I'm just a down-to-earth guy.

I asked my daughter when she was 16, What's the buzz on the street with the kids? She's going, to be honest, Dad, most of my friends aren't into Kiss. But they've all been told that it's the greatest show on Earth.

I just didn't expect an acoustic version of Rock'n'Roll All Nite.

I'm just a kid from Bronx who got lucky.

It's always great playing with other musicians. It's also a great situation where I'm the older guy, I've influenced generations of guitar players.

I'm still shocked when people say, 'You haven't done a studio record in 20 years.' I try to make excuses for it, but the truth is I just wasn't with it.
