While #1,
Paul McCartney
, continues touring and teaching us that there is no reason to die of rock, the other Paul,
Paul Stanley
, now
comes to say goodbye to Buenos Aires with his old and beloved Kiss
.
Yes, we are
Team Paul Stanley
.
Always.
Paul can't afford to go gray while he's at the helm of Kiss
.
Perhaps it was his idea to say a big thank you.
A lot of pressure to be
a Star
throughout half a century.
How is it possible for a 71-year-old
guy
to look physically better than any human being half his age?
11 years ago: Stanley on his way through Buenos Aires.
He now he comes back, intact.
Reuters.
A year ago, when they began to insinuate their long goodbye at the Polo Field,
it was great to see him crossing the night on a zip line, without any protective element
and standing on shiny shoes that not even Pachano.
While
Gene Simmons
can afford to get fat behind his ostentatious wardrobe, still and barely linguistic,
the second most important Paul in rock carries on the tour, the shows and the entire magic
that Kiss proposes.
Equal to himself, in body and soul
Now that it's all over,
Stanley should be remembered, without a doubt, as the great spokesman for the band
and the person most responsible for making Kiss,
throughout 50 years
, never cease to be a titanic stadium show.

Unbeatable duo.

It's a little humiliating to see him exactly the same
.
It is disturbing that it has not registered major changes since
Dynasty
(1979).
Besides, only he and Pipo Gorosito went through the decades with the same haircut.
Being able to be
Led Zeppelin
, Kiss is or was
Coca Cola
.
There are even linings and toilet paper with the face of Paul Stanley.
The electric mist coming out of his mouth.
The sensual, fatalistic tone.
And what has been said: nothing to do with the pure fatigue that Gene Simmons experiences: where one is an automaton resting on his laurels and his rigid bass lines, the other is a butterfly that flutters to the beat of vindicatory
music of the 20th century
.
The most sensual.
The one with the highest tones.
Stanley always played himself.
The eternal disguise replaced the fashion.
Kiss neutralized any type of
outfit
.
For a while, this Paul knew what it was like to lose grace in a forgettable makeup-free period, where they were just a rock band in jeans and Tony Manero shirts.
One aunt looked like the faded Stanley
.
But a cool aunt of those who were the first to take contraceptives.

He published it on the networks to raise awareness about the use of the mask.
Just like
Miranda!
, Kiss was becoming a duo.
Stanley & Simmons.
In that order of merit.
Like
Lennon and McCartney
.
Like
Peter Jackson
's documentary on The Beatles, these two jerks (Stanley/Simmons) deserve their own
biopic
on
Disney+,
because Kiss is healthier than a cereal bar and shows that rock is a vigorous material that allows you to cross the seventh Decade in full state of tour.
And of grace.
Intact from head to toe, Stanley.
Putting hair on chest.
His voice may be one of the most iconic in rock.
Like Freddy Mercury
's
,
John Lennon
's or
Robert Plant's
.
Stanley continues to sing like he did in
Hotter Than Hell
.
Everyone's voice timbre changes with age except Paul Stanley's
.
Despite the years, he continues to have the entrenched euphoria in his vocal cords.
The voice of the perfect coach for a political speech or a television presenter.
Tinelli must have copied the tone.
Milei, the intense imprint
.
Alberto wants to imitate him, but a bondi seller appears.
The part where Stanley sings
C'mon and Love Me,
a song that should have been a much bigger hit, is something we can't top anymore.
We're talking about the only Kiss member who didn't lose his charm
From him.
We have shared a plane ride with the four original members.
Peter Criss
was following some kids.
Ace Frehley
was all wrinkled.
Gene Simmons was just tall and tribal and Stanley – how can I forget – gave us a quick and furious look when we dared to touch his shoulder to say
“And love you”.
Vain, conceited, disgustingly astral
.
Remarkable in its addiction to ego.
Never better earned his name in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
Half a century on stage leading an essential band for the genre.
Painting, theater, music.
Paul Stanley, a far from fleeting star who also knew how to perfectly symbolize the balance between masculine and feminine.
