When my brother and I were watching "Gene Simmons Family Jewels," he was surprised that Gene had his pair of KISS boots in the basement when Nick had to get them for him. Greatest band of the world that no will not forget.
Ever one needs to stop dissing KISS they are the best band in the world ICP is second but it takes guts to get up on stage with all that make up and costumes and sing like they do
@sabbath7 here in sydney on about 3 or 4 stations you will find i was made for loving you rock n roll all night sure know something shout it out loud beth god gave rock n roll to you detroit rock city all these songs are shuffled and played on many stations. what planet you been living on ??
look that a good of a rock and roll interview as your gonna see..,KISS is still the hottest band in the wolrd!!! man the haters are everywhere..,go see them in concert..,youll change your tune!
I soooo wish Sam Newman had been there! Would've been either hilariously funny or hideously uncomfortable - either way it would have been great television.
@sabbath7 did you notice how tommy can play solo's with out fucking up, did you notice how eric can play more than a simple 1..2..beat, did you notice how sonic boom topped the charts and was a sold out world tour ?? where is peter and ace ??? ace is playing empty night clubs, his solo album fell off the charts in 3 weeks and he still cant play deuce...as for peter, i have seen 8 yr old kids play better drums...tommy and eric play the characters better than the originals ever could !!!
@sabbath7 yeh but in the 70's all of kiss's hit songs were written by paul or gene. ace wrote album fillers. peter had 1 chart hit beth, ace had nothing. the only chemistry is paul and gene. acer and peter where just 2 members that time. after ace and peter left kiss still had hit songs and albums, ACE AND PETER DIDNT. ace and peter had NO solo success while kiss still had platinum albums and hit singles through 80's and 90's. ace and peter are replaceable. this is proven
@sabbath7 sure they had chemistry, but what happened to it ?? too many drugs thats what...its ace and peters fault things worked out the way they did...dont blame paul or gene for moving forward, but blame ace and peter for bringing it to a hault !!
@sabbath7 paul sold out 3 nights in sydney, ace played to 150 people in sydney, les than a quarter full. everybody knows its tommy and eric, and everyone knows ace and peter are has beens who can no longer play
@cropsidile Anomaly was a masterpiece of CRAP. A 10 year old kid could have done a better mixing job. The songs were crap, the production/engineering were crap. And I have been to a handful of Ace shows since the album came out. No more than 1/3 full at ANY of the shows. He may as WELL be playing empty bars. Peter's playing also diminished which is why KISS did not renegotiate a contract with him.
@sabbath7 its not just sydney, heaps of counties play many kiss songs. kiss had different hits in different countires. i wouldnt brag about living in america, where guns are legal, and you have the highest homeless rate in the developed world :) you guys dont even have free medical treatment, we do here :). anyways many parts of america are fucked but there are many classic rock stations there that play numerous kiss songs. just because you havent heard doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
The new guys play fine. They just need their own makeup and characters. Otherwise, it just isn't right. It would be like Elvis's old bandmates playing with an Elvis impersonator or Paul and Ringo playing with two guys who look like John and George and singing/playing like them. Most bands aren't considered as respectable once originals drop out and they tour State Fairs with younger replacements, but KISS is unique and has succeeded with different lineups...just get the new guys new makeup!
Ye godz!!! Look at Paul's face; a friend of mine pointed out that he's had a really bad facelift and you can really tell if you take a good look at him. They are not aging gracefully, sorry to say. And yes, I agree; it's not Kiss without Ace & Peter. It's the Gene & Paul show. Sad but true. The 4:00 mark is such a bunch of crap; you're in it for the money, guys, admit it!
@Mammo - you are kidding right? For starters, Ace had more charisma in his little finger than Gene and Paul. I applaud Ace for not being a part of Kiss now. They are a parody now. It's sad to see 50+ year olds dressing with full make up the time is passed. Ace made Kiss rock. And ps - I am a professional composer and Gene and Paul are no musical geniuses. They write catchy rock songs. In perspective please.
ye but back tgeb they at least had some kind of soul when they were playing. and also they needed the money and the fame. right now, they dont need a shit. they have more money than anyone needs.
true, but theres also another reason. kiss used to be a group existing of four incredible members (paul, gene, ace and peter). now its a dictature and a big fat joke led by two greedy bastards who lost their rock n roll souls somewhere in the early 80s at the same time as they lost the real rockers. peter criss and ace frehley.
So Kiss went back to the Destroyer costumes after wearing them from 98 until 2001. I don't like the way they look now. The original version was okay in 76. Looks plastic.
They are so more humble then they were young! They still awesome!
Love them!
Paul said: They are honoured
by anyone who comes to their show.
This is really humble.🙏
They're FANTASTIC!
"open arms and legs" only kiss could get away with that
i remember this too!! good stuff.

"We've always been welcome here with open hearts... and legs" LMAO
Paul Stanley is so funny.

Although musically there are and there were better bands, you've got to give them the credit of being original characters. KISS rules...

man the haters are everywhere..,go see them in concert..,youll change your tune!
Paaaaalease come to tha states!!!!

I soooo wish Sam Newman had been there! Would've been either hilariously funny or hideously uncomfortable - either way it would have been great television.

