Fig on his work on the two KISS albums, 1979’s Dynasty and 1980’s Unmasked: “They never said play like Peter (Criss, original KISS drummer)."
On KISS: “All I pretty much knew about KISS is that they were a big poster on the side of a bus in New York City."
On Ace Frehley's 1978 KISS solo album: "It captures such a spirit in time. There's nothing on that record that is cringe worthy to me."
