When Gene Simmons named his new album ‘Asshole’ few people would argue it was an inappropriate name. Gene does have a reputation to uphold after all.
Asshole is his first solo in 26 years. Kiss as a commercial product is pretty much about equal parts Gene’s ‘rock star’ to Paul’s ‘pop star’. Extract the Gene component into a solo record and you get a hard rock sound.
Now over to Tim Cashmere to update the story with Gene Simmons.
Tim Cashmere: Hi Gene how are ya?
Gene Simmons: Wonderful! Hold on a second!
Sarah McLachlan: Hello Tim.
TC: Hello, who is this?
SM: This is Sarah. How are you?
TC: I am not bad; I hear you’re chilling out by the pool up there?
SM: We are chilling out by the pool, yes. It’s fabulous, very good. There is no sun, but it’s still very nice.
TC: There is no sun in Brisbane?
SM: There is sun everywhere except at the pool at the hotel. It’s a bad design.
TC: …but surely you can bask in Gene Simmons’ glowing light?
