Me too , the first time I seen kiss at the los Angeles Forum when I was twelve years old going to see them next month at the Hollywood Bowl now I'm sixty years old , lost track of how many times I've seen them over the years.
But this isn't about the last tour, it's about selling the rights to the Kiss name etc, and once that is completed there will be No more concerts/ tours.
I sat in the front of coach on a Regional Jet to Dallas and Gene was up in first. When you see him in person you realize there’s only one of him in the world appearance wise. But I was a member of the KISS Army and Still have my cool looking Necklace. Seeing his emotional tribute to America at the Pentagon moved me. Gene is a great American
While I was never a KISS fan, I am a huge Gene fan. Aside from being one of the top5 best marketers of the 20th century, he speaks truth and doesn't BS anyone. I saw him a few years ago at an official DC speech where he detailed his mother's time in a concentration camp & their journey to the US. He was so emotional that he wept about how great the US is. God Bless Chaim Witz!!
@@JbsalcoholismisgettingBadhepukshut up,he speaks very little of his mom. Just enough to tell his story. She was a great woman who took care of him when his dad wouldn't
Duh Gene, at this stage, everyone is saying the same. Why not roll that longue back in you ass and wait for what transpires? BTW, didn't you get fired from Trump? Oh, are looking for a government position if you help reelect him?
@@KVX21 Toured the world for decades, created and managed many successful businesses. Met and worshiped by more world leaders than most presidents and has helped, supported and entertained our troops in warzones. Yeah, I would say he knows waaaaayyyy more whats going on than you.

I was looking for someone calling him out for that pretty sure his words were “F your freedom” referring to the unvaccinated once I saw that my thoughts on him were F your opinions I don’t care what he says after that.

Republicans should have a plan to counter the fake mail in ballots aside from encouraging voters to vote in 2024. Democrats will just keep on counting fake mail in ballots in Democrat controlled big cities until their candidate wins. They did it in 2020 to Trump. They did it in Arizona in 2022. They will do it again in 2024.
Alas, they've 100+ active prosecutions, 6,000 DOJ employees and the FBI all trying to jail him and if that fails I believe they'll get the Clinton mob to Epstein him. Biden has said he'll stop him from standing. He's also said if he can get him in jail even for a short time he'll never stand.
Im 22, i cant imagine how it must’ve been like back then going to these concerts Seeing Kiss live for example, and their crazy costumes. They looked badass lmao I havnt been to many concerts so idk much about the experience Much less in Rock Concerts 😮💨
@zen_coco2658 I've been to a few concerts when I was young. In hindsight, it was a waste of time. Bunch of us young ones drinking, partying and acting crazy. And then driving home. The DUI laws were not as enforced as they are this day and age.
I have loved him my entire life because he is extremely intelligent, and he understands how to craft a character to convey his smarts to the rest of us. LOL! He is a chef too! Talented in many more ways than we know.
I saw Kiss in 1974 at arena that held around 5000 people on a stage that went around in circles. They played the opening for Aerosmith so imagine seeing both bands in their first years.
One group I never got to see live. I hope you truly have a great time. Life would suck without Rock & Roll & these guys. They worked hard & deserve the fame & fortune. ❤
"...have a little dignity and self-respect, love your fans..." he says on Kiss' third pass through the UK on their 'End of The Road' tour, playing the same venues they played in 2019 only with fewer special effects 😂
Gene may seem like an ass when it comes to KISS but he knows the value of hard work. He's always been sober, invested his money well. I've learned to like him more and more over the years....outside of KISS he's pretty cool.
Gene and Kiss are smart for knowing the end and realizing they have tons of money to enjoy. Thank you for all the albums and memories made while listening to your albums, very many good times and you will always be rock legends 🤘🏻
They should have reunited with the originals for a few tours, then gone back to their non-makeup band with Kulick and Singer. But that would have been too dignified.
I will never forget the first time I went to the KISS concert in Las Vegas Nevada in the early 80s My buddy and I had front row tickets and he managed to throw his shirt on stage and it landed on Gene Simmons. Gene stopped for a second and pointed at himself like " What's this? A t-shirt on my head? And I think he kept playing My buddy and I laughed so hard, never forget it. I wish I could see that video, priceless moment.

Gene is a badass skier and so is his daughter. Gene and his family have a place at Whistler and I spend about half my time between Seattle and Whistler. I'm a bass player and sometimes play with my local Whistler friends at The Alpine Cafe. It's a super small place and he's been in there a few times and often accepts invitations to play. It's hard to go incognito if you're as tall as he is, so everybody gives him the courtesy of treating him like everybody else.

I biologically bonded with KISS in my teens... no band is close to them in my mind (except Rammstein ;)... but it's not just imprinting... name another band where all 4 members trade singing lead... and REALLY well (Ace is so so). 95% of their songs are catchy, raunchy, and celebratory.

It's just sex, humor, and very catchy / tasteful virtuosity... each member playing the hell out of their instrument. Magic!
@@thisismyrealname2860 On the broad spectrum of difficulty and complexity, you're right, but include musicality (we are talking about music here) and boom! You're so wrong!

