Greece's Rockpages has issued an interview conducted with DESMOND CHILD regarding his entire, illustrious career. Desmond Child talked about KISS, BON JOVI, AEROSMITH and the possibility of doing yet another album with his first band DESMOND CHILD AND ROUGE.

Q: Recently, you wrote a song with Steven Tyler and Joe Perry for the latest AEROSMITH record. Have you listened to the whole album? What did you think about it?

A: "The song is called 'Another Last Goodbye'. You know, truthfully, I haven’t listened to the album. I haven’t even listened to the final version of my song... isn’t that crazy (laughs)? I wanted to listen to it properly and not just put the song on and not pay attention to it. So, with all these activities in my life, I haven’t been able to sit down and listen carefully to the song. I want to concentrate on the song, you know."

Q: I remember telling me that you were disappointed when you read some degrading comments about you by GENE SIMMONS, back in 1992. You were definitely one of the two guys –the other being PAUL STANLEY - that helped KISS make it through the 80s. Why do you think Simmons made such remarks about you and was it one of the reasons why you haven’t worked with them again, at least for a KISS record?

A: "Actually, I’ve been very close with Gene for the first time in the last couple of years. He has become kind of a mentor to me. He advises me in various business things... we are actually collaborating on a new band called THE ENVY on Simmons Records. But in answering your question, at that time I was just someone who Simmons picked on because I was writing successful songs for Bon Jovi and Aerosmith and back then KISS wanted to do exactly the opposite: write a non-commercial album. They were stating in all their interviews: 'we are not using outside writers like those other bands' (laughs). Simmons also said to a journalist that they have put guards in front of the studio so as to keep Desmond Child out (laughs). Come to think about it, that was a compliment. I think about it now and I laugh."
