Bass player Gene is often the most visible member of the ‘Crazy Crazy Nights’ group through his outrageous comments and starring in his own reality show, ‘Gene Simmons FamilyJewels’, but Paul says he has equal input within their group.
When asked if any of the band – which also includes Tommy Thayer and Eric Singer – were jealous of Gene, he exclusively told BANG Showbiz: “Well, he gets attention for reasons that have nothing to do with what I do. It’s not a slight, but I’m busy living my life, not creating a life for television.
“There is no such thing as reality television, there’s reality and there’s television. I find it interesting though, when, because of those activities, some people have a sense of Gene’s role in the band being far greater than what it actually is.
“There’s a transference because he somehow gets given a certain cache which is a little distorted. But so be it. My life is full and spectacular.”
Paul also admitted he and Gene have had their arguments and fallouts, but they are getting currently getting on better than ever.
