While discussing how he handles disagreements with his bandmates during his recent appearance on the podcast “Steve-O’s Wild Ride!”, KISS guitarist Paul Stanley addressed Perry Farrell and Dave Navarro’s recent onstage fight.
“Cardinal rule. You don’t hit and you don’t bring your problems on stage,” he said. “You leave your ego, well that’s more difficult, but you leave your anger and your resentment at the bottom of the stairs. We would go on stage and have a great time sometimes playing and then walk off stage and not be talking to each other. The audience doesn’t deserve that. The audience paid.”
He continued: “It goes back to that same philosophy of being the band we never saw. People get one chance to see you possibly on a tour. It doesn’t matter about last night or about the night after, that’s their night, and for them to see you not interacting with your bandmate that’s kid sh*t. That’s disrespectful to the people who paid. There were a few times where there were two people who wouldn’t be talking to two other people. Go up on stage and rock out and have a great time. Then you walk off stage and you don’t have anything to do with them, it’s your job.”
