- International rock legend and co-founder of KISS, Gene Simmons chats with Noah exclusively about his partnership with Gibson. Gene discusses the importance of getting vaccinated from COVID-19 and how he even contracted the virus.
International rock legend Gene Simmons is a serial entrepreneur, philanthropist, and media mogul. Simmons has achieved success that reaches far beyond his music career, extending into television shows, films, publishing, merchandising, worldwide restaurants, consumer products, and more. Simmons’ was inspired to become a rock star when he first saw a televised performance by the Beatles. Simmons formed several bands and then met fellow KISS co-founder Paul Stanley in 1970 and they formed the group Wicked Lester. In the winter of 1972, with a desire to create the “ultimate” rock band, not just “another” rock band, Simmons and Stanley formed KISS with original band members Peter Criss and Paul "Ace" Frehley. Inspired by his love of comic books and horror films, Simmons conceived the concept of his face paint. The addition of elaborate costumes, frenetic stage performances and ostentatious concert effects, catapulted KISS to international stardom and a coveted position as one of the most recognized rock and roll bands in the world. Since their inception, KISS has developed millions of fans around the world, also known as the KISS Army. With over 100 million CDs and DVDs sold worldwide, KISS continues to sell out stadiums and arenas around the world, breaking box-office records set by Elvis and the Beatles. KISS was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2014 and in 1999 received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Merchandising giant Simmons’ keen business acumen has expanded the KISS brand beyond the stage. With more than 5,000 licensed/merchandised items, KISS has generated more money from merchandising and trademark deals than any other band in music history. Recently, Gene launched Gene Simmons MoneyBag soda--a new line of sodas made with all natural flavors, colors, and pure cane sugar, and packaged in painted bottles.

Simmons is renowned and sought after worldwide as a notable and opinionated media commentator on a diverse range of topics from politics to business. www.genesimmons.com

Did you know Guy Fieri's son has a new pasta dish that might just interest you! Check out our NEW video: th-cam.com/video/4bI_FIt5wNw/w-d-xo.html Thanks for watching our interview with Gene Simmons! We love you all!
how about an updated Gene Simmons Grabber/Ripper??? i bet they'd sell like hot cakes!
They're coming out with both. You can find them on their site but you gotta dig or you can go to Trogly's channel and he just did a video about them recently.
It would be wonderful. I'd also like to see that bass he made in the '70s with those horns and that huge pickup.
I could have done without the COVID bullshit.
I guess he's a medical expert too. smh
He should have opted for Grabber bass as first signature series
I think
It still should have been the Gibson Grabber with the sliding pickup. (that was what he was known for) ...make a Grabber, do some upgrades, lighter weight etc.....Makes NO sense to do a Nikki Sixx remake.
@Musical Box Regardless, ones a neck through, one is not and they are both the same T-Bird shape (which is what i was getting at)...Gene was noted for being one of the few guys rockin a Grabber and making it iconic.
I prefer the look of the deep red NS Signature neck through anyway - but still, a remake of a Grabber would have me slappin down a visa card. Cheers
@Musical Box Yep - now THAT would be awesome - maybe do a 500 unit run worldwide - make it valuable and worthwhile to spend cash on. Cool man. Cheers
@Musical Box There were a couple guys using them - even fairly recently...Grabber/Ripper Green Day bassist(not sure if he still does) and Nirvana bassist was using a Ripper I think - the shape is mostly made popular from Gene - I played a '75 (IIRC) it was heavy and huge body and thick neck - was kind of a beast...but if they modernized it and made it 8lbs, EMG pickups and the Hipshot bridge - it would be killer.
Gene is always working 💪 his Twitter page is good also 🎸🎶🎵🎶
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
At one time Haim Witz Gene Klein was alone in his Room with his Bass practice practice practice
Love him or hate him, agree with him or not... This guy's an OG who deserves the respect. He's a fan of the music "and himself" but he's by far one of the best business men on earth and he's always going. Dudes in his 70s and rocks Harder than ever 🤑🤑
That’s true.
Yeah if you believe the hype. If you look into it you’ll see that’s all it is. Even Paul Stanley said in his book that’s Gene’s biggest business achievement is making everyone think he was good at business.
🇨🇵 Un groupe de legende j ai passé mon enfance je suis née 1976 j ecouter kiss album platinium mon frere aînée l avais paul stanley gene simmons, Ace frehley et peter criss 👍😎
Absolutely love those guys!!! 👑🏆🎸
They are pretty awesome!
god bless you gene stay safe 🙏
Nice bass
Life is a contest … well said 👍
what we need is a limited edition of gene's Spector bass!!!!
That would be a true blessing
👍🇨🇵 love you kiss 🇺🇸
❤️🙌🏼
It's ashame it's not 24 frets. Man I need my 24
So a double neck firebird?
Fuckin' SWEET! I'll take 2.
@@pb12661 I was thinking 2 bass, but I'll take a couple shots, too. To KISS! Cheers!!
@@brianmcmanus4690 👌
The first bass in the world that looks like a giant syringe. He requested they be built by workers wearing hazmat suits and every one comes in a giant mask you can use as a gig bag.
