Sophie sing or play music? Ace Frehley has a daughter Monique. Peter Criss has a daughter Jenilee. I have no idea if they play music. Paul Stanley has another son Colin born in 2006 and a daughter Sarah born in 2009. Paul's younger children need a little more time before they are ready to rock the stadiums of the world.

[Jefgg]

@metariane You and many others. Good for you. Did Paul say thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuu when he was finished?

[Warlock27rp]

paul is a really cool guy i met him last year at a radio shack buying a new fuse for a amp. he actually noticed i was wearing a kiss shirt from the night before and approached me asking if i liked the show.

[RokDAWG1]

I REALLY think it sucks that Paul doesn't get the credit he's more than earned for his skills on the six string!

[TadRapidly]

I wonder if dad can afford it?!! LOL

[jbs0317]

paul stanley is the man, heart of gold. and yeah, gene's kid nick seems like such a selfish spoiled whiney little douche compared to paul's kid.

[tedwilson79]

That kid's got chops!! Well played Lil' Stanley...well played!

[darkknight9761]

This is pretty cool. "The Apple Doesn't Fall From The Tree".

[sonyamlb]

Wow! Awsome to see talent continue in the familly. Hey, why not 'Stanley Jewels'? Kepp it up guy's!

[TheBlakem]

Paul seems like a GREAT dad..man Awesome. Evan seems like a great soul as well.

[ThinkReal]

Hey Evan... You are a Les Paul Guy. Don't forget it.

Get rid of the Strat :)

[therockblog]

I know evan! i met him in camp!

[oustud10]

Ive watched this a few times and have yet listened to Paul and Norman while Evan is playing... hahaha

[davidrobinsonmagic]

How cool would that be to walk in a guitar shop and there is Paul Stanley???

[38kari]

Evan Stanley Rules!

[jazer74]

nice store and cool people, really, however, i have been to this store several times, when it was on vanowen street and then later when they moved to ventura blvd, very high prices, if not higher than guitar center.

[DoctorLawyerWhatever]

Ahhh... I got nothin'.

[timesatickin]

that sales guy is drooling..knowing theres a big sale ...

[dtsmichael]

Wow. Gotta say I'm impressed with Paul's playing here, but his son he is great! Nice job Stanley family!

[lolaissorandom]

how old is evan?

[spernoadversa]

His son is fucking good !!

[Ibanezbass2510]

I was recently cleaning out one of my family members warehouse and came across a PEAVEY CLASSIC 200W amp. I dont have any info on this amp.. Any Information would be very helpful.

Thanks Ibanezbass2510

[joyce02]

Paul Stanley...a big part of my life.

His son, what a cool kid, and awesome player....paul should be as proud as f*ck!.

[ledder68]

Kid's good.

[garciare1]

I have never heard Paul play like this. Too bad, he's been hiding all this behind the make-up.

[pattysky7]

THE NEXT GENERATION

[Ibanezbass2510]

I think evan and paul should do some more songs!!!!!!.

[jayscott49]

The whole guitar store thing is so weird- you get a guy like Paul Stanley who has played for millions in huge stadiums- and yet you can see he's a little nervous playing in the guitar store.

[Earnhardt12345]

Let see.. 39K views.. I think KISS is still going strong!

[BlueOnionGroup]

what song at the begining?

[salamonetalton]

paul stanley looks like a cross between steven pearcy of ratt and sylvester stallone!

[vidmystery]

This is so awesome.

[TheRockhead141]

Hey,

thanks for the answer. Killer Song, I have to learn it!

[Metamorfozzo]

PAUL rocks and the fact that he spends time with his son just tought me a great lesson, I need to go back to my doughter been in the net to damm long, great lesson from such a great ROCK HERO

[robdobbler]

@Metamorfozzo Go to her, she needs you.

[Metamorfozzo]

@robdobbler  ALWAYS ROCK ON BRO

[TheRockhead141]

Hey, great video!

The Song that Evan plays is "Hideaway" from the Bluesbreakers with Eric Clapton

- BEANO Album from 1966!

[essguitarman]

@TheRockhead141

They actually covered the song, it's a Freddie King song. What I was playing was closer to the Freddie version. But yeah, it's hideaway- killer song!

[frehleyscomic]

coolio

[Jonaaliyah]

Paul should be proud, and thank God one of these guys really did pass the torch, this kid's going to be giving us, and our children great music for years to come... I hope!

[MrSpearslover]

Paul you're an ultimate rock star to me and seem to be like a really good person. I've been looking up to you ever since I was 15. Now I'm 29.

[Baronsfsdf]

Look at your self be a man with Asian lady *lushfmlk.info*

[lorreke2]

What song is that?
