Paul Stanley, the famous “Star Child” of KISS, has been the topic of conversation in many circles lately, as he is rumored to have a solo album called Live to Win coming up as well as a KISS tour date in Japan! Additionally, he recently made some new art work including abstract paintings and a self-portrait in his KISS makeup. So, I decided to see if I could get some time with this incredible “star” and see what he has to say for Catnabbit fans!
Hazel: Hi Paul Stanley Doll, thanks for hanging out with me tonight!
Paul Stanley Doll: Hey, pleasure’s all mine, you snuggly kitty you!
Hazel: KISS is one of my favorite bands! I’ve been wondering, did you ever listen to any cat bands for inspiration?
Paul Stanley Doll: You mean like Josey and the Pussycats? There was also White Tiger, which had a KISS guitarist in it, Mark St. John. They were OK but White Lion was better. The “Meow Mix” theme song is kind of cute. Meow, meow, meow, meow..
Hazel: There was an album making the rounds last year with dogs singing Christmas carols. Would you be honored with a KISS cover album made entirely by feline KISS fans meowing and rocking out to KISS songs?
Paul Stanley Doll: I think that such a project sounds like it has a lot of creative potential. You could even call it “Lap it Up” like our “Lick it Up” album!
Hazel: Hey, was Peter Criss really a cat?
Paul Stanley Doll: Are you kidding? We could paint whiskers on anyone and they could do as well as Peter Criss. We even tried this once on tour in 1997 and nobody saw a difference.
Hazel: Have you seen any cats on TV? Which one did you like best?
Paul Stanley Doll: I saw Milo and Otis, where one of ‘em falls in the river. That one was pretty good. There’s also the usual fare of Tom & Jerry, Garfield, Heathcliff, and that new one, Catbert. If I had to pick one to hang out with, I’d pick Felix the Cat.
Hazel: Of all of the KISS Action figures out there, which one is your favorite?
Paul Stanley Doll: There were the KISS Celebriducks. You haven’t really reached fame until there are bath toys designed in your honor. I’m kind of glad someone thought of this, because I was really tired of getting my hair wet every time some hot girl decided she needed to bring me along for her bubble bath.
Hazel: You should try what I do. I just bathe with my tongue.
Paul Stanley Doll: You should talk to Gene Simmons about that one!
By the way, Paul Stanley Doll didn’t want any of my catnip. In fact, Paul Stanley once said, “When you start fooling around with drugs, you’re hurting your creativity, you’re hurting your health. Drugs are death, in one form or another. If they don’t kill you, they kill your soul. And if your soul’s dead, you’ve got nothing to offer, anyway.”
