  • I just watched a video of Paul & Gene from 1985. In the video, Paul's calls out Gene for being a story teller about the children he has claimed to have fathered. "People like to brag whether it's true or not...". It starts at 6:45. You can find it on You Tube under the title, "KISS - Asylum promo / Mark St. John etc [ UK television 85 ]".

    It's interesting that this is an ongoing annoyance for Paul over Gene's baby claims.

    Thank you for posting!

    Hope all is well.

    xoxo

    The Clarences

  • this is absolutely hilarious. gene hates it when his aurora is challenged in anyway

  • I love these guys!

    Fantastic musicians, changed the way of performing on stage.

    But when giving interviews say nothing to pay!

    Only "we love the fans, we live for the fans, the fans are everything to us, we rely on fans' ...

  • Actually Kiss was never really swindled other than bad investments that went belly up. However what most people don't understand is, the bigger a band gets the more it costs to operate financially. As the bands popularity starts dropping suddenly that payroll that supports 50-200 people...managers, PR, merchandising, crew, massive stage productions among other things gets infinitely smaller. Bands have a choice at that point, break up or keep fighting. Kiss the band, the business was barely...

  • @TheTN24 breaking even by the Revenge tour. Gene and Paul...while more or less well off financially had avoided actually dipping into their own pockets to support the band. By the reunion tour they had a choice. Keep the band going out of their own pockets in which they would have gone broke or put the makeup back on. Gene and Paul have reaped the rewards many times over, both are more financially sound now that they were at the high point of Kiss in the 70's. Always remember, it's a business.

  • By the way, let's clear the air on something. KISS nearly broke up during the Revenge tour. Paul and Gene were NOT talking, NOT getting along. What you all need to understand is that they are both fueled by their capitalist egos. But at least Paul is willing to actually live the spirit of rock and roll to fuel that ego. Gene, on the other hand is nothing more than a snake oil salesman.

  • during the revenge era kiss was so humble and when kiss put the makeup back and started making real money gene became this so called smart business man gene is so full of shit. but im still a kiss fan lol

  • Read my comment properly, you will clearly see I was reffering to the reunion tour, NOT the 1970,s where they ALL contributed to make the band huge.

  • Gene is husge jerk, Ive met him twice, Paul can be arrogant but is usually a nice guy, but I have to say Gene is the driving force behind it all, he is the one who revived all their fortunes in the 90,s with the reunion tour, he made Ace and Peter very rich again after they blew their first fortune, sure hes an ass, but he knows how to milk a product and push it for all its worth, and personally I like Genes music. Paul would be nowhere near as rich without Gene, KISS ROCKS!!

  • @winter9020 Bs Paul and Ace made kis big and Peter with his hit beth.

  • @winter9020 You need to do your homework. It wasn't that they blew their fortune a long time ago. KISS had a manager from the early 80's to early 90's who swindled them out of millions of dollars. You never hear them talk about it because they are the masters of bullshit. But their former manager was quite the con-artist. Probably taught Bernie Madoff everrything he knows.

  • @romeokid69 are you sure? do you mean Bill Aucoin? if you read CK LENDTS book KISS and SELL, you will find it very interesting that they struggled for money for a long time, evan after the 70,s, he handled a lot of their budget/finances, the KISS machine got so big it started to eat itself, (running costs) Ive been a fan for 27 years and consider myself pretty educated on them, but I will research what you stated, interesting, and yes, they are masters of bullshit, still love em but!!

  • @winter9020 Again, it's never mentioned by Paul or Gene, but they were SWINDLED big time. Some of that book is bullshit. Aucoin was gone by 81 and the only affairs he managed were anything HE had to do with the band. He did not handle anything to do with KISS themselves, but they always referred to him as part of the KISS family. Most of what you hear about KISS is bullshit. I LOVE the music and always will, but that is where my love for them ends.

  • Paul's tail-end speech @ 1:39 -- the "any idiot" remark he makes towards Gene Simmons-- the look on Gene's face, almost as if he's been physically hit! And, when Gene chastises him, Paul's body language ; the folded arms, the whole "I'm not letting ANYTHING you say into my mind/psyche/wortld, b/c u are totally a big bag of hot, SOULESS, indescriminate, empty, bragging air" KILLS ME! LOL... PRICELESS! I LOVE Paul..... a more eloquent rocker doesn't exist!

