influential bands ever kiss 2014 rock and roll hall of fame inductees his latest project soul station will be released on march 5th as i said big paul stanley what's happening ali that's always great to see you oh he's a oh it's a pleasure always stimulating and i look forward to this. well listen man i read a quote it gave me goosebumps because it's true i mean listen i feel bad for people who go off the road obviously the rock stars become young potentates they can have what they want sometimes some of them choose the way they were done at 27 like every famous rock star i never admired you know that but never a romantic for me i get the same sense about you well you know unfortunately i think that the press the media critics are responsible for some of that because somehow. not caring about business not caring about your health living this rock'n'roll caricature or is what credibility is based on for some and it's unfortunate because it kills the rockstar but the critic continues so it just never made sense to me i want to enjoy the hard work i want to enjoy. the fruits of the labor so to speak and. i'm living a great life and i'm a product of a certain philosophy that some may think is is is corny but look to me life is a miracle on its worst day so i just wake up every day and figure what can i do today to to reaffirm that. paul you know if you make it in years i'll say to kids out there if you make it into your fifty's try to buy yourself that decade certainly by your sixty's and you're worried about anybody thinkin you corny you've missed the point of the whole trip. you've got to make your choices there really are about what doesn't make you feel courted then live that life and the outside world what a unit we're region not hurting anybody at some point you gotta wake up and take a big bite out of life and i get the sense about paul that he does you know paul america where you come from when i 1st moved to manhattan i was so scared trying to become a comedian i used to take the subway all the way up to the end of the island joint called the cloisters just to sit there and look at the river and keep my sanity and i saw you were from up that way right yeah i used to actually go up to the cloisters which is dykeman street and broadway. it's fascinating up there because it's not an actual building that existed but it's a conglomeration of the different parts of different cloisters from all over europe and. it's it's mystical magical at the top of the hill that neighborhood was very interesting because. primarily certainly where i was was irish catholic and we were the jews on the block and closer to the cloisters though were a lot of refugees who fled europe during the lead up to the 2nd world war it was it was a terrific neighborhood in most people don't even know of its existence is called in wood and it's right next to riverdale terrific i don't know as far as the necessity of the occupants now but. it was my childhood. our the mix with the jews of that where they welcomed marrying or was the top of the street was it was a north side story let's get up there it was great everybody wanted to see my horns you know it was it was too much. stuff it was your hope maybe it was a real tree. now you know whatever i read. a certain age. almost everybody it's like michael rennie get not the spaceship and the day the earth stood still when the beatles go on the sullivan show how to show that was like that for a year to some degree right absolutely i think that the beatles on it sullivan show was in a pit in the for people and i open ing. you know i tend to say that rock stars make music rock stars make music but phenomenon impacts society the beatles were a phenomenon. even from their earliest inception an introduction i remember just being riveted to the screen 8 o'clock sunday night and watching these 4 guys that looked like they belong together seem to be the club that i wanted to be a member of playing this amazing music and something inside this this little porky kid who was not well socially had trusted and also was deaf in one ear i sat here and when i can do that i never i never meant that i could be the beatles but they were touching a nerve that somehow instinctively innately i felt that i could and i think that a lot of people don't give themselves enough credit for what's possible you're used to hearing people tell you what's impossible and in faery a plea what they're saying it was impossible for me so i'm here to tell most people that if you really do a a harsh assessment of your yourself and what you're truly good at then the only thing standing between you and success is hard work. we're going to talk about his latest project soul station it'll be released on march 5th but i'm trying to go back to the beginning and talk about his roots of the beatles make it then but there's another whole class of guys who are yeah blue ivy so all they call obviously what they're all the fairly straight a lot of sides to a lot of people and i always find the philly scene so bifurcated paul in that you had you know fabian bobby right there in that camp and you got to go where you've got some serious hit me in a small cats and i was wondering what about them resonated with you as a young bat that works out well certainly it was all fertile although you would have to say that. the bobby roy dells or the fabian 2 are really a product of a manager or somebody putting out the next teen idol. philly soul for me whether it was tom bell and linda creed or kenny gamble and leon huff they