Movie Reviews of Paul Stanley: One Live Kiss
Movie Review: One Live KISS....It's a can't be missed
Summary: 5 Stars
What can I say? Paul is the reason I became a KISS fan so many years ago. His voice, eyes, hair (yeah, head and chest)....in a nutshell, him.
With great anticipation I waited for the release of One Live KISS, and I was not disappointed.
Paul's voice sounds stronger today than it did in the beginning....what a set of pipes. From the sound of his voice in the prologue until the last note of Goodbye...which has always been one of my favorite songs from Paul's 1978 solo release...I was not disappointed.
There were times an audible gasp could be heard from me....Hide Your Heart comes to mind. I was taken back to being a teenage girl in lust with a rock star...THE ROCK STAR....the only one to ever make me weak in the knees. The epitome of the rock frontman.
On to the back up band. It was strange to see anyone but Gene Simmons, Eric Singer or Tommy Thayer playing behind Paul....but this fine group of musicians did an excellent job. Jim, Sasha, Nate, Rafael and Paul M did the KISS classics and Paul's new songs proud!
Louis Antonelli did a FABU job of putting this DVD together.
To make a long review longer....Guys...you done good....Thank you!
Movie Review: Like Paul's paintings, this IS art!
Summary: 5 Stars
Having attended Paul's solo show in Baltimore and being awed at Paul and the band's powerful performance, I've been waiting for a film version of the show. I also had the great fortune of attending the world premiere event for One Live Kiss in St. Charles, IL this past weekend, where the film was viewed on a theater screen with theater sound. What Mr. Antonelli captured and produced is so much more than a standard concert video--it truly is something that can be watched over and over. I found myself at points reliving the feelings of being AT Paul's show. This is a spectacular film from two gifted artists (Paul and Mr. Antonelli). After watching the film there is no doubt that Paul Stanley is a talented musician and performer. His command of the stage and connection with the audience should be studied by anyone who dares to set foot on a stage. Since I'm not a filmmaker, it's difficult for me to describe, but Mr. Antonelli is able to put Paul and the audience's passion into the film. You really feel it watching this. I believe this film, if taken seriously, could rank with Last Waltz, Woodstock and the Song Remains the Same. Thank you, Mr. Antonelli, for this gift to the fans!Movie Review: STAR POWER
Summary: 5 Stars
How could you go wrong? The best front man in rock, infront of the best house band you can get, with the best songs from the Paul Stanley catalogue. Add to this very nice photography and a show that has pretty much been left un-cut and still makes you feel like you are there watching it as part of the crowd. Having witnessed most of the Australian Paul shows this is a fantastic souvenier of a wonderful tour. Highlights abound musically but perhaps 'Million To One' is my personal favourite but its hard to ignore the majestic 'Tonight You Belong To Me' which Paul is rewarded with at the end with chants of Paul, Paul, Paul from the adoring crowd. Indeed many of the songs benefit from less "forceful" delivery that would normally be applied in the less light and shade trappings of a Kiss show. Paul's strength is his ability to write stellar pop rock one moment and then balls out rock the next, but he provides a nice balance with this setlist. Thoroughly recommended in that I think I will play this over and over again and it won't collect dust. Incidently the sound track version has also not stopped on my ipod so pop over and buy that too.Movie Review: Clarification
Summary: 5 Stars
I love Kiss, I love Paul. With that out of the way, let's get to the stats. I'm a Blu ray fan as well.
The video is presented in a "full screen" format, like some other reviewers have mentioned, was probably shot in full frame. If that's the case, then you're seeing it the way it was meant to be seen.
Sound, it's a tricky little beast.
I have a full home theater set-up and am able to receive all of the signals in hidef, lossy, etc...
One Live Kiss is presented in a 48/192 kbps stereo track which BLOWS. Sorry, it's the truth and will never watch it with this setting on.
The DTS track is presented in a "5.1" DTS lossy track which is constant at 1.5 mbps--it's pretty killer!!!!! Here's some more confusion, it should have been labeled "5.0", because I get NO low end off of the subwoofer. There's plenty of bass from the speakers, ZERO low end from the sub.
If you want to get technical, it's DTS "5.0" "lossy"surround sound.
I hope it gets a 96/24 bit treatment when it gets ported over to Blu ray, I will be double dipping for sure.
Movie Review: Very Impressive
Summary: 5 Stars
Big fan of kiss for many years, first concert ever attended was in 1984. I've always liked Pauls songs a bit more over Gene's.
Bottom line, put make up on the House Band and tour with them! This was a great show, sound quality always helps and this dvd sounded really good. The lead guitar player is amazing! he can play any solo to a tee, but its much better when he plays it 80% to the original and then goes off and does "his" thing with the rest.
Paul sounds great! and is pretty much concentrating on putting on a good performance and not too much about the antics he does with Kiss, although a few come out here and there.
The song selection was overall really good, could have done without one or two if his choices and would have love to have heard All hell's breaking loose, Exciter,or Creatures of the night.
I heard Pauls solo cd. live to win, and thought it was just ok.. but after watching this show, I gave the cd a 2nd chance and it's growing on me,, I did purchase the live cd.
I highly recomend this dvd to any Kiss fan, and Stanley fan, and any fan of great live rock music.
