I don't see us as a big media gimmick band. We don't have a cultivated appearance or anything like Kiss.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
We were perceived as a post-grunge band.
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.
I can't believe we've got away with becoming this huge band. And we still haven't done anything I think is that good yet.
We've never been a religious band, but the media wants us to be.
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.
You know, with bands like Kiss back out on the road and Aerosmith coming out, we are going to be a band like that, in the sense that it's a big rock band.
In a lot of aspects it's cooler that we don't have a lot of really overly famous people in the band.
We're not aware of fame itself, we're not that kind of band.
A band is not a democracy: It's show business.
We're a pop art band. Not a pop band.
