That made me laugh...

Gene Simmos gets it Bump!

[Fairview]

He could have married a normal woman but instead chose to marry a little red x?

[Paul Heinzman]

I've heard him accused of a lot of things, but never boring or pompous. Try this: Put on Kiss Alive, then try to go to sleep (not boring). Now put on Double Plantinum and try to contemplate the duality of man (not pompous).

I don’t mind the music; I don’t like the man.

Seems to me that he’s beloved by East Coasters.
I’m from the Midwest. Can’t stand Bon Jovi either, another East Coast love affair.

[Kimmers]

I agree. I can’t say I was ever a KISS fan but since I have been watching the show I am a Gene Simmons fan. He is a good dad with a great family. His children seem far more mature than many kids their age.

I did catch the show when he and his daughter were visiting our warriors in the hospital. There was a genuine warmth and admiration he and his daughter had for our troops.

[rjsimmon]

One nit to pick.

He visited Marines at Camp Pendleton, not soldiers.

How many cliches were in that post?

I don’t know. To be perfectly honest I didn’t bother to count.

How many do you say?

By the way, it's a volunteer army, all volunteer. The fact that anybody would have a ******* thing to say about that is astonishing.

I always find it amazing that the moonbats can't figure this out for themselves.

I can respect someone who is of the opinion the Iraq war was a mistake and we need to get out now or someone who is a pacifist (They are wrong, but everybody is entitled to their wrong opinion)

What I can't stand for the life of me is these ignorant freaking brain dead moonbats who think young American men and women are somehow being manipulated to join the military. They disrespect the fact they have made a decision to join the finest military in the world

Would this be considered a tongue lashing?

[JustaDumbBlonde]

"One solid family man."

Yeah, the guy that claims to have slept with 5,000 women and flatly refuses to marry the mother of his children. Not exactly what I would hold up as an example of a 'solid family man'. I will grant you that he takes care of his family and that his children seem very bright and well-adjusted. But his very outward disgust for the sanctity of marriage and being faithful is nothing to admire, IMHO.

I think I’ll play some Detroit Rock City on the Bose tonight before I turn in.

Gene Rocks!

I think I’ll pick up my Gibson (it’s been way too long) and jam out some Detroit Rock City tonight!

[HEY4QDEMS]

I wish I knew how to play, I have a fat strat that I pluck around on, maybe if I ever get around to learning how to really twang it, I’ll buy a Gibson LP. I really like the look of the Black Beauty.

>"I think I’ll play some Detroit Rock City on the Bose tonight before I turn in."

Just dont play "God of Thunder" I used to think KISS was it back in the 70s. That song now makes me cringe. Just remarkably boringly nerve gratingly bad song now. Other than that and just a few other stinkers they did have a lot of really cool tunes!

[Grizzled Bear]

A friend overseas had a 71 Les Paul Gold Top. Playing that was SWEET!

I almost got him to trade it for my Amp (a Peavy). We’d loan gear to each other once in awhile.

I never got my Zoom multi-effects pedal back...

[ronnie raygun]

GO GENE! TELL THEM WHAT THEY DON’T WANT TO HERE! LOVE YOUR SHOW, KEEP ON KEEPIN ON! THIS IS A TRUE PATRIOT!

[Randy Larsen]

VERY VERY IMPRRESSIVE, I always knew there was something I liked about you!
