Gene Simmons Says KISS Will Return to Touring When Scientists Give the ‘OK’

Gene Simmons, like many other musicians, should be on tour right now, but he made it very clear that KISS won’t return to their “End of the Road” farewell tour until the novel coronavirus is completely under control.

In a Facebook Live interview with United States ambassador to New Zealand and Samoa Scott Brown, Simmons was asked when KISS’ farewell tour would return to the road. Simmons responded, “First and foremost, it doesn’t matter about me, me, me and the band and all that stuff. The most important thing is to keep you guys safe, ’cause we love you. Without the fans, we’re nothing and we’re nobody. I’d be asking you, if you were next in line, if you’d like some fries with that. In fact, that person is cooler than I will ever be. So it’s less about self-aggrandizement and more about we are going out there once it’s safe.”

Simmons added, “Once we have a vaccine out there and the scientists — not the politicians — are telling us, ‘Okay, open the doors. Celebrate life. Go out there and enjoy yourself.’ Then we’re going out there.”

Simmons has been very vocal about taking the coronavirus seriously and has engaged with many fans on Twitter as of late encouraging them to wear masks to help mitigate the spread of COVID-19.

ACE FREHLEY On Possibility Of Playing With KISS Again: ‘What’s Gonna Happen Is Gonna Happen’

Original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley has once again said that he is up for a reunion of the original band, but only if the price is right.

During an appearance earlier today (Monday, April 27 — his 69th birthday) on SiriusXM‘s “Trunk Nation”, Frehley stated about his former bandmates: “I texted Paul [Stanley] and Gene [Simmons] last week and just wished them well, and Peter [Criss]. And I got a text from Doc [McGhee, KISS manager]. Everybody’s okay — thank God. Knock on wood. Eric Singer‘s been sending me some silly texts [Laughs] ‘Cause me and Eric always got along really well on the road.

“Everything’s cool,” he continued. “What’s gonna happen is gonna happen. But everything is delayed at this juncture, so who knows? … I’m doing my own thing. Unless they come forward and the price is right, you’re not gonna see me anywhere close by.”

In the year and a half after KISS announced its “End Of The Road” farewell tour, fans wondered openly if original members Frehley and Criss would be involved in the trek, especially considering the apparent recent goodwill between Stanley and Simmons and Frehley. Ace‘s latest album “Spaceman” — a title suggested by Simmons himself — features two songs the pair wrote together, and the duo completed a joint summer 2018 tour of Australia, after which Frehley fired his solo backing band and hired Simmons‘s.

Two years ago, Frehley told VintageRock.com that “the only way” he would “seriously consider” taking part in “End Of The Road” is “if I took back my make-up and costume and my character — which I designed.” He added that current KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer “is not a bad guitar player, but he basically just mimics everything I wrote, and tries to imitate my persona. He’s been doing it for 15 years,” he said. “But the reality is I’m the original guy. And nobody can really copy the way I play guitar.”

Gene talks Covid-19

Good Day LA

He said Kiss were “doing our part” and “writing checks” for “important stuff,” continuing: “I just sent a nice big check to the children’s hospital here in L.A. because you not only have children suffering from this horrible thing, there are children who are also fighting cancer.” That led him to insist: “We have nothing to complain about. Stop complaining – I keep saying that all the time… There are some miserable things going on out there; people are losing their lives. … We’re in this together – the only way is the lonely way.”

Simmons confirmed that Kiss planned to fulfil their tour commitments, saying: “We’re gonna go back once it’s safe, once there’s a cure. We would never put our fans in danger, or ourselves.”

 

Bruce Kulick discusses feud with brother Bob

Ultimate Classic Rock

Five months after being accused of being “dishonorable and dishonest” by his brother Bob over a business matter, former Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick has said that he is not going to air his dirty laundry in public.

Back in November, Bob, who co-wrote several songs for Kiss and served as a session guitarist on some of their albums, publicly called out Bruce — as well as Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons and Kiss’ manager Doc McGhee — for allowing autographed photos of the brothers to be sold without Bob’s permission. “This is called copyright infringement and an indication to all of you as to where my back stabbing brother Bruce is in all this!” Bob wrote, adding that Bruce has taken out a restraining order against him. “Disgraceful, uncalled for and a situation that will be answered in time!”