  • Paul is hilarious here - puts Gene in his place.

  • I like this clip. Paul is exactly right...the "I've had a million women" is not interesting at all. You take a good club band and those guys are getting women left and right. Gene come up with something better than that - we've heard it a million times from you.

  • Paul is a class act. Gene simmons is an shrewd, insecure, rude, vile man.

    By the way Gene... Horrible wig.

  • @StoneFoxDemon what the fuck

  • gene looks so cute

  • pauls face is so purtyyy

  • i think gene was trying to be light hearted and paul wasn't in the mood

  • ladies and gentlemen, that is why paul is the coolest member of the band

  • owned 2:03

  • Comment removed

  • Gene is an ass... Paul is KISS... Gene needs to go away...

  • I thought Paul was going to start crying.

    Gene gets owned in every interview they do as a band.

  • Peter said in an interview six years ago that Gene and Paul don't speak and have no relationship whatsoever outside of the business end of things. I definitely see that here.

  • I love 'em both!! omg they are so hot 'n ' sexy :D

    Kiss is awsome, i just dont understand the people who hates them, but thats their problem :D

    This interview rocks <3

  • Wow...they still manage to ROCK.

    X)

  • God it's awesome to see them in this Revenge/Carnival era without makeup and the leather, not to sound gay but they looked badass, especially Gene who had looked liked a faggot for 7 years. And Paul was the biggest homo in town in the 80's, looks cool here though. (I have nothing against gays, but when you looked like they did in the 80's, what the hell are you supposed to say lol)

  • A couple of fags on the verge of a lovers' spat. lol

  • they fucking hate eachother :O!

  • Work with someone for 20+ years (which is wat it was getting to at hits point) and see if you get along every hour of every day.

    Paul was mad at Gene. Gene took offense to Paul's words.  But guess whjat...they obviously got over it. Chill out.

  • im going to tell you guys once, why waste your time posting hate comments and taking hits at paul and gene. if you dont like Kiss then dont click on a video of a Kiss interview. dumbasses

  • My question is who in their right mind would want to make a baby with that fat, disgusting slob? I understand the money and fame part...but with THAT pile of shit? C'mon!

  • Hilarious!

  • Too fucking funny...I love it!

    Things werent going too well for them at this point, and the tension is starting to show.

  • ROFL, that was fucking hilarious. It was so...passive-aggressively wonderful, like Paul is the hot wife in a sitcom who always comes out on top of her idiot-slob husband (Gene). Holy fuck, this is funny! XPP

  • Paul should have told him to KISS his ass and get outta his face.I would have.Hell he didn't say anything to cause him to act that way.

  • Whats wrong with Gene making himself

    a legend in Rock N Roll. Come on people

    there not legends cause of the way they play there instruments.. It's SHOWbusiness!!

  • Think of someone you have known for 35 years. Now imagine spending virtually every day with them, working with them, on the road with them. Eventually you are going to get on each others nerves. This is nothing to make a big deal about. You annoy the ones you love. It doesn't mean you hate each other. I think they tolerate each other some days, and enjoy working together other days. As fans, we are lucky to have them around through so many trends and changes within the music industry.

  • Paul Stanely rules and is good at music

    Gene is a tosser with a hilariously small penis

  • Mako sharks WILL eat ya face orf, Gene baby.

  • I'll never buy a single thing that would put a dime in Gene Simmons pocket...what a lame loser.

  • Suddenly I have new found respect for Paul! God did Gene look pissed! It would be great if in every interview everyone in the band, including Thayer, were allowed to speak except Gene.

  • Not only completely devoid of talent, but utterly stupid.

    A couple of total assholes. Would anyone with a brain not know that Gene Simmons is all about? Kiss? OMG. A relic of old commercial trash.

