KISSOnline has posted a sneak peek of the first two pages of Paul Stanley's interview from KISS: Monster—The Official Album And Tour Magazine, which hits newsstands everywhere today. Check it out below:

If Gene Simmons is KISS’ fire-breathing, Cro-Magnon wraith, Paul Stanley is its gallant dragonslayer. With his iconic, romantic makeup design, flamboyant costumes and seductive stage swagger, Stanley not only defined hard-rock glamour fantasy in the 1970s, he coupled that otherworldly visage with one of the greatest howls in music history, a primal scream of such depth, range and power that he is rightly regarded as a master.

But like the band whose thunderbolt block-lettered logo he has stood in front of KISS for almost four decades, Stanley has evolved—as a songwriter, an artist, a businessman and a human being. When KISS hit hard times at the dawn of the 1980s, when the band removed their makeup and tried to become something else, when Simmons’ attentions wandered to Hollywood and sold-out arenas became half-filled stadiums, it was Stanley’s passion for the baby he helped raise that kept its pulse racing.
