This is the very last album-length download I’d previously posted on my old blog, Post-Punk Junk. I’ve been reluctant to put this one up until now. When I’d originally posted it, it was downloaded 2,500 times in less than a week, and crashed the server of my web hosting company at the time. It was worth it, though!
I promise new posts will return shortly. Been dealing with new job issues — stuff that’s ultimately for the better.
PAUL STANLEY – “PEOPLE, LET ME GET THIS OFF MY CHEST” (197?-200?)
Paul Stanley needs no introduction. Every fucking song at a Kiss live show, however, seems to need one, an inane overly-rehearsed one at that, and some mad genius out there has finally made a CD-length compilation of some of the gems in the Paul Stanley Crowd Interaction canon. A good friend who’s been obsessed with Stanley’s onstage patter for years tipped me off to this one; he’s the same friend who pointed out to me that Stanley, in between songs, sounds less like the frontman for an international megaband than a shrill Christopher Street queen stuck outside a club at three in the morning, frantically searching on the wet pavement for the last few poppers that accidentally flew out of his hand onto the ground.
Paul Stanley – “People, Let Me Get This Off My Chest” (ZIP file)
Enduring all 70 tracks is nothing short of iron-willed. He’s not just a ham– he’s the whole bleedin’ pig. BTW, i know it’s silly to request particular anti-spam words, but “chestwig” would’ve really turned the trick.
Listen! I know, I know everybody’s hot from all that Paul Stanley patter. I feel like I’ve got rock-and-roll pneumonia. In fact, I’m feeling hotter then hell. How am I doin’ so far? I like the taste of alcohol, but I never drink and drive. How am I doin’ so far? Listen! I know, I know you’ll read comments from others on the chat, but only I’m working hard for you. Hello Internets! Let’s call out the doctor – Doctor Love! Woo!
Mr. Stanley seems quite sincere in his admiration for the audience. Kudos to him!
his chest tupe is second only to the one on his head.
hilarious post, thanks!
I’ve been waiting for this one to get re-posted. I’m so glad I can listen to the whole thing. Thanks.
Nice one. I don’t know how I missed downloading this one before.
Would you believe I met the guy that assembled this collection at a Comedians of Comedy show in DC? He got in touch w/me afterwards and told me that a follow up CD is in the works (if not already done by now). If I ever want my wife to leave me alone for an hour (or ten) I put this on and let the good times roll!
Perhaps I’m not sufficiently masochistic, but I was only able to listen to about 10 tracks or so before I removed it all from my play list. Holy shit, this is some godawful, and inadvertantly hilarious, stuff.

Rock on, Dan.
Dunno if I’ll ever get thru this whole thing, but since it’s only tagged Track 01, Track 02, etc. I’ve started transcribing them.
Because I _am_ that kind of masochist.
Xopher -
When you’re done transcribing, will you be posting the transcriptions anywhere?
I got numb about two-thirds through. When / If I finish the massive and massively painful undertaking, I’ll be sure to post a link here.
OK, initially humorous… eventually painful.
I would have to imagine many of the corporate
arena bands had a similar structure of oft-said
cliche, but it’s scary to have them compiled and
presented to the world.
Ah! It’s missing one! A classic from the Edwin Newman special: “Awright! Gonna have a good time! Rock’n'roll for the people! The music makes everybody happy! I wanna dance! I wanna sing! I wanna BE somebody!” LOL!
