Gene Simmons Talks Trash

Gene has the guts to say what most of us are thinking.
I too want women to look and smell good. I too would knock the crap out of anyone who tried to burn the flag around me. And I must say that U2 and the Rolling Stones don't sell the stuff that KISS does because they CAN'T! Who the heck wants a U2 action figure? Most rock stars would like to think that they are "artists"...but most of us know better. They are in it for the money - just like all the rest. If not, just ask them to give up their millions to save the whales, promote world peace, or just give it all to fight poverty. Ask them to give up their limos to combat global warming. They'll laugh you out of town!
Face it - if you had what Gene has, you would be acting (and thinking) just like him.

I agree with some of what Gene said. I'm going to ignore the statements made by the ignorant fools who put down Gene and just state my post.

I don't agree with him saying that men don't want to get married. Most men do--but to the right woman, not to someone who will treat him like a house pet, bank machine, or fashion accessory. I think he may find that marriage can be a wonderful thing, so long as you marry the right person. I mean, after having sex with over 4,000 women, don't they all eventually become the same? Besides, the real reason why most rap artists don't rap about marriage is because they think of women as bitches and hos, not as decent women. And why not have a woman you can read a book with who is also sexy, wears stiletto heels, make-up, and perfume? What's wrong with having beauty AND brains?

I agree that there are no new bands that can be called rock stars. None of them can hold a candle to bands like Aerosmith, Black Sabbath, The Beatles, AC/DC, or KISS (to answer the ignorant question of Aldo in post #4). I agree that flag-burning anti-war protestors are ignorant scumbags who should be beaten with a baseball bat--especially those who mistreated our soldiers who fought in Viet Nam. I agree that Americans are indeed spoiled, because they just don't know how good they have it here. I agree that we need to wipe out the murderous scum in the Middle East who are Anti-American and anti-Israel. And one only has to read the Old Testament to see that the Jews didn't survive by being anti-war protestors. They survived by being mighty warriors and fighting for their lives. If you are a pacifist, then you cannot complain if your family is killed by an enemy. Even John Lennon would have fought for his family if he deemed it necessary for their survival.

Wow. Whether or not you agree with him, you don't need to criticize the band. For the genre, it was great music and KISS has a huge fanbase, far bigger than that of most bands. Like it or not, they acheived rock star status long ago.

All he's saying is there's no rock and roll left in today's "rock." It's just cookie-cutter bullshit.

Gene is THE Man! He knows what he wants, he knows who he is, and doesn't give a $hit who thinks what of him. He is my hero! Go Gene! Go KISS! Ps: I hope Paul Stanley is doing fine and continues to not have anymore problems with his heart!

Kiss is way behind a LOT of bands in gold recordds besides the Beatles there's Sinatra, Elvis, Billy Joel, Bob Dylan, Elton John, Aerosmith, and the Rolling Stones just to name a few.
Don't believe Gene's BS.

GENE AND THE NUGE ARE THE ONLY "GOT THEIR CRAP TOGETHER" ROCKERS OUT THERE. THE REST ARE A BUNCH OF WEENIES WHO HAVE NEVER TAKEN RESPONSIBILITY FOR THEIR ACTIONS. GENE AND TED DO THAT AND TELL IT LIKE IT IS. ROCK ON!!!

u2 sucks, gene is a good man & great business person.

GENE HAS EVERY RIGHT TO VOICE HIS OPINIONS

U2 SUCKS, I LIKE GENE & THINK HE IS A GOOD PERSON & EXCELLANT BUSINESS MAN.

If you have ever watched Family Jewels, you would know what a good person Gene Simmons really is. Together Shannon Tweed and himself are dedicated parents of a son and daughter. Yes some of his comments are stretched a bit, but they are his opinions. You have your opinions too though.
