King of Bees posted:Yeah, he hated singing. But like everything else musically he was really good at it. in those days they would do top 40 stuff, like mo-town tunes and doing the horn fills with their mouths. someone played an old bootleg for me i got respect for gene and paul as businessmen, ace and peter are both great examples of how to piss it away with drugs and booze

Nathan Rabin (still the best writer the AV Club ever had) has declared on multiple occasions that Gene was the interview subject he hated the most. You can probably imagine why. If you need help: back when he and Paul were putting the band together after the implosion of Wicked Lester, they had a great musician try out for the guitarist gig. Gene nixed the guy and told him exactly why to his face: "You're talented, but we're trying to emulate the Beatles here, and there weren't any black guys in the Beatles." Billy Preston would have words. reallivedinosaur posted:vinnie vincent owns Was fired by Gene for being "unethical." And it's never been stated by either party what exactly THAT meant. So...what does Gene Simmons consider poor ethics for a rock band? The world may never know.

There's a story vinnie sold a fan what he said was his favorite custom guitar, when it was an off the shelf model, and sold it for way more than it was worth There's lots of stories about what a douchebag and weirdo VV was and is. Mark Slaughter has lots of stories about the Invasion times - Slaughter basically took over Vinnie Vincent's record deal after the guy self destructed. My favorite Vinnie stories are the more recent "keeping dead dogs in storage containers" one, and when he tried to auction off his old KISS poo poo for ridiculous prices, like 50,000 for his guitars or the bolo tie he wore on the Lick it Up album cover. e: also he famously never actually signed a contract with KISS. he tried to auction this unsigned contract (ie: a piece of paper with no way to authenticate) for like 100 grand or some poo poo. lmao. ee: my guinea pigs and I are making a cover band called "the Guinea Vincent invasion" it will be really cool because they can squeak really high.

In the first grade, me and three of my friends dressed up as Kiss for the school talent show (@ 1977) and air-guitared our way to stardom (I was motherfucking Ace Frehley, of course). We won first place. However, we never got our prize (one of those giant, decorated cookies) and we surmised that the older jr. high kid who was "activities commissioner" kept it for himself or gave it to his girlfriend. He claims he gave it to the one friend who wasn't present to complain, trying to turn us against each other. We learned the peaks and pitfalls of show business at 6 years old.

In 1990 a homeless guy in Santa Monica claimed to be Peter Criss and a woman who claimed to have had an affair with Peter flew him out to her home in Boston. Eventually Tom Arnold got involved and tried to help the guy. Turns out it was not Peter Criss. Eventually all parties involved went on Phil Donahue.
