5 stars romantic starchild
paul was a sex god. the macho man comes full circle. this kiss solo album is underrated. some say it's cheesy, pop and bubblegum but so what? this is paul stanley. some parts sound like bread others sound like zep with a romantic flavor. eh is a better rock voice then gene and his demon schitck. romantic songs like hold me, touch me, and such may sound like an 80's power ballad but this think of this album as the templete for the 80's power ballad craze. feel the love.

5 stars Paul Stanley's Solo CD Clearly is the Best of the Four
Paul Stanley's solo CD clearly is the best of the four. When Paul Stanley wrote and recorded these songs, he did so in a way that was natural for him. The songs don't sound forced at all. Paul Stanley is the one who made KISS the great band it was.

5 stars The Real Talent Behind The Band
What can you say about Paul Stanley? He may be the best front man in the history of Rock. This is by far the best of the 4 solo albums. Every song is great, well written, well sung and well played. Paul never gets the credit he deserves, but juts take one listen to this disc and you will realize that Paul Stanley IS KISS (musically speaking). This fan's fav's being Tonight You Belong To Me, Ain't Quite Right, Hold Me Touch Me, Love in Chains and Goodbye. Paul Stanley is the king of Rock.Period. The flag flies highest for the King my friends. Peace.

Paul Stanley's solo album is great but it's my fourth favorite album of the KISS solos. The only song that I love in here would be Tonight You Belong to Me, because of the riff at 1:11. The Star that was made for lovin' you, Paul Stanley.

Gene Simmons CD (1978) Remastered

Paul Stanley album

$6.55

Remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sterling Sound, New York, New York). Gene Simmons' 1978 Kiss solo album turned out to be the most surprising of the bunch. Primarily known as the author of Kiss's heaviest songs, Simmons had always been an avid Beatles fan. His album shows the influence of Fab Four, and also includes songs that feature orchestras and reflect the then-thriving disco scene. The album is also notable because it benefits from the contributions of many '70s rock stars, like Aerosmith's Joe Perry, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielson, Cher, Bob Seger, Donna Summer, Helen Reddy, and the Doobie Brothers' Jeff "Skunk" Baxter. Granted, some of the tracks are reminiscent of Simmons' thunder rock (such as "Radioactive" and "See You in Your Dreams"), but the majority of the tracks are more musically unpredictable. "See You Tonite," "Always Near You/Nowhere to Hide," "Man of 1,000 Faces," and "Mr. Make Believe" recall John, Paul, George, and Ringo, while "Burning Up With Fever," "Living in Sin," and "True Confessions" are flavored by dance floor sounds. The album-closing cover of the Disney classic "When You Wish Upon a Star" is not to be missed. Recorded at the Manor, Oxford, England; Cherokee Studios, Los Angeles, California; Blue Rock Studio, New York, New York. Includes liner notes by Robert V. Conte. Personnel: Gene Simmons (vocals, acoustic & electric guitar, bass); Eric Troyer (vocals, ...

Ace Frehley CD (1978) Remastered

Paul Stanley CD music

$6.49

Ace Frehley's 1978 Kiss solo album is often rightfully considered the best of the bunch. Like Paul Stanley's album, it follows in the expected heavy Kiss style, but Frehley had something to prove with his album. Ace was just gaining confidence in his songwriting and singing at the time, so it served as a much-needed showcase to prove that he was as integral to Kiss as the band's main songwriters, Stanley and Gene Simmons. Ace's album was the only one of the four to spawn a true hit single, the funky rocker "New York Groove," while the rest of the album is a consistent set of guitar-fueled heavy rock. Lyrically, several of the songs deal with alcohol and drug abuse ("Snowblind," "Ozone," and "Wiped Out"), something that both Frehley and drummer Peter Criss had succumbed to (eventually leading to their dismissal from the band). Other standouts include the pretty, multi-tracked instrumental "Fractured Mirror," the vicious album-opener "Rip It Out," the Zeppelin-esque "I'm In Need of Love," as well as a pair of melodic compositions, "Speedin' Back to My Baby" and "What's on Your Mind?" Although Frehley would issue several other solo albums in the '80s, he never topped his inspired '78 Kiss solo album. Includes liner notes by Robert V. Conte. All tracks have been remastered. Recorded at the "Mansion," Sharon, Connecticut. Personnel: Ace Frehley (vocals, guitar, acoustic guitar, guitar synthesizer, bass guitar, background vocals); Bill Scheniman (vocals, bells); David Lasley, ...

Kiss Peter Criss CD (1978) Remastered

Paul Stanley music CDs

$6.49

Remastered by Joseph M. Palmaccio (Sterling Sound, New York, New York). Prior to joining Kiss, Peter Criss spent years honing his drumming chops in numerous New York City-area bands, playing other styles besides Kiss's heavy metal. For his 1978 Kiss solo album, Criss reconnected with a member of one of his old bands, Stan Penridge, with whom he co-wrote the majority of the tunes. Sensing that most fans would want to hear more ballads in the vein of his 1976 hit with Kiss, "Beth," several are included: "Don't You Let Me Down," "Easy Thing," "Kiss the Girl Goodbye," and "I Can't Stop the Rain." The more rock-oriented selections are more mellow than Kiss's usual fare, with a cover of "I'm Gonna Love You,'" as well as the originals "Tossin' and Turnin'," "You Matter to Me," and "That's the Kind of Sugar Papa Likes." Includes liner notes by Robert V. Conte. Engineers: Bob Schaper, Mike Stone, Dave Wittman. Personnel: Peter Criss (vocals, drums, percussion, background vocals); Stan Penridge (guitar, background vocals); Art Munson, Elliott Randall, John Tropea, Steve Lukather, Brendan Harkin (guitar); Michael Carnahan, Tom Saviano (saxophone); Bill Cuomo (keyboards, synthesizer); Richard Gerstein (keyboards); Bill Bodine, Allan Schwartzberg (drums); Lenny Castro (percussion); Gordon Grody, Davey Faragher, Danny Faragher, Maxine Dixon, Annie Sutton, Jimmy Faragher, Maxine Willard Waters, Tommy Faragher, ...

