I played in the Kiss tribute band Alive (from Canada) and we did some shows opening for Kiss on the convention tour. We also helped load in and set up the displays in couple of the cities on that tour, when local hired loaders failed to show etc. In doing so, I got to unload and play Paul’s mirrored Iceman and black Flying V…as well as wear his fireman’s helmet (used during Firehouse)  from the 70’s. A huge thrill, to be sure.

Your research and delivery is impeccable.

Now that was concise ! Love it. The small stints here and there .

Wow man...this is a true jewel in the rough of a video. Thank you for making it!

Wow! The level of detail here is stunning! Thanks for making this, I really enjoyed it.. and safe to say, I will re-watch it countless times.

I am forgetting my source, but learned that the black Gibson flying V with the white pickguard is the same one with the mirror pickguard. Paul simply didn't use the neck pickup, so he replaced the pickguard, which coved the neck pickup cavity. I play guitar today because of the guitar. Paul played it on the Paul Lind Halloween special in 1976. I was hooked.

Son! You did your homework! Awesome video.

The Fireman is a one-of-a-kind custom-made guitar that he played during 2019 to 2021 for God of Thunder, Psycho Circus and Let me go Rock'n'Roll and it was gifted to Edge's and Bob Ezrins Music-Rising charity and then auctioned.

We need this in a book!

THIS is why YouTube was invented!!
EXCELLENT WORK!!

This is so fucken awesome! I seriously didn't think I'd be this interested and entranced with this kisstory of guitars played by Paul. You've done an amazing research job!

Exceptionally good video, Sean! Thanks for sharing your research!

I touched and strummed one of the mirror Ibanez backstage at KISS in London's Wembley Arena. I had an original Ibanez PS10 I bought around 1979 and live to regret selling it 😳

I miss the days when Washburn was a titan in the guitar industry. They used to have so many signature artists, and some of the coolest guitars imaginable. Nowadays, all they make are Nuno’s signature guitars and their strat rip-offs.

That was really interesting content ! I can see how much love and dedication you put in-thanks!

I can trace my love of hard rock/heavy metal to Paul's rhythm guitar on the S/T album. That crushing guitar is my baseline.

Dude, your kiss content is on point!!!

Can’t believe you made me watch the whole video from start to finish. Great job!

I have some info on some Paul Stanley guitars  ,  but will have to post later because of time constraints .

Great video Sean...keep up the great work.
