Actually, she and Gene became the best of friends. He speaks glowingly of her in his autobiography. But my God, "I do. You can't hide the hook!" is such a quick line. Very impressive.
According to Maria Contessa (the woman who designed KISS' costumes) there was a wardrobe mix-up, and two of the same foot boots were brought for Gene that day. He wore them anyway and nobody was the wiser.
The redeeming thing about Gene is that he actually acknowledges being an egomaniac, laughs about going: "Gosh aren't I a bigot!" The worst kind of assholes are the ones who fail to see they're assholes and Gene releases an album called "Asshole" because he knows people see him as being an asshole, with that album he basically goes "Yup, you're right."
Wow im an old middle aged man now in my 50s . I remember as a little boy in elementary school way back in the 70s Gene simmons scared me to death lol . I did see kiss back in the 90s on their so called reunion tour and there end of the road tour saw them twice . Im sure Gene is a nice fellow but i do hope kiss comes to know the Lord Jesus Christ as i do as their personal savior . Hell is a real place the bible calls it a lake of fire Jesus spoke and warned about hell more than he talked about heaven and those people who reject Jesus Christ . None of us are getting any younger Hope kiss figures it out and trust Jesus as there personal savior we only get this life to do it once we die its to late . Just like the gospel of mark says for what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose their soul . Kiss has all the material wealth again none of us are getting any younger and Jesus is the only way to be saved and go to heaven . Jesus loves each of you .

Simmons said she caught a lot of shit for that, even though she herself was Jewish. Simmons wasn't offended, nor did he see any need to be. He said she was a very nice woman, and unfortunately died early. So there were ppl who still could not stand a Totie Fields or a Don Rickles. Unfortunately, the whole thing today is absolutely out of control. Can't say "those people". People are tuned a high string today and I am sure the media loves playing along with that.
Bill Aucoin said to the boys, "Who wants to do the on-camera interview?" and Gene volunteered, There was no preparation for this interview, which is why he comes across as "unprepared" - he had nothing to say, because there wasn't any pre-interview or any coaching by his manager. When you think of it that way, this 25-year-old musician's first time in the interview chair was pretty darn good. Compare this to how PREPARED both he and Paul are nowadays - they always know what to say, how to say it, how to drive the conversation, how to sell their product, etc. He definitely LEARNED from this experience!
Listen to Ace laugh backstage when she says..you cant hide the hook..his laugh...Ha..ha...Haaaa
You can't hide the hook 😂
Her timing was spot on hahaha
Totie & Gene loved each other and were pals until her death
Totie Fields called it!
+theedrstrangelove Totie was onto Gene's phony bullshit like cream chipped beef on toast. That's why she put him in his place.

The reactions on Totie's face were priceless.
