Bearing in mind I'm not a mental health expert in any way, he seemed fine. He wasn't highly agitated, and didn't seem out of sorts.

I wished that I could have been down there because Paul actually wanted me to do the tour with him, but then he realized that it just wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be a solo tour anymore. It would look like just half of KISS.

I can't wait to get out. It's been much too long, I don't like being home. I'd rather play. This tour is going to be really big. We're gonna have the biggest show we can have. It's gonna be different not like the old KISS shows.

When we had gone down there you have to remember KISS had never been to Australia. So all the hysteria of KISS that was happening in the seventies was building up in Australia. These kids were waiting seven years to see KISS. I was lucky enough to be there when we went over. We got the key to the city, it was just great.

I think it's a great album, but it came out at the wrong time. We got a bad deal and it was a very weird time. Without getting to into it, it was not the right time to do what we did. When we went into it, I wasn't sure about it and I told the guys that, but once I understood it more, I got into it just as much as everyone else.

You know, who cares about seeing the girls when everybody wants to see the band. That's what's important, KISS is important. I think we look great, and the attitude is there, and I'm real happy with it.

There's no dancing girls. We're kinda like secondary to the thing. It's a story about these two guys that are in love with this one girl and how it unfolds and what happens.

I think KISS fans are so loyal. They want the band to be there and that's the most important thing. If I was cool enough for Gene, Paul and Ace to pick me, then I was cool enough for the fans.

I was in one bar band from 1965 to '69, then I was in another one from 1970 to '79 - a 9-year bar band!
