Paul Stanley (1978) Live to Win (2006)  


Live to Win is the second solo album from KISS vocalist/guitarist and co-founder Paul Stanley, released on October 24, 2006. The title track was featured on the South Park episode "Make Love, Not Warcraft", two weeks before the album's release.

Stanley last released a solo album in 1978 (Paul Stanley), which was officially released as a KISS album. In 2007, Stanley was asked to perform at the Granite Run Mall in commemoration of the infamous Black Thursday incident in 1993. Pete Incaviglia allegedly refused to attend the event, particularly since the concert will draw attention to what is largely considered to be the darkest day in the history of Delaware County, Pennsylvania.
