$immon$ just gave props to DLR on Stern

[lafours]

Howard was talking to Gene about trying to get VH a deal and went on to ask him about EVH..Gene said he continues to be the one of the best guitarists ever but in his prime NO ONE could touch DLR... called him one of the greatest frontmen of all time

[DrMaddVibe]

Gene is THE man!

[Cult of Roth]

Good for Gene! This can only mean one thing though; that giving props to DLR is somehow making Simmons money...

typical response from an asshole like you. if gene said something remotely negative you would hate his guts...did you notice he said 'in his prime"? anyone who can't agree with that statement is fuckin nuts. howard should have asked him about the dave of late...i bet you'd get a less than complimentary but honest answer. gene and dave probably shop for their wigs at the same place...

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

Absolutely correct too. However, he probably thinks he is the best bassist on Earth. That mofo is beyond full of himself. It's also an urban legend that he did 4600 women. Shannon and Gene said that he made it up to really live up the rock star persona.




























Cunt. If it didn't happen, don't say it.

Much less the fake rug you're wearing, Tool.


BTW......Dave's hair looks GREAT! And I still think Gene is an Ass and so does Dave.

Gene is Jewish. Simple as that. When you come from a history where everyone hates you and tries to wipe you out, well, the smart Jews know the best revenge is getting rich. What's wrong with making money? KISS was all about selling out shamelessly and giving the fans a good show.

Do you know why Gene is THE man?

You 2 assclowns don't have a clue!

If it wasn't for Gene...Van Halen might not have been as successful as you want to believe. He believed in them after seeing them and wanted to sign them on the spot, instead he had them cut a demo tape and shopped it. Eventually Warner Bros. heard it. Kiss took Van Halen under their wing and gave them an opening spot (discovering young great talent) like they always have done, because they KNOW what its like to be the underdog. Do your homework. Kiss has been very genorous to many bands.

If you don't like Gene, that's fine but as a fan of CVH you have to tip your hat to him.

For those that think he can't play...

For some reason I don't see Gene Simmons being able to play Battery on bass. However, I will always be a big fan (I hav e a KISS poster framed in my house).

[DrMaddVibe]

I've NEVER said he was the best bassist either. That my friends is reserved for only one man...JACO.

I will credit Gene Simmons as a major influence on me picking up the bass and learning to play.

Of course.... KISS influenced everyone to pick up bigger and heavier shit.

[DrMaddVibe]

PLUS he's THE man for knowing early on that Ed was in trouble and damaged goods.

Ed BEGGED him to join Kiss after Dave left. Gene wisely said "No".

After dealing with Peter, Ace and Vinnie...He knew what to avoid.

[MERRYKISSMASS2U]

I can still name all the KISS members off the top of my head. I read about the EVH/KISS thing in one of my KISS books. I never thought that Lick It Up/Crazy Nights was good enough for Eddie fuckin' Van Halen.

[DrMaddVibe]

That was virtually ALL Vinnie's work.

Gene was busy with Hollywood and the band was in a disarray.
