My life has been a roller coaster ride, but somehow I've always been able to land on my feet and still play the guitar.
One of the greatest gifts I've ever gotten is my daughter.
I can't even read notes. But I can teach someone how to make a guitar smoke.
I went to my friend's house one day, and he had an electric guitar he had just bought with a tiny little amp. I turned the volume up to 10 and I hit one chord, and I said, I'm in love.
Finding a good band is Iike finding a good wife. You got to keep trying till you find the right one.
I'm the kinda person, you gotta fight for everything you get. You gotta believe in yourself.
I asked my daughter when she was 16, What's the buzz on the street with the kids? She's going, to be honest, Dad, most of my friends aren't into Kiss. But they've all been told that it's the greatest show on Earth.
I don't like to practice; I like spontaneity. When I don't play guitar for a week and I pick it up again, I play better.
I have a lot of diehard fans. Ace Frehley fans and Kiss fans are the greatest fans in the world.
I'll get up there and I'll do my guitar solos in one of those space outfits.
I'm just a kid from Bronx who got lucky.
One thing I love to do is produce. I've produced a couple of bands. I mean, nothing ever really happened with 'em, but I enjoy getting a young band into the studio and guiding them, and making them feel at ease.
Every time Paul and Gene use my makeup, they have to pay me a royalty check. I think they changed the makeup so they didn't have to pay me.
A lot of times, I played bass on songs. Gene plays guitar on some songs.
It's always good to walk in a room and know everybody kind of looks up to you because I guess I've earned it.
Once you come and see Kiss, you either love us or you hate us.
I eat, sleep, and drink my character. It is my fantasy to go to another planet.
Whenever I start to really think about what I'm playing, I may play it better musically, but the feeling isn't there.
I don't see this planet being... they're talking about how they're turning around the environmental problems here, but I think it's already too late.
I think the fans really wanna hear the songs the way they sound on the record.
