NEW PAUL STANLEY INTERVIEW with audio
AJ
Paul Stanley decided not to do a promotional European Tour do promote
"Live to win". There were 5 interviews scheduled for the German press,
4 of them got cancelled due to personal reasons a while ago and so far
none of them have been re-scheduled.
Instead there will be a promotional interview CD from Universal sent to
the press. Here it is:
from: Universal Music Enterprises - 2006:
Question One:
This is only the second solo album you've recorded, the first one being
right back in 1978. Why did you decide the time was now right for a
follow-up?

Question Three:
The 1978 solo album is very highly thought-of by KISS fans; did this
add a degree of pressure to creating the new one?

Question Five:
KISS has worked with a number of producers over the years, including
legends like Bob Ezrin; why did you choose to produce the 'Live To Win'
album yourself?
