KISS Guitarist TOMMY THAYER Talks Working With PAUL STANLEY And GENE SIMMONS - "They've Given Me Great Opportunities In My Life" (Video)

Sarah Abo of Australia's 60 Minutes was invited by KISS founders Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley for a taste of their jet-set lifestyle and to show her how they’ve survived and thrived in a notoriously fickle industry. The career-spanning report - which can be viewed below - aired on June 12th on Australia's Nine and features an interview with the duo, a trip on the band's private jet, Simmons applying his stage make-up, and footage from the band's Paris show.

In a follow-up Extra Minutes segment, KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer discusses the band's success and what it#s like working with Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons.

Thayer: "I've known these guys for almost 40 years now, and I have lots of respect that they've given me great opportunities in my life, obviously. And I appreciate it. I mean, they're not simple, easy to deal with all the time either - nobody really is - but overall, I couldn't be happier, and just to be part of this, and be in KISS and have a great relationship with Gene and Paul for so long."
