From: ESPN.com As a devout, addicted KISS fan since I saw them on the Paul Lynde Halloween Special in 1976, I have learned to never be surprised by anything the band does. KISS has always tried to scale new, often unexplored, heights. While KISS has continued to endure, GENE SIMMONS has always shown a great enthusiasm for side projects and is known for being a tireless entrepreneur. He caught the acting bug in the 1980s. He started his own record label, and even published his own men's magazine. His involvement in auto racing led to the KISS image being placed on the NASCAR skins of Sterling Marlin and Kevin Harvick. He even had the WCW feature a KISS wrestler. Gene aggressively promotes KISS and himself, and that is why the IRL has chosen to team up with him. Like him or not, Gene will get your attention. Many KISS fans have expressed that they would rather see a new album from the band instead of seeing Gene involved in non-KISS ventures. For now, they'll look forward to PAUL STANLEY's upcoming solo album. As a KISS fan, I admire Gene's work ethic, and it has always inspired me to seek high levels of success in my own life. Today, almost 30 years after I discovered them, I'm more of a KISS fanatic than ever. My best friends and I attend KISS shows in full makeup and costumes, and we attend KISS Expos and tribute band shows all over the country. Sometimes I get teased for my unusual allegiance to the band. But like Gene himself, I just have fun and ignore the critics. Maybe you don't like GENE SIMMONS or KISS. But everyone knows who they are, and that's what the IRL is shooting for. The KISS Army wishes them both luck. Scott Engel, ESPN.com/KISS uberfan |
