This scum of the earth has somehow found his way into the heart of every trailer trash, middle-aged, female gas station cashier, and thinks that he is just the greatedt thing to ever happen to music. it's not that he makes money, it's how he does it. By being a soulless, merchandise-hungry sellout. oh yea, because we’re really angry that he makes money.

If you rely on people buying your crap to make money, it does'nt make a lot of sense to tell the same people that you only do it because you need a new Bentley now does it? They might just turn on you. Ask any former kiss fan why they no longer spend money on kiss items, and I guarantee that Gene is one of the main reasons. And if you don't understand that logic, maybe I'm not the idiot here.. really?

It's usually their failure that fuels the obsession to become successful. I dislike Simmons too, but that doesn't blind me from the reality that he is good at marketing himself as a product. Sure, he's a whore, but so what? As for your statement, Columbo, about how he would have made more money in the long run, um, what the hell are you talking about? So he would have 100 million instead of 50 million (or whatever the relative figures are)? That is really one of the stupidest statements ever made on this site, and dude, that's saying something.

If he were, he would'nt be so open about his own greed. If he pretended to be in it for love of the music like Paul. he would make more money in the long run. I'll never buy anything kiss related again because of him, and I'm sure there are a lot of people feeling the same way. he’s not a brilliant businessman.

He did'nt invent it, most likely stole it from sister, but he was one of the first to use it He still sucks though From what I can remember, he’s actually right about that.

I'm seeing em when they roll through Atlanta. And to be perfectly fair, Kiss was never about the integrity of the music or not selling out. They put their brand out on absolutely everything and it worked fantastically. But they had more than enough good songs to separate from the endless merchandise. And yea, the new Kiss album is pretty good. Nice little 70's throwback I like Kiss. I’m seeing em when they roll through Atlanta.

Everything he does is calculated to get a response, which leads to publicity, which leads sales of whatever he is currently selling. Simmons, like Madonna, is a marketeer, and a brilliant one. The fact that so many people truly believe his over-the-top bravado and conceit is real just adds to his reputation. Or maybe he is a brilliant marketeer who is also a conceited prick.

So, I suppose he is entitled to do what he wants... I just choose not to support what he offers.