took these great groups the o'jays the spinners the stylistics of the list goes on and on and created great sounds built around each one of those bands and as i said to i get to drop things too as i was talking to jimmy page once and i said you know before i ever listen to any of the british bands that were so influential to me i was listening to solomon burke i was listening to all the motown. artists the idea that from a small area in detroit in these projects you got smokey robinson the temptations the 4 tops with levi stubbs you had barry gordy holland dozier holland all these people that was huge to me and what they were singing about just. resonated for me philly soul had this great symphonic sound to it and motown i mean you want to talk about it an anthem talk about dancin in the streets that's all rock anthem you know it's a call for people to go out and dance in the streets that music resonated with me early on i was lucky enough i saw otis redding live i saw solomon burke. you know so that music was really really part of my formative years and being able now to have soul station does this band this 15 piece band of people who are really like minded all who have played with everyone from smokey and stevie to whitney use to into natalie cole to. a lot of contemporary artists and all of us were just bent on this idea of championing that great music that somehow has been relegated to becoming the oldies or a sample on a rap song you don't need a sample for a rap song you need to hear the 4 tops you need to hear all this music and what we really put our our nose to the grindstone was to be able to do all that music with reverence and faithfully and bring it to people live and that's what we've been doing you want to hear that you know great delfonics songs blue magic all the stuff so we started playing and the response was great and we were having a ball recreating all the music and finally went into the studio and as we were in the studio i just started thinking why do just old songs let's write a new page let's seamlessly take this into yeah let's take this into the present and because it's not music that just should just be oldies it should give birth to new music so that's a ensure what we did well it's best represented like i said earlier soul station obit released on march 5th while talking about some of the players seize with now paul stanley and one of my inspirations i've talked in gene many times over the years and like i said i've always admired rocker a lot of crocker all has been in me probably since the same time he saw the sullivan show but something about the diminished returns of becoming our dead legend said always are so like minded people i've always been fond of the kiss approach to business and rock n roll talk more to paul right up to this dennis miller plus one. if you take 2 good. look these one this is my grandfather watch just go particularly good every day good what you make one a little bit higher you wait a little bit. and then come back and look at them they're knocks they don't indicate the same time because there's more coming up here the time down there. nuclear become a battleground in the us in vermont people love demanding the shutdown of a local plant from yankee is right now my focus because it's a very dangerous oh no care power plant the owner is attempting to run the reactor beyond its operational limits this case just sort of puts a magnifying glass on where's the power in this country where's it going is it moving more towards corporate interests or is it more in the idea of a traditional participatory democracy is power line with the people this case demonstrates that struggle in the very real ways our struggle. but i think this is a 3rd of ministration i've been doing the show for going on 12 years anyway you know a big thing with $22026.00 team was de dollars station. and now it's all coming to. a folks welcome back to that it's miller close one. stuck in a problem right about his father who is 101 now ali still sharp as a tack it's unbelievable any subject that i can bring up he'll just dive into and he'll talk to me about business will talk to me about politics. all current event when i'm on tour hill i'll call me says oh you're in kansas today oh he's totally with it i try to explain to my kids most people 100 years old don't know where they are or if they are my dad if we could put his head on another body he'd be good for 200 years at what a life span there from from over a 100 years when he was a young man as they said in the movie there's the kiss and then eventually big sons hall of fame bad let's talk about soul station new group put together featuring i'm sol multiple artists and musicians i'd love to hear some of the roster of how long you know and some of the guys any new cats tell me about it was planned here it's really interesting it just the interesting thing is it just fell together and everybody feels like they've known each other forever everybody comes over to my house we we have a great time the musical director keyboard player alex alex and droning is this brilliant brilliant arranger pianist he played he was musical director for whitney used him for natalie cole christina aguilera paying cher the list goes on john papen broke our lead trumpet played with buddy rich played with frank sinatra played with the temptations. and he's just stellar sean hurley our bass player was the touring bass player for john mayer. who is our percussionist is on tour recently with chicago. and he's played with with