CraveOnline.com recently caught up with KISS frontman Paul Stanley to discuss the LA KISS football team, his new book Face The Music: A Life Exposed, and the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame. An excerpt is available below:
CraveOnline: Paul, did you ever think when you started with the band, that you would own a pro football team?
Paul Stanley: "No. I never thought I would be a rock star 40 years later either. Its been exciting. You know life is what you make it. That's basically what I was trying to say in my book (Face the Music). I was born deaf in one ear, without an ear. I had all kinds of problems at home, learning problems in school, and was very unhappy, and had all kinds of self-image problems, and thought becoming famous would be the answer so I became famous…luckily. I found out that's not the answer. Contentment comes from inside. You gotta figure out how to be content. Look, you have choices in life.You can put a gun in your mouth, you can put a needle in your arm, or you can roll up your sleeves. If you're a victim, you're a victim by choice. My story has been inspiring to a lot of people in and outside of music which is terrific for me. I am enjoying that quite a bit. I wrote a book that I wanted my kids to be able to read as they got older and for other people to realize that I'm not that different from them.
The idea of LA KISS football to have a team, that is, really, in the process of breaking all the rules which is what KISS is all about. The AFL is the black sheep of football and the LA KISS are the black sheep of the black sheep. We are trying to up the game and raise the bar so people get more for their money. That's what its always been about. There's no reason when you go to a sporting event you have to mortgage your house, sell your car, or can't take your kids cause its too expensive. We want this to be family entertainment and at the same time give you more than a half-time show with somebody dressed like a hamster or a wolverine jumping around on the field. We've got amazing dancers; hot as they come. We've got live music, we've got BMX bike riders, its an all-in, all encompassing evening. We want to give a wake-up call…a wake up, shake-up call to as what is possible."
