My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I've always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.

That's what Kiss is all about - not just music, but entertainment, y'know? We're there to take you away from your problems, and rock and roll all night and party every day for those two hours you're at the concert.

I'm just a kid from Bronx who got lucky.

A lot of times, I played bass on songs. Gene plays guitar on some songs.

By the time I'm 40, interplanetary travel will be common. Nobody will want to talk to me at that age, anyway.

As long as I know what key the solo is in, I try to kind of empty my mind and not think about anything. I just play without thinking.

I asked my daughter when she was 16, What's the buzz on the street with the kids? She's going, to be honest, Dad, most of my friends aren't into Kiss. But they've all been told that it's the greatest show on Earth.
