I have to eat in a way that's good for me.
But KISS inspired me personally to pick up a guitar and go for it.
Its extremely important to have a loyal fan base and be receptive to them.
The average life spans of many bands are not that long, up to five years if they are lucky.
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.
My life would have been different without Paul Stanley or Ace Frehley. They would have to be the greatest on my list as an influence to my life at 11 years old.
