Gene Simmons reveals the UNTOLD STORIES about his Life

Great interview Brother!✡️✡️✡️

this sucked 🙄

Good family man?!? Ok

I wasn't really a Kiss fan but honestly the first 7 Kiss albums with the original line up (1974-1979) are some GREAT records and catchy numbers. You can't judge a book by its cover – those guys aren't hard rock, just pure classic rock n roll.

Gene Simmons is the Guru of Rock ‘n’ Roll. I thoroughly enjoy listening to this man. His knowledge is infinite.

Should of pressed him on the c 19 issue...Probably was not allowed because of the platform and to get the interview...He was a real shill on the topic and a complete asshole however what do you expect from his tribe that made BILLIONS on the BS and killed the cattle...I guess not all of us are the chosen ones.

this was sooooo coool!

There's nobody famous u don't meet when you're the biggest mob racketeer in history ❤

One of Gene’s best interviews

I love how you incorporated old family pics of his when he was littlw, with his mom as well as when he was older.

Totally loved this interview fabulous 👍👍👍👍

Certified beatlemaniac here. Since i was 2. Im 42 now. I love this episode ❤

Superb episode, very informative 10/10

A fabulous interview!

Watch a movie called Green Book

My eldest sister was at the Cobo Hall Detroit some guy she was dating loved KISS they both were surprised Alive came out

Gene loved stories about your mom you should make a movie about your mom the focus on her then you I was so touched I would like to meet you one day my name is Robert Guzma

Wow, incredible conversation, newfound respect for both gentlemen❤

Drag me kicking and screaming, that is CS. Leuis , he sounds Christian now!! 💯💯💯

Shocking knowledge of history
Learned quite a bit
Very interesting

Michael why didn’t you ask him about calling the unvaccinated “the enemy” ? A lot of people suffered because of people like him.

Gene is extremely intelligent but does quite often get his facts wrong, for example, Mary Leaky (Not LS Leaky) did find an Australiopethicus Skull in Tanzania (Not Tanzanica) in the Olduvai Gorge in 1959, but it was Raymond Dart who actually founded the species in Taung South Africa in a rock quarry and being Australian named the Autraliopethicus Africanus not Leaky in 1924. Also, it's funny of all the tens of millions of people who Gene met in his life, to make the claim he is the only one he ever met that read the Encyclopedia Britannica cover to cover lol.

Almost anyone who was interested and lived in the 70s especially had the Encyclopedia Britannica in their house. Macromedia Micrropedia, world Book, Altlas (giant), etc. I know I did and many of my friends did. I read it cover to cover multiple time as did many of my friends.

Another major error was St Peter was the first Pope of the Roman Catholic Church, not Constantine and it was the Council of Nicaea in 325 not the Council of Midea in 315 AD. Secondly on the subject, not only was Constantine not a Pope but there were 35 popes before his death and he was never even baptized till on his deathbed in 337 AD on his deathbed and definitely never even clergy.

My favorite part “my early days with the mob?” Good interview though

Seen Kiss twice now! I wanted to see them way back but they got sick! I was so ready to go! Face painted and so excited! So when I could I made sure I say them the next time! One of the my favorite groups! Just a blast to see! 😝 What’s up Gene?! The Demon 😈!

When I first tried Rock and Brews, I was not feeling it when I first went, because I am a die hard rock fan and it lives in my home! Rock 🎸 stuff everywhere. KISS, ACDC, etc… I grew up on Rock. 🤘 It was like the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inside, so it has a lot of pop influences and a lot of other influences and it’s not rock so much to me, completely at least just somewhat Rock, you know?! BUT if Gene approves I am cool enough with it. lol And that is how it is now with the Hard Rock Casinos as well and how stuff is nowadays. It’s fine and can be fun. But honestly the food at Rock and Brews is great! It’s actually a great restaurant. It’s expensive but it’s worth it for a themed restaurant at least compared to other restaurants! I love the Cajun Noodles! 😋 I hope to see KISS again and meet you in person one day! I wish I could have partied with you when you guys were younger! 😈😎👹 Man that would have been good times! And Ozzy and other greats too! You seem like you would be funny as hell at parties! 😌! I love Australopithecus too! 😜😝🐺! 🔮 Hehe! I am glad your family survived in you my friend. I hope we never have to experience another World War. Hopefully China and others fall in line and stop playing games or whatever is exactly going hehe.

It’s great when people can blend cultures and get along… sounds delicious 😋. People need to clean up New York and make it beautiful like it should be. More beautiful than ever. Make New York great again!

Best interview/best interviewer great going Michael

Should have left the stuff about ww2 out. Lies.

You who push "God", but reject the Essene Teachings, will be humiliated by the LORD!

Thoroughly enjoyed that interview and I'm not even a KISS fan--just came across it and decided to give it a listen. Glad I did!

When I was a kid in the early eighties I was terrified of Jean Simmons as The Demon. 😂😂.

Thank you. This was fascinating

Highly interesting! A number of topics resonated with me, especially the lack of discipline in today's day & age. My parents were both first generation Americans, who were raised in NYC, & I was raised much the same way as Gene describes. Thanks for the interview & your time & talent, gentlemen.

Great interview! Seeing excerpts from this interview popping up on rock music sites. I’m trying to think of other NY area musicians from the era that would have good stories about the clubs back then, so far I came up with Carmine Appice (Phil Basile managed his band), Genes former bandmate Peter Criss, Felix Cavaliere, Frankie Valli, and Dee Snider, Mark Mendoza and Jay Jay French from Twisted Sister.

Loved this ❤

At 14 in the 70s I pretty much was obsessed with KISS. I went to many concerts Gene Simmons was my favorite but man is greedy and money hungry

Gene's a great guy but his hang up on the Beatles & Elvis fans yelling contest is so weak he brings this up numerous times. So he is talking about the Beatles debut in the early 60s. So Gene where were you those early Elvis years like '53,'54,'55,56,57 to compare?
Nowhere, Enough already.

New York Dolls, Harlots of 42nd Street.

Gene is full of himself. Doesnt let michael talk. He reminds me of donald trump in terms of talking too much and the way he uses his hands and all that. ”Never did drugs”. Yeah right, one of their favorite bands were the new york dolls.

Gene and KISS are legendary. They’ve certainly left their mark on the world; I always feel blessed to hear Gene’s thoughts.

Great interview but he is wrong about dads and the single mom problem.

I didn’t know the mafia began as a legitimate organization to protect people from the Moroccans. It makes sense though.

Never trust a man who will produce vices to sell you, but won't consume any of them himself.

See THIS version of Gene? I absolutely love it. I’ve had the privilege of spending some social time with him and he’s a great guy….if it’s the right time. Coincidentally, I met his mother too-when she was Mrs. Lebowski-lovely regal woman.

Gene is a fantastic human being who has truly lived. His arrogance drives me up the wall, but ultimately I see that calming as he ages. And many people don’t realise the charitable work he does. A paradox of a human-whom, at his best, is one of my heroes.

GREAT Interview, Mr. F
