There are some people who have stayed with us our whole career, which is pretty cool too.
And we're always excited to expose our music to new people to see if we can have longevity and a long career. It's heading that way." ()
It was by design that we mostly used pictures that you could not necessarily see what was going on, and that didn't really focus in on the band, but instead focused in on a theme.
I think our relationship with Epic had run its natural course, and it happened to coincide with the fulfillment of our contract. We decided not to resign with them." ()
And watching Ed, he's really coming into his own doing some new things onstage I've never seen him do. He's really getting into it, putting 120 percent into the show. We feel comfortable and excited.
My favorite rocker is Go because it is heavy and chaotic.
I feel very blessed we can still have a career making music.
It's always push and pull with a record company.
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.
Star Anna is an American original. She sings from a place of beauty that takes me to a higher place.
I have lived most my life with chronic inflammation and constant pain with immediate diarrhea.
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.
I am constantly amazed at their support over the years.
We also take time to be away from each other to live our separate lives, which allows us to be excited when we come back together to play music." ()
