Gene Simmons is so deserving of every penny he has. Between him and Paul Stanley their contribution to rock and roll is immeasurable. They are not arrogant they are humble and grateful. What can be a better combination of those qualities. Thank you for all the years of great music and shows that are unequalled in spectacle.
The Ego thing was crafted by Bill Aucoin, because he said he sounded like a business man. In the early days, Bill wouldn't let him do interviews because it didn't match his Demon persona.
He is such a great guy. Met him several times and have never had a bad experience. He’s so funny and such a family man. His family is so sweet and down to earth too 💕
My Mom used to tell me about the band's antics and all that....so I came to this with fresh eyes(no judgement) and decided to do my own thing of watching their Biography of Kiss and I find it no surprise that Gene is a Genius with finances and liking the business end of things. He knows what he is talking about. Very down to earth, despite his past persona. Have listened to their music and havent listened to the videos. THink that my favourite song is Rock and Roll will never die. Long live Gene, Paul and KISS. Love the house, wow, he has some very good taste.
Hello / Hello Jake... Super Cool Gene Simmons / House Tour / Office Tour... Must Share with Other's!!! Mrs. Angie Jordan & Hubby.... Thank U... For Posting This!!! DD.
Gene has two personas: His camera/on stage persona which is basically this...the humor, joke cracking, funny guy that fans and most people expect with a hint of humorous ego added in. Then he has his personal "serious" side that I saw in an interview he did about growing up, his life, his mother and how she was able exit the former Nazi Germany and come to America, his late father whom Gene said left them when he was very young and that trauma is part of why he never married Shannon for 20+ years bc he didn't want to be just like his dad and walk away from a marriage he had. And the fact that his father leaving him and his mother was a catalyst for his using his fortune and celebrity to help children all over the world. He loves children and seeing him play with the kids during video clips of that interview warmed my heart. Gene may come off as a pompous jerk to most, but everyone has different sides to their personalities, as do I. I may not believe in everything he believes in and I know for a fact we have different beliefs. However, different beliefs doesn't mean you treat anyone different. We are all.part of the human race and it's whatever propels our hearts to love and show compassion through what you believe that makes us all as one. For myself, it's my faith in Jesus Christ. And it's different for everyone. But for someone like Gene, yes he is very blessed and even though he has a cockiness due to being blessed, he does use his blessing and fortune to help others and be a good steward of what he's been blessed with.
Gene created a character, an ego, but it's clear that it was always about "protecting" the band (not the members, the band and off course the money).... He was important for music and I aprecciate it, in this video he seems more relaxed and real, maybe because he feels "safe" in his own house. Gene is a genuine funny guy and must be a good dad and husband, u know, out of these cold character that stills throwing Ace and Peter under the bus!
From 0 to now.......very very impressive! Like he stated once, "the streets of America are paved in gold", and, "I dont see those people bitchin about America standing on the beaches wondering how to get out of here".
God Of Thunder is one of the greatest songs I ever heard!!! Gene is a god and a damn funny dude. His egotistical jokes make me laugh. I love this dude! 🤣👏
I get the impression that at one point Gene said to the cameraman “Don’t go in the room!” Because he didn’t want people to see that he has a compulsive hoarding problem and was designating that room for clutter.
Back in the year 1983 (no internet) after Kiss had put their makeup off, there was a telephone number one could dial published in a magazine to hear why they had done so. Being a big fan then I dialed. I heard Gene´s registered voice for the first time speaking normally and he simply ignored the question and told his probably mostly young listeners to be confident in themselves. ("Hi, this is Gene Simmons of Kiss. ... Whatever you do. believe in yourself first as no one else will do...."). I still think that was great. Even though this was in Germany he spoke English (Gene professes to be able to speak German). -- Besides I liked his acting (Lance, Spiders of Death Ragman) and read one book with fun (no, he doesn´t rant in them about other people). His two solo albums are not good (sorry). The first one is more interesting.--- I lost on Kiss when they went retro and remasked.
Gene is in the music business. And the entertainment industry. He has crushed them both more than most artists. In their peak they were making approximately 120 million dollars per year in revenue. In todays dollars that is approximately 1 billion per year. Now that is amazing.
Ohh Gene...I was hoping to see a more rock mansion, with guitars and golden discs on the walls, black leather furnitures, etc. You were the executive producer of "My dad the rockstar" cartoon, so I was hoping to see a mansion like that in this video.
@Todes zauberer778 well thats unfair to say that guy wont be remembered. May not be rich and famous, but maybe he left a mark on someone's life that will be remembered. Dont need money and fame for that
@Todes zauberer778 i get your point. But also that guy couldve gave a kidney, and saved someone's life. I dont know about you, but id rather have that kidney, and remember that M'Fer the rest of my life, then give a shit about how much money gene simmons has. Fair?
Omg you’ll barely recognize the house now😂 It looks so lived in and homey here. The revamped version is beautiful too just a lot of black😂 PS: It’s on producer Michael’s channel.
I think Gene, at home, with family and friends, is really a nice guy. A lot of things have been said and written about how money-hungry he is, but i always think: why would you not make a lot of money if you are in a position to do so? There really is nothing wrong with it. If you can make 1000 bucks, i think nobody is going to reject that. It's all jealousy if you ask me. Enough is enough? Why? If he likes to make more money than he already has...let him! I have no problem with that.That being said, i can't stand how rockstars always have to wear sunglasses. It's so stupid looking when you are inside your house. Everywhere else, sure, you have to maintain your act, your image, but at home? That's silly.
Mr. Entrepreneurial, while he's out there sticking his tongue out at people and making millions, the average joe struggles to make ends meet.......Americana!
See! everyone says. KISS. Knights in satans service. But Gene simmons believes in god an everything. He even said he was blessed. he isn’t such an bad man an kiss band isn’t bad either. Stay blessed everyone an enjoy KISS the hottest band in the world!
A lot of my family doesn't like Gene Simmons, and KISS, in general. In fact, the only person who has the amount of passion and love for the band is my Grandpa. I like Gene because he knows how to work a crowd, he's got a good sense of humor, and he's just a relatively good guy. Sure, he's made some mistakes, but we all make mistakes and everyone has their good and bad qualities. Sadly, some people just choose to ignore the good and focus on the bad. Gene also isn't like other rock stars. He doesn't drink, smoke, or do drugs. He hasn't fallen down the hole other rock stars may do. He's pretty much just a classy guy. All of his good qualities don't make up for some of the stupid things Gene's done, but it doesn't mean they don't count.
He smokes a blunt! I’ve seen him at Harborside dispensary in California Who needs wallpaper when you’ve got shit loads of albums & vinyls to decorate your house with!!
Love KISS. but this dude always freaked me out. What the hell is he doing with that damn hair. And sadly I am not talking about the hair he wears during his stage time. Look at his hair when he’s off!!!? WTF!?!?
Im a Kiss fan,too,Gene,but cmon,couldnt you have included every Kiss song still unreleased on cds in the vault in that 2000.00 limited edition .Ive heard some songs on the internet three years ago of them that sound betyer than the released material.Please,dont hold back,you teaser,you,unlease those hidden gems now.By the way,I admire anybodies dedication who can save everything in their lifetimes for sentimental value,your not only talented but a master magision as well.byebye.