I was chosen for upgraded tickets to front row at a Kiss concert with my 6 yo boy in Moline IL, every member of the band gave us personal interaction and gifts of guitar picks and a drum stick. At that point it had been quite awhile since anything good had happened in my life. At that moment I felt that if something good like this had happened there would be more good things to come. Thanks KISS for changing my perspective that night. My son and I thank you dearly and would love to meet you.
Say what you want.. but Gene Simmons is nothing if not gracious in working tirelessly to break down barriers. He's a smart, thoughtful, yeah sometimes arrogant but ALWAYS honest guy. He's right. You cannot find solutions when both sides are unwilling to sit down at the table (meet in the middle), break bread and have an honest conversation. Going to see them in Nashville with my daughter - and I'll be there at MSG in NYC on their last night ever 12/2/23. Spending my last December birthday with my favorite band of all time!
@@squid3833 omgosh. ...u focused on my grammar. nothing better to do with your precious time but waste it on me. I have never seen Piers Morgan laugh so much.
Saw kiss in New Zealand in Auckland at westernsprings back in the eighties what a night to remember. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your fans . Trust Israel and Palistin can live in peace together ❤️
I loved the Apprentice where Piers won. I remember he was in charge of an auction and he was like, let’s get these people drunk because then they will bid on anything. Gotta love that. He deserved the win!
I used to dispise his music but now see a different person . Pray for u all. GB AT LEAT HE IS HONEST AND HAS A GOOD PERSONALLITY. TY FOR HAVING MERCY ON OTHERS.
We all play our parts in life , and if you love him or hate him, you sure well have to admire Gene Simmons , in the career and life and the legacy he help build.
Gene is Rock n Roll royalty! While I’ll likely never get to interview him, I’ll always treasure seeing him perform live! A true bucket list experience.
I saw Kiss a few times in the 70's. Kiss was scheduled to play at my college gymnasium and the ticket was $1.00. The fire Marshall would not allow Pyro in the gym, so Kiss packed up and left. Many years later, I contacted Gene's personal manager, and I sent the full concert ticket with a letter of the story to the curator of the Kiss museum. True story
Gene knows how to make money and keep his fans.. he’s smart and well spoken and doesn’t want to say the wrong words to piss anybody off good luck on your last tour Gene shalom
He and his family have an appreciation for our country in a way that those of us born here can't. I pray that his belief that President Trump will win the next election comes true. I don't know of anyone who could survive what he's been through since he first announced in 2015.
BTW wasn't KISS a drag band? Just check out the make up. Imagining Gene telling the artist "Umn, honey, need more white on the left to even it out." 😂😂🤣That sounds G... I mean, prideful 😉

I am a bassist today because of Mr Simmons. The last few years, I have felt my admiration was poorly placed as his personality became more apparent over the years. I was a star struck kid with a dream. This clip at least gave me a glimmer of hope for Gene. His thoughts on the Israeli/Arabic conflict is commendable to say the least, naïve but commendable. I would love to see his offering come to light, but with the tensions in the region, I dont think this is a possibility.
@@JeWCyDuDe be real, his approach to the middle east could never work, as the blood feud between the children of Abraham goes back centuries and no one has been able to change that. I see that this is being translated so Im not sure where you come from or what religion you follow, you got to understand this is way deeper than what anyone today can comprehend.
@Jonas Overka well I'm a Jew. I understand where this all stems from. His solution is simple....remove the terrorist organizations and leave the civilian population. To some degree he is right as Israeli Muslim Arabs don't seem to be the problem at all in Eretz Israel. They have merged with Israeli Jews and there is not violence from them. ..
@@JeWCyDuDe removing the terrorists is going to be difficult, I think they are not only entrenched but scattered throughout the middle east. I do agree with your assessment. My heritageis Lithuanian

