1. If Gene is such an avowed and preachy teetotaller, why did he agree to sing the liquor-championing lyrics to "Cold Gin" (penned, I believe, by big drinkin' Ace)?

2. Why on iTunes are the tracks "Hard Luck Woman" and "Do You Love Me?" accredited soley to Peter Criss and Paul Stanley respectively, yet for their four "solo albums" the tracks are accredited to Kiss?

Speaking of dumb things done for money, is Tongue still publishing?

i don't believe so, but Gene's new album, tastefully titled Asshole is about to be released.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Thursday, 13 May 2004 23:05 (twenty-two years ago)

I'm wrong, apparently...

Sheesh. "Robert Duvall: Tangos with tongue."

Worst. Cutlines. Ever.

Actually, that's probably an old issue.w

Dear Subscriber,

Gene's in the bathroom right now so your next issue
might be a few days late.

Oh, to be a fly on the wall during edit meetings at Tongue....

Gene: OK, what do we have for next issue?

Editor: Well, we have this actress....

Gene: What kind of knockers does she have?

Editor: *sighing* Humungous, sir. Like you said. We confirmed with the publicist.

Gene: Is she willing to go bigger? Tell her that if she gets DDs she'll get the cover.

Editor: Sir, ethically...

Gene: Ethics, smethics. Fuck this, I'm gonna go tour with Aerosmith.

― m.e.a. (m.e.a.), Thursday, 13 May 2004 23:23 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah, `cos gracing the cover of Tongue is a real career milestone. Oops, that shoulda been was. Haha.

Well, now he's keeping busy scouting new talent for Simmons Records:

If you know of local talent in your area and want me to hear it, send me stuff to:

SIMMONS RECORDS
PO BOX 15097
BEVERLY HILLS, CA. 90210

POP - I'm looking for talent in their teens or early twenties. You don't have to write songs. But, you better have the talent. It can be almost anything.

ROCK - If you're the coolest local band in your area, but you think you've got SOMETHING DIFFERENT, send me your stuff. You should be able to write songs.

RAP - Sure. But, don't send me the usual "MC Criminal" routine. Give me something different.

COUNTRY? - Probably not straight country. But, if you're Shania in her teens, send me your stuff

I know there is talent out there that can't be put into a genre -- I'm looking for you. If you're the next MOBY or PRINCE...send me your stuff.

"If you're Shania in her teens..." Whadda prick.

ahhh this thread has already brought me many laughs. Bless you all.

i think the real victim here is snoop dogg

― astroblaster (astroblaster), Thursday, 13 May 2004 23:48 (twenty-two years ago)

I like MC Criminal!

I don't get what Gene Simmon's going for. I think his ideals are founded on "I'm sexist, but I'm open about it and admit it so it's okay"? Is that right?

― David Allen (David Allen), Friday, 14 May 2004 00:18 (twenty-two years ago)

I think he's believes his own bullshit, though, David.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 14 May 2004 00:20 (twenty-two years ago)

'I don't get what Gene Simmon's going for'

What's his new album called again?

― Patrick Kinghorn, Friday, 14 May 2004 00:22 (twenty-two years ago)

ha ha

― David Allen (David Allen), Friday, 14 May 2004 00:26 (twenty-two years ago)

The usual crap cover-wise. But it does make me think that Asteriskhole would be a pretty good album title.

heh I like the Gene lookalike on the far left

― Patrick Kinghorn, Friday, 14 May 2004 00:33 (twenty-two years ago)

His mother must be so proud.

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 14 May 2004 00:34 (twenty-two years ago)

The Japanese edition [of Asshole will include the bonus tracks ‘Everybody Knows’ and ‘You’re My Reason For Living’.

Man, if "Everybody Knows" is the Leonard Cohen song then I'm betting it beats out Billy Idol's "Heroin" for worst cover evah.

― m.e.a. (m.e.a.), Friday, 14 May 2004 00:43 (twenty-two years ago)

Holy shit....Gene covers Leonard Cohen???

― Alex in NYC (vassifer), Friday, 14 May 2004 00:46 (twenty-two years ago)

I said if. Pistols down, everyone.

― m.e.a. (m.e.a.), Friday, 14 May 2004 01:00 (twenty-two years ago)

Not a cover. But I bet "Everybody Knows" would still make a good hard rock song.

From rollingstone.com:

During off-nights on the upcoming Kiss tour, Simmons, who claims to be "the world's biggest asshole," will take over a club, where only true assholes will be admitted. "No fakers allowed," says the fifty-four-year-old rocker. "And, of course, once you come in, you'll be given a certificate which will certify that you're a real asshole."

B-b-b-but fakers are assholes!
