If it were my band, I would run it MY way. If I wanted to act in a couple movies and maybe not pay so much attention to my current album, that's MY business. Donald Trump cares not about the opinions of some of his hotel customers. That's what it amounts to. While all fans have their opinions, myself included, none of us are entitled to steer the band.
KISS fans take that to heart, and it goes to their heads.
When I go to a KISS concert or convention, I hate to say this because we're all there for a common love of the band, but I hate almost everyone there. That is such bull. KISS gives us what THEY want to give us and we just happen to like it. You would be escorted to the door. Gene gets off on toys and action figures.