again a who's who. let's see who else i can mention. our drummer wears white face and whiskers. eric singer has been in kiss for over 24 years i believe and he's just a brilliant drummer who grew up playing in big bands with his dad so this is really his his. his wheelhouse i'm not going to call them backup singers because they're far from it but a crystal crystal night who's really the mama a good looking mama i had that heard her dad saying backup for jackie wilson and. yes so and his front very funny because he comes to the shows and he just loves it and he talks about me god bless him and he goes he sounds like all those guys what you know i mean who could hope for more than that. let's see lauren be what i do you know i wonder what are more it's the 27 yankees it's the road you put out there over there yeah it's really it's really the best thing about it is how much everybody loves being together and when you see the videos which are being released the 1st single comes out the 15th it's the remake of a child by the 5 stair steps and you just see the joy in the band because everybody in the band goes i mean like i said they played with everybody and to play with everybody and they go all we want to do is this all we want to do is this music so we're just having a ball and it's so interesting paul last night as i was dozing i was reading a book about the sand so tell they're talking about sinatra and basic of bed and i always a lot about. you know it made me yanks. we want to read up when somebody does charts i kind of know what that is now 0 on that but i need to do not war because young quincy jones did the charts. i met him steppin was an archer a and tell basi and doing the charts for the band sands and it's an oft overworked position i was doing the arrangements based things as an adult some of those guys over the years building make outs like that it is a huge part of. the guy who did all of the charter arrangements the classic ones from motown was in school at the time he was a teenager ok now so yeah and sometimes he might say i can't be there you know until whatever time i'm going to finish what i'm doing so yeah it's crazy and. you know when when you think speaking of quincy jones quincy jones proved produced and in music that means directed organized as opposed to a film quincy jones produced lesley gore. really i just saw her on that show down in santa monica i forget what it's called that concert and lesley gore came out with some heavy weights and she hit the hell out of the ball that night shea did it's my party she did you don't own me one of the 1st real women's lib the songs way before i am woman helen reddy but. yeah so quincy quincy's he's the real deal. you know paul when i look at the covers on the album i was just listening last week to sirius radio al green comes on the let's stay together i look at my wife and i say is it arguably or inarguably that this is the greatest rb song ever what your thoughts on what al green could you know there's the old saying he could sing the phone book i mean this guy is the reverend he and to this day man he he's just stellar and let's stay together crazy crazy could and we did it and mad takes colonies but i have to say it it's great you know we're walking in big shadows you know these legends really cast big shadows but i really believe that this music needs to be heard and maybe with a fresh coat of paint on it it extends the life of it because the music is just stellar al green willie mitchell all the stuff that came out from those guys was just ridiculous you know you well you were yeah i was well that's going to be robin and berry gordy in the motown documentary which is blow my mind there sit on a soundboard it was funny smokey when you see such a gentle cat from far away you wonder i wonder smokey was over in the game was you play or was the you know what was it he was so cool with that documentary and when he. and barry would get to the part where you know got a little while the dogs just look at you have. made me laugh so hard that i know when glads between guys who are in the belly of the kids that's what's the you know that's the beauty is that commercial and to be able to look back on that for them i mean i found that that showed just something to watch over and over to know the connection between the 2 and by the way smokey wrote my girl for the temps you know so smokey was all over that scene but to have those 2 guys be able to look back at what they've created and still have that bond between each other you can't get better than that and that sort of stuff the ability stuff to meet you that is stored in the stone catalog stuff to be able to summon that up they go ok i'm on the clock let's write a song close my eyes well the whole idea is not dissimilar to the brill building in new york where you would have carole king and gerry goffin in one stall and you would have barry man and cynthia wilde in the next one and you'd have. jeff barry and ellie greenwich and everybody's competing to write the next hit song for the righteous brothers or you got to write a song for poor appear in the raiders or the animals so yeah it's a great way if you have the the talent it's a great way to learn your craft i always say you know anybody can write a song but that doesn't make you a songwriter. explained to me more what do you mean to you mean a one off people come knocking on or what tell me what you mean i think anybody with any technical knowledge of an instrument can basically write a song understanding what it