Gene Simmons is a marvelous, talented huckster who doesn't have a clue about music -- though I can't denigrate him for his so-called "success." :whatever:
But he's spot-on about Barry The Chump.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious to anyone with two brain cells and no stars in their eyes.

Any man that trashes KISS ain't no American.
Can I get a hell yeah? :fuelfire:

BTW, Gene has ALWAYS been a Conservative. I don't know why he insinuated he voted for Zero.

He didn't insinuate. He did vote for Obama. I heard him say that on more than one show.
S'alright, he knows he messed up and all of the work he does for the Wounded Warriors Foundation makes up for it.

*sigh*
KISS is to music as Obama is to truth, justice, and the American way.
But they made a lot of money. As did Obama.
I will give Simmons credit for being a master huckster. He whores himself better than Marilyn Chambers ever could. :whatever:

Gene is a brilliant business man, he is no more a Huckster then any other person that gets an idea and runs with it.
What an idea, money to be made in the music industry but had to figure out how to get past the issue of talent and not work his butt off for 10 years hopping to make it to the big time.
As I understand it the very first time that Kiss played in public was at the Garden in New York City after 6 months of publicity that must have cost a fortune. The outlandish costumes, the big deal of never being in public without the makeup, lots of intrigue and mystery here, his use of pyrotec, much like Blue Oyster Cult, it combined theater and head pounding vibrations that no one had ever seen of felt before. An hour or two of controlled hysteria, no two shows exactly alike, he hit solid Gold.
For over 30 years he managed to keep the band fresh, interesting, ----then for same reason the band decided to abandon the makeup and it lost it's mystique, fortunately they realised the mistake and went back to the makeup-----almost Kabuki Theater.
Born and raised in Isreal, being part of the lands defence league at a young age, educated in England in business-------Gene is a man who knows what he is talking about, he is now middle aged and has seen it all.
I am a great fan of the movies he has made, allways the bad guy and he does that with real class.
Interesting man, interesting life, one of a kind, few come around like him very often.

From my understand he moved to the US before he was 10 and grew up to become a school teacher. Where did you get the educated in England and the IDF info?

Music does suck but they sold an awful lot of this stuff! Capitalism gotta love it!

He doesn't need to know squat about music. He has this (http://www.blogcdn.com/www.tvsquad.com/media/2010/03/late-night-jimmy-fallon-gene-simmons.jpg)

True Gina, he knows little about music, it was not the music he was selling, it was the total package of making money in a business that had never seen the like of his band. Much like Elvis, Frank Senatra and the Beetles he changed history in the entertainment business.
Mom tells me that when Frankie boy came on the scene his managers aranged to have all the young girls screaming and crying, a first in its time.
Ed Sulivan not allowing below the waist photos of Elvis and his gyrations made his carear.
The Beetles, now they lucked out with the spread of drugs and relied on much at the time tecnology with back up of full orcherestras, had they continued to make music such as "I want to hold your hand," they would been a 2 shot wonder.
Any way one looks at it, entertainment has to change, people get tired of the same oh theater productions year after year.

Gina I believe the subject was about a Mega Entertainment person speaking their mind on politics.
I was trying to defend him, much the way I did Reagan when he ran for Governor of California and
was denigrated by the liberals as a two bit movie actor and worse as an unfaithful husband and rotten father.
Before the libs had good old Jane Fonda and her tribe of Hollywood friends that were responsible for much suffering of our POW's, a despicable human that had the worlds attention.
Gina my generation watched on TV the saga of Patty Hurst,a woman not unlike Jane Fonda another despicable person that turned on family and country, the birth of the Black Panthers, the Black Muslim movement, we soon watched our President with his Dick caught in a wringer, vice President resigned in disgrace as the body count of our fathers and sons keep coming come home to be buried from a crazy Asian war. -----One we lost by the way, no real leader ship and then there was the strange saga of McCain
and how he managed to get released after doing a stint of a Tokyo Rose for the enemy.
Today we have people that are well known for being actors or entertainers in the music industry that have millions of bucks in the bank that have lived a good life in America and put the country down.
What was the name, Oh yes, the Dixie Chicks that went over seas and trashed America, to this day I do not know why they were allowed back into the country-----
Do any of them have family or themselves lived in another country under war.????? BS. Gene Simmons who has an knows the first hand problems of his birth place opens his mouth to complain and he is called a Huckster.
We are all simple men and woman that includes Hillery and Obama and all but a few people on earth that can understand WTF is going on. We will all be swept away by time and tide into new realities that we will as one person will never understand. Can we collectively understand, not likely, Unless on belongs to a faith that requires absolute faith in a leader as we sit waiting for their prophecy's to be for fulled.

With the exception of your babbling about "The Beetles [sic] and Frank Senatra[sic], you're absolutely right in Simmons knowing little about music.
He's a businessman selling a product. Or was, anyway. I'm not sure if his tongue has fallen off or if he contracted makeup poisoning.
Simmons found, apparently, to the delight of tens of thousands of screaming bubble-headed female fans that his tongue was one of the objects of true worship. :whatever:
Hey, if that works for the tens of thousands of screaming bubble-headed female fans, who the hell am I to say "No!"
Just don't call that "group" musicians. It's offensive.

Amen!
I grew up with Kiss and love the fact that Gene loves capitalism. :cheersmate:
