Some songs are just like tattoos for your brain... you hear them and they're affixed to you.

When my father passed away two or three years ago, I didnt listen to music for four days - thats a long time for me.

KISS is Las Vegas entertainment. A musician doesn't need the mask.

Everything is a battlefield. If you fight with anger, you are part of the problem. If you fight with joy, you're part of the solution.

My job in this life is to give people spiritual ecstasy through music. In my concerts people cry, laugh, dance. If they climaxed spiritually, I did my job. I did it decently and honestly.

Blues was my first love. It was the first thing where I said, 'Oh man, this is the stuff.' It just sounded so raw and honest, gut-bucket honest. From then I started rebelling.
