Never having been into KISS myself, I never realized until now that Paul Stanley's voice must have been the inspiration for the voice of Dr. Rockso, the Rock'n'Roll Clown.

I close my eyes, and all I hear is Mike Tyson

How you doin' .... people?

Works best at 1.25x-1.5 speed.

Damn, that's a lot of picks. I counted 32 in one shot. Given the random "farewell" tour setlist as a yardstick that's more than one pick a song.

I just saw Ace Frehley in concert and he was good for anywhere between 6-10 picks a song.

Bugbread: Yeah, I always associated him more with David Lee Roth.

I'm impressed. I can't spell "millennium" without a spell checker.

Edited to add: Holy crap, this goes on for 22 minutes?

I went to a KISS show in Winnipeg back when they did their first back-in-makeup tour in the 90s. We had just gone through a pretty significant spring flood (a not-unusual occurrence in Southern Manitoba). This, to the best of my recollection, is the verbatim pronouncement Paul made to the assembled crowd in his shrieking falsetto:

"HELLO WINNIPEG!!!! I HEARD YOU GOT A WHOLE LOTTA WATER UP IN HERE!!!! WELL TONIGHT!! WE GONNA!!! ROCK THAT WATER AWAY!!!!!!"

(note: water was not rocked away. millions in flood damage resulted.)

He looks like Fran Drescher ... or Linda Richman.

His clothes and singing are clearly Roth, but his speaking voice isn't.

Kiss was not good, and Paul Stanley was the worst thing about Kiss. This is like the too extroverted aunt trying to rally support for an inane game at family christmas.

A sizeable percentage every audience in that clip consisted of "too extroverted aunts". Paul Stanley spoke directly to the heart of each and every one them.

Yeah? I always thought the Kiss Army was mostly male. And Condoleeza Rice.

Male aunts maybe...