Yay...Australia has suddenly realised its own greatness, Kiss come here first to play.
@sabbath7 yeh but in the 70's all of kiss's hit songs were written by paul or gene. ace wrote album fillers. peter had 1 chart hit beth, ace had nothing. the only chemistry is paul and gene. acer and peter where just 2 members that time. after ace and peter left kiss still had hit songs and albums, ACE AND PETER DIDNT. ace and peter had NO solo success while kiss still had platinum albums and hit singles through 80's and 90's. ace and peter are replaceable. this is proven
lol. this was funny
lol i thought it was something to do with peter criss. thanks for clearing that up.
@MrCelestial1992 they only appeared on this show because of the grandprix. they were only allowed to appear on a melbourne tv show.
Gene simmons steals the limelight with that rediculous tounge! lol
now you got it :P
@TheMJTV because they were replaced by tommy and eric singer
@sabbath7 sure they had chemistry, but what happened to it ?? too many drugs thats what...its ace and peters fault things worked out the way they did...dont blame paul or gene for moving forward, but blame ace and peter for bringing it to a hault !!
Que zapatitos los de Gene..
Great shoes, Gene
Aguante KISS, 5 de Aril en River
I would have said where's Ace
@TheMJTV ...umm, because they're noy in KISS?
Kiss is the best band EVER.The rest is a hell
Amanda Lindgren AC/DC?
is that a cross dangling from Paul's neck?
did he convert?
Black spikes have been there for years... look at the Dynasty album cover.
Eles não precisa que você pesta goste deles
they're all so nervous lol!
What happened to the other 2 members in this interview?
They blew up and evaporated...
man, i miss Ace and Peter, those 2 werent so obsessed about having sex with random girls, they cared more about the actual MUSIC
Sam Newman would of put them straight on the comedy stakes :P hence we couldn't possibly have a Australian do that.
@sabbath7 paul sold out 3 nights in sydney, ace played to 150 people in sydney, les than a quarter full. everybody knows its tommy and eric, and everyone knows ace and peter are has beens who can no longer play
@TheMJTV they quit the band on 2004 and 2002
damn straight, what happened with him that night?
Paul seems so much nicer than Gene....
@cropsidile Anomaly was a masterpiece of CRAP. A 10 year old kid could have done a better mixing job. The songs were crap, the production/engineering were crap.

lol @ 2:15 ya we saw the vid
SOMEBODY PLEASE EXPLAIN 00:38-00:48 HE SAYS CRISS DOES HE MEAN PETER CRISS???
It's his necklace
@sabbath7 its not just sydney, heaps of counties play many kiss songs. kiss had different hits in different countires. i wouldnt brag about living in america, where guns are legal, and you have the highest homeless rate in the developed world :) you guys dont even have free medical treatment, we do here :). anyways many parts of america are fucked but there are many classic rock stations there that play numerous kiss songs. just because you havent heard doesnt mean it doesnt exist.
If Ace was there he would have stolen the show and little man Simmons would have been pissed.
CHRIS!
4:43 he tries....
Gene says SIZE matters, i saw his video and he definately AINT got size! LMAO!!
Tommy and Eric here.
Gene goes for the Blues
All right
The new guys play fine. They just need their own makeup and characters. Otherwise, it just isn't right. It would be like Elvis's old bandmates playing with an Elvis impersonator or Paul and Ringo playing with two guys who look like John and George and singing/playing like them. Most bands aren't considered as respectable once originals drop out and they tour State Fairs with younger replacements, but KISS is unique and has succeeded with different lineups...just get the new guys new makeup!
When Paul says we rarely get to meet somone who's slept with as many women as us Gene's just like he wishes.
@cosmokramer41 lol that is funny
yeh agreed
they are just after the women that came with being in kiss
Ye godz!!! Look at Paul's face; a friend of mine pointed out that he's had a really bad facelift and you can really tell if you take a good look at him. They are not aging gracefully, sorry to say. And yes, I agree; it's not Kiss without Ace & Peter. It's the Gene & Paul show. Sad but true. The 4:00 mark is such a bunch of crap; you're in it for the money, guys, admit it!
i dont know about paul converting, however i know gene still wont eat pork lol
@sabbath7 yeh but your forgetting pauls sold over 100 k whiles aces is struggling to hit 60k in sales. rip ace LOL
pretty cool, but was it just me or was Gene Simmonds totally underwhelmed by the whole experience of being on the footy show!!
How the fuck does gene that thing with his tounge ??
They played great in Melbourne after the Grand Prix.
Gene is still a Tool though.
The Destroyer costumes are to hold in the bellies
@Mammo - you are kidding right? For starters, Ace had more charisma in his little finger than Gene and Paul. I applaud Ace for not being a part of Kiss now. They are a parody now.

ye but back tgeb they at least had some kind of soul when they were playing. and also they needed the money and the fame. right now, they dont need a shit. they have more money than anyone needs.
Yeah.... and we care a lot about what YOU have to say about it! Jeez
I bet ya Genes wife is one lucky woman!!
Who has an animal tongue at a tv interview
paul gained some weight but hes still da man
KISS is not awsome...Its fucking great!:P
Uh wipeing his face.
True that, but it still doesn't make it any more tolerable in my eyes. In fact, it makes him even less worthy to me. Just my take on it, mind you.
true, but theres also another reason. kiss used to be a group existing of four incredible members (paul, gene, ace and peter). now its a dictature and a big fat joke led by two greedy bastards who lost their rock n roll souls somewhere in the early 80s at the same time as they lost the real rockers. peter criss and ace frehley.

lol wth??
nope
There very old
no matter how old are them, they're still hot
OMG are u kidding???? Ace was ok but peter is seriously the worst drummer ever!!! Their best period was the 80:s after the ace/peter period.
old men, ridiculous statements, crap!!
WHY DID ACE AN PETE LEAVE?! NOT FAIR!!!!!
They wanted a solo career.
