Probably as popular now as ever....Gene Simmons is a cash cow.
Hey Spades, you typed "Gene Simmons" in your title, you owe him $.75.
Journey you also typed "Gene Simmons" but since it wasn't in the title, you only owe him $.50. Be sure to make your checks payable to "Gene Simmons" and please use the official "Gene Simmons" US Postage stamp, available at your local post offices. Gene's accountants thank you in advance for your cooperation.
The music of KISS for the most part is lame. The guitars
are all one chords really. It is the marketing and the makeup that got
this band to where it was and is today. That's all in my opinion.
I've seen only a couple episodes and that came to mind right away. Two lesbians gave Gene a note to meet them at some restaurant and that he wouldn't regret it. Then he actually goes there and they ask him to donate sperm. Just seems to fake to actually happen.Most "reality" shows are arguably somewhat scripted, but Family Jewels has gone to another level and just hires actors.
Watch one episode and you can tell that those not in the family are mostly actors. The episode when the son went to a college visitation day and the one when they are in London, with the record company tour guide, are just ridiculous.
That said, it is still entertaining.
His show on A&E is good. I didn't think he was that popular though. I thought they were popular back in the 70's.
