He got the money, the fame, had the women 1000 times over, and he's still up there, giving it his best, pushing 80 years old. Personalities aside, all respect to Gene Simmons. This is his drug and he cant get enough.

Totally agree. Dude is gonna be 76 in August and is still rocking pretty damn hard. Meanwhile, I have family members a year or two older who are sadly using walkers and are in & out of the hospital. Gene is an arrogant narcissistic person, but he’s also pretty impressive at the same time.
@TheRegionRatRiderАй бұрын
I thought he sounded better here than on the fairwell tour. Not sure why so many people are hating on this in the comments - the guy is in his 70s and still rocking. Does he sound as good as he did at 25? No, because he's f-ing 75 years old. He still plays his bass in concert.

@MichaelDouglasSkewes3 ай бұрын
@@RockDawg77 No No! Brent has been my friend since 7th grade! His band Wildside was signed and put out their C.D. in 1990 or 91! Most bands signed that late when the big change in music was because of the short-lived grunge thing, where maybe 2 good bands, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden. Anyway, bands like Warrant and my old singer's band WWII and of course, Pretty Boy Floyd, and even my own band Fatal Attraction all signed just too late and the record companies stopped giving them money for tours and promo, all those bands were called write-offs because they were basically tax write-offs by the record companies. I know, I was in a band that was doing pretty good and had sold out every club on the strip and touring North America and we were on a small label and by 1991 we were playing small clubs and it was the end of that scene! So, now that I have just written a small book about this sad end of the Hollywood rock and metal scene! So, that is what I meant. I hope that clears things up!

The average age of his fans is probably 60... so give them a break too. How about we give everyone a break and just enjoy what we get out of life.

This is the opposite of Ace Frehley shows. Gene is an underrated Bass play and singer. Don't know what happened to Ace, but his playing declined so bad, even though he has an amazing band behind him. I feel bad for those guys having to back him up. Maybe Gene should give him a Masterclass for free. Paul has always been my favorite, but I get it after all the years of singing lead, he can't do it any longer, but he will always be the Star Child I idolize. On a side note, Gene's band is incredible!
