I've been sober for 22 years and I can say that my life improved 100% because I stopped drinking. I wish I never touch the stuff. So I think Gene has a point!!!
We don't all have problems with it in order to require to go sober though. Many people can do it moderately and enjoy the light side of it. I feel like people assume drinking and getting high is only done by addicts. It isn't.
@@davidsuch8942 Oh, you're one of those that brings in points that were never said, as if you read it somewhere but was really only in your own head. Where did anyone say I get high every day? I eat edibles only weekends, at night to destress and sleep deeply. You are proving my point where small minds think anyone that enjoys alcohol or weed are addicts, when many are NOT.
Simmons is always selling. Carolla mentions the Kiss Kasket and Simmons says we sell them. Always trying to milk more Money. I respect them for their work ethic but has there ever been a band who milked so Little talent as Kiss has?
Gene has a point for sure. With that being said, everything is balance. Nothing wrong with having a drink if you know when to say when and the appropriate time to have a drink. Or, simply don’t ? Even “chasing skirt” as Gene says,.. can be somewhat of a vice or addiction. Everyone has different vices,.. drink, drugs, money, sex, work,. (Yes, I said work) again you have to find your balance. More importantly, hopefully those vices are not hurting the people around you. Family, friends etc..
Well, he didn't say he he's never drank. He said he's never been drunk. It doesn't always have to mean drinking to the point of not remembering anything the next day and throwing up. As you said, nothing wrong with it if you know when to stop.
If Simmons was a well-rounded guy who is respected by many, then he can tell us about how dumb it is to drink and get high. But his character is not good enough to be giving life advice. Also, chasing skirt also does not give you more money or success and costs money. At least some of us choose to do something that doesn't degrade another person.
Smoking a joint whilst listening. Calms my nerves from a life of poverty and war. But also for those of you who like to " chase skirt " endulge in the sin of lust just know that can ruin your life way quicker than any drug. Its like saying " i dont have any tattoos " which in my case i dont but i wouldn't chastise somebody with a body full of tattoos and say " you messed your life up " " do those tattoos give you super powers " " why would you destroy your body like that "
Gene Simmons will be held accountable by the creator for encouraging and promoting careless, degenerate, and destructive behavior, whether he practices it or not. And so will anyone else who is a degenerate and destructive force on good people.
Equally surprising is Nugent has never been drunk or high either. The Motor City Madman has been sober all his life. I didn't know Gene was also. Good for both of them
Of course I do💚. However, If people who, for example, are in AA were to have a glass of wine, they would most likely not consider themselves 'sober.' To me, sober is no consumption. That was my only point.
It's cuz he's full of shit. If u watch interviews with ace and peter they all say different and I believe them over Gene. They left the band cuz Gene was trying to screw them all the time
Sexual preditor at one time turns money bags! He is so cool! My hero....uff...AMERICA NEEDS REAL STAND UP GUYS AND HEROS THESE DAYS not this crap. Seriously so much plastic surgery he has been high last 20 years with all them pain meds. He was high he just didnt recognize it.
No, but it does help with my severe chronic pain. I was Mr. Holistic guy my whole life and wouldn't even take an aspirin until my late forties. But post-polio syndrome started kicking my ass around that time and I suffer from severe chronic pain to the point that I often just don't feel like living so finally gave up a few years ago and I take a CBD gummy everyday and when things are real bad I take half and oxycodone, but not that often. The CBD makes me high as hell and makes me smile and makes my pain much much better to the point that it almost disappears for 6 ,7 and 8 hours, and that's everything. Makes my life tolerable.
@@BubblesBubbles well whatever I'm getting from my over-the-counter place around the corner here in South Florida gets me totally buzzed. I can only stand a half a gummy, otherwise I get way too high.
He’s wrong about weed though, because we all have built in cannabinoid receptors. All the top neuroscientists will confirm this. He can also grow it from the ground, so he doesn’t have to worry about his pockets. He’d probably be more chill on weed too, since he really just comes off as a boring weirdo.
As Gene has aged he's losing his mind, sadly. Total respect for the business man, no respect for the man and his lack of respect for individual, critical thinking. He's a sellout
I used to love seeing KISS they put on the best shows but after seeing gene simmons and paul stanleys behavior outside of the stage it made me sick to my stomach and now I wouldn't go to a show even if I had free tickets
Individual thinking doesn't mean you purposely try to counter what is proven to work, whether financially, morally, culturally, etc. and expect it to be embraced as a legitimate equal or greater option with regards to the results. We already have 13% of the population that does that by default & it's proven to be a national threat..for decades now. Wise up boy.
I really don’t believe Gene hasn’t been drunk a single time going back to 1975. That’s just impossible for me to believe. Although I can believe that he didn’t make it a regular thing. But not a single time on all of those tours, in 50 years?? I think he has selective memory
In the Rush doc 'Beyond the Lighted Stage', they talk about touring with KISS in the early 70's. All of them were getting high/drinking w/ the members of KISS, besides Gene. He wanted nothing to do with it. He just wanted to chase women and get laid.
Ive heard it from other bands that toured with kiss going back to the 70s Gene never drank, thats crazy to me too but some people just dont ever drink. Donald Trump is another whos never even tasted alcohol or any drug
KISS maybe should have done some drugs then their music wouldnt have sucked so much. I mean its really pretty bad looking back. So many bands from that era have dated well but KISS songs just are super average.
The same thing applies to sex, why would you get to syphilis and AIDS and pay child support, obviously you can use alcohol with zero negative side effects
@nickbarcheck1019 Being proud of not being under the influence which affects not only the one with no self control which leads to their compulsive addiction but all those around them who have to suffer from the users lack of judhenent. Now, what is there about substance abuse that you are proud of?
They guy that spits blood and fire for 50 years is gonna warn me about smoking. Also I've seen Kiss (great concert) and I'm pretty sure I was high off second hand pot smoke by the 3rd song.
@@georgedavies5752 moderation is hard. Only a few pple of character can pull that off. Oh and it(moderation) is not fun- if you understand how dopamine works
No it's not because the statement doesn't exist and you are in denial about it. No such thing as being " sober". Gene is highly addicted to money and sex. Someone that does not consume,ingest or smoke drugs can be addicted to porn or video games.
Being out of control in an altered state might interfere with him being a colossal pretentious asshole all the time. Seriously though, I would love to respect him for this if his reputation indicated he was a better person. My father is a narcissistic that is straight edge, but he is still a terrible person and I could care less whether he wants to praise himself because alcohol and drugs would interfere with the abusive and controlling way he lives his life.

