Gene Simmons

I was a regular, normal guy with regular appetites and nothing out of the ordinary, and never veered towards self-destructive behavior, never.

the band elevated itself to another level because sometimes of course an idea will come from left field and they go why don't you yeah you know you're right we should be doing that so no matter who you are

Especially in light of the fact that times change, tastes change, and different generations come into it. Cool is a moving target. So I give ourselves kudos... to be able to be flexible and move around and do that stuff as hair metal bands came in, thrash came in, new romance came, like all through all the different things. So we started co-branding.

Like Hello Kitty is one of the largest brands on the planet for young girls, for little girls. So Kiss Hello Kitty had about 1,500 co-licenses, everything from training bras to tissue paper to potato chips, you name it. And then we co-branded with Family Guy and Archie. We had Kiss Archie Comics and Astro Boy from Japan.

Hello Kitty would probably be the biggest. Because there were endless... And then they changed CEOs. Actually, the CEO flew in to LA. We had dinner. And he and I are sitting next to each other. We're talking about the future. OK, we're going to ramp up this. It's clearly working and everything. And he said, as soon as I get back to Japan on Monday, it was the weekend coming up.

I'm going to draw papers and we're going to do some big, big, big stuff. And then he passed away. And the new CEO just didn't see it. Oh, that's a bummer.

All of it. Music less because entire generations of fans don't pay for music. They download and voucher. Both of our kids, Nick and Sophie, are massive on Spotify and Schmodify and all the other childlike things. Words. Yahoo! Google. And Sophie, for instance, is managers, co-writes. She's co-writing a song right now with the writer who wrote, Do you believe in love? You know, for Cher.

What a small world. Yeah, it's just...

It's a small world after all. As a matter of fact, I recorded When You Wish Upon a Star for my solo record because of how Emotionally, Jiminy Cricket affected my life. I thought when that little insect in the movie goes, Gene, when you wish upon. I thought he was singing to me. I was 12. Wow. I went out there like in a religious epiphany.