At that point it had been quite awhile since anything good had happened in my life. At that moment I felt that if something good like this had happened there would be more good things to come.
Thanks KISS for changing my perspective that night. My son and I thank you dearly and would love to meet you.
Gene sounds like a very bright dude any time he opens his mouth. Amazing.
Gene Simmons is a man of unexpected wisdom.
And arrogance
I thought he was until he spoke about getting vaccinated. If you do not, you are not American. I guess no longer for freedom
Looks like Trump will get the unexpected 6" tongue up the BigMac exit canal 😝
Gene rocked us all ! 😚💕
Gene Simmons is a wonderfully talented and intelligent man...KISS will be missed❤
Say what you want.. but Gene Simmons is nothing if not gracious in working tirelessly to break down barriers. He's a smart, thoughtful, yeah sometimes arrogant but ALWAYS honest guy. He's right. You cannot find solutions when both sides are unwilling to sit down at the table (meet in the middle), break bread and have an honest conversation. Going to see them in Nashville with my daughter - and I'll be there at MSG in NYC on their last night ever 12/2/23. Spending my last December birthday with my favorite band of all time!
Never seen piers laugh so much. Lol
saw, not seen...
@@Todd3black3 Regardless!
@@squid3833 omgosh. ...u focused on my grammar. nothing better to do with your precious time but waste it on me. I have never seen Piers Morgan laugh so much.
I love this video. Especially the part where Gene Simmons tells Piers Morgan he thinks Donald Trump will win next election.
Saw kiss in New Zealand in Auckland at westernsprings back in the eighties what a night to remember. Thank you for all your hard work and dedication to your fans . Trust Israel and Palistin can live in peace together ❤️
he won the last election too so we'll see if that matters this time but i must have missed the part where Gene said he would win
poor thing, you believe trumps word that he won after all he’s done to con votes? 😂 he’s not smart
It wasn’t there
Yep, and nothing was done about the fraud. If votes don't count, the country is done for.
You didn't. It was never mentioned. Click bate
clever guy and level headed.
I loved the Apprentice where Piers won. I remember he was in charge of an auction and he was like, let’s get these people drunk because then they will bid on anything. Gotta love that. He deserved the win!
that show was amazing
Such an intelligent, erudite, rational rock-god.
Oh, please!
@@yankee2666 You're welcome.
And I especially enjoyed his opinion on Trump.
Gene Simmons he is a logical thinker and I admire that reflection. Humor never hurt anyone.I wish him well
yes that's what i thought, deep thinker, not afraid think and speak
I used to dispise his music but now see a different person . Pray for u all. GB AT LEAT HE IS HONEST AND HAS A GOOD PERSONALLITY. TY FOR HAVING MERCY ON OTHERS.
Gene is a rock legend. He never mentions Trump in this clip though…
Thank you. I heard nothing about Trump.
Gene is a lucky bastard who treats people like shit.
Praying he is right. What a gentleman.
Well... this aged very well.
We all play our parts in life , and if you love him or hate him, you sure well have to admire Gene Simmons , in the career and life and the legacy he help build.
Gene is Rock n Roll royalty! While I’ll likely never get to interview him, I’ll always treasure seeing him perform live! A true bucket list experience.
Gene Simmons is NOT ROCK ROYALTY
Kiss is one of THE most overrated bands of all time. UGH!
Saw them live, thank you Kiss and God for them.
Gene lost me when he was pushing the VAXXX
When did this happen
@@BarryFromEastenders When they wanted to be allowed to play live again.
@@Robb001 🤦
Gene Simmons is an exceptional man!!
Love him..
I saw Kiss a few times in the 70's. Kiss was scheduled to play at my college gymnasium and the ticket was $1.00. The fire Marshall would not allow Pyro in the gym, so Kiss packed up and left. Many years later, I contacted Gene's personal manager, and I sent the full concert ticket with a letter of the story to the curator of the Kiss museum.
True story
Gene knows how to make money and keep his fans.. he’s smart and well spoken and doesn’t want to say the wrong words to piss anybody off good luck on your last tour Gene shalom
He and his family have an appreciation for our country in a way that those of us born here can't. I pray that his belief that President Trump will win the next election comes true. I don't know of anyone who could survive what he's been through since he first announced in 2015.
Great interview 😊
Wow! What a super person Gene Simmons comes across as. I had no idea.
BTW wasn't KISS a drag band? Just check out the make up. Imagining Gene telling the artist "Umn, honey, need more white on the left to even it out." 😂😂🤣That sounds G... I mean, prideful 😉
Gene Simmons..A legend
Mr. Simmons the big “ G” - is one intelligent man! Loved this interview!
🇺🇸The question is:
Can we get an honest election? 😔
Gene is such a personable straight talker. I may be late but I'm now a fan.

KISS’s Gene Simmons To Anti-Vaxxers, Unvaccinated ‘You Are An Enemy’
If G Simmons had any brain cells KISS wouldve stopped touring years ago
Give this guy his own show now,
I am a bassist today because of Mr Simmons. The last few years, I have felt my admiration was poorly placed as his personality became more apparent over the years. I was a star struck kid with a dream. This clip at least gave me a glimmer of hope for Gene. His thoughts on the Israeli/Arabic conflict is commendable to say the least, naïve but commendable. I would love to see his offering come to light, but with the tensions in the region, I dont think this is a possibility.
What makes you think he is naive?
@@JeWCyDuDe be real, his approach to the middle east could never work, as the blood feud between the children of Abraham goes back centuries and no one has been able to change that. I see that this is being translated so Im not sure where you come from or what religion you follow, you got to understand this is way deeper than what anyone today can comprehend.
@Jonas Overka well I'm a Jew. I understand where this all stems from. His solution is simple....remove the terrorist organizations and leave the civilian population. To some degree he is right as Israeli Muslim Arabs don't seem to be the problem at all in Eretz Israel. They have merged with Israeli Jews and there is not violence from them.
..
He is very basic in his playing. He is a basic Jew bassist.
@@JeWCyDuDe removing the terrorists is going to be difficult, I think they are not only entrenched but scattered throughout the middle east. I do agree with your
assessment. My heritageis Lithuanian
Gene Simmons for Vice President in 2024!
