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

I am constantly amazed at their support over the years.

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

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.

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.

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

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