RockMusicStar.com's Thomas Stanley Orwat Jr. has issued Part 2 of a new interview with KISS drummer Eric Singer. The following is an excerpt:

RMS: I did get to see a 'sneak preview' - if you will - of the KISSteria (Reality TV show) and I got to say that it was very entertaining. I'd have to agree with Paul Stanley, when he said that YOU are actually the "star" of the show. You really shine. A lot fans in the past have always felt like with KISS Exposed or this and that it's always Gene & Paul....Gene & Paul, and they don't see enough of the other guys in the band. So it was very refreshing to see yourself and Tommy (Thayer) getting a lot of the spotlight as well?

Singer: "It's not about the spotlight. Yeah, a lot of times things are more focused on Gene & Paul. Guess what? Guess who's always been in the band? Gene and Paul. Throughout every incarnation of they band, every version of KISS, there's always been the two mainstays. That's the founders and the main writers and singers - and that's Gene and Paul. So it stands the reason that a lot of the time more of the focus will be that way. And if you look at most bands, usually whoever's the the singer, or guitar player, or the writers - the leaders of the band - get most of the attention. I think the press kinda created that and I think managers and the press created to focus on who's like the leaders of the band. Like when you think of THE DOORS, who do you think of? Jim Morrison. You know who the other guys are? Absolutely! But who's the focus and the main person you think about? It's always Jim Morrison. Same thing with LED ZEPPELIN. You usually think of Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. Although John Bonham and John Paul Jones are equally as important, everyone acknowledges that. And like THE BEATLES, everyone acknowledges how important all four members were, but you still think of Paul McCartney and John Lennon. When you think of the famous people or who got the most attention, it's those guys."

RMS: Right. It seems one of the running jokes in the show was about you wanting to sing 'Beth'. Was that something you really wanted to do, or is that something that could be chalked up to the faux reality (of the KISSteria show)?

Singer: "Well you know something? I always used to joke about singing 'Beth'. I joke with Gene A LOT! There was so much other footage that was filmed John - in that time frame down there. There was REALLY funny stuff. There was one time that I took Gene up in a helicopter. Another time, there was this race track, where they have what they call V-8 Superstars in Australia, buy it's basically like NASCAR. I got Gene to put on a helmet and fire suit and get in a car with me and a driver. And this guy (the driver) was racing around the track, and throwing us all over the inside of the car. I can't believe they didn't use any of that footage, cuz there was so much funny stuff, just Gene and I, that didn't get used. Originally, that was going to be a two part show and somehow, it became edited down to just a 1 hour thing. But originally, it was going to have a lot more footage. There was a lot of funny stuff that nobody got to see."
