Doc McGhee's longtime manager Kiss, revealed the simple logic behind managing the careers of successful bands: invest in what each band does well and make them the best at it.
“[In Kiss] we don’t write songs and try to be Pearl Jam or Rage Against The Machine, nor do we try to be anything else,” he said in an interview with Rob’s School of Music [via Ultimate Classic Rock]. “We do four chords and bad lyrics, and it works fabulously for Kiss. And we blow everything up. And the Kiss collectibles and the aura around Kiss is monstrous. It’s infectious; it excites me every day.”
Regarding the possibility of Ace Frehley finally reuniting with the band for the final tour, McGhee explained that the group “never says never to anything” – something that Paul Stanley certainly follows, as he recently revealed that he “doesn’t rule out” the guitarist’s participation. “Will Ace show up? Of course he will. We hope Peter will show up too. Everyone is invited to the Kiss party,” the manager explained.
