I have lived most my life with chronic inflammation and constant pain with immediate diarrhea.

It's always push and pull with a record company.

Star Anna is an American original. She sings from a place of beauty that takes me to a higher place.

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

There's Eddie's conviction and his lyrics and his ideals, and he can just rock straight out. His vocals are incredible. And we all are really competent musicians.

Other bands gave us lip service, but when it came down to it they kind of backed off. That was a little disheartening. But I respect them. That's their business.

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