I think KISS has always been about celebrating self-empowerment. Celebrating the idea that anything is possible with determination and hard work.
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.
I know life sometimes can get tough! And I know life sometimes can be a drag! But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road And that road's name is Rock and Roll!
The fact that you can't base a coffeehouse on any other rock band is the other rock bands' problem, not mine.
The best part of waking up, is Folgers in your cup!
If I had my way, I'd always be onstage. But I won't always be able to be onstage.
I've seen myself do stuff on stage that was pretty amazing. I think that would be true for any athlete. Any top athlete will see something that they are very proud of. All my injuries will attest to the fact that besides being a musician, it comes down to being an athlete.
There's a difference between standing up and telling people what you're planning to do and standing up and going and accomplishing something.
I was a chubby boy. My pants used to wear out in the middle, and it was because my legs used to rub together. I wasn't obese, just chunky.
I was lucky enough as a kid to spend most of my weekends at the Fillmore East. On a great night, that was like a Holy Roller evangelical church.
When rock roll is done with that fervor, it's close to gospel.
You're at your best when you don't know what you're doing.
Anybody with money can put on a KISS show, but they can't be KISS.
The things we sing about are timeless. Political affairs and social situations come and go. But if you're singing about empowerment and not playing by the rules, you can sing about them until you can't sing anymore.
