Every time Paul and Gene use my makeup, they have to pay me a royalty check. I think they changed the makeup so they didn't have to pay me.

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

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

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 had a feeling it was gonna work out because not only did I enjoy the music and hit it off with the guys, but I was into theatrical rock and was willing to wear makeup and do anything to make it.

I'm just a down-to-earth guy.
