He has a fortune to his name but won't marry his girl out of fear that she might take some of his precious gold which by the way has no soul or true meaning. he also bad mouths ace & peter criss..making them both seem useless to the band. I saw Kiss in 96..I think..their first reunion tour.I felt the only person who was worth watching was ace.The papers next day also praised only ace who was responsible for that unique sound heard on the 75' live lp.Those are his chops..simple or not, ace has his own style.he was ripped off & angered due to simmons & stanley being too greedy to give them a fair cut in profits.but, thats another story. Bottom line, I like simmons in Kiss..to a point & all based on his past. But, his obvious greed ( in general) is a turnoff for he clearly is rich but the piggy wants more & more..like a greedy DEVIL...its sickening! Oh, & I'm 45 yrs. old. I was a kiss fan when the first live LP hit stores..... gene simmons.A unique man.However, also a crude & creedy man too obsessed with $, just ask his live in mate.

You would put Metallica at the top of this list? Even at the worst moments of the Napster debacle, Metallica never spewed such vile, hateful bitterness as Simmons is every time he opens his mouth now. "Every little college kid, every freshly-scrubbed little kid’s face should have been sued off the face of the earth. They should have taken their houses and cars". For what, exactly? Listening to a Kiss song? I tell you, I own a few Kiss albums, but every time I think of one of their songs, all I can think of is this idiot saying how much he hates his fans. This guy is WAY worse than Metallica. *.* expressed it very nicely. It is quite clear just why Simmons makes "music", and it's not because he loves doing it. "Kiss" has always been such a commercial whore anyway. I hope I can return my "Kiss" casket. ;) Are you kidding me? You would put Metallica at the top of this list?

I think he'd pop an eye out if he ever found out that evil pimply fresh cleaned ppl where out there and having the audacity to pass around television shows w/out "gasp" commercials, all those thieves...what to do... Well Gene, thanks to flooding in the midwest, gas costing $4.00+, utility giants raising their rates, and other items hitting our wallets, I think we all have more things to worry about then if someone has the $$$ to relive the 70's-80's in the style that they are used to... So, who are these ppl that where put out of business ?? I didn't see a single report, fact, statement or study to back up any of those comments... its like watching the old MPAA video that shows how d/ling movies and TV shows where putting hard-working carpenters, electricians, etc, out of a job... but again, no proof.. This is sad, I'm from the same era as Mr. Simmons, but I have moved on with my life... maybe its time for him to do so as well...

But when did this happen and isn't it a little optimistically premature? That would have no effect on music production however, but Gene it wouldn't bother me a tit if u never released another compilation remix or even something "new". John Lennon was cut down in his prime and we had to learn to live with it, and you're not half as good. Ding dong, the music industry is dead!

I remember back when I was in elementary school, half the boys in my classes were obsessed with KISS. They'd have arguments over the proper way to draw the "SS" in the band's logo. I figured they disbanded years ago. KISS is still around? I remember back when I was in elementary school, half the boys in my classes were obsessed with KISS.

It's always been all about money for him.

Kiss has always targeted the mid-teen male demographic - once a lucrative market segment - but who are now the most avid file-sharers.

Way to go, think about this for a minute... Sue a person for hunderds of thousands of dollars for downloading music. Now there's two outcomes: 1) Said person doesn't have enough money to pay you and does something like declare bankruptcy (so you get no money anyways). Now not only does the person have no money to buy your music, they also have no will to buy it because you destroyed their life. OR 2) You can't actually sue them. In which case, you're still wasting money on lawyers. Unless I'm missing something, your losing money either way. The only thing left to be determined with whether you look like douche-bag for wrecking someone's life or an idiot for trying.
