"Even now it can still get the tears running down my face": Paul Stanley - the soundtrack of my life

This year was a momentous year for Kiss frontman Paul Stanley, as the band finally finished their long goodbye with the final shows of the End Of The Road tour. 

Born Stanley Bert Eisen in New York City on January 20, 1952, he dedicated 50 of his 71 years to the self-proclaimed Hottest Band In The World. As he reflects on the music that has inspired him, he speaks with reverence of Led Zeppelin, Steve Marriott and the great soul artists of a bygone age. But when it comes to rock anthems, he says that nobody did it better than Kiss.