    Re Lefsetz; He says some interesting things from time to time but he wanks on and on. He loves to kiss ass with his own (very well-known) assholes like Bruce Allen, and of course, his "buddy", Jake Gold, who is despised byeveryone in the business in Canada, who has had anything to do with him

  • Paul 1 Gene 0

    lol

  • Okay... so HOW amazing is it that these guys stayed together for more than 33 releases when I can't understand how anyone can stand Gene for :33 seconds!??!!! It's a wonder that any bands last with personalities like this rampant in the music biz...

  • people this was 15 years ago.

  • Gene-gawd he is an insufferable prick. boring narcissistic and delusional.

  • Adios Gene. Thanks for nothing. I'll make sure to tell all of my friends not to buy anything from your lame label.

  • Haha he's so pathetic it's hilarious. "A lady asked me if I could give her a baby", yeah, me too, old fart, me too. Talk about being retarded.

  • Gene, you are a self-absorbed turd.

  • Comment removed

  • If it wasn't for Paul, KISS would have died around 1985. I can understand why he'd get pissed off with Gene's attitude... Paul put way more work into KISS than Gene EVER did. Paul is the king of the KISS castle and every fan knows it.

  • I'll second that notion. But Gene's attitude of throwing everything against the wall and seeing if it sticks has made them both a lot of money, too, even if Paul doesn't always agree. I do belive there truly is a balance of power in the KISS organization, neither Gene nor Paul has total control. Which obviously is a good thing.

  • Good point about Gene and the balance. I totally agree!

  • @Boogeyman777 exactly man, he keeps the energy always

  • @Boogeyman777 Paul and Ace are most important to me.

  • @Boogeyman777 Gene is the bitch Ace is the Jester and Peter is the prince or something like that :D

  • @Atreyufolife Ace is definitely the Jester!

  • Paul keeps back peddling from Gene's complete "rock n' roll" irreverence. Gene doesn't kiss ass or give a fuck about anything. Lefsetz picked a fight and was brutal against Gene. What does he expect? Cowardice?

  • I hope Gene, at some point, calls Paul and says "Hey man, I'm sorry." It takes a bigger man to do that than to stand in front of all the people that have existed, do exist, and will exist, combined - with or without makeup and a guitar. The value of a person doesn't come from playing, let alone paying.  Come on, Gene!

  • So inhuman it's laughable: didn't this sort of shit die out with Genghis Khan?

  • Gene is so control freak... I mean the guys were not in their early days when that was filmed... I never loved KISS that much, anyways­. Not a fan of makeup on guys...

  • This is like bringing up the fact that Ike beat Tina!

    Or Chris Brown beat on Rihanna.

    Old News.

    They are business men, not bum buddy's.

    ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ!

  • That clip is OLD NEWS!

    Every KISS fan knows Paul and Gene are business partners, not best friends.

    It isn't High School - it's the music business.

    The two of them disliked one another since they first met.

    Two ego's collide. Big deal.

  • apparently a big enough deal for you to come on here and tell everybody it's not a big deal....lol

  • Actually, no its not. Weirdo.

  • It's sad to see a guy that is past his prime, a has-been, that's trying to hang on.

  • Gene is such a moron.

  • Such an Oaf.

  • According to Paul, Gene and him have only fight like five times or so in 38 years.

  • You tell it/him Paul!!

    KISS is more than just Gene whether he likes it or not.

  • Biggest child on the planet, "Gene"

  • Ahahahaha that was funny as hell. Good job Paul, he shut that egomaniac and his make believe orgies up for once!

  • Cool !

  • Don't listen to this idiot, Paul should have retorted....Gene you suck, you always have you egomaniac. Oh yeah, your hair sux, along with your attitude...your greed f'ed up Kiss and you WERE the weakest musician, although a good song writer and obviously the best BUSINESSman of the band.

  • Notice how effeminate Paul is when he ignores Gene getting in his face and says "go on"? I think by then he had had it with Gene ramming his macho man persona down his throat, figuratively speaking, of course.

  • Now THAT was funny. It looked staged at first but then Paul wasn't laughing at all.

  • It looks like Paul matured and Gene still wants to brag about having sex with many women. At this time they were probably in their early 40s and they are too old for this crap. I love Kiss, but Gene Simmons has turned into Al Goldstein right before our eyes.

  • Agreed. Truly embarrassing. No wonder his kids cringe.

