I spoke to Gene Simmons in the 80's when I was running interviews and DJing at a heavy metal network. He and the other band members had difficult days liking each other and when I asked why he thought the other band members would want to get back together for reunion tours it boiled down to $$

KISS original lineup reunited once and Gene wrote up contracts to only pay Ace and Peter like contract musicians, instead of getting the rate Gene and Paul were paid. He's a greedy, selfish bastard. I almost never hear anything positive about Gene Simmons.

Wow Sad man.. he’s the mouthpiece alright

He's a terrible person.
