Rock Star Interviews Gone Wrong 

Gene and Pauls looks make it even funnier! Lol classic Ace.

I know right? Ace had me rollin the looks on Paul and Gene's faces made me laugh even more

Dude, Ace killed me. Even drunk he was quick on his toes with the wit.

If you ant f up lol 😂😂😂

"No I'm the... trout player" Ace is the best

I know it's annoying

Thank you for your comment. I saw it while the ad before the video was playing, and as a result, I stopped it before even seeing the video itself. I have now spent exponentially more time writing this thank you note to you, for saving me from another person’s meandering opinions.

Yes, thank you. And, this guy's enunciation is extreamingly annoying.

I disagree. I think it's a Dan Stone commentary. Dan is the man.

Not even gonna watch it now lol tyyyyyy

His demeanor Changed after Anderson said, you'll always be les Tossers to me

@@davidhealy4534 Yeah, who would think that's something OK to say, right?

@@davidhealy4534 That was a huge insult and I can't believe that didn't prompt them get up and leave right then and there.

Gotta like the Bee Gees. 👍🏽👍🏽

Yeah. I don't see how that's a bad interview. Sometimes being intoxicated wrecks an interview but this is just fun. Dude got a straight interviewer to make a gay joke.

😂🤣🤣😂

His album had a lot of songs referencing his drug issues.

Best 😂😂😂😹😹🤣🤣🤣

I know, right?!?

Or waking up from a nightmare.

Relatable

​

@@palomamerino9106 That's what I'm saying

You just gotta be on his level

I won't listen to them anymore, after they mandated the COVID-19 vaccine for their fans to attend concerts and to go on their Kiss cruise. My friend died just a couple of hours after attending a kiss concert in 2021 Oct Detroit. I will not support anyone that mandated it ...

​@@Flawlessbeauty54there is a band called "five times August" that made a song about all of the musicians that sold out to big pharma.

​@@Flawlessbeauty54Good for you. Sorry to hear about you friend. As time went on and the money was in the bag kiss become more and more political and become opinionated about things that musicians should not get involved in.

@@rockzilla5150 Gene Simmons also has stock in Big Pharma so he also made money off the pandemic....

Why are there so many anti vaxxers here last time i checked metal fans were smart

He's changed a lot. He even recognizes some his past transgressions.

The early 80s were a different time. It doesn't matter if the band appeared silly or had a schtick. The audience and fans bought in differently. Since you're talking about an era where the majority of wrestling fans didn't think it was scripted; the fact that people needed to take KISS seriously in order for them to make money and the rumors of satanism and all that stuff were driving sales -- you didn't want that image, however wrong -- tarnished. Even as glam took off in that decade, it was a pretty rough time for KISS financially.

Pffft, They were Kiss, dont think that shit would have made a difference. That answers a cop out...

Yeah, Paul & Gene still haven't gotten those sticks out of their asses to this day.

man the epic answer

​@Firebat111 it almost sounds like he meant to say performer, but came out pormer lol. I've been playing it back and laughing out loud. Gene Simmons God bless him, wasn't having it at all. He was clearly pissed off.

Because, like a child, he wasn't the centre of attention and was completely upstaged.

lol james brown safety glasses -laughing ass offfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff-thx needed that

The proper regal broadcasting response from hollywood California "ohh"...

I remember seeing that interview too. Didn't he lead the cops in a chase too

hhahahahahahaha

They look amazing though

They were!!! ❤

Clive definitely took it too far. But it ought to be pointed out that it was less than a serious talk show. A large part of his style was taking the piss out of his guests, much in the vein of Mrs Merton. I think the Bee Gees had no idea. Though as I say, he did take it too far!

All 3 of them were the nicest people.

@@carlhartwell7978 I think it would have been fine if they'd been allowed to speak a little more. But we didn't tune in to hear the guests. We tuned in to hear Clive! BG management should have been more aware of that perhaps.

People like taking the piss but can't handle it when it's done to them -Truth

The plumber come back was quick and funny . And Gene sat there like a doosh bag in his make-up 😂❤

hahaha, same here!

Does your school have a no duct tape policy?

