But I will say the concerts were a blast to shoot and KISS tried breaking my website by posting my review in 2019 and a few years earlier for Tacoma Weekly.
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.
