Back around Haydn’s and Mozart’s day (when Beethoven was just a young boy) a symphony at best was 30 minutes in length. Then Beethoven composed his 3rd symphony “Eroica” which a prescribed score is between 50-55 minutes and the music world was taken aback. Also Beethoven had no peer when it came to sight reading music and before his impending deafness had no peer when it came to playing and improvising on the piano. Treat yourself and listen to both his 4th and 5th Piano Concerto…….

And I am 49 years old!!! But simply because of the length of Paul Stanley’s (Stanley Eisen) hair, I never would have known. I also see that Paul is a painter as well. I would not mind having one of his painting’s on my wall. Thanks for that info that you have submitted

He spoke of it on “the Drs” as a level 3 Microtia, which meant that not only was the outer ear unformed/malformed, between the outer ear and the inner ear (where all the workings are that translate sound for us)–there is no ear c*****. And yes, he had this from birth. I think he has a bone anchored device now, but here’s something interesting a former bandmate said. Bruce Kulick said Paul has perfect pitch–when the band rehearsed, he was the first to notice someone was off key.

If you don’t like KISS that’s ok by me, most of you are at least being respectful about it.
