Paul Stanley admits that his first guitar fell short of his dreams, to the extent that he ignored it for months. The future Kiss star was initially inspired by Eddie Cochran, whose work he preferred to that of Elvis Presley. “There was something about him that was rogue and seemed ruthless – a great attitude,” Stanley tells Gibson TV, citing Cochran’s songs “Summertime Blues” and “C’mon Everybody.” “So that was really the start of my introduction to guitar, although I grew up in a family with a lot of folk music – bluegrass and opera and classical music and all.” READ MORE: Kiss Albums Ranked ...

Dee Snider, the Twisted Sisters’ frontman, is being accused of transphobia after agreeing with Paul Stanley‘s tweet about trans kids. Stanley, who is the lead singer of KISS, posted a statement on Twitter earlier this month saying, “There is a BIG difference between teaching acceptance and normalizing and even encouraging participation in a lifestyle that confuses young children into questioning their sexual identification as though some sort of game and then parents in some cases allow it.” His statement caused a divide among his fans, with some calling out his use of makeup and high heels ...
