“Folie à Deux” is set two years later, after a TV movie about the Joker’s original killing spree, and Arthur is over the mass adoration of his hideously made-up Joker persona. Phoenix got his inspiration by imagining the real daily life of the ’70s rock band KISS.

“Did you ever think, how about Gene Simmons from KISS? Where 20-year-olds are painting their faces, putting on platform shoes, all rock ‘n’ roll,” Phoenix says, laughing. “But what happens when you’re in your 40s and like, ‘I don’t want to put the makeup on anymore’? I just started laughing about that. Todd and I were like, maybe that’s the beginning of something.”

Legendary producer and engineer Eddie Kramer looked back on recording KISS‘ demo, and suggested that Ace Frehley had been the band’s “heart and soul.”

There are many very colorful feathers in the 82-year-old producer’s cap, most of which read like a list of who’s who of classic rock ‘n’ roll. In addition to his history-making collabs with Jimi Hendrix, The Beatles, Eric Clapton, David Bowie, Led Zeppelin, The Rolling Stones etc., Kramer also enjoyed a lengthy collaboration with KISS (which included masterminding “Alive!”, often quoted as a significant milestone in live rock albums).

That collaboration began shortly after Gene Simmons andPaul Stanley gave up on their original band Wicked Lester, whose unreleased album Kramer called a “disaster” during a recent interview on the “Jay Jay French Connection” podcast (transcribed by Ultimate Guitar):

“At Electric Lady, I would see Gene and Paul up and down the hallways, doing their thing. Ron Johnsen was their producer, and I think at that time he was also managing the Electric Lady studios. He called me up after the disaster of the Wicked Lester album, which went straight in the bloody toilet, and he says, ‘Listen, Gene and Paul, they got this idea. They want to do a rock ‘n’ roll band, would you do a demo for me?'”

Kramer, of course, agreed. Judging what he tells the Twisted Sister guitarist, watching the NYC band walk into a studio was one of those moments where you know you’re watching history unfold:

“So, on the appointed day, Gene, Paul, and Ace… just watching these guys go into the studio was just one of those moments. When Ace walked into the studio, he was so bloody skinny. He was driving a cab in the Bronx. And he was so thin, if he turned sideways, you wouldn’t even see him. But what a sweet… Ace, for me, he was the real heart and soul. A bloody good guitar player, much underrated, I think, by a lot of folks.”

“I would say there are some, could be a large number, could not, who think I’m an a**hole. In fact, I named my second solo album ‘A**hole,’ which, I thought, was akin to black people taking possession of the ‘n’ word,” the bassist said in a chat with Really Famous With Kara Mayer Robinson.

“I’m okay with being labeled or thought of as an a**hole, because I know who I am. And there are other people who think, ‘You only do this for money.’ And my response is ‘of course,’” the rocker also added.

In the rest of the interview, Simmons said he asks why he isn’t seen as ‘salt of the earth.’ Many people work tough jobs just to support their families. He notes that these workers do hard tasks every day without getting rich.

He questions why making more money changes how people view him. He also says he gives to charity and thinks that’s personal. In the end, he talked about the importance of being comfortable with yourself.

During his conversation with Really Famous With Kara Mayer Robinson, Simmons also discussed Paul Stanley’s biggest career mistake. The bassist said, “Paul knew stuff I didn’t know. I knew stuff he didn’t know. He should have taken my advice and signed Van Halen. I found that band.”

Gene added, “I couldn’t convince Paul or the rest of the guys in the band or the management. They just said, ‘What are you talking about?’ I said, ‘In a year or two, this is going to be the biggest band.’”

It all started when Simmons saw Van Halen playing at a club in Los Angeles. He wanted to help them but couldn’t get the other members of KISS or their manager, Bill Aucoin, to sign the band.

Later, Stanley and Eddie Van Halen became friends. Van Halen then got noticed by producer Ted Templeman, who helped them get a deal with Warner Bros. Records soon after Simmons’s attempt.

They say all athletes want to be rockstars, and it turns out, all rockstars want to be weather anchors.

Rock legend Gene Simmons tried his hand at the seven-day forecast on the KTLA 5 Morning News on Wednesday morning.

Pushing Henry DiCarlo aside, the Kiss frontman hollered “Good Morning L.A.!” while looking stoic in his black sunglasses.

“When you’re talking about the weather, just a reminder, you live in the lap of luxury. You’ve got the most beautiful city with the best weather on the face of the planet,” he explained

Simmons also advised KTLA viewers to leave the house and enjoy the sunshine, but before they do they have to “kiss somebody.”

“The mailman, your beautiful wife – kiss the dog, kiss life,” he continued.

WASHINGTON (TND) — Lead singer and co-founder of the legendary rock band KISS, Paul Stanley, released a short letter on social media over the weekend featuring choice words for those who support transgender procedures for minors.

Stanley called out those “normalizing and even encouraging” young children to participate “in a lifestyle” which Stanley insisted “confuses young children into questioning their sexual identification as though [sic] some sort of game.”

With many children who have no real sense of sexuality or sexual experiences caught up in the ‘fun’ of using pronouns and saying what they identify as, some adults mistakenly confuse teaching acceptance with normalizing and encouraging a situation that has been a struggle for those truly affected and have turned it into a sad and dangerous fad,” Stanley said in his letter shared on social media.

There ARE individuals who as adults may decide reassignment is their needed choice,” Stanley continued. However, he argued, “turning this into a game or parents normalizing it as some sort of natural alternative or believing that because a little boy likes to play dress up in his sister’s clothes or a girl in her brother’s” is wrong.

The issue of transgender procedures for minors has been a major point of contention between Republicans and Democrats, particularly as GOP-led states push back against the controversial practice.

While Republicans insist minors are too young to make informed decisions about these often irreversible treatments, Democrats insist not allowing them to do so deprives LGBTQ youth of ” life-saving, medically necessary” medical treatments.
