KISS Paul Stanley Iron-on Patch

Paul's persona in Kiss is "The Starchild." Wearing Spandex and platform boots, Stanley's persona is that of a Don Juan-esque lover, combining effeminate elements with elements of extreme masculinity, rather than mere androgyny.

Although Stanley's voice is generally very soft and eloquent during normal conversation, he uses a specific "stage voice" which is like a "Rock N' Roll Preacher", much like Gene Simmons adopts an animalistic growl on stage for his demon persona.

Unlike most leading rock front men, he gets the crowd to join the band in many of their classic hits and also tends to give a speech or "scripted" story for certain songs (e.g. having sexual encounters with nurses and other women he's met on tour and how much he supports U.S. troops overseas).