The ego thing is all an act. He seems like a good Dad and his kids seem down to earth too.
The Ego thing was crafted by Bill Aucoin, because he said he sounded like a business man. In the early days, Bill wouldn't let him do interviews because it didn't match his Demon persona.
The ego thing is absolutely not an act i don't know how anyone could think otherwise
How could the guy not have a big ego. Look at everything he's done in life.

Gene admits he's been blessed. And he blessed his fans with one of the greatest rock bands of all time. Thanks, Kiss!

wow his family has good “genes”
Gene Simmons .. I am the most blessed man in America God Bless America ......
Some people on here are unfamiliar with sarcasm and are taking his jokes way too literally. He's just joking guys.
Nice Thanks For Sharing Gene. Your Awesome
I loved watching his family on the Gene Simmons show! A really nice family with a good sense of humour.
Seems like an awesome bloke. I don't mind the way he comes across. It's called confidence.
Very beautifully he said...when he said we actually use the piano...👏👏👏
Only just started to listen to him ,he's class
I love Gene. He reminds me of my uncles always trying to throw a little joke in there for ya with a straight face.
Looks like dark Vader on star wars, seems like with all the money maybe a new wig.
0:59 I love that Gene has each of the other band members' autobiographies
I just love his attitude.
❤ cool interview beautiful house
That's nice Gene bought the other members books.
I met him once. He was very nice to me & thanked me for coming to the event he was at.
4:15 I honestly did NOT see this coming 🤣

He has sort of a Seinfeld dry sense of humor that a lot of people don't get apparently.
Talk about man who's enjoying life!
I get the impression that at one point Gene said to the cameraman “Don’t go in the room!” Because he didn’t want people to see that he has a compulsive hoarding problem and was designating that room for clutter.
What a beautiful House !!!!!!!
He's the dad that has photos of his kids and their achievement on his phone, that's cute.
Love this dude man! Great sense of humor and not cocky at all.

He is like Roy Orbison wearing sunglasses inside.
Wow he ACTUALLY has Paul’s book
Opening with his hand symbol🤘shows you how and why he's famous .
Yeah doing that symbol gives him an ability to play bass

Gene Simmons I love you two baby👶👶🤭🤗😝😍🥰😘
Is that stuff that didn't sell?
I don't know but I know he is still selling Vaults if your interested. Or know someone who is interested. I think they sell on Amazon.
It's a damn gift shop in there😂😂
He is blessed. He made it, his way, and has an awesome family by his side. I should be so lucky.
Gene Simmons is my favorite band member other than Paul and Ace
His hair look like steel wool
Are you kidding me? A Rock “n” Roll God in the 70’s that didn’t drink or do drugs? That in itself is Unbelievable!!
itzamia didn’t know about Ted but it’s believable due his intelligence on social issues and political statesmen.

I still don't understand how he can fit his ego into that size of a house
He is egotistical and self-deprecating at the same time, I like it
Sucks that house doesn't look that way anymore the new owners flipped it into a modern ski resort that you would see in Rocky Mountain
That was cool that was the breeze cool mansion man
Awesome 😮
I build homes in Texas as nice as Genes. Only thing is they cost half the price than in California. No joke
That's because Texas is a sh!thole
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
