  DECEMBER 2004 Q&A With Tommy Thayer!

  Question #1 Do you as a guitarist find that KISS songs have a limited amount of room for solo improvisation?

  Question #2 I was wondering if Tommy has ever been approached to be a guest at a KISS expo, and would it be something he would consider doing in the future, if time allowed.

  Question #3 Tommy, can you describe your relationship with the other band members? Is your relationship mostly business with one, friendship or musicianship with another?

  Question #4 Where have your travels taken you this past month off?

  AUGUST 2004 Q&A With Tommy Thayer!

  Question #1 What is your favorite KISS song that you haven't played or at least know that KISS has never played live before?

  Question #2 Who has your old job now that you are the Spaceman? Who sorts old KISS photo files, manages the tour, etc?

  Question #3 I recently saw the band for the second time with you on stage. The first time around, I thought I was watching Ace, I really did. This time you were undeniably your own man. Was the evolution natural?