Interestingly enough Iggy is one of the most down to earth, nice, and approachable celebrities of all time. Despite his legendary severe drug addiction and absolutely insane on-stage antics, off-stage and behind the camera he's extremely laid back and humble, to the point that most fans and celebrities alike who meet him walk away feeling like he genuinely enjoyed the encounter more they ever would or could themselves. Look up Henry Rollins spoken piece about the times he's gotten to share the stage with him. It's both hilarious and touching at the same time.

Gene and Paul were just jealous. 2 narcissists. Just look at their glam rock days. That documentary the decline of western civilization. Seeing flamboyant Paul act like he liked women.

I love that interview. Ace is the best.

He wasn't battling it during that interview he was swimming in it.

The fact that it pisses off Gene (get vaccinated or you'll go to jail) Simmons ... makes it even funnier!

why did he call gene tom

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣"this is a man's world!"

*love

The Godfather of Soul is what is missing from today's music scene

I would say P or speed

I didn't buy that bs explanation either.

I too was definitely thinking meth pharma or other.

Hilarious

😂😂😂

Some interviewers aren't very good . They're just tossers 😒

I miss Michael Parkinson; he was so relaxed and very highly respected. RIP Sir Michael@@chateaupig826

Sorry, Clive has been successful since that 1997 incident. Very successful.

Drinking isn't alcoholism.

@@michaelmorningstar8645 but is if you become an addict!

@@73Datsun180B Not really.

@@michaelmorningstar8645 what a stupid fucking argument.

​@@michaelmorningstar8645 In what way is drinking copious amounts of alcohol on a daily basis and getting shitfaced NOT Acoholism , please explain ?

I watched Snyder all the time as a kid, he was an oddly unique to the time TV host who was just a bit to gruff and unpolished for midday shows, who loved to joke and laugh with guests (at his own expense or theirs). I read an interview with him only a year or three after this, and he said Ace MADE that interview one of his all-time favorites.

it is very Funny, BUT the narrator got it Wrong when he said this started the down fall, true they were like that alot Ace & Peter but they pulled No shows & were difficult to work with & Both wanted to go Solo anyway.

Like most interviews by Tom Snyder

RIGHT? I respect Gene's brand/business sense, but at the end of the say there's four grown ass men wearing those costumes and singing awful songs about partying all night and licking it up.

true. f gene

Gene trying to be serious while dressed up like a clown is pretty funny. Man, I really hate Simmons. Greedy, egotistical f**k.

the interviewer seemed like she expected this.

That can never be ruled out - salaciousness sells@@greendream716

Maybe not everyone knows all of this lol 🤷🏻‍♂️

We'd know a lot more if the guy would just stfu and let us watch.​@chadhaut5783

It's been said many times, when Ace walked, KISS got a vasectomy.

Good, those two suk cow pie.

Gene was sober. Ace was pissed.

​@@pauljordan4452😂😅😂

Good Question they were only good when they first came here and most made better songs after they broke up. I never had any of their album 8 track,cassettes ,and or their CDs together or apart.

Mom.Mom. Mama .Mommy. Mama .Mom. Ma. Ma.😂

Look what I can do!😜😗😞😕😏🤣😅🥹

disgusting

She tried to nail him but I always thought he was slippery

True !

Wrong

@@rramsey9154 Nope to uptight

Nothing says hilarious than a man-clown in full "demon" make up and outfit, getting pissed because the guitarist is not taking the whole thing seriously. Gene is a dope.

I agree, with the money these guys were raking in they all should've been riding the wave and enjoying life and fame ,Gene and Paul are just two old sticks in the mud.

My guess has been Ace looked like he was smoking some good weed & maybe 70's coke or not. I can imagine him looking at himself in the mirror with all the makeup & space clothes. Probably laughed his ass off & the rest is history 🤣

Could you imagine looking at yourself in the mirror dressed up like a Spaceman then trying to say "I'm a plumber 🪠🤣

Paul was laughing it off. Gene was pissed and has always been the one to bully the others into his ideal way of behaving, playing, etc.

Cringe

Just the fact Gene was so visibly pissed made me smile. I can't stand Gene Simmons, a complete jerk.

Not only was Ace one of the funniest interviewees I've ever seen, the fact that Paul and Gene were so sore that a group of fully grown men being dressed like that weren't being taken seriously just kicks the hilarity up to the next level.

