This is funny:

"This was also the period when Eddie Van Halen allegedly asked Gene Simmons if he could join Kiss, an anecdote Gene has told approximately 4,000 times and Eddie has told approximately never."

Anthrax knew the deal...

I can see your point with hind site and all but in the 70s the ****in guy spit blood up on stage.
At the time gene Simmons was the wildest shit white kids from main street USA had ever seen.

No doubt about it, Mo... Simmons was the scary one, he made scary mainstream if that makes any sense.

But the guy had no idea how to be in a rock band in spirit, he was a good businessman, decent bassist and world class coozehound... but watching the vid I posted and the second part its like "damn dude, you're part of the craziest shit to ever grace the earth and you're mad because you're guitarist is acting crazy?!... its only rock n roll you stiff ass Jew!

He's up there acting like he's wanting to be on "Meet The Press"... no, Gene... you're in a damn rock n roll band.

Nonetheless, I'm damn glad to see the reclusive MoHillbilly chiming in.

They're devil worshipers! Knights in Satan's Service!