Kiss Dynasty CD (1979)

Paul Stanley songs

$6.49

For many of the faithful, DYNASTY marks a turning point in the Kiss story. Their first release after the members' solo albums, it was their last outing with drummer Peter Criss (he was on the cover of UNMASKED, but not the tracks within), and Ace Frehley's departure wasn't far off. DYNASTY is an album of some bombast, with slick production, the inevitable nod to disco ("I Was Made For Loving You"), a Stones cover ("2000 Man") and plenty of their trademark hard rock/pop hybrid. Definitely a softer take on the Kiss sound, this was a harbinger of what the '80s would hold for the band--a more radio-friendly style. With the catchy echoing chorus of "Charisma" and the wistful strut of "Magic Touch," Kiss evolved past the Neanderthal stomp of yesteryear and into a new age of slick, sophisticated, and ultimately more lucrative pop mastery. Recorded at Electric Lady Studios and Record Plant, New York, New York. Includes liner notes ...

Kiss Unmasked CD (1980)

Paul Stanley album

$6.49

Released in 1980, UNMASKED is the first album by Kiss not featuring the four original members. Although featured on the album cover, drummer Peter Criss was replaced by session man and David Letterman band member Anton Fig. With disco all but dead and new wave setting in, the group took a pop approach with producer Vini Poncia at the helm. While the record may have alienated hard core fans that were used to the band's heavier sound, the record did manage to appeal to Kiss' ever growing kiddie base. The band's lyrical content remained consistent though, as "Is That You?" describes a vixen-like character close to the group. "Shandi", the only single off the record, is a catchy pop ballad featuring Paul Stanley on lead vocals. Lead guitarist Ace Frehley contributes vocally to 2 tracks: "Talk To Me" and "Torpedo Girl", increasing his input in the group compared to previous years. While UNMASKED may not be Kiss's hardest rocking ...

Kiss Music From "The Elder" CD (1981) Remastered

Paul Stanley CD music

$6.49

Taking a dip in sales with their previous effort UNMASKED, Kiss decided to deliver a more hard-driving rock album and enlisted the aid of Bob Ezrin, the man who produced DESTROYER (their most successful studio album). Upon his hiring, Ezrin discarded the heavy rock demos Kiss had recorded and suggested the band experiment with a concept album, a Kissified version of THE WALL. Disgruntled at the band's new direction, Ace Frehley only contributed one track, "Dark Light" (featuring a blistering solo), and aside from basic tracks, the rest of the record was completed without him. THE ELDER is a creative left turn for the band. Kiss brought in co-writers Tony Powers ("Odyssey", "The Oath") and Lou Reed ("Dark Light", "A World Without Heroes", "Mr. Blackwell") to contribute to this epic fantasy, and the result is some magnificent music. The American Symphony Orchestra is heard throughout the album, adding to the grand scale. The finale, "I" is a powerful ode to self-esteem, sung convincingly by Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley. THE ELDER is a highly underrated Kiss album that showed the band's depth and ability to branch out in different musical directions. Includes liner notes by Robert V. Conte. Engineers include: Brian Christian, Rick Hart, Robert "Ringo" Hryeyna. Composer: Kiss. Personnel: Ace Frehley, Paul Stanley (vocals, guitar); Eric Carr (vocals, drums); Gene Simmons (vocals).

Faith No More King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime CD (1995)

Paul Stanley music CDs

$5.99

Faith No More's fifth full-length effort, 1995's KING FOR A DAY/FOOL FOR A LIFETIME, was the band's most straightforward work to date. Trey Spruance, the guitarist for FNM singer Mike Patton's side band, Mr. Bungle, who replaced Jim Martin after ANGEL DUST, fit in perfectly with the band--as proven by such highlights as "Ricochet," "Evidence," "The Gentle Art of Making Enemies," "Digging the Grave," and the epic title track. Unfortunately, Spruance's tenure with the band was short-lived--he departed just prior to the start of the album-supporting tour. Live Recording Recorded at Bearsville Studios, Bearsville, ...

Kevin Dubrow In For The Kill CD (2004)

Paul Stanley album

$14.65

Features covers of T. Rex, Queen, Deep Purple, Montrose, The Sweet, Humble Pie, Mott The Hoople and Nazareth. During his break from Quiet Riot in 2004, Kevin DuBrow remained busy, as he toured alongside such metal titans as Steven Adler and Jani Lane as part of the Bad Boys of Metal Tour, and also issued his first ever solo release, In for the Kill. An entirely 'all covers' affair (which along with unplugged albums, has become the industry standard for veteran rock acts), DuBrow tackles songs from groups that shaped Quiet Riot's style early on. While you're obviously not going to be expecting a vocal tour de force on par with Ronnie James Dio or Geoff Tate here, DuBrow certainly sounds like he's having a good time letting his hair down and revisiting some favorites from his record collection. Included are spirited versions of Deep Purple's "Speed King," Queen's "Modern Times Rock N' Roll," and T. Rex's "20th Century Boy." Surprisingly, with an album title like In for the Kill, you'd expect a cover of the renowned (to metalheads, at least) Budgie tune of the same name -- but it's ...
