I’ve worked with Gene and KISS. Gene is so overblown as to the big business man. It’s all an act. Gene will throw 100 things into the air, maybe one of them works.

$immons Records was a flop (in the 80′s) He didn’t have one act even go gold on his music imprint. He reactivated it back in 2006. His first artist, Bag, on the new label sold a minuscule 3,500 units.

Look at the pathetic impact Simmons/Abrams have had on marketing the Indy Racing League. It’s been a joke.

If you go back to KISS in the mid to late 80′s, they were basically broke. For a manager they were using Paul Stanleys shrink. He took off with some of their money.

Really until the KISS reunion happened back in 1996, that’s when Gene made most of his money and since then off KISS touring and licensing their merchandise and putting the KISS logo on anything and everything.

On the day before Megyn interviewed Gene, one of his latest ventures filed for bankruptcy protection:

There is a huge laundry list of Gene’s failed business ideas. He should stick to KISS ventures because other than that (his movies and other things) have been failures.

Also if Megyn saw his “sex tape” that hit the net last year, she would see that the only thing long on Gene is his tongue. The rest is rather lacking for the ladies out there.