takes to craft a great song and repeated over and over is. where you know that separates the boys and women men or whatever and now you want to use. writing is writing songs as is easy understanding what it takes to write a great song is or is something that you're always working at so the people in the brill building were holland dozier holland or norman whitfield all the people who were writing these great songs. marvin gaye. you have to really understand what it takes to not only write a great song not to fall into a great song but craft one and then be able to do it again and we're talking of the great i would be remiss if i didn't say on this new album there is 14. station it'll be released on march 5th by the way folks originals we have some originals but there are i think there's 5 originals on there. you know what again when we started to go into the studio and as this kept evolving i just started to think we need some we need one modern song not yet that it sounds modern but a song that transitions us seamlessly into the present and i wrote one and then i when we need to and the band was so fired up and everybody you heard 'd some of my friends who were quite well known singers and songwriters and performers. they've heard some of the album and go. it's seamless. one of my friends heard one of the originals and says who did that originally and i went what do you mean he goes well that's my favorite song on the album where become friendly you know i wrote it you know it was a good idea well there are good. you know. listen i just want to say in closing i hope you're just pushes back like everybody else this and your trip because man this bad has provided so much pleasure for people i was loved which is not only do i like a guy who would knows when it's time to ride off into the sunset i know what shall i call those exactly what time the sun sets on that day cord into the charts for those back on the tracks that because i have literally talked to my producer christian news the biggest hispan the world's a brother we might have to be at rio when that wraps because you don't get a chance to be there when the but when a band of that consequence actually moves on i hope you pushed it back to let us know anything on that front paul once you get we get beyond this damn thing and get on the road again everything goes gets pushed back in and you and i we go back to i think the m.t.v. reunion show under the brooklyn bridge i think you when you were introduced to us for that one so we go back quite a ways and me being a fan of yours when you did s n l and since then you know we're on we're on a good path together. ali it's good to see a brother you are as tom wolfe said a man and all and you get a good anya and we will be looking on march 5th as i said for the soul station album 2014 rock n roll hall of fame inductee front man for. 6 long just one more thing yeah i got to tell you one more thing we are releasing singles almost every 2 weeks so between now and the album coming out every 2 weeks or so we're going to release a video and we're going to release another song so yes you'll have the entire product the entire treasure trove in march but up until then you'll be sampling some real tasty or d'oeuvres. copy is for closers mr stanley and you an exemplary one going to talk to my friend fuck down or always. paul stanley on dennis miller plus one. when else so small seems wrong but all are all just don't call. me old yet to shape our disdain comes to educate and in game training equals betrayal. when so many find themselves worlds apart we choose to look for common ground. by the demick no certainly no borders and is blind to nationalities. as a marginal temperature of the we don't look like seeing the world peace to be. judged as coming crisis with this system tomorrow. we can do better we should be doing better. everyone is contributing each of their own way but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever the challenges create the response has been massive so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. taste awful. no the virus is mutating like walk 2 blocks away from the apartment and i would get confused. meanwhile patients who had recovered from. the symptoms were different but. my hearing has been ok i think. one of the things like research is all over the world are trying to determine the many pains and other problems. to numbers showing in my hair. 1113 there this is throughout the day my hair just. various. just leave for 35 percent of recovered patients. so. there have been many complaints of peril vision loss joint pain and fatigue in the us these patients are referred to as opposed to the whole as i talk to multiple doctors and my doctor and they said we have a feeling that you're going to have a hard time in recovery you're going to be one of those people that they consider a long haul. in the day's headlines frustration mounts and countries that opted for the pfizer job s. apply problems to europe and north america in the u.s. having to travel to neighboring states just to get. off of this our coronavirus restrictions are used in the russian capital as the vaccination program gains momentum and infection rates drop. we hear from some of those giving the child up and i want to get vaccinated against the corona virus i'm afraid of getting sick and dying we can't just sit home and be afraid waiting for everything to be flying . and president like ron promises that students will be able to go back to university a part time after a wave of the.
