Gene Simmons said to me recently, \u2018Look, I\u2019m done. Come December it\u2019s over.\u2019 And I go, \u2018Well, you know, these farewell tours go on for years and years now, right?\u2019 But Gene was very serious and said, \u2018Not this time. I promise you that come December, Kiss as we know it is absolutely done.\u2019 The guys in Aerosmith are saying the same thing, as are many other bands from my era. But none of that occurs to me. It\u2019s never been a thought that I\u2019d retire. I feel great, and the band sounds great. I\u2019m 75, but I\u2019ll be up there at 90 if I\u2019m still in good enough shape.<\/p>\n<p>Alice goes on to cite the Rolling Stones, who are still active and as relevant today as ever they have been, as his inspiration. \u201cI\u2019m looking at Mick Jagger as the prototype,\u201d he says. \u201cMick still does three-hour shows and the soundcheck. So if Mick can do it, so can I.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>You can read our 16-page Alice Cooper special, together with many other fascinating stories about Deep Purple, Paul Rodgers, Ronnie Dio, Europe, and more in issue 40 of Rock Candy Mag.<\/p>\n<p>For more details visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rockcandymag.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.rockcandymag.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>ABOUT ROCK CANDY MAG<\/strong><br \/>\nRock Candy Mag is a 100-page, full-colour bi-monthly rock mag, created in the UK.
