On April 26th, KISS frontman Paul Stanley addressed the crowd in a halftime speech at the LA KISS - San Jose SaberCats game at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA, slamming the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame:

Fox News recently spoke with Stanley about his new book Face The Music: A Life Exposed. An excerpt from the story is available below:

Stanley regards his stint as the Phantom as a turning point in his career. After seeing the London company perform the show in 1988, he said it changed his life.

"I had this momentary revelation, an epiphany where I went, 'Wow, I can do that,'" he said. "And it was the same thing I did when I saw THE BEATLES. I was a fat little kid who couldn't play an instrument but I looked at them and said, 'I can do that.'"

Eleven years later, Stanley got a call from his agent asking if he'd be interested in auditioning for the part of the Phantom and got to play him with the Toronto company, what he calls "the hardest work I've ever done." When that ended, he went back to concentrating on his highly successful band, but gained an even greater appreciation for the art form.

After the experience of performing eight shows a week, Stanley had this to say: "Anybody in rock 'n' roll who actually complains about the discipline and the workload should actually be flipping burgers because we have a lucky, lucky life."
