yeah, by most fan accounts, he is a total cocksucker. I think it stems from his insecurity as a musician. kiss is a very basic band and most of their fans are kids who eventually grow out of them as their pallet develops. This guy is barely a bassist with no progression in fifty years.
He's a narcissist. Full blown! Just like Paul Stanley, and a lot of other celebrities and politicians. They love talking about themselves. No one else matters.
@@Unstreetable80 That asshole thinks he's a genius but the LPs before the Live LP- w/fake, inserted applause- were never even heard of in the DC FM Market. Canned, fake applause inserted made the public not think for themselves but go along w/the reaction to anything that was out of the radio- because 'they' are Applauding so it must be good- 'I'm just not hearing it properly i guess'. Cattle to the feed lots- That Guy is worth something like $300M ! More than Zeppelin, et al. Impossible to figure out.
Train yourself to watch UA-cam videos at 2x speed and it'll only take half the time. I spend most of my time watching at 2x. The flip side is that it fks with music videos/documentaries.
@dwaynesmith9482 Have you saw the way stevo does podcasts with people that get less views than him? Gene probably knows what steveos like and give him his own medicine
I doubt the photo album even existed, it's probably another attempt at self fellatio. I met Gene and Paul at an event and Gene was a total ass. Paul was very friendly.
Funny🤣 Informative. I didn't know the Louvre story. And Gene asked Steve o about his parents! Nice👍 His acknowledgement for Shannon is honest: "I wouldn't want to be in her place". He knows how difficult he is. That makes Gene likeable.
Kiss has got to be the most overrated rock band of all time. But I give them credit, they sold their image more than their actual music, which is why we have all the shit music we have today thats so focused on image over substance. Hardly any of their music is being played still unlike other bands from their era, outside of "I wanna rock and roll all night" They're like the brand Supreme, you can get everything from Kiss toilet paper to pinball machines, to caskets. Gene really thinks hes on the level of people like Mick Jagger or Ozzy and hes just not, he was in a gimmicky band that no one under the age of 40 even likes anymore.
Gene wasn’t as rude like people are typing is insane it’s like someone sees a comment and then just wants to jump on board and just agree to be a part of the group. He even liked that Steven went to clown college.
Boomer here. KISS fans were bullied back in the day, in the 70's. There was Steely Dan, Supertramp, Kansas. Styx, Boston, etc... so everyone knew that KISS never measured up musically. It was all about the show. The spectacle. Made them filthy rich. Who cares?
He's an EgoManiac it's no secret but something about his rude demeanor I can see through it and a lot of it is sarcasm maybe a little self-entitled mint but Steve-O did a great job
Ought to ask him what he thinks about Transhumanism/ the melding of humans with tech & living as a digital avatar in a sci fi dystopia. I'm sure Gene would've loved to talk about it. Lol
Did they influence a lot of musicians? Yes. Did they have the talent? Yes. Are they overrated? For sure. Their popularity did not warrant having their faces and logo on nearly everything imaginable
It's not: 'seems like', it was, is, will be going back to RUSH opening up for Nazareth & this idiotic 'band'. It's done indoors so his hair doesn't get blown away & it never grew for DECADES nor greyed oddly enough. The weirdest thing about this jerk, is he's worth more than Jimmy Page- maybe more than Plant! I find that whole thing especially disturbing re the quality of 🎼 available to pick. In DC, (DC101FM) that Brain Child's LIVE LP w/such great lyrics & subjects as Cold Gin, Vodka & OJ, etc- masterpieces of Music did what most 'LIVE' LPs did in DC- introduced to the masses, what sounded like a GREAT Band! 'Hear that LOUD Applause‽ They MUST BE GOOD!' So many Bands were never heard of in the DC, suburban MD, Nor VA Areas- until after the 'LIVE' LP was pushed out: Humble Pie, Frampton Solo, Bob Marley, Foghat, so many different Bands w/LPs out the Station (1 major) refused to play until after the first LIVE LP came out with canned applause exactly like the Live Yardbirds LP that Epic released ('74) after Zepellin hit it Big- but the people who were doing the Mix used applause from bullfighting & oddities from various sources like that. Page bought up the Rights, remastered it's original Tapes w/out Bullfighting cheers & such stupidity & it's available as Y'birds Live '68 (Anderson Theater in NY '68). The idea of pushing music w/LOUDER Applause into & coming out of each/every Song, Comment wasn't lost on the labels & Promo people w/Payola to get to the DJ if not the Programmers is what made the Bands listed above & more seem like brand new Artists- meanwhile Frampton, eg- had 3 Solo LPs to draw from that were NEVER PLAYED- NOT in the DC Area anyway. Sound familiar?
To rich to give a fuck no point in hating or runing your mouth about him or kiss he got to the interview rich and he's leaving the interview rich lmfao 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂 kiss army problems oh and another thing BRING BACK ORIGINAL KISS!💯🍻
Idk what it is but Gene always seems like such a prick and rude
I think it’s due to the fact that he’s a rude prick.
It’s probably because he actually IS a prick
I know what it is. It's him being a rude prick.

