The great thing about rock-n-roll is you realize the top of the mountain is big enough for more than one band.

Nothing could ever stop Kiss. I've seen the band in down times where critics were like vultures circling overhead saying things like, 'Well, you know it's the end of your career.'

Our audience is young and vibrant; we retain our previous following; we are three generations into it. Unlike other bands that are very demographically specific, who they appeal to and who their fans are, we're the antithesis of that. If you see your younger brother or a parent of yours or a neighbor at most rock concerts, that's not cool but with us and kids, it's a tribal gathering. Whether it's kids or neighbors - they're all part of a secret society.

I tend to fly a bit under the radar.

Credibility is someone else's idea of what I should be doing.

It's a really special night for our fans. It's vindication.

Core strengthening is key to everything. It's not just about the way I look, but about stabilizing my body so I can perform better on stage.
