It just goes back to everybody's attitude about trying to make KISS, and the show, as good as it can be.

My (personal) approach was, "How did KISS approach the records in those days?" I love "Dressed To Kill." That record has a lot of cool songs and KISS riffs. So hearing the cowbell, which was very prevalent on those early KISS records, I thought that was the cool thing to do. To me, it was a tip of the hat to Peter (Criss). Kind of like, Peter used to come up with some cool approaches and styles in the early days. And being a KISS fan, I liked that approach to what they did. To me, I thought I'm gonna bring a cowbell in, and I've used it a few times throughout the record, if you noticed. That to me, is almost like a KISS-ism - if you will - having the cowbell on those songs. It's something that Peter used to do, and I thought that was always very cool. I have to give total props and total respect to the original band and what they created. They formed the sound of KISS. (And) I wouldn't be in KISS if it wasn't for them.
