    I was 12 when I begged my dad to take me to see KISS at the Great Western FORUM in Los Angeles. It was So awesome!! Later on in life I was fortunate enough to meet Gene and Shannon when they were standing in back of me in the concession line at the ArcLigjht Theater in Hollywood! They were both very nice to me when I told him KISS was my very first concert at age 12. Love KISS Forever!!!💋💜💋💛💋💚💋💙

    People underestimate gene because of his sense of humour, but he’s a very mature and serious man when he needs to be, amazing leader as seen on the apprentice. This woman’s intentions didn’t look well with this interview, she doesn’t know how to handle him ! Legend!

    He may be a sexist, but his beaufical wife Shanna, will keep him, under lock & key. I found him to be amusing, especially, when telling of all the women he had had, and could have..I've seen others with his opinions of themselves. Just found him humorous. He's cool ,in his own way, and in his own world. Wish I still had all his posters that once were in my daughter's room, when she was a teenager. I had a fear of those pictures, and was so glad, when I realized, the band kiss, was just a band, and not a evil group. I now, just enjoy, watching him talk..

    he is. i met him back in 2017 and he walked around talking to me about Kiss, music, money, bass, etc. for like 20 minutes. it was surreal. he may play cocky and arrogant, but he is so down to earth and thankful for his fans!

    I watched Gene Simmons on American Idol earlyer this year and they all said great things about him and he gave them great tipes and, I was in a High School Choir at the the time, and even looking at a TV screen I was like "Holy cow no offence to my choir but we should realy take some tipes from Gene Simmons" I didn"t actually say that but it was up in my head but anyways he had tipes for like how to get louder, and now saying that brings back memories from our Tradions concert in December were it was like 4 or 5 maybe even 6 or 7 concerts one after the other and on every single night exept for the last one were we had like 30 to about 25 people I would say and that choir was 30 people, and the next day after the very last concert the other choir during 1st hour was giving the director compliments to pass onto us, and they were saying how well we sounded at the last concert because they couldnt see us from where they were, and the choir director said something like "actually that night they went down to 18 people" and when the choir director gave us the compliments she said something like "almost every single boy in the Bass section had there jaws dropped. LOL.😲😲😲😲😲😲😲 Sorry now that I think about it, it was either 16 or 18 that we went down too.

    5:58 7:01 ehh... gross. Being a “rock star” or whatever doesn’t give him the right to be sexist and to view/ treat women the way he does. I googled him and he has some harassment allegations. That’s not cool.
