I'll share my personal story with Kiss. I live in Australia . Kiss did a tour here. At the time, my 2 year old daughter was in the critical care unit of the children's hospital. Kiss had time to spare before their concert, so with no fan fare or press Kiss turned up in full character and played with the kids. And when I say they played with the kids, the guys got down on the floor and had the kids climbing all over them, I'm not sure who had the most fun that day❤❤❤❤❤

@OhAncientOne Месяц назад

Thanks for sharing ! I hope your daughter got well.🙏 Back in the '70s a friend and I went to see them but they were sold out. On the way back to the car, we saw people going in and out of the building so we walked right in. I was especially impressed by how hard they worked putting on the show as a team.

@BOSSposes if they were told to do that by their lable, management or anyone else, the newspapers would have been informed and camera crews would have been everywhere , at the very least, the camera crews would have been at the entrance and exits.....there wasn't a camera crew, reporter or fans of the group anywhere. Nor did the visit make it into the newspapers . So next time think before you make such an ill informed opinion

This interview gives a lot of insight into why Gene is 'serious' and is the way he is; even if you do not like him as a musician, you gotta respect his consistency, discipline and business-acumen. I think he is a great example for anyone trying to do any business, especially because he applied this business-acumen to an art form which is very hard to do, if not near impossible for a long time and he along with Paul have done it for 50 years. RESPECT.

Sadly, those "alleged humans" run the world today, and make up over half of the US population. The only difference is people are taught to agree with the oppressive nature of today's culture. Simply put, all of our rights in the bill or rights were considered critical by very good and smart founders, to protect us from government control. The all matter, and all should be absolute. If you like humanity, stand up for the original bill of rights as drafted.

My father left Hungary when the Russians invaded, he went to England and later Australia, but 6 months after I was borne in the late 60’s we went back to Hungary, as he missed his mother and family, things were hard, I remember Hungary well, in 1976 we went back to Australia, with one bag between 4 of us, they wouldn’t let us take any money out or even any pictures. The first week I was back in Australia I remember seeing something amazing and scary on TV, it blew flames and had demon makeup on, it was gene, and so began my journey with Kiss, been to many concerts, thank you for a lifetime of great music.

@kathling9txfr 10 месяцев назад

My dad was 157th Regiment, 45th Infantry Division, came over age 18, Omaha Beach., was among the first US troops to enter Dachau. He never talked about the war at all, but he talked about how they received a whiskey ration 3x a day, more if they were not on march. Like many others, he returned to The States an alcoholic. He was career US Army, later did two tours each of Korea and Vietnam. Only by talking with his sister did I ever learn anything about his experiences in WWII. His 90s were spent in a nursing home as he had a long slow death from Agent-Orange induced Parkinson’s. Some of his men he served with in Vietnam visited him in his last year and told me stories from that era. No wonder he never slept.

Well capitalism and democracy have been pretty good to him.

People call him a hack but he's a very interesting, smart guy. Just because he knows how to work the system to his advantage people don't like him.

It was an amazing performance, I was worried the roof was going to come crashing down the stadium was rocking so much from the concert goers dancing and stomping the night away.

I knew who KISS was and had been to a concert in Evansville, Indiana to see them without their makeup and they were great. I had no idea that my adult autistic son would have a clue who they were until we were watching a movie where Paul and Gene made a cameo and they were singing, "I want to rock and roll all night"....he comes out of his room and said, "I love this song, I know this band KISS because they were on Scooby Doo!" He has been a fan ever since and had the opportunity to see them in concert in Nashville Tn. just a few years ago. Thank you Gene Simmons for waving at my son while he was playing air guitar at the side of the stage.

Never been a KISS fan, not since they started but I have to say I am very impressed with Gene's life story, honesty and integrity he is an awesome person and I never knew that. I wept with him.

@elizabethlanders9805 6 месяцев назад

Ditto here. I never got into their theatrical music genre, but I love listening to this man. He is so intelligent and grounded, and his stories are so interesting. I'm glad Piers brought him back for a longer interview. Thank you Piers 😊.

Not a Kiss fan, BUT love Gene Simmons , he is a hell of a business man and a nice guy too! He knows what sells! He was a teacher , and also his mom was amazing. What a story they have.

I have to say I am truly amazed at this interview. Being I am almost 60 years old I was listening to KISS in my teens and into adult life. I have gained such respect for Gene Simmons after hearing this interview and how real, honest and heartfelt he was. Also kudos to his beautiful wife Shannon and how they raised their kids. Blessings and thanks for this eye opening interview.

He and his family had a reality show one time. I don’t remember the name of it. You really got to see a soft side especially with children. I liked it. It’s probably on RU-vid.