Keep on paying top dollar to see a fake onstage I’ll stick with the real thing. As your boy Gene has said on a number of occasions in public often Imitated never Duplicated Mr Ace Frehley!!!!!
He has nothing to be proud of. Not experiencing altered states of consciousness is the equivalent of never hearing beautiful music, experiencing a great film, or reading a great novel. I look at him like I look at a philistine, with pity.
That would be like him looking at you with pity because he banged more women in 1 year than you will in an entire lifetime. I would much rather be in his position than yours, and so would most.
Gene has two highs... First is rock & roll music... Second the ladies... I personally get a high from playing in a great band. When things are cooking, I get a buzz!
Ted Nugent says he doesn't drink but if you follow his hunting show Ted drinks wine with most of game he prepares. Gene Simmons may be the Only Iconic Rocker that doesn't drink at all.
Imagine doing what he's done and being sober through all of it.

And most likely, he’ll remember all of it.

Little talent as Kiss has?
And most of it from one average song.
Sing one verse over and over.
And over.
Ironically, chasing so much "tail" can be as dangerous as drugs. I highly doubt Gene wore rubber all the times he got laid. STDs can kill.
he is an moralizing idiot and his music absolutely sucked in retrospect.
He was chasing skirt all throughout the AIDs era.

Gene is truly a madman. Rockstar that is straight edge. It's genuinely insane.
So was Frank Zappa.
Same with Ted Nugent
Sex and rock and roll is enough for me
Same with Dee Snider
straight edge means that you don't engage in promiscuity as well....he most definitely is not straight edge.
So did I understand correctly, he doesn't drink or do drugs cause it might get in the way of his sex addiction?
Pretty much yes.
That's great he doesn't drink or take drugs. Adam's next question should have been: "How many types of hepatitis have you had ? Is that enjoyable ?"

That would be like him looking at you with pity because he banged more women in 1 year than you will in an entire lifetime. I would much rather be in his position than yours, and so would most.
That's a ridiculous point of view.
Gene has two highs... First is rock & roll music... Second the ladies... I personally get a high from playing in a great band. When things are cooking, I get a buzz!
Ted Nugent says he doesn't drink but if you follow his hunting show Ted drinks wine with most of game he prepares. Gene Simmons may be the Only Iconic Rocker that doesn't drink at all.
My HERO. My ROLE MODEL🛡️👹🔥🔥🔥🩸🩸🩸
