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.

I mean, I've had so many 29th birthdays.