We LOVE YOU GENE! I’m a HUGE FAN of KISS! I absolutely love how you explained the music culture! I was born in 73 and the last show I was able to be a part of was in 2020’s “KISS GOOD BYE”. An enormous THANK YOU TO MY BEST FRIEND, NEAL NANCE, for bringing me along. Tons and tons of work and talent! We had an amazing life time experience! The trip itself, the timing, and ofc to get to see KISS on NYE!! We have done a lot. That was the best of the best show for me! Totally unexpected and worth the long journey!🙏💖🙏

Loved this interview . Piers is a great interviewer and very respectful . I learned so much about Gene Simmons . Interesting guy . He really lives life to the fullest .

@blondiebluetx64 10 месяцев назад

Massive respect for Gene. He’s such a great role model, and has a wicked sense of humor. The story he told of his mother and childhood was incredible and has shaped him in to who he is today. I remember when Kiss came on the music scene, they were like nothing we’d ever seen before, so unique and incredibly talented. He’s lived an incredible life, is a smart business man, and doesn’t take his fame for granted.

@roxannemoser 10 месяцев назад

Role model? I bet he regrets his appearance in Decline Of Western Civilization Part 2. This is what I despise about Shannon. She knew Gene kept Polaroids of his "groupies" even after they had children. It was only when the children were approaching adulthood did she start pitching fits about his lifestyle.

@rikkinadir7979 10 месяцев назад

'Role model'? Well, I suppose he is if you believe capitalist ideology and are interested *only* in accumulating huge amounts of cash (by selling plastic images of yourself in that three-chord-wonders band you play in) and f*****g girls young enough to be your grand-daughter...

@rikkinadir7979 10 месяцев назад

@@holland736 Why? Because my opinion isn't the same as yours? Are you a fanboy for ol' Gene? No doubt you still pontificate (to anyone who'll listen) about what a classic album 'The Elder' is...hahaha. Not sure what 'meds' is/are. Your lack of punctuation rendered your comment almost incomprehensible but that's pretty much normal for a know-nothing Kiss fan. Interesting, though, that you didn't dispute my assertions about your boy Gene. We all know what kind of human being he is...and you are very probably exactly the same. Why don't you just retire to the nice bedroom your parents have given you and listen to 'Kiss Alive Vol. 27' as you play with your Kiss face paint.

I’m in my sixties so I grew up hearing Kiss. I don’t know why but I always kind of thought of them as a bit of a joke. I liked many of their songs but never really became a huge fan. Not until recently that I started watching their concerts on RU-vid that I realized how wrong I was. They are incredibly talented and the concerts are just mind blowing. I misjudged them.

My first Halloween costume was a mask of Gene Simmons from Kiss back in 1978. I used to wonder why my mom chose (or let me) wear that lol. I loved the theatrics of Kiss but more than this, I can say, this man is the real deal and I am so honored. God bless his soul and journey.

A dear friend of mine was the late luthier Steve Carr, who built Gene's first Axe bass. He always had good things to say about Gene. Steve was very grateful to have worked for Kiss.

@louieflash7190 8 дней назад

What a wonderful interview. Not the kind of interview with Gene conducted by the rock magazines over the past 50 years. It was about Gene the real person and not the famous rock star.👍

@MrDtrain69 10 месяцев назад

As someone who grew up in the 70's and 80's I've seen many, many interviews with Gene Simmons but I must say this is probably the best I've seen. Gene is a very intelligent and savvy man but his telling of his early years and of his Mother is a fascinating and heart- warming/wrenching one. His ability to articulate his feelings and be honest about his experiences came through more so than other interviews where he comes across as a smart-arse on occasions. I did chuckle when he was talking about bands going on too long but apart from that I thought this was an excellent and honest interview. Piers Morgan isn't always my cup of tea but he interviewed well. Shannon Tweed is brilliant, funny woman.

Gene and KISS are real professionals. Even when the gigs and locations are probably not the best or a bit corny, KISS always show up and give their everything to bring the house down. Much respect. It's not hard to see why KISS has been as successful for so long. For as outrageous as the group is, they are 100% switched on.

@vanitamann7985 10 месяцев назад

I didn't want this interview to end. I love Gene and Shannon! Wow! I was never a KISS fan so I never followed anything about him. He is so interesting and seems to be such a good man. It was so nice hearing about his mom, I know he really misses her. He has longevity in his family, too. My dad was 93 when he died 2 years ago. I miss him so much! My mom will be 91 in September and I'm so thankful that she's very active and healthy and still with us. Thank you for this wonderful interview.

This interview with Gene Simmons was not long enough. I will have to see if he wrote a book. This man has beautiful stories and experiences to tell. He is very intelligent and articulate. We could all learn from him. Since I am writing a book. I have one story to tell that I will put in my book. When I was 10 years old, my father purchased the Kiss Live album for me after I begged him. Happily I brought the album home...
