The surprising Zen of KISS's Paul Stanley

Off the Cupp with S.E. Cupp

In this first episode of 2025, S.E. sits down with Paul Stanley, The Starchild, of KISS. The Rock and Roll Hall of Famer and KISS co-founder takes SE back to his early days growing up in the Inwood neighborhood of New York City - the northern tip of Manhattan. "We were pretty singular in terms of being Jews." He shares what it was like navigating childhood with an ear deformity and a dysfunctional family and what it took for him to get the help he needed. He also dives into his musical career, what he really thinks of Gene Simmons, Phantom of the Opera, and what he thinks is the best decade for music.