This is the most “loves the smell of his own farts” type of guy I’ve ever seen or heard
Gene is so rude. And is being so rude to Steve O.
So Gene is being Gene?
Gene is exceptionally rude and boring
Gene is always a terrible guest.
I agree
Why? Jealousy rearing its head sparky?
Yeah, you all are right. I clicked on the video to watch it, but you know what I’m not now.🤣🤣🤣

Gene Simmons has always acted like a douche and it shows
This exemplifies Steve-O's INCREDIBLE INTERVIEW ABILITY. 🎉❤
Not really steve O just loves kiss
Don't know why people are complaining. That was a darn good interview. Good job Steve o that was awesome. Thanks
Wow a guy worth almost half a billion complaining that he didn’t make money off some unlicensed street art…
@jeannagai5290 it's called trademark
@@juanjuarez3837 its called parody fair use
CAN YOU REALLY CALL YOURSELF A ROCK STAR IF YOU NEVER GOT DRUNK???🤔
I can not watch 19 mins of this.

@@reggiep75 I just meant Gene Simmons. I can’t do 19 mins of Gene. He’s coming off super douchey

@@MrUk742 ya they deserve each other
I think huffing duster and chain smoking while your nostrils are clogged with powder for years and years will destroy your vocal chords
Don't forget sniffing various Hot sauces like Wasabi & Scorpion peppers. Thats gotta add some kind of compounding effect.
It finally makes sense. Steve-O is a clown without make up. It’s actually pretty genius 🤯
Gene is an old drip, not entertaining.
I doubt the photo album even existed, it's probably another attempt at self fellatio. I met Gene and Paul at an event and Gene was a total ass. Paul was very friendly.
Do you have giant boobs for him to look at? If no that's why
"Work is only for Gentiles" - Gene Simmons
His behaviour is completely predictable. The "Chosen" people ladies and gentlemen.
This is a joke. His wife and children are "Gentiles" too.
Funny🤣 Informative.
I didn't know the Louvre story.
And Gene asked Steve o about his parents! Nice👍
His acknowledgement for Shannon is honest: "I wouldn't want to be in her place". He knows how difficult he is. That makes Gene likeable.

Gene had to comfort himself with a throw pillow went Steve-o mentioned lost revenue.

Amazing clip. Deserves more views.
Gene Simmons is the worst
Has a Steven Seagal Donald Trump complex
Gene Simmons wtf? Not the slight respect or common sense to anyone..all his interviews are horrible
I like how everyone is negative ppl
That's Cool
The Simmons love to interrupt. lol
Gene's pants look like they where put together with tire inner tube rubber
Didn’t he get clean around 2015 🤔, 😅
this is bloody brilliant
It truly is
I would love to see that Polaroid Collection. I want to see what the girls look like. It is a piece of History.
Those mic stands look like sawed off shotguns.
best observation
Steve-O is my age and he knows the majesty of KISS in its heyday… sure, kids, Gene is an asshole… but rock stars are assholes, deal with it.
most are not
@@cardhutt you are clearly not in the music industry 🤣
@@lazlodeathray7156 maybe they're just mean to you 😂🤣😂🤣
It really is a dam shame what the activists did to the Circuses.
Scott's got a pretty good Western cowboy 'tache.
He's an EgoManiac it's no secret but something about his rude demeanor I can see through it and a lot of it is sarcasm maybe a little self-entitled mint but Steve-O did a great job
"TWO eunuchs?" Ha!
At least Gene is consistent. Always an ass.
Ought to ask him what he thinks about Transhumanism/ the melding of humans with tech & living as a digital avatar in a sci fi dystopia. I'm sure Gene would've loved to talk about it. Lol
That poor is Steve-o's sister.
screw Gene Simmons 😮 lmao has been
translation "Bill Acoin suggested the clown make up"
kiss=worst band in history
Ace frehley influenced everyone. He is kiss. They have so many killer songs .
Did they influence a lot of musicians? Yes. Did they have the talent? Yes. Are they overrated? For sure. Their popularity did not warrant having their faces and logo on nearly everything imaginable
Go listen to The Shaggs... Trust me KISS are not "awesome" musicians but there's worse.
Said the person that never went to a KISS concert, the greatest music show ever in the history of modern music.
I don't like Gene but this interview made me like him😂
Still was brutally honest and answered his questions. But he was probably looking for a more spacious atmosphere
It's not: 'seems like', it was, is, will be going back to RUSH opening up for Nazareth & this idiotic 'band'.

Gene looks uncomfortable there
i love you so fucking much
Can you tell me what happened to his 3,000 Polaroids? I just can't watch until the end, what a jerk, I was loving his summer tour, but his ego, man...
They probably never existed, like so many of KISS' fables.
I typically loathe Gene Simmons but he seemed pretty cool in this interview.
To rich to give a fuck no point in hating or runing your mouth about him or kiss he got to the interview rich and he's leaving the interview rich lmfao 😂🤣😂😂🤣😂 kiss army problems oh and another thing BRING BACK ORIGINAL KISS!💯🍻
what's he talking about.?..paul had a raccoon design make up for awhile before the star?