@@VI-rt7sh When Ace mentions that some of the people coming to see the show might be thinking they are wasting their money, I was surprised Gene didn't walk out or fight him live on air.

I wanna believe that Gene was always the actual problem, and influenced Paul to also take things too seriously. Those costumes and makeup….come on, it was a party band. Even Ace being fucked up at shows was fine.

Seem? Try absolutely are. But then, that's probably why they're defunct and forgotten now.

Odd take, did you think the weirdo interviewing them was treating them well?

@@nathanielovaughn2145 They're just a bunch of bullies in this segment. Each bandmember comes across as a real asshole. That is 100% bullying behavior to the interviewer.

The very deep creeps.

I know right that ngga is ugh, he abused his wife

It’s where Saddam hid the weapons of mass destruction.

Wearing that stuff might have been weird for him.

Well, you gotta say that cleared those nerves right up.

Well, Ace's solo album was the biggest of the four and they didn't like that.

I live in Connecticut. I would have been stunned if I saw a limo drive by with Ace all made up in the backseat.

@@EM-mw2qr You would be back in the New York groove.

He's a talented retard. Uggh

That Kiss was embarrassing courtesy of Ace

🤙

They are control freaks. They got angry at an interviewer for not wearing a Kiss shirt but an Iron Maiden shirt

That's because they are pretentious, egotistical, narcissistic, douche wads.

@@melvin4553 Talk about self absorbed people...(Paul and Simmons.)...Wow! Never liked kiss. But Ace is a bit fun.

@@mathish100 ace is cool and those other 2 Simmons and Paul are indeed very self absorbed, especially Simmons. Did you know he wanted and tried to patent the metal horns sign 🤘? He fucking tried

They obviously hate it when the attention is on the others

Which just made them funnier with no intent on their part to be. Spinal Tap, anyone?

My favorite way to describe KISS (when it WAS them), was that Gene & Paul played rock-n-roll, Ace & Peter WERE rock-n-roll.

The contrary of Abbath.

Gene Simmons was always my least favorite member of the band, Ace was always my favorite.

Gene is near the end of his lifespan and STILL thinks money is the key to happiness. Still hasn't figured out, you can't take it with you. I'm not that bright and even I figured out money (although you need it, like food and water) doesn't equate to happiness.

@@jeff-ds2pr No, it doesn't buy happiness but we all still want as much as we can get.

​@@marblox9300 not all of us. Some of us are happy having a roof over our heads, food in our bellies, and good health. Luxury is nice, but totally unnecessary. It won't make you happy, and avarice and greed are terrible.

Always bro. To be that intoxicated and still has wit.

Loved Black Sabbath he was Black Sabbath that voice

The Sex Pistols and especially Rotten were no talent, anti semetic A HOLES of the highest degree.

And Borrrrrrriinngg

they were desperately trying to keep up with Oasis's badass attitude. which was hilarious because Blur all looked like pussies 😂

their career was a blur...😴

A group that has sold 7 million albums.

@@butters395 Precisely...never heard of them.

Maybe they thought he was a tosser 😂

I like these ones who don't even slightly pretend . If they're not into it , it's just chaos 😅❤

Where do you think the writers got their inspiration?🤔

@@user-sw2ob4iw1m well ,ya

I actually thought it was Nigel Tuffnel for a moment. Splitting image.

Ace never upstaged them at all. In fact, he refused to even sing for the longest time. I don't know which concerts you've been to; but I have been to several, and none of them upstage each other. KISS in concert has always been a very well-oiled machine, where each member has their own moments in the spotlight and each member also supports the others when it is not their turn.

You're RIGHT about their childish costumes. Yes. They have a big following. Don't know why? But that's my opinion. I enjoy other bands. That's alright.

Gene and Paul have always run Kiss as a brand, not the typical strung out, drunk hell raisers like many other bands... those who can't cut it, get cut out. I have no idea why they've been so popular for so long.

It's just natural, remember he was a teacher. So I never took him seriously ,none of them, he thought he had everyone figured out younger ones especially.

Full of himself 😢

Iggy is HIGH AF

They didn't Storm out, they simply got up and left.
