KISSFAQ.com has conducted a lengthy interview with drummer Eric Singer. An excerpt can be read below:

"Gene (Simmons) and Paul (Stanley) at the end of the day are my bosses. But it's not like a typical boss situation. Most people don't hang around with their boss and travel with them and do anything socially with them. Like I called Paul yesterday to talk about watches because we both like watches. We talk about stuff that has nothing to do with music. And most people's relationship with their boss wouldn't probably be that way. It's a unique situation we have, the relationship between all of the members of the band. I look at Gene like an uncle. I know it's kind of funny because he's only like eight years older than me. But he's almost like a father figure."
