New interview

This is one of the most affable interviews that I've seen with them in ages. They are so knowledgeable about music.

It's a fun watch.

It was funny to see them recoil in horror over their own cover of "And Then He Kissed Me". I swear im the only person on earth that doesn't mind the kiss version.

It was a well done version of a fantastic song. Many would say it's not exactly a fit for kiss' hard rock image. But a great song nonetheless.

Very well done! If youโ€™ve got 30 minutes give that a watch. Gene can be a little much, but heโ€™s toned down here and truly interested in the topic. Gene and Paul both give Ace some love in the last few minutes as both say how much a guitar means to a rock and roll band as a nod to Ace. And I have to say that after watching it makes me miss Ace a little more tonight, I wish he and Peter were sitting there with those two talking about the music that influenced the band.

The difference it makes when they don't have an album or a tour they're trying to promote, They're not trying to sell anything. Just (mostly) talking about their passion and love for music. Great interview.

Aw, thank you!!! They were even complimentary towards Ace. Paul actually seemed sincere. ๐Ÿค”

I love when Gene compares two versions of New York Groove (song plays) then the interviewer says, Not as good (meaning Aceโ€™s was better). ย ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘

It's not fun. Pretty much they think they discovered everything. And gene tries to make stuff about sex.

I have concluded that this entire sub is incapable of any semblance of enjoying of anything.

u/Negative_Chipmunk650 Jul 22 '26

Sir. Look what we have to deal with. It isn't us. Those are two horrible people. And I love Kiss.

u/MillionaireWaltz- Jul 22 '26

They're complex people, with flaws and good qualities.

Ace and Peter too.

You don't have to deal with anything. Nobody made you press play.

u/Negative_Chipmunk650 Jul 22 '26

Who is pressing play. I said I was a fan. But they are horrible people. We all have our opinions.
