Gene Simmons Hints At His Solo Band Will Top KISS With Setlist Of Never-Played Songs

According to Gene Simmons, his solo band will play songs KISS never did.

“Hey everybody, it’s Gene Simmons. Couldn’t wait to tell you this but we got everything lined up,” the bassist said about his upcoming solo tour in a video message on X. “We’re gonna go out there and play for you. The Gene Simmons band touring North America for thirty maybe forty cities. We’re adding them as we go along.”

He shared when they will start, saying, “We’re gonna start April 3rd in Anaheim, California. April 4th is Temecula. Never been there. We’re gonna be there. And we’re gonna be visiting your neck of the woods. We’re gonna ignore New York and LA for now, and we’re really going to bring the show to you.”

“Now, what can you expect? Well, we’re going to be doing our favorite KISS tunes, yours, but that ain’t all. Check. Are we going to do songs that KISS has never done before live? Check. You bet you. Are we going to record some songs that have actually never been recorded by KISS? Yup. We’re also going to be doing some cool covers that I’ve always wanted to do, and you never know what they’re going to be,” Gene revealed about what to expect.

The rocker also had some good news for the fans as he shared in the rest of the video, “The other thing is we want you to join the fun. Yeah, you. Over there. Can you sing a little bit? You don’t have to be Pavarotti. Can you play a little guitar? Can you beat on the drums? You don’t have to be an expert. You never know, we may pull you up on stage with us.”
