Gene Simmons

What do we think of this now elder statesman of Rock? Never paid much attention to any of them as far as personal lives but always figured he was a shit.

Late to the party as always I saw some of his reality show and thought he came across as a good father and far more good humored than I expected. Not sure how his partner put up with all the infidelity for years but she knew what she was getting into, I suppose.

Kudos to him for no drug or alcohol problems.

I thought she was very good in her two-part guest spot on Murder, She Wrote as mystery writer Eudora McVeigh.

Respect for anyone that can pimp themselves out as much as he has with KISS.

Their kids seem very normal and grounded.

Totie Fields outed Simmons as Jewish in 1974 on the Mike Douglas Show.

Probably has syphilis.

I really hate Gene Simmons. As in, I won’t listen to KISS, I avoid anything where he’s mentioned. It’s visceral. And weird. Because I used to watch the show he and his family were in and liked it. Maybe it was the Terry Gross interview and everything that followed-he’s sexist, a serial cheater, arrogant, etc. But so are most guys in old rock bands…but something about him just really, deeply irritates me.

I saw him treat Cher like crap in a bookshop.

He admits to being an arrogant prick but like most men he mellowed out with age. He and Shannon seemed to have a fairly normal "marriage" and came across just like any other couple.

Racist against non Jews, essentially.

r11 It's not true, they had been accused of antisemitism before. But, let's see what you have to say...

His mother’s story is here. Gene knew almost nothing of her past in Europe. She never told him.

Wow, Totie was a DLer with her facial expressions (eye roll at Gene). She was Jewish as well, birth name Sophie Feldman.

His leaked sex tape was so cringeworthy. He left his socks on, the girl wasn’t wet or into him. He’d try to kiss her and she kept turning her head away while chewing gum. It was mechanical—him to get off and her bragging rights. If I recall correctly, Foreigner was playing the background.

He didn't smoke, drink, or drug. He was all about the money. Names our Miss Ross as being one of his three great loves.

He’s a piece of shit who thinks he knows it all. He also said that Adam Lambert should have stayed in the closet and should have kept his sexuality to himself (mind you this is the guy who has bragged about fucking countless women).

Can’t stand him.

You may not like his music, but you have admire his ambition.

Born Chaim Witz who spoke no English emigrating to the states to become one of the singer if the biggest rock bands in the world.

Take that Hagdonna!
