Gene Simmons says VH BIGGER WITH SAMMY

[dysfunction]

In a new article from Billboard, Gene Simmons answers a question posted about replacing Ace and says something about VH. Here is the dialogue:
------------------------------------------------------
Q: How do you respond to people who say the band isn't really Kiss unless it consists of the original members: you, Paul Stanley, Ace Frehley and Peter Criss?

A: I used to believe that.

Any rules we have for the band are rules we decide for ourselves. There are lots of bands that have lost members who people might have thought were irreplaceable, but the bands got replacements and the bands got bigger: AC/DC, Van Halen, the Rolling Stones, the Who.

He is a fuckin genius.

Yeah, and he said none of the solo records had any hits. "New York Groove" was top ten. He's a fucking liar. You a fan of liars bro? Seems that way. Pedal your ass outta main.

[hotdog@ a shake]

I still wanna know how certain people still think that VH is bigger with spam...

go to there website and check there stats for album sales...proof is in the pudding for the blind dick snots who love that blob Hagar!!! LOL

He meant there weren't any hits that DLR actually wrote, not covered.

KISS solo records. I was referring to those. Dave didn't cover "New York Groove".

[thefive]

In Dave's book he says that Gene was trying to break up the band before the band made its first album. Calling Eddie all the time asking Ed to make up new solos and riffs for Kiss.

So fuck Ugly Gene. I cannot believe Shannon Tweed is with that guy.
I know I know its $$$$$$$$$$

Or his tongue......

Gene is a salesman first.
He's going to say whatever he has to to get you to give him more dinero.

If you bite on his bait you're a sucker.
So the Who were bigger with Kenny Jones????

Be a gene sheep if you want. Let him tell you how to think. Baaaa

[Panamark]

I think he should only open his mouth when he is onstage..

[Coyote]

Gene can go fuck himself with that bass of his...

I met Gene on the "Hot In The Shade" tour. I won tickets and was put in a drawing for backstage passes. Won those too. So I went.

Someone said, "Hey Gene stick out your tongue!"

Gene's response, "No. The floor's too dirty."

Cocksucker extrordinaire.

Gene's just trying to justify himself here. He's gotta make you believe Kiss is whatever he tells you it is.

He and Madonna are some of the greatest salespeople of our times. Marketing at it's slickest. Watch and learn, but don't drink the water.

Gene is like most other people. They say shit to have something to say. God gave me ears to hear and a brain to make decisions about what I hear. Van Halen with David Lee Roth is Van Halen. Accept no imitations. I even like a few Hagar era tunes. I have the utmost respect for Ed, Al and Mike (or at least I did have till this last reunion), but there is no comparision. When I was young, I even liked a few songs from the Bay City Rollers. That doesn't make them the equivilant of Van Halen. One hit wonders are not Hall of Fame material.

lms...Cool. An honest opinion is always a good thing...

It's like Dave said, "I don't need so much to remember. That's how it is when you tell the truth."
