Sweden's Poster-Story web site has posted an interview with photographer Barry Levine, where he talks about his work with KISS and how he destroyed a hotel room and tried to set it on fire with guitarist Ace Frehley in Düsseldorf, Germany in 1976. An excerpt from the chat follows:
Q: Which photo session of yours is your all time favourite?
Barry: I would say my all time favourite photo session was with KISS on the Empire State Building in New York City. That's the one that's in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame and the one that's in the Best Of Rolling Stone magazine.
Q: But the worst of all?
Barry: Yngwie Malmsteen, what an asshole. The biggest asshole I ever met. I threw him out of my studio. He wanted me to shoot him on a throne with all these nude women and I said that's the dumbest idea I ever heard.
