Everybody wants their picture with Glenn!
Another one! Thank you Chaim!
A snippet from a new Paul Stanley interview - talking about a Joel Peresman/Stanley Hall Of Fame dispute:
I saw you tweet a photo of yourself from the night of the induction with Glenn Frey, it looked like you were having fun.
I must say that I had a sense of vindication from the bleachers [laughs], I had a sense of ambivalence from some of the people on the floor. But Glenn was terrific, and the Eagles, you can’t deny that these guys have written the American songbook. So to spend some time with him was cool. Carrie Underwood [was there] — the reach and the breadth of the music [that night] was just terrific.
Interesting!!
I've heard Paul say things not directly mentioning the Eagles but things like "we aren't a band who goes out and sits on stools and playing soft rock and looking bored" or something to that affect. I always assumed he was referring to the Eagles.
Glad to hear Paul praise the band.
Thanks for posting that, chaim. I agree that Paul's comment about Glenn is pretty cool. Nice that members of bands that are so diametrically opposite can appreciate each other. Also loved Paul's observation about the Eagles writing the "American songbook".

Paul did mention the Eagles in their X-treme Close Up video. When they are talking about the KISS comics from the 70's, Paul says "You didn't see 'Marvel presents the Eagles'". I like to think of that as a comment referring to KISS's totally different image - not bashing the Eagles.
It's well known anyway that Paul and Gene listen to all kinds of music. They just like to see more than guys in T-shirts and jeans when they go to a concert. At least they keep saying that, but maybe they say it just to hype KISS...
Paul says it here at 0:50 mark:
