Sharing the stage for decades obviously must leave some kind of mark on anyone’s personality. Yes in the past Gene Simmons (Kiss) compared his relationship with Paul Stanley to those of the leaders of The Rolling Stones and The Beatleshis partner on stage until recently also expressed his “favorite thing” about Simmons specifically, something that was reinforced with the following phrase: “We have won”.
During an intervention in the last episode of The Allison Hagendorf Showthey asked Paul Stanley if you had been in contact with Gene since they both hung their belongings definitive at the end of December and they will inaugurate a new stage of the band in the form of avatars.
These were his words: “We text each other almost every day. We inform each other. How is the family? And it’s great. It really is a family. I consider their children as my children, and seeing what they do is truly amazing. And Shannon, Gene’s wife, is like my sister-in-law.”.
According to Stanleythe key to getting along for more than five decades was the following: “I think prioritizing. Certainly for me, the band has always been the most important thing. Look, I’m not always a guy to be around, and he’s had to put up with me at times, but Kiss has always been our priority. And I think over the years, whatever issues we’ve had with each other, that was never something that we were ultimately going to compromise on. And, look, family members fight, but they are family. And Gene and I have never been closer than we are now, because… I’ve said it before, it’s like we have nothing to argue about. We have won”.
Regarding his “favourite thing” of Genethis is how it was expressed: “Well, that’s an interesting question. Gene always admits when he’s wrong, and that takes someone great. And I don’t know if it’s like that with everyone, but we have such a close relationship that I think we’ll both say, “I screwed up,” or if I’ve certainly said something to him that went against his way of thinking, he’ll say, “ You’re right”. For that you need to be a great person. And again, I believe there is no substitute for time”.
In the opinion of Paulfinding a good friend does not happen overnight: “I told one of my children that you can have a best friend that you met a month ago, but to know if he is really your best friend, it will take you months, years, to go through difficult times, good and bad. The way someone responds to all those kinds of problems and all that determines whether that person is in your life or not. And when push comes to shove, Gene has always been there. And on the contrary. I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t do for him, and I can trust him to do the same. The number of years we have spent together says it all.”.
