Metal Shrine's Niclas Müller-Hansen has issued an interview with KIX guitarist Brian "Damage" Forsythe. The following is an excerpt:

Q: What's it like playing in Kix these days? Did it all come back when you started playing together again? Is it just like back in the 80s when it all started out?

A: "You know, the funny part was when we decided to do this, I hadn't like listened to a Kix record in ten years and I got all that stuff out and I started trying to remember it and I was like, 'Oh man, I can't remember!', and I was struggling with it up until the first gig and there were parts I wasn't sure if I was playing them right. As soon as we went out, that first chord in the spotlight hit me and it all came back. It was the weirdest thing! My fingers remembered and it was like I'd never left. But you know what is funny? There are little subtle things that keep coming back to me along the way, like just this last December we were playing some shows and there was a part in 'Blow My Fuse' that I used to do and I totally forgot about it and one night I'm playing it and I just played it and it was like, 'Oh, that's how I did it!'. It's weird. Like after all these years, that little thing came back to me and it's funny because we did a few re-records of some of these songs for people to use and 'Blow My Fuse' was re-recorded and I totally forgot to play that one little thing. But that makes the re-record a little bit different than the original."