  • no offence to Paul but Gene had every right to say that to him. this does'nt mean they hate eachother. why do you people like to assume that shit. you kids just want a drama filled scoop on famous people. those two are like brothers. nobody wants to see their brother every single day but that does'nt mean they're not friends just because they're not attatched to eachothers hip 24/7

  • looks like there was an argument way before they got on camera,Paul seems angry with the folded arms and doesnt even look at Geno.

  • sorry, my mistake I know theyŕe not married, but after having seen family jewels A LOT she felt like his wife so I forgot! I still think the same but change the word wife to "living together with for a lifetime"

  • I've been dying to see this, and now that I have, no big deal. Paul had some valid, heartfelt things to say, and Gene took it personal, it happens. Pretty mild stuff actually.

  • lol if you think thats bad imagine the stuff they argue over now

  • At last!! Paul was my biggest idol of Kizz from 1974 and on. He is always polite and give the other members in the band respect. But on this video - he finally bashes on Gene. And yes - I do believe Gene is a childish man who betrays his wife and actually the worst musician of them all.

  • What wife..??? hes not married...

  • shut up. he respects and loves shannon. he's a very sweet man. you prolly never got the chance to meet him

  • Kiss was my biggest idols when I was 10 back in 1976 and I have owned about 15 records with them. Still I think Gene is an immature and selfish man and that Shannon deserves better.

    Paul just wants to talk about the women and Gene keeps blabbering about him being attractive for almost any woman walking the earth, he's so pathetic!

  • Apparantly Shannon thinks Gene is great, or she would have left him already.

  • f**k that came out wrong, of course I meant that Paul just wanted to talk about the music and the fans (not women, itś Gene who does).

  • Love Paul, I love Gene too, sure they tour and have known eachother for years. They're bound to get on eachothers nerves and fight.

    This just shows how gullable people could be by believeing things like this would never be said.

    WELCOME TO REALITY lol

  • Wow, yeah, this video NEEDS to be seen... at least bu those that think Gene is bringing the 'brand' down.

    Paul coming to the moral rescue.. rescuing the character and integrity of KISS.. this is an important piece of footage.

    Thank you

  • Paul is all about making KISS look good.. while Gene is all about making Gene look good.

    Honestly, it's disgusting

  • if you got it, flaunt it. Gene, Paul, and KISS all together look good

  • Yeah Gene is obnoxious and predictable (predictably obnoxious), and I can totally see why he probably doesn't have many real-life friends.... his "A baby" response [@ 1:07] is cute (childlike actually).

  • didn't know that, thanks

  • I just can't get enough of paul's eyebrows!

  • Hey hardcore KISS fans, is Gene being for real?

    I would think that Gene could hold in his criticism for just a few more minutes until the cameras are off.

    His disdain for Paul shinning through surprises me.

  • yeah genes being for real. im probably the biggest kiss fan around and gene and paul really dont get along. its well known

  • Oh shit!!! Paul is the man!!! That's priceless.

  • haha. its funny how pissed they look. you can tell they just got in a fight before this interview. I've always known they put up a fake front for fans during interviews but this just prooves it. "will you guit fuckn cuttn me off. I dont go for that shit" classis dickhead/wannabe hard ass Gene. Gene was even a fuckn asshole when i payed 1000 dollars to meet him on the rock the nation tour.

  • I'm a big fan of both Gene and Paul.

    Paul is acting like a bitch in this clip.

    You don't put your brother-in-arms down like that on camera.

  • they both rock but gene seems to be the "diplomat" here and paul is obviously pissed about something before the cameras started rolling,dont know the story though,god bless em'!

  • What I find intruiging is the fact that Gene is wearing a crucifix. I was under the impression that he was Jewish. Did he convert at some point or is he just wearing it for the sake of wearing it?

  • Good job Paul!! Gene is so full of himself that when he takes a shit, it comes out with black and white make-up.

  • gene isnt getting attention enough and had to go down on paul...every kiss fan knows gene is the biggest attention wh*re in kiss

  • Gene is so paranoid! I always wondered if paul always went along with gene! Not for the sake of right or wrong but because jews stick together! Its nice to see a conscience!

