KISS rules forever. I love Gene. He's lifetime hero to me since I was 8 years old in 1980. I have been an obsessed collecting KISS fan since then. I have seen them 26 times live and met them once in person.
Worked hard ...deserved the success... was a blessing he came upon Paul Stanley... these co-captains drove the ship through all the different oceans....and survived
Chaim Witz is his real name . He is a self made man and those who bag him are miserable people . Having met the man I was left impressed with his attitude . He cites two people as bass influences . Paul McCartney and Carol Kaye. He did it his way and owes nobody a damn thing .
Loved watching you guys today's on RUclips sorry about what happened Hughes Huff I met them when him and his son lived in rodale California there was a very long time ago it was after we lived in fortuna CA USA is great.
The Red Corvett is Paul Stanleys car not Gene's car at all. He says that the first titled album KISS came out in 1974 .Where on earth dose he get his info from ?????
@@quiettrouble2815 I think she loved him in the beginning after all she had two wonderful kids but he has hurt her so many many times so she must of lost respect for him a long time ago
@@pamela6507 I can understand that cause I have been with two guys, two with one and the youngest with another and I was really in love with them to until the end... Cause I couldn't put up with what they had put me through.
To me that not love she loves his money more then she loves him.She was willing to risk getting AIDS other STDS just to stay with him for his immense fortune.He knew her motives and still cheated in her face
WTF is that picture - supposedly of The Beatles on the Ed Sullivan Show - at 4:00????? Is that Pete Best on the right?... It Ain't Ringo!! (but it IS Ringo's drums behind them) ...and whoever it is - was was never with them on the E.S. show!... Unreal....
James George Nicol (born 3 August 1939) is an English drummer and business entrepreneur. He is best known for temporarily replacing Ringo Starr in the Beatles for a series of concerts during the height of 'Beatlemania' in 1964, elevating him from relative obscurity to worldwide fame and then back again in the space of a fortnight. Nicol had hoped that his association with the Beatles would greatly enhance his career but instead found that the spotlight moved away from him once Starr returned to the group, and in 1965 his subsequent lack of commercial success culminated in bankruptcy. In 1967, after having worked with a number of different bands which included a successful relationship with the Spotnicks, he left the music business to pursue a variety of entrepreneurial ventures. Over the decades, Nicol increasingly shied away from media attention, preferring not to discuss his connection to the Beatles nor seeking financial gain from it.
Business man. Absolutely. Musician ? Meh. Mediocre talent. Nobody would have paid attention to this band without the theatrics/special effects. They needed a gimmick to cover for their lack of musical talent.
I really liked this. However I have a question. This grand house 16, 000 square feet sitting on 2 acres in Beverly Hills CA. even in 1987, was less than $ 2 million ? Now it's worth $ 20 million as of 2020. It would seem more accurate that this place was worth $ 20 million in 1987, and I live close by. This article house figure numbers are completely off...
I apologies for replying to my comment, however I forgot to say was the " KISS jet " was worth an estimated $ 40 Million ? I don't know if that's true either. The numbers are suspicious...
So many holes in this video even downvto the most of the simplest ....like dude using the word "c.d"when they never even had "c.ds" they only used records back in the 70's....lol some kids nowadays dont even know what a record is....which to me is funny....but it is important to put corrext things out there.....in actualality the kids growing up,deserve to hear the truth even if its a small one they should know....all I have to say about ....Everyone out there stay safe ,and away from Covid.Now if your sick hope for a quick painless healing....peace
I won't bash Gene too much. He is a very, very smart but greedy man. Talented bass player and song writer. He at least believes in one liberal idea in support gay/lesbian rights to an extent. I love his patriotism but is hypocritical at times. Does he realize many liberals are patriotic too and serve in the military? Any empire needs to be constantly questioned to keep it on its toes. For a person that hates liberals he sure fell in love with one in the 70s "Cher", and the Beatles are mostly a liberal band. Scared of marriage well that is liberal too. Just curious, would he send his own son and daughter overseas today and serve in the military? On top of that be a grunt soldier not sit on a rich man elvis throne like elvis did in the military and take pictures?
Gene is progressive thinking on many issues...check out his Twitter account for the last year. He has said himself that he is liberal on social issues & conservative on other things.Considering what his mother & family went through during the Holocaust, I can understand some of his views...his mother watched her mother & other relatives go to the gas chamber.... :( He doesn't hate liberals...his son is fairly liberal & has changed his dad's mind on several issues...check out the recent RUclips videos where they are interviewed together. Btw, Nick, his son, is extremely intelligent & articulate...disagrees with Gene on many things, but still greatly loves & supports his dad.
when I was 8 years old my brother and I each got KISS transistor radios for Christmas. for some reason our thought was cool its a special radio that just plays kiss music.. we quickly realized that wasn't true. and was just stickers plastered over a cheap Chinese radio 🤣
Gene is all about Gene and making a buck from anything possible. He has little talent, the whole popularity thing was visual, their music sucked. Just wish their makeup never came off . . . Just shows anything is possible in America.
Sometimes Shannon has a creepy joker-like smile... and boy has she put on the weight! she is definitely not playboy material these days.... & I bet she was going thru the "change" when she started having her melt down about Gene & his women...but what did she expect?? She allowed him to cheat on her during their time together and never once complained about it...
If you’re talking about 2:49 I think her body looks great, from what I can see. But she’s getting the plastic surgery face. She needs to slow down. I agree about her letting gene cheat on her for years and then get mad about it is ridiculous. She should have never allowed it. She could have definitely left him for some other rich rocker or businessman that would treat her better than gene
most of all produced a couple of well rounded ,respectful kids

