But I have to tell you that Peter... We were all untrained musicians.

Peter played by feel and didn't play by...

verse, bridge, chorus ideas and didn't quite understand that because he was not a songwriter.

He didn't play a musical instrument.

Drums are percussive, not musical.

So I'll never forget, however, good, bad, or otherwise, Paul's out there putting on his Southern... All right, y'all, we're going to do a song now.

It's called Strutter, and it's good.

You know, he's talking about a girl walking down the street...

Gene Simmons | The Magnificent Others with Billy Corgan

You know, and he's doing that thing, and I'm hearing, psst, psst, psst.
