Gene Simmons Can’t Read Anymore

With the Kapitel Kiss, Gene Simmons has closed the end of 2023. Shoot for the legend of the bassist now 75. The completes that Mann’s stage survey contains come from a relationship and the “American Dream” in a great price, but no more.

On the silver platter, Gene Simmons is one of the few ways to absorb and break down the costs. After 50 years, the bassist and singer played the most delicious concert with his iconic band Kiss this month. If you feel yourself, there will be no infringement on the stage. The kultrocker with the long pregnancy, on August 25th 75 years old, now runs without his famous make-up.

Fast as the Pope

That Simmons did not live long, war was left behind. In 2022 it was time, the Kiss-Abschied was my biggest missing. “The magic of the stage”, it said. “When you are on stage, the man can quickly understand where you can get the Pope’s power. When you are in the Easter Sunday in front of a four-million people, the poor are stretched out and everyone is jubilant, give him no comparable feeling.”

So the people who had the spirit of the band were never a concert. If you want to see more, you see the big arenas and the stadium. My biggest concert since 1983 in the Maracanã Stadium of Rio de Janeiro statt – for an estimated 137,000 people.

During the more “End Of The Road” tour, which was opened up due to the Corona pandemic, Kiss won 250 concerts in 2019 and 2023. They are showing both shows in the Heimatstadt New York City in Madison Square Garden statt.

Money and women

There are now a few Straßenblöcke that Kiss in the year 1973 in the first place Absolviert absolviert – for a few Leuten. My friend was supposed to see the wife of Schlagzeuger Peter Criss and a few friends at the Popcorn Pub in the city of Queens, which Simmons has turned 50. The clothes and make-up of Simmons, Criss, singer and guitarist Paul Stanley and lead guitarist Ace Frehley were not real ladies.

Common with Stanley hatte Simmons who got the Band Wicked Lester, the songs for a planned album appear, that is not nice. Simmons and Stanley gründen a new band and plant spectacle. When he started a band with the duo Ehrgeiz and Hartnäckigkeit, which Wille let go, wanted to become Rock’n’Roll-Stars. In späteren Interviews Simmons was still uninterested, but the motivation was not as big as the music, the money and the woman.

Mutter überlebte Konzentrationslager

Who Stanley descends from Simmons from a Jewish family. As Chaim Witz was born on August 25, 1949 in Haifa. His mother Flora Klein, who comes from Hungary, had overloaded the Nazi concentration camps in Ravensbrück, Flossenbürg and Mauthausen before emigrating to Israel. The investigation into the “Bild”-Zeitung ergeben is done. When Simmons takes over the entsprechenden documentation for the second time, you can beat the cool Rockstar with the Tränen.

Kiss on RTL+ Music

To the music of Kiss? Songs, music and information about the band are available on RTL+ Musik.

I’ve been muttering the blessing in the US for eight years. The father stays in Israel and the gründete are a family. From the little Chaim Witz, Eugene Klein became in America. As a beginning fisherman musician career is then in Gene Simmons um. So the rocker, who plays in Kiss costume as “The Demon” (“Der Dämon”) a fight and a (art) blut, nor American blades.

Take a break in the Schauspielerei

In Armut, Simmons was called the “American Dream”. If I’m in the war of Rockstar with the kiss, this is a terrible Geschäftsmann. There is power over Kiss a brand and such a dafür, the band logo and the iconic figures for feature films, clothing and unbridled products. Beinharte fans can indulge in a Kiss-Sarg beer dinner.

An exit in film history would be for Kiss zum Flop. The film “Kiss Meets The Phantom Of The Park” from the year 1978, in Germany as “Kiss – Von Phantomen gejagt” in the Kinos-kam, becomes disinterestedly comic. Unter Fans are a heute Kultstatus.

Simmons appeared in the 80s as a playwright. He is played in the science fiction thriller “Runaway – Spinnen des Todes” with Tom Selleck. Among other things, in the TV series “Miami Vice” and the heavy metal horror film “Trick Or Treat” with. With the Hollywood career world, this is never the case.

With thuggish women in bed

It continues with Kiss. ​​After the band had left its mask in 1983 and had a little make-up, it continued with the original make-up with the make-up in 1996. In grunge and alternative rock, 90ern Kiss suddenly dominated again as one of the most popular live groups. The classic line-up is now a year ago, from December 2, 2023 the make-up is ready for Kiss-aufritt in Madison Square Garden.

It’s not that Gene Simmons doesn’t have any money. A collection of around 150 unpublished songs to date is available for 2,000 US dollars (approx. 1,800 euros) in a small treasury. For the statistical value of 50,000 dollars (approx. 46,000 euros) the box set was brought to the kitchen in such a high-quality way.

Simmons’ American trauma is more than hereditary. There would be a realm and splendor that damn, with beautiful women in their bets. The Zwischendurch war took place with the singer Diana Ross and Cher liiert. His private happiness came in 1986 with Schauspielerin and Model Shannon Tweed. Since 2011, the Kanadierin has been heiratet. The couple hat two children.

Rest not in sight

Ob Gene Simmons in Zukunft more Zeit für seine Familie hat, is fraglich. Zur Ruhe setzen would no longer contain “The Demon”. Neben zahlreichen geschäftlichen Projecten – auch rund um die Marke Kiss – will be in Zukunft with a new Group on the Stage stehen. Gerade went to concerts in Germany for the first time with the Gene Simmons Band – in Oberhausen and at Wacken Open Air. Langeweile also didn’t dry.

“Of course it is not the case, who is a Teil von Kiss zu sein,” notes Gene Simmons. “Aber man sollte alles, wien man vom Tisch aufstehen muss, wenn man fell gegessen hat. Who fell kann man in a Leben zu sich nehmen? Wir haben reichlich abbekommen.”
