STERNENKIND STANLEY HAT DIE 70 ERREICHT
- Jan 22, 2022
Was Stanley und sein musikalischer Partner Gene Simmons mit Kiss einst in die Welt setzten und was die beiden daraus machten, ist in der Rock-Historie beispiellos. Kiss waren nie die Band für die Debattierrunde von Musikprofessoren. Ihre Songs waren meist Pop-affine Quickies für die Party, hatten einen immensen Unterhaltungswert und wurden nicht selten zu Gassenhauern. Stanleys Songwritertalent hatte am Erfolg von Kiss einen wesentlichen Anteil.
Outwardly ageless in costume and mask, Kiss guitarist and singer Paul Stanley will turn 70 on January 20. Even a "star child" is subject to the earthly laws of nature. At concerts, the musician has to pay tribute to his age, at least vocally. Also, the hip wobblers no longer look quite so peppy.
What Stanley and his musical partner Gene Simmons once brought into the world with Kiss and what the two made of it is unprecedented in Rock history. Kiss was never the band for music professors' debates. Their songs were mostly Pop-affine quickies for the Rock party, had immense entertainment value and not infrequently became hits. Stanley's songwriting talent played a major role in Kiss' success.
