"By contrast, everyone had seen Woodstock: this movie played and played. I saw it late, expecting to just watch this bunch of weird hippies rolling around and Jimi Hendrix popping up at the end. But the performances were great: this turned me on to the Who, Joan Baez, Joe Cocker. The editing was so ahead of its time, so dynamic. Woodstock really made people realise that music isn’t just about hearing it: it’s about seeing it, and getting more of the personalities behind it. About getting more of everything"

"Eddie Kramer once came up to me and told me something. I don't know if he was pulling my chain or not. He said the picture on the back wasn't even from a KISS concert, it was from a Joan Baez concert or something like that. He also said that that record wasn't really live and that shattered my dreams. For me, as a lead guitar player when I was getting into KISS in high school, I would draw Gene [Simmons]'s face all the time. But when I thought about who I was, I was Ace [Frehley]. I was that guy. I loved those songs like 'Black Diamond', 'Strutter' and 'Parasite'."
