      Kiss was the first show for me , I was 8 years old . however Gene completely shifted the way I feel about the organization . There is no kiss army .it's all about his fat demon belly .his appology is merely ego driver . Gene can barely stand himself . His appology means nothing . He's been so fortunate in this life . No respect for himself . How can he have respect for others . Gosh it's no wonder he was amazed that someone took interest in his art .he's a insecure wanna be Demon who has been hiding behind makeup and this is not an attack . Personally . I has an incredible kiss collection and will be giving it way to whomever .I want nothing to do with these clowns . Good musicians , good people don't treat others that way .let alone themselves.i want nothing to do with any mundane KISS army .have fun wasting paint Gene . Your the one who impersonates a stupid demon clown . Your probably deep down pissed cuz Dave gets more pussy then you .
      I don't usually post this stuff .
      But I'm giving away all my Kiss collection .

    I first heard Van Halen on WABX radio when Gene Simmons was guest DJ for two hours. He talked about this great new group named after two brotherswho were going to release an album soon. He played Running With The Devil demo. I thought it was great. Gene pushed and promoted the band when nobody was listening. Van Halen couldn’t get arrested with a gun for a long time. We can literally thank Gene for a big part of the bands emergence.

      Van Halen couldn't get arrested with a gun? What kind of shit is that? It's bullshit. Van Halen didn't need self knighted "rockstar" Gene's help. They were playing the Whiskey A Go Go on the Sunset Strip not in somebody's garage in the San Fernando Valley. Gene didn't see an up and coming band that needed a helping hand. He saw dollar signs and figured he could get his hands on some of them.

In his prime DLR was the best frontman in the world!!! But those days are long since pasted. Gene was brutal in his honesty but it is the truth. The same can be said of Paul Stanley.

    Gene is right about Dave. In the rock and roll world no one ever became as big as David Lee Roth in front of Van Halen. Not Plant, Mick. Ect.. he was the shiniest front man of any Rock act in history. David Lee Roth. Check out Van Halen live in Vancouver. The crowd goes crazy at the beginning of the show with the spotlight on Eddie and then Dave comes and jumps out from behind the drum riser and the decimal level is off the chart. he was a star bigger than any other.

    I sincerely hopes that this brings this matter to resolution , and that peace and good will is re-established between them. After watching DLR's retirement announcement, I can't help feeling that he sincerely believes that he is going to be joining his band mate Eddie Van Halen sooner rather than later. This scares me - people who believe that have an awful tendency to bring forward their passing - it is like the heart and will gives up, and their body and soul departs soon afterwards. As much as I and his many fans and admirers around the world sincerely do not want that to happen - none of us knows how much time we have. Life is too short to spend on petty BS. As John Edward says - make sure that you communicate with, appreciate and validate the people you love in the here and now, so that you are not needing a medium to tell someone that you love them later!.
