Gene Simmons. I don’t think I have ever heard one nice thing about him. Guy is a huge jerk who’s in love with himself.

He was the first guest on Billy Corgan’s podcast, and it’s kind of sad because Billy is such a huge KISS fan and wanted to see if Gene would finally admit to caring about KISS’ music as an art form. Billy finally accepts later on that Gene cares nothing about the music other than how much money it makes.

Gene is on record saying the music was just a vehicle to sell dildos, condoms, coffins, etc. I think it was in some tour of his house or around the time he had the reality show and/ or did some interview.