  • I can't believe the comments you guys are making. Like or Love Kiss...being Jewish is not the fuckin point. Jesus was a jew. I amnot a jew if that's what you're thinking, however, I would defend them. They're no different than me or you. I'm pretty sure the war is over and Hitler killed himself. So all you racist american fucks, shut your mouths and comment on the best best in the world, not their fuckin race. Bunch of rednecks. Love live KISS, and mankind bitches.

  • Call 'em what you will, they got off the sofa and made their dreams come true. That said, EVERYBODY has personality "flaws" and when you're in the spotlight, they're magnified. But why does being Jewish come into play? They love their kids like everyone else. Try to create an idea that goes global for 30+ years---it ain't easy. They'll be remembered...for many reasons.

  • lol, Paul rules. way to call Gene on being an "idiot":-P

  • The homo and the jew!

    hahah fuck that fat jew gene cocksucker !

  • The homo and the jew!

  • they're BOTH Jewish, dumbass.

  • Gene is more stereotypical Jew. Greedy fuck.

  • Paul is the one with his head on his shoulders and Gene is the one with his dick on his shoulders.

  • which guy is paul

  • You don't know? He's on the left side of the screen.

  • the singer, on the left.

  • ooooooooooo!! gene is sooo mean!!!! Paul didn't diserve that one! i would have just slapped gene if i were paul, 'cause he diserved it!!

  • can't say I blame Paul, must be boring to hear the same shit come out of Gene's mouth for over 30 years.

  • these two are like an old married couple that have spent far too much time together. fascinating to watch though.

  • funny

  • paul carrega esse  merda a anos o cara é um pessimo baixista, péssimo cantor enfim é um merda mesmo

  • Brasil é foda, eles copiaram secos e molhados uhauhauha pelo menos é ROCK'N'ROCK!!! hehe

  • 65000 no minimo e 200000 no show mais lotado. E o idiota ainda faz Rock in Rio Lisboa. Pqp!

  • a coisa mais selvagem foi vir pro Brasil?

    qdo esse cara voltar aqui, vamos soltá-lo peladão na selva amazônica! isso sim vai ser selvagem...

  • Brazil é o que há!

    Hehe.

  • Brazil! /,,/

  • Paul is clearly sick of gene's lies lol.

  • They look so weird

  • LOL, well done Paul! I knew they there has to be some tension some times between them! That was awesome!

  • Paul's just telling the truth.

  • why do Paul's eyebrows go halfway down the side of his face?

  • Gene's a goof.

    Paul looks like Britney Spears in this clip

  • Paul 1,000,000 > Gene

  • gene's real name is Chaim Witz

  • Paul was clearly taunting Gene.

    Funny...

  • So how is David Duke doing? Idiot!

  • I think its just a joke

  • GENE IS GREEDY...YOU KNOW WHY

  • Paul was being a dick, not Gene.

  • I agree.

    I like Paul(and Gene) alot. But.. Paul was a dick here.

  • Paul was a dick,look at the shit that is coming out of Genes Mouth!Paul you are god!See you Downunder

  • Actually Paul is a born again christian.

  • isn't paul jewish?

  • Ummm... yeah, so is Gene - don't know if either go to temple or anything... but what does that have to do with anything?

  • "Ummm... yeah, so is Gene - don't know if either go to temple or anything... but what does that have to do with anything? "

    nothing, really. i was simply responding to a comment which said paul is a born again christian.

  • why? cause hes sick of hearing the same shit from gene everytime they gotta do an interview?

  • I actually agree :P

  • I expected more violence! >.<

  • booooring

  • paul and micheal jackson are starting to look the same.

  • I noticed that too.

  • GENES'S SUCH A DICK

  • Paul is such a poof. Gene is just horrible and disgusting. Lame, very lame. The Poof and the Wigged bastard.

  • Paul Stanley has had SO much bad plastic surgery.

  • yeah, where's the rest of it ? this is comedy gold !

  • Raccoon wig wearing bastard? Looks like this link made it to TTS already.

  • someone must have the rest of this interview somewhere

  • Gene is such a raccoon wig wearing bastard. Why do good things happen to such lame people?

  • It keeps quitting at 1:38. What the hell?

  • works fine for me
