Talking Wax with Gene Simmons

[Mr.Antonio2005]

Hi guys, today I got a sneak peek at an upcoming Gene Simmons interview with Stefan Adika.

This is 1 hour interview that covers a brief overview of the 78 solo album, talks about his mom, Ace and Peter, cancel culture, Don Rickles, meeting Andrew Dice Clay. It was funny and Gene let’s loose. Some really good laughs here and advice.

Stefan is really close friend of Eric Singer, had Bruce on and now he finally got Gene on the vinyl show.

Here is a link to Stefan channel. Subscribe and it should get posted on Talking Wax 8 PM West time this Saturday night!

OMFG - literally his first actual answer to a question three minutes in starts with Ace, Peter, dysfunction, drugs, alcohol. He goes on a lengthy anti Ace & Peter rant. The question was about his solo album. I'm actually starting to think these guys need help.

Will never listen or read another Gene lor Paul interview. Same ol shit everytime

It is nauseating. Stefan asks a musical question, sets it up for minutes to steer Gene in the right direction ... he mentions the musical diversity of his solo album and all ... and then Gene starts with "we did solo albums because the band was disfuntional because of A&P" and badtalks for 2 minutes ...
LET IT BE! please

Edit (after listening to the whole thing):
Stefan is great, he turns the conversation around and calls Gene out on his schtick and even tries to make him soft ... haha
It is a really great conversation and I enjoyed the interview a lot!
GREAT!

Remember he said Bill Aucoin died of AIDS a few months ago?

Hey Gene, who's album sold the most & is often regarded as thee best?

[KissJJM]

The guy is such a tool. Used Ace help sell his vaults and then now trashes him again. Real smart,, let me insult the two guys without whom we would have never been successful. Smart one Gene

[KissJJM]

These are the times when I wish the interviewer would bring up the fact that we all know the solo albums were planned as early as1976 and his story is bullshit

[Doose]

Gene IS right that Ace and Peter make terrible career choices.

This. His story is simply not true.

Vampires? Who’s the vampire? He sucks the life out of everyone who has worked with him.

[Kisscandinavia]

He probably doesn't remember a lot about making his solo album.
He blames drugs and alcohol for many things (Ace & Peter) but sometimes even a drug addict/alcoholic remembers A LOT more things from the past than Gene does (For example Keith Richards)

lol at ''Paul flew up to Connecticut." You don't have to fly to get from NYC to CT.

And the Grace Slick thing. First of all, Grace Slick was not the original Airplane singer. But more importantly why does he have to dredge up some awful story from something that supposedly happened 43 years ago? Just so he can smugly make his tired point about bad choices.

[So Cruel]

Tough to get through that. What a blow hard. He’s asked about his ‘78 solo album and turns it into a rant about Ace and Peter, and then had the balls to say they are still making bad choices. No wonder Peter wants nothing to do with them.

[Soylent Gene]

Gene has absolutely nothing good to say about anyone unless they were in the Beatles.

He's completely mixing up his timeline.

The story of Paul visiting Ace in CT is from 1982....not 1978

Yeah. I remember reading about that in Ace's book. Paul drove out to Wilton and they went to the mall in Stamford. That is the mall I went to growing up and if I had known Ace and Paul were debating the future of KISS there I would have lost my mind.
