Gene Simmons spent decades one of the most notorious womanizers in rock, which is why fans were shocked when the Kiss bassist married his longtime girlfriend Shannon Tweed in 2011. During a recent appearance on the Steve-O’s Wild Ride podcast, Simmons explained why he finally decided to give up his philanderous ways. “The first 29 years of Shannon’s and my relationship, we were unmarried. And I was doing anything you could imagine somebody who didn’t care about anybody else who was completely self-absorbed, arrogant and… You know, ‘Where are you going?’ ‘Where am I going? Who wants to know?’ T...

Geezer Butler says he and his Black Sabbath bandmates felt a sense of shock when they watched Kiss for the first time. It was 1975 and Gene Simmons and company were out opening for Sabbath on their U.S. tour. During a recent conversation with Rock Cellar, Butler admitted his band was taken aback by the theatrics of their opener. “Kiss was the first band that ever used stage production,” the bassist explained. “Up until Kiss came, bands like Black Sabbath used to just go on and plug in and play. Kiss was the first one to use pyro. You’ve never seen that. I mean, the shock of that. And they were...

Paul Stanley admitted Kiss had put themselves in a difficult position when they decided to preview their avatars at the band’s farewell show. The guitarist promised that the characters to be seen in the future will look far more realistic than those shown on the screen after they’d bowed out in December. Asked on the Allison Hagendorf Show (video below) what the upcoming performances will look like, Stanley said: “Not what you saw.” He added: “It was a double-edged sword because we were showing people the avatars in their infancy. And they look nothing like that – they will be mind-bogglingly ...

You can see the video below. “It was a thrill to rock ‘Breaking Madonna’ with the Wild Things on top of a bus,” Thayer declared. “It doesn’t get any crazier than that! From the first minute I hard them play on the Kiss Kruise, I knew they were the real deal.” The song comes from the Wild Things’ new Friends With Benefits EP. The record is well named. In addition to Thayer’s appe...

KISS‘ Gene Simmons thinks playing a bass guitar with a pick is better than playing one with fingers. The topic of finger-picking is a divisive one amongst all types of guitar and bass players, with many either being for or against it. For some, it’s helped them develop a unique playing style, and for others, it’s just a nuisance. There are also some who’ve dabbled with both techniques, such as the late Jeff Beck, although he mostly stopped using picks in the ’80s. Simmons argued that when it comes to playing a bass guitar, though, playing with a pick helps a live crowd hear the notes better. “...

Bruce Kulick said he was all in favor of Kiss continuing in an avatar format – but accused his former colleagues of “dropping the ball” in the way the plan was revealed. After playing their last song at their farewell show in December, the musicians left the stage and a video revealed the band’s plans for a future as computer-generated characters. In a new interview with Chaoszine (video below), Kulick emphasized his regret that the farewell concert hadn’t featured former members in a bigger way. “They really missed making a better feel-good evening for everyone… it was much closer to every ni...

Kiss‘ first live album not only saved the struggling band’s career, it made them superstars. So it makes sense that the group has released many more live albums since that time. By early 1975 the facepaint-wearing foursome had built a reputation as a must-see live act, with a bombastic stage show featuring pyrotechnics, levitating drums and bassist Gene Simmons‘ fire breathing, blood-spitting stunts. The only problem was that not nearly enough people were buying the group’s early studio albums, which didn’t convey the power and energy Kiss was capable of unleashing onstage. With the band and t...