He deserves everything he’s got
Ehh.. No! He is F-ing Psycho.. And Very Ugly too...Kiss ONLY Exist cause of Money and Greed (Classic Jewish Trade). 🥴🙄..😉
Worked hard ...deserved the success... was a blessing he came upon Paul Stanley...
these co-captains drove the ship through all the different oceans....and survived
He CAME upon Paul Stanley? Youre a dummy. Dmac.....more like D bag
Say what you want but he's earned every cent
He's pretty talented and educated. Smart too. Incredible
I will always be a kiss fan. Kiss Army rocks.
Chaim Witz is his real name . He is a self made man and those who bag him are miserable people . Having met the man I was left impressed with his attitude . He cites two people as bass influences . Paul McCartney and Carol Kaye. He did it his way and owes nobody a damn thing .
Kiss Alive was initially a vinyl LP. CDs did not exist in 1975.

Love KISS went to there concert in Hollywood in the 70’s❤
Somebody teach this guy how to pronounce "Chaim"
The Red Corvett is Paul Stanleys car not Gene's car at all. He says that the first titled album KISS came out in 1974 .Where on earth dose he get his info from ?????
The album part seems right. Wiki ...KISS is the debut album by American band KISS. When it was released, on February 18, 1974
Sure looks like Paul Stanley owns the Car
The red Vette is Paul's, not Gene's.
He was in Wicked Lester then created KISS with Paul
Kiss was created by all 4. There was no Kiss before Ace & Peter.
Nice ❤. Ace created the logo
Gene and Paul make all the money, and the other 2 get paid hourly, really insane
Shannon tweed didn't like being humiliated because of his constant cheating all throughout the entire relationship but she sure stayed for the money
That's all I thought Shannon was really interested in. I don't think that there's any Real Love in that relationship at all!!!

Someone please tell Gene to scrub his tongue with a toothbrush before he sticks it out again.💙
I was thinking the same thing!! Gross.
He has thrush...AKA Candida .. Yuk is right
Thrush is common. My dentist said to use a tongue scraper, kind of unpleasant.
I’m calling bs on the car collection
Travelled to Zombiea? If only that wasn't a mispronunciation of Zambia.
Ace frehley please do it
Great job. Reading straight out of Wikipedia...🙄
He was NOT the CO FOUNDER - Paul Stanley was and IS.
I always wondered why none of these guys were Drafted to Vietnam.
Paul Stanley mentioned in his book he was deaf on his right side. I don't know about the rest of them.
What the name of background music?
Sold this house now
Me Kathy Elizabeth and Jessie Vaughn Daughtry lived in fortuna CA called Westwood apartments
Why is the Jet not black would look so much better..
Shannon didn't need to work on her face. She was naturally beautiful
Thank Céline Dion to make Las Vegas residency cool. Before her success there it wasn't cool, only Has-been performed in Vegas.
The KISS-jet has a dutch registration (PH-AAG)?
Hey! Don’t call me names!
😄

Chaim is pronounced “hime”…
Once the live CD was released? Live CD in the mid 70’s? Come on man!!! So many wrongs in this video.
Nice!!
KISS RULES
His real name is a Hebrew name, as heard in this documentary ruclips.net/video/UECz4U8e3ho/видео.html (33:18)
He gave himself the name Gene Simmons.

When he quoted, "I never knew a poor person to give me a job". Yea they did, its called your fans, and some are liberal too.

I’m sure he would have a better wig than his usual bad hair if he were bald
They released a live CD in the seventies 😂
Dang shame only person Gene Simmons is himself more than money.
You don't even know how to say his name!
Hair PIECE I said
So he was inspired by the Beatles but the best he could come up with, was Kiss.
Peter criss
Interesting, no mention of Wicked Lester, the band Gene and Paul being the only two members of that formed before KISS.
Pronounced Hifa
Oy Vey, poor soul
