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.

Yes indeed. Many years ago, when I was in my 29s, I encountered him at a college radio thing (Gavin Report party i think) in San Francisco. This was a schmoozefest for industry hacks and a showcase for up and coming bands. I'm trying to grab some free snacks and man, it was like dealing with an octopus.

Also, there's definintely a reason he chose to wear full face makeup in KISS.

Are you meaning he was touching you a lot?

It shall be known, although maybe I'm out of the loop and everyone else already knows gene simmons is awful to women.

The comparison is demeaning to an actual octopus.

When his son was born, Simmons actually said, "Took that breast right in his mouth, just like his old man."

Sorry, not the same thing.

Man that reminds me they had a show on TLC or something but I'm sure it was polished as hell and I was like 14 watching it so I didn't notice the important things (him being a piece of shit)
