I have to eat in a way that's good for me.

The average life spans of many bands are not that long, up to five years if they are lucky.

Its extremely important to have a loyal fan base and be receptive to them.

But KISS inspired me personally to pick up a guitar and go for it.

I love playing with Jeff. That's something I never really say in the press, but he's my favorite bass player. I've played right next to him for 10 years.

The thing about Matt Cameron is he has made us 1000 times a better band than we've ever been. He's such a freight train on drums and such a cool individual as a man that it makes us better as a band, and we are now complete with him.

That's what music has always been to me: a feel. I've listened to the Stones many times and it still makes me have that feeling of joy every time. They are still around and put on a really exciting show. We also give it 120 percent.
