In response to a recent interview with The Aquarian Weekly, in which Gene Simmons said that he would never work with former KISS guitarist Vinnie Vincent again, Vinnie has issued the following statement to Three Sides Of The Coin:

"I love and respect Gene Simmons like a brother, and have nothing but the fondest of memories working with him and Paul Stanley. Ours was a very special chemistry. We made one hell of a great band, and the magic we made together is timeless.

"I am proud of our work and the songs we wrote that appeared on the Creatures Of The Night, Lick It Up and Revenge albums that became KISS classics, and are staples of their live shows to this day. We brought happiness to the fans with performances and songs that will live on.

"I am appearing in person at the Atlanta KISS Expo to celebrate KISS, embrace their music and our time, and share goodwill with the fans. And for all of the above, I wish both Gene and Paul nothing but the best."
