      Yes Gene does treat kids & inspiring musicians with much respect, I’m a big fan of Gene just not when he turns on his arrogant button. I seen KISS in 1996 in Hamilton,Ontario,
      Canada at Copps Coleseium with all 4 original members & it was simply amazing it’s still the best rock n roll show I’ve ever been to & the LOUDEST!!! But the opening band was,”Glueleg” which kinda took me back but they rocked & did what they could. & I’ve seen a lot of great Rock N Roll Shows. The 2nd best rock show I’ve ever been to was at the same venue but with Ozzy,Danzig & Sepultura. Ozzy was Ozzy & on the big screen they had these funny skits & this was around the same year 1996/97 so Alanis Morrisette was still Big & Ozzy had this funny video of one of her video’s in the car but Ozzy was in the back seat of the car lol
