Kathy Valentine Quotes on People (3 Quotes)

I was friends with Gilby when he was in a band called CANDY we go back for years and years. We live in the same neighborhood and we have always been in touch. In 1990, we did a tour together with a bunch of people called THE WILD BUNCH . We stayed in touch and he was actually the first person I asked to help me. I trusted him to be supportive.

How often do you get a rock icon to appear on your record I really like that he is playing on a track that is not anything like a KISS song it is more like a BLONDIE song. He really did a great solo that is in a really different context than people are used to. Gilby and I were recording him and when he did this solo he said, 'Let me do another one.' We both said, 'No, that is the one. You got it.'

A lot of people don't realize it, but I've a lot less success than I've have had success.
