Cult rocker with longer Zunge – Keine Langeweile nach dem Kiss-Finale: Gene Simmons was 75 – Panorama

London (dpa) – Seine silver plateaus on which Gene Simmons found one of the best ways to make expenses and withdraw. After 50 years, the bassist and singer with his iconic band Kiss played the most delicious concert this month. If you feel yourself, there is no infringement on the Bühne. The kultrocker with the long pregnancy, the last 75 years has become, it is not that make-up is gone.

Abschied von Kiss, aber nicht von der Bühne

Dass es Simmons did not last long, war was omitted. In 2022 the time had come, the Kiss Abschied was my biggest loss. “The Magic of the Stage,” it said. “If a man stands on the stage, a man can quickly appear where someone on the stage is allowed to speak. If on the Ostersonntag you see four million people, the Poor resting and all cheering, it is not a vergleichbe Gefühl.”

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 my “End Of The Road”-Tour, the ways of the Corona pandemic will no longer be hatched, but the Kiss will play around 250 Concerts in 2019 and 2023. They will play both shows in the Heimatstadt New York City in Madison Square Garden statt.

Traum of 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. When a friend of the woman sees the wife of Schlagzeuger Peter Criss and a few Freunde in the Popcorn Pub in the city, Queens dabei gewesen, erzählte Simmons in dpa-Interview on 50. Band anniversary. 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.

From Israel to the US

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. This is the investigation into the “Bild” erggeben. When Simmons takes over the entsprechenden documentation for the second time, you can beat the cool Rockstar with the Tränen.

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 shows up in Kiss costume as “The Demon” (der Dämon) and fights and (art) is broke, nor American blades.

Aim for the American Trauma

In Armut, Simmons changed from 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 Marke and a kind of dafür, the band logo and the iconic figures for feature films, clothing and uncomplicated 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 appeared in Germany as “Kiss – Von Phantomen gejagt” in the Kinos kam, unwollt komisch. 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.

Erfolg with Kiss, soldiers Glück with Shannon

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 over 150 hitherto unpublished songs is available for 2000 US dollars (approximately 1800 euros) in a small treasury. For the statistical value of 50,000 dollars (approximately 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.

No long roads 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 would be the case, who is a Teil von Kiss zu sein,” said Gene Simmons in conversation with the Deutschen Presse-Agentur. “Aber man should clear, when man vom Tisch aufstehen muss, when man fell gegesen hat. Who can find a man in his life? We live in reichlich abbekommen.”
