One thing I love to do is produce. I've produced a couple of bands. I mean, nothing ever really happened with 'em, but I enjoy getting a young band into the studio and guiding them, and making them feel at ease.

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

I loved playing the guitar and I knew I was pretty good at it, so that's what I wanted to do with my life.

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.

The bottom line is the Kiss Army is growing by leaps and bounds.

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

I'm the kinda person, you gotta fight for everything you get. You gotta believe in yourself.
