“At the end of the day, if it was a relay race, the two of us won it.” That’s how Paul Stanley summed up his long relationship with his co-star in Kiss, Gene Simmons.
It was in 1970 that the two musicians first joined forces in a New York-based group named Rainbow, which was subsequently renamed Wicked Lester. And although this venture failed – the band was dropped after recording an album for Epic Records – Stanley knew even then that his future lay with Simmons.
