What's that phrase again? Oh yeah: "Shut up and sing."

 

[Bert Notorius]

I was never interested in being a rock star. I always wanted to be Boris Karloff.
Gene Simmons


Particularly impressed with Romney’s business experience, Simmons noted that he thought Romney had the best chance at fixing the nation's economy. “America is a business and should be run by a businessman,” Simmons said.

Of course he does. He's very public about being conservative.

I was at a party once where some drunk guy asked the southern rock band if they knew any KISS. Band guy said "I know you can kiss my ass!"

Sort of summed it up for me.

...he voted for Obama...?

Most southern rock is total shit.

And most of the decent purveyors of said music are dead.

 

[BadGirl826]

Oh good. Maybe he can take that large stick out of Willards ass!

 

[pointless]

Of course he does. He's very public about being conservative.

my understanding of his politics is that he's essentially a single issue voter and that issue is apparently isreal, but i don't know that for sure because i really don't give shit what he thinks about anything. also, kiss sucks.

also also, i'd totally fuck his daughter.

...he voted for Obama...?

He was just a disheartened conservative at the time he voted for him; he didn't vote for Obama because he was liberal himself.

After watching a couple episodes of his show I feel that all my previous assumptions of him were correct. He's an asshole.

I think you missed my point, but that's okay.

 

[doctor_insanus]

Cool. Gene has always been a pretty keen businessman, as far as rock stars go.

He's not a fucking idiot, like Nugent, but I still wouldn't look to him for political advice.

 

[Joeybagadonuts]

Kiss Sucks!!!

The Kiss Army will rise again.

 

[Morcheeba]

His entire "reality" show is/was completely scripted

He bashed Adam Lambert for not hiding his homosexuality on the Howard Stern Show (he mighta been right there - little crumbs here and there, not that godawful album cover)

It took Chelsea Handler to rip him to shreds on her show (with his longtime gal in the audience) for him to finally propose to her

He recently called Rihanna nothing but a crap karaoke singer

Now this.

Hey Gene, go massage the plastic balls on your plastic figurine in your KISS Army trophy room.

You know, I heard that interview and thought he was being a dolt. But reading the transcript back, he actually comes off much better than Terry Gross. He was quite funny and even smart. He just didn't seem to mind if in the service of the joke, he came off as a dolt. She was completely thrown off her game.

The first thing you need -- besides air, which so far is free, and by the way if you went scuba diving, you're paying for air...

Well, maybe, but I got the sense that he took himself seriously, though in service of a joke. Arrogant, like anyone but him was just sort of...not getting it.


Gene Simmons: Don't you love this interview? Tell me the truth.

Terry Gross: Well, I think it's kind of a drag, because you're making speeches.

Gene Simmons: That's right.

Terry Gross: And you're being intentionally obnoxious. [laughs]

Gene Simmons: No, I'm not. I'm being a man.

Terry Gross: That's what I mean. You're being intentionally obnoxious by defining everything that you're saying as being a man.

Most interviewers--especially radio interviewers--kill for subjects who 'give speeches.' The worst-case scenario is the one-word wonder who makes every second of air-time a struggle to extract.

She let her personal distaste for him throw her completely off.

He proposed to Shannon a few weeks later....

The Kiss Army will last longer than I will. Youngling whipper snappers!

The "gold standard" of one word wonders is Robert DeNiro.

I swear his repetoire is 1) nodding grin grunt, 2) exhaling ye-ah-ah (laugh) and 3) smirk.
