There's Not A Country On

You Can Kiss My Kiss-loving Ass Because Kiss Was Never A Critic's Band. It Was A People's Band.

Music, I Think, Is Best When It Honestly Explores Personal Demons, And It Stirs Around In The Silt Of The Psyche To Find Out What's Really There.

Of Course, Music Is An Art Form, And It's Not All That Competitive. But We Don't Ever Intend To Be The Second-best Band On A Stage At Any Show.

There Are Many Fans Of Hard Rock Music That Have Been Wrongly Pigeonholed As Apathetic. This Music Is Not Music For The Elitist Coffeehouse Culture In Soho. It' S Rock 'n' Roll Music For Kids Across The Land, And I Think That Makes It Much More Subversive In A Way, In That It Has The Form And The Function Of A Powerful, Populist Music, But It Can Carry Very Incendiary Messages.

I Didn't Choose To Be A Guitar Player. That Was Something That Felt Like It Was Chosen For Me. And With That Blessing And Curse, I, Throughout My Entire Career, It's Been My Job To Weave My Convictions Into My Vocation. And Whether I'm Standing In The Streets Of Chicago Or The Occupy Wall Street Or In Madison, Wisconsin, My Job Is To Steel The Backbone Of People On The Frontlines Of Social Justice Struggles, And To Put Wind In Sails Of Those Struggles. And People Who Are Fighting On A, On A Daily Basis, At A Grass Roots Level, For The Things That I Believe In.
