So I headed out during lunch to pick up Paul's new masterpiece. Best Buy was completely SOLD OUT! They told me they sold their entire stock the first day of release but had more shipping in to meet the demand. I was walking away when another guy walked up and asked the employee that was helping me the same question!
I was bummed out that I didn't get my copy yet BUT I'm damn glad to see that Paul's CD is in high demand!
GO STARCHILD GO! Let's see a PLATINUM CD!
Will soon be on my way to the SOLD OUT KISS Movie tonight at our local theater! It's KISS SEASON BABY! I can smell it in the air!!
paul stanley live to win tour

Dear paul just wondering if your solo live to win tour maybe ever going to come downunder? we here at oz would love to see tour dates, and i am sure i speak for every fan out there in our great nation.. or maybe kiss could come back for a tour like you did in japan i really hope this would become reality rather than wishfull thinking. You and every member of KISS throughout kisstory have been a huge influence for myself,and fans alike through hard times and good times kiss will allways be there.
As a musician myself your music has given me the strength to pursue my dreams.. i geuss what i am really saying is thankyou
for everything KISS has ever done........... and PAUL KEEP ON ROCKING....
Don't know if he'll get this but I was extremely lucky enough to talk to Paul when they were taping the call-in portion of rockline a couple of weeks ago and I was the 1st call in. I asked him how it was recording the new solo album as oppossed to the studio limits of the late 70s. If anyone heard it I was the "Frank from South Philadelphia, PA" you heard and man was that a thrill. While they had me on the line holding waiting to ask my question I was amazed that after 26 years I finally got to talk to him. May sound silly to some people but it was a thrill of a lifetime and I'm going to see him in Philly next monday at our Theatre of Living Arts (which I mentioned on the show as well).
As usual he was a class act and I love and respect the guy and wanna thank you Paul for so many good times - thanks! The pic is from 1979 when I got Dynasty (my 1st album) for xmas trying to form some words to I Was Made For Loving You. Didn't matter if I didn't know the lyrics then, the spirit was there and still is - thanks man for everything!
Paul.. your new album is awesome! I went out to Circuit City and bought the only copy they had (wassup wit dat?). But, especially after seeing the set list for Opening Night of the tour, I beseech you AGAIN.. please come to Denver.. we have many beautiful venues where your skills and showmanship will not only be appreciated but wildly applauded.. it is NOT to late to add a date... pleeeessseeee from a lifelong KISS Armyite!
Hey There Paul,
I wanted to let you know that I finally got to listen to your Live To Win CD and it is so AWESOME and the songs really have touched my heart and soul!! May you keep Rockin' on your Tour with all of your KISS Fans everywhere and your Band as well, take care Paul. I am also so very proud to be a KISS Fan and a part of the KISS Army now and Forever!
Always and Devoted,
Shirley Holm From MN
I will try to keep this as short as possible but still tell you exactly what your show meant to me last night in Atlanta. My sister and I bought our tickets in September and were going to drive over from North Alabama to see the show, but my sister suddenly canceled because of our mother having terminal cancer and having a bad day. My sister unselfishly gave me her ticket and I was able to get my husband to go with me. I can't ever love her or thank her enough for doing that for me.
In the next few weeks, my mother will be moving in with me permanently and all my time will be spent trying to make her last days as easy and happy for her as possible. I know we are no different from anyone else, everyone loses loved ones and we aren't any different, however, the very week that my Mom plans to move into my home is the year anniversary (Nov. 4, which is also my sister's birthday) of the loss of our father to cancer as well. So, I'm sure you can see how hard this is for us to accept and deal with. The emotions are overwhelming sometimes.
Now, I'll get to the point. Paul, thanks to you and my sister, I was able to get away from home and relax a bit, enjoy time away and see the most amazing show I've ever been to! I enjoyed hearing and watching you play and I made myself clear my mind so that I could have that special time and it not be clouded with worry about what our family is facing on the road ahead.Thank you so much Paul, for a dynamite show and for everything you've given us fans through all the years and all that you are still giving to us...and for making me forget for a couple of hours. Come back to Atlanta the next time too!
I have to say that the atlanta show lived to all I had hoped!!! Paul's voice was incendiary throughout the entire show, the band was very tight, especially the drummer who was a madman, reminescent of eric singer's playing and they looked like they were having the time of their lives! What the night extra special for me is that Paul played 4 songs from his first solo album! The first Kiss album I ever owned was his solo album--it was 1979 and I was 10. I have waited 26 years to hear him do these songs live. The new tracks from Live to Win sounded wonderful and I cant wait to pick it up on Tuesday. The Tabernacle wasnt sold out which surprised me, and the accoustics were amazing. I was told by a fan that the other shows were sold out, and rightfully so. It is so evident that Paul's pipes are among the finest in rock and roll! It was good to see Gene and Doc show up to lend support as well--it really says a ton! I only wish more picks were given out. For anyone that can make it to a show, i highly recommend it and i hope that Paul will add more dates. Paul seemed to enjoy being back on stage, and in his true element. This will be one show I will truly remember...This makes my 11th time I have seen Kiss, but the Atlanta show will now rank up there as one of my favorites!!!
Bloody brilliant I'd have to say. I'm an Australian KISS fan myself and I've listened to the tracks on the online listening party here on the site and I was quite frankly amazed at the musical growth from Paul. From strength to strength he goes. I just wish I could get to the USA to see him on tour.
I am dying to see you in Orlando FL!! I have never been to a KISS concert before, but I have been a huge fan of yours!! I am a songwriter and a very-rusty artist. haha!
I have been in the KISS Army for many years, I'm 37.
I cannot wait to see you perform in Orlando, on Oct 24th! I will be there, enjoying every minute of you!!
Thank you for your music and staying in the music business, for your fans!
I highly respect you, Paul!
Take care of yourself! Congrats on your new little boy!!
Hello my name is Crystal * waves hi* How are you I hope all is well with you and your family, Congrats on your new blessing Colin! I just writing you to say thank you for all you have done thourgh your music and your art believe it or not you reopened a new art talent for me, I use to draw and such but then stoped doing so because I thought I wasn't good at all, well when I started seeing your art work some way some how it inspired me to get back to drawing I'm not the best drawer out there but practice makes perfect right? I'm also thinking about taking up painting I really love abstract so I thought why not try to do that you know?
I also want to say yours and KISS's music has really helped me thourgh alot and recently I heard your song Live To Win and it totally spooke to me, it was like you wrote/sang a song just for me I have a hard time at school with the other kids and such and I was tired of being pushed around and everything and Live to WIn gave me the courge and streangth to go hey I'm not taking this anymore and also one of your quotes I can't remember where I heard it goes kind of like this it doesn't matter what people think of you what matters is whats in the heart that quote is helping me with school and most recently the band I just joined which I'm the lead singer I'm a bet shy cause I always worry about what people think mostly because of the past but I always use that quote to keep me going so I just wanted to write you and say thank you very much. I can't wait to get the new album and I hope one day to see you or KISS at that matter in concert until then I can just listent o your cds and watch videos. You guys totaly rock speicaly you Paul you really have helped me take a big step in life. God bless you always and forever and keep on rocking.
