[@bobmilin]

Gene will not come to your house for $2,000 dollars he offered that for $50,000 and for some reason he decided he did not want to do that anymore. So what he does is he picks a location and tries to get as many people that live in the area that bought the set and you meet him there not at your house. For example I live in central New Jersey if I bought a set Gene would probably be in a town up north by NYC and would probably have around 50 people that live in the area that bought the set to come and meet him there. So he would rent some large conference room at a hotel and all the people would show up to get their set and meet him. He is not going to meet you one on one at your house not for $2,000.

Regardless though you really should learn about recording volumes.

[@russkate88]

Even Paul said he's nothing special when it comes to business. In the eighties he was being carried by all the other band members. He contributed next to nothing worthwhile musically to Kiss and basically took credit for the work of everyone else. If it wasn't for the other guy's, he would have flopped back then and probably made a career flipping burgers at Mc Donalds. Kiss would have been better off getting another bass player back then and luckily Gene was a co-founder of Kiss, because with his attitude, he would never have lasted as long in another band.

[@MrBassxtrm]

@@russkate88 lol!! You clearly are NEITHER a musician NOR a business person... His contribution to the music of the band is a lot. And when YOU are worth 400 mill, you can say he is no biggie . Also, when YOU can play bass in harmony and sing at the same time, then you can say that he is not a good musician. You're just a sour sad person, my friend, who refuses to acknowledge success just because you dislike the man and cannot separate things.

[@russkate88]

@@MrBassxtrm if you think Gene is a good bassist you clearly know nothing about music. He was okay in the seventies, but let's face it, he didn't work on his craft and basically contributed fuck all to the band in the eighties and there were plenty of bass players who would have wiped the floor with him and would have enhanced the Kiss sound of that era. What he did was nothing special and Kiss would have been better off without him. Yet as I said, he took undue credit and enjoyed the fruits of the other guys hard work. If you want to see how much of a self absorbed prick he is, look at live videos from the eighties. When it comes time for Vincent or Bruce Kullick to do their guitar solo's, the camera would always be focused on Gene or Paul. What person in their right mind would defend that? To think that people would want to see him or Paul during a guitar solo? Gtfoh... If I had access to the video footage, I'd re edit it so that Bruce, Eric and Vincent get 70% of the screen time, Paul gets 20%, and Gene only gets 10%, because that's all he deserves. If it wasn't for Paul keeping the Kiss train on track, the band would have died out by the mid eighties. Maybe do your research before licking gene's sack. Also. He doesn't give a shit about his fan's so stop kissing up to him.

I actually don't think the price he charged was THAT bad. I mean, the fact that you get a ton of exclusive songs, and that Gene hand delivered it was pretty cool for the ultra fan. The average diehard fan of KISS probably grew up listening to them in the late 70's/80's, and is now 50-60 years old, and has the disposable income for something like this.

Did that price include Gene staying at your house and having a conversation with you?

[@LarryFleetwood8675]

I don't think so, he's not going directly to everyone's obscure located house but some convenient place so basically you may end up having to travel also...

[@nicholastahan7670]

Or get to use your toilet to deposit a number 2?

[@chrisbee8009]

I’d pay $50,000 to avoid a conversation with his greedy ass.

No one ever has a conversation with Gene Simmons. He talks at you and around your vicinity lol

[@WadeLucas]

This is old. He is not going to Your house for 2 grand. You have to go to a KISS show and pick it up from him

[@TheCassiusMorrisShow]

It says “rewind”... See the title?

[@WadeLucas]

I do see the title. Thx for the douchebaggery. He never went to a house for $2K. He did do a producers vault a couple times but never for $2k

[@ponzo1967]

He's out of his mind, looks like he's been up three days coked out and ready to crash

Doc said Gene has no assistant. He handles his business stuff himself. If something happens he handles it right away. He plays no games when it comes to his money

[@MHeisler777]

Not to change the subject but I love Gene’s shirt.

2:01 So yeah, I ordered the box set to Tatooine 5 years ago and it hasn't arrived yet. Maybe another five years and it will😊

GENE GIVING BACK TO HIS FANS $ 2000 Must of sold out in a heart beat growing up with kiss music priceless to meet him for all the kiss fans out there really don't think he needs the money but to fly too you and hand deliver it

[@hatednyc]

Why is this kid recoding the interview on a handheld VCR? Look at the size of that thing. Youd think he'd know not to stick your mouth so close to the built in mic

[@bigwhopper6501]

Dude gets shit done 😂

[@SN-nh6pq]

$50,000?? Funny when introduced to it the box set was $2000 not $50,000.

[@classic-kool]

How cool is THAT!!!!

[@williamgatesenson]

can you imagine what it would be like to work for him?

[@michaelr.2428]

I was a KISS fan when I was younger. I guess I still am, but there is something about Gene Simmons the businessman I love just as much if not more. Maybe I'm just getting old. Anyway, it is Great watching him do business. He is the same guy with or without the KISS clothing and makeup.

That's class. ❤

[@reidfleming2k6]

I think he sold two of those $50K packages before he yanked it

[@christrudell7966]

I agree with Greg Hamilton. KISS do not force any merchandise on anybody.

[@JoseFuentes-fn3dl]

You know Gene checks all his websites daily. He just got caught lol I bet he didn't send the text message.

Stop putting that ZOOM up to your face, it has condenser microphones and speaking directly into them distorts the sound! 🤬