So many men over 70 use the “see what I did there” comment lol
Gene is the best!!! 🔥🙌🏼🖤
now I know this is business and all about name and sales..but isnt it a bit weird to start new signature models when youre retiring? If youre not touring and fans are not seeing you play this particular instrument..why is it a signature model? people associate the guitars they see him play like his axe base and the punisher bass..
@@Drahculia lol ok not sure what alimony has to do with a signature guitar..my point isn't about planning for divorce( Shannon has been with Gene for 39 years..lol)..Gene is already worth over 200million..and as you're saying not touring, they won't be able to sell as much (exactly my point, why would ppl buy a 4000$ base that they don't see Gene use? ) People associate his age shaped base, or Destroyer base to him, not a Gibson thunderbird..many ppl buy them for the novelty of KISS items..but not many can afford 4000$...Tommy Thayer does his signatures with Epiphone in the 800$ range..
@@Drahculia lol..if Shannon hasn't left him by now I don't think she will..I just find weird..I saw a soundtrack video the other day, Gene in a robe, still using his own Destroyer bass, not the gibson..with gibson giving him a guitar you'd think they want him using them exclusively, that's how most signature deals work, especially the high end guitars..Dave Mustaine of Megadeth is with gibson now and been using his signature Vs full time already
Great video until he started to rant about the coof. He must own stock in pfizer.
he probably does, he loves investing!!!!
He was never a Thunderbird player. Should’ve done a Ripper and Grabber
Exactly
wow. buy the bass and get vaccinated!! pass on both!
Pureblood forever! They way we were meant to be.
GOD OF THUNDER ☇
BOOOOOOOMMMOOM
BOOOOOOMOOMOOM
Weed Me
There was a time I'd consider buying a Gibson. Not these days though.
I don’t even think he uses the bass live
2700 euros too much expensive with Cort the price was correct
Gene... please contact Ted Nugent
Why?
The covid Vaccines haha, ok gene keep watching cnn.
All I care about is the Lobue bass.
this guy is all about money...he will talk about anything if you pay him...he never played a Gibson onstage, always used custom basses...90% of the time actually...used some Gibsons in photo sessions...big huckster...
Wrong! He used Gibson Ripper in 1974. In some of their first shows there’s footage on TH-cam.
Wow, I’m glad a bold and often controversial guy like Gene is being sensible about COVID and getting vaccinated and calling out conspiracy theorists.
"conspiracy theorists"?
You're an unquestioning pawn who believes the most powerful people in the world are actually out to protect and inform you and keep you healthy?
Programming. 🤖
@@montag4516 LOL yes, I'm a pawn and do everything I'm told to do by the government. Get fucked.
Ok, bootlicker
@@pb12661 They do work at preventing death. You don't know anything about vaccines do you?
@@Drahculia please tell me you don't really believe that Hydra Vulgaris is in the vaccine and infecting people.
"So Gene, what are some specs that make this bass unique from any other Thunderbird?"
"Um, it's better."
$2799 wow !!!
Thank you so much for your love and continues support for me and my career I appreciate it, god bless you and stay safe❤
@@genesimmons9782 see you the Next month in Europe, i go from Mexico. CHISS magazines... remember that .
Mr Predictable
Shove it grandpa
Yeah right. $2800 - No thanks !!
I bet Gene gets $2799 of each sale………..
There a cheaper epiphone versions too.
ガラの悪い、おばはんみたいに成っとる（笑）冗談よ～good ~
1% of the Illuminati that's going to be a puppet from the New Word Order...great bass player🤣🤣
Safe guy until it came to women!😆😂
No thanks. I’d rather stick with my Fender Precision Bass.
I would not buy anything from that whole.
Gene I see has a balding spot above his forehead there.
Yeah amazing! It always looked like a wig to me. Just proven wrong.
Just a money grab he hasn't played a thunderbird in decades
The Demon is a dork!
He is really old man but always covering his face with makeup
all that money and that's the best wig he could afford?
A Gene Simmons guitar? I can't wait NOT to buy it. Just sayin
Thank you so much for your love and continues support for me and my career I appreciate it, god bless you and stay safe❤
@@genesimmons9782 surely Mr Simmons has occult knowledge about the plandemic. Has he studied the Kabbalah? Natural Law? Why does he worship money? Sounds like SATANISM to me.
Tenets of Satanism
Egotism; selfishness
Moral relativity
Social Darwinism
Eugenics; Dysgenics.
That's Gene Simmons alright.
Kiss died musically in the 70s.
Money is the root of all evil, and humanity is awakening! Don't be scared......not yet😁
@@datner76 I'm sorry but i do not worship money.
i think you should buy two.
He just needs to learn how to play it.
That's EXACTLY what I was thinking.
An over-priced based from an over-rated bass player. Enjoy!
Ok Gene, I thought "Rock was dead" so explain why I should keep buying your crap?
lol a boomer juggalo gets an endorsement deal for something he's never used, who is Gibson trying to sell to with this?
Probably not someone using terms like "boomer " and "juggalo". Those types don't count
Another money grab for Gene... He doesn't even play a Thunderbird.
one of the sloppiest bass players in rock, getting a signature bass huh?
who cares??? washed up never was been...g'bye mate
Never was lol. Sounds more like you bruno.
I guarantee it plays terrible, especially being endorsed by the worst bassist in the music industry. Probably $3-$4 k cus of his name !!! What a joke 😅😅😅😅
