If the interview is an hour of Billy trying to pull deep KISS data out of Paul like he did Gene, l have no interest in watching.

Not really. It's Paul pontificating only to come up with the same crap we've heard a thousand times...only difference is, this time he's got Billy interjecting when he shouldn't. Super annoying interviewer. Gets decent guests but holy hell, I can never get through it.NeonKnite wrote: ↑Thu Jun 12, 2025 4:08 amIt is.

Me too. Billy needs to do less talking and more listening. That's a good rule in life actually....Bair Hand wrote: ↑Thu Jun 12, 2025 4:17 amSuper annoying interviewer.

"""""""""""Billy interjecting when he shouldn't. Super annoying interviewer. """""""""""""""""
I said this about a month ago...
I like when he asks a question, and the Subject starts to answer, but Billy cuts him off and says: "But then this..." and the guy starts to try and finish his answer, and Billy does it again, with nearly every question.
He is a horrible interviewer.
It's likely also why he and Sharon Osbourne clashed at some point when she tried to manage him... I recall it ended kind of badly!
EDITED: Just searched it... back in 2000, she took on The Smashing Pumpkins, but quit after a few months... in short she said Corgan was an ass!
"He won't accept anyone else's opinion. He's got no problems in his life except that he's a six foot baldy twat in a dress."
“Unfortunately he's surrounded himself with arse-lickers," Sharon added, "and it's a long time since anyone pointed out a few home truths. I feel sorry for the other band members because he doesn't treat people well. He's also extremely competitive and that's a bit sad. I thought their last album, Adore, was a great record but as soon as it wasn't a massive commercial success, he blamed the record company, sacked his previous management and ignored the fact that it wasn't a particularly commercial record."

It's not just that he interrupts. He tries to answer the question for the guest which seems to always throw them off. It's not all that bad if you look at it as a regular conversation instead of a typical Q&A interview.
I actually like Paul interviews. His recent one with Steve-O was especially good. I'll check this out.
I watched Richie Sambora and Diane Warren.
Richie....I think he was on pain killers or something. He was not all there.
Diane...well, she's a writer not a performer and she came across that way. Almost surprised that she was being interviewed.

Of the Billy interviews I've seen, this was the least obnoxious.

What else is Paul Stanley supposed to talk about? I don't want to hear him talk about Politics or the economy.NeonKnite wrote: ↑Thu Jun 12, 2025 4:08 amIt is.

Not too familiar with Billy Corgan's show but I watched the DeLeo brothers interview and part of this one and in both episodes Billy interrupts, then apologizes, then his interview subjects say "No, please, continue." I can only assume this happens in every episode. 
And the DeLeos were total gentlemen when he accused them of ripping off one of their biggest hits from him. (I guess he thinks the "And I feel, and I feel" part from "Plush" was jacked from "Suffer." I only sort of hear it.)

What would you rather hear? The same 20 questions that have been asked thousands of times of the last 50 years?ParaDime77 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 11, 2025 1:30 pm If the interview is an hour of Billy trying to pull deep KISS data out of Paul like he did Gene, l have no interest in watching.
How did the makeup start?
What's your favorite KISS album?
How did you and Gene meet?
Who were your influences?

HA HA!
Paul couldn't answer the question about spirituality
He's so much into himself he couldn't even address the question.
He was lost and in their words stumped
