Yes a thank you to all vets and active personnel. There are some of us who appreciate the freedom given us by your fighting and dying, THANK YOU!

I personally don't like Gene Simmons, but this was nice.

“Personally don’t much care for KISS but that was pretty cool.’

Ditto. I had one of their albums once just because it had a cool cover, but I never could stand more that a couple of songs they did. But, still what a cool USO tribute. It even tops the USO show with Egyptian belly dancers that performed for us.

I am too old to be a KISS fan years ago, but like watching his show....He has had many shows for the military and took his daughter to a hospital to visit the military men/women in the hospital, he was moved to tears and so was his daughter...He was very well received by our warriors....He is a not a druggy and don't smoke or drink. Also his kids don't do them either....not married to their mother, but they have lived together for over 20 years...she wants to get married he doesn't. She was a playboy bunny,over 20 years ago, but seems to be a nice woman....

Bands on his record label can't do drugs either, and they can't drink to excess.

One of his funniest shows involved his lady and her sister going into a snob day spa and were treated rudely...So he bought the business and went in with the gals and fired all the staff and gave the shop to his live in...

Isn't that something we have all encountered at one time or another and would like to be able to do that..as new owner, told everyone to pack up their stuff and get out....but he is a workaholic...

He is a Jew with a stereotypical Jewish mother. She has been on the show also....He once said (in an non insulting way) gentiles were put on earth to be his servants...his lady friend gave him a poke in the side and he just laughed and I think apologized....he does like to rattle peoples chains....

He shows great respect to his mother...

His show is a laugh riot.

The two kids are freaking hysterical...especially since they got their sense of humor from Gene and enjoy messing with him. You can tell from the show that there is a lot of love in that family.

I wasn’t really a KISS fan until late in life, even though they were big when I was in high school...however I’ve come to appreciate most of their music and I admire Simmons’ work ethic, personal principles and his adherence to them.

just sayin...

Anyone who knows the story of when KISS played Cadillac Michigan’s High School Homecoming, way back in 1975 will know how dedicated they’ve always been to their fans.

Couldn’t say it better myself...and with all the home movies taken over the years, family is very important to both parents....most unusual for a rock star....

There’s no “will” in the first verse of the The Marines’ Hymn, Gene.
