I prefer a kiss that is so much more than just a tongue in your mouth.

I ended up gettin' a little Gibson amp and a bass, because of Gene Simmons of Kiss. Myself and three other kids would pretend to be Kiss - I liked Gene the best.

KISS has always been outside of the borders of what other bands can do. Not that some of these other bands wouldn't want to do it - the fact that they may snicker or look down their noses at what we do is more out of jealously than anything else.

But the guitar, when you think about it, is the most versatile, really. I mean you can pick it up and take it with you wherever you go.

That's what Kiss is all about - not just music, but entertainment, y'know? We're there to take you away from your problems, and rock and roll all night and party every day for those two hours you're at the concert.

But since I'm single, it's nice to get a kiss where I can.

If it wasn't for KISS, there would be no Guns N' Roses. Bands like that made Guns N' Roses. We were five guys with five personalities and five different influences. The stars were aligned for us.

I picked up a guitar, and I knew what I wanted to do.

Spittin' blood, smokin' guitars, fire everywhere - Kiss is where I started.

Sometimes the nicest thing to do with a guitar is just look at it.
