Frasi Gene Simmons

„Le rock band sono parecchio simili alle squadre di football: se uno si droga e combina dei casini, prendi qualcun altro che è orgoglioso di indossare l’uniforme e di far parte del gruppo.“

— Gene Simmons

„The best philanthropy is anonymous charity.“

— Gene Simmons
Context: The best philanthropy is anonymous charity. When you’re doing it for the right reasons, and not to tell everyone how nice you are. That’s self-aggrandizement. That’s also OK: if you want credit, that’s OK. But the higher giving is anonymous giving.

„We can't be The Beatles. I can't shine their shoes. I can't sing as well as Paul or John. I can't write those kind of songs. But they would die in my armour and my eight-inch platform heels, and Paul can't spit fire, so there you have it.“

— Gene Simmons

„"You can't buy love with money." Only a poor person says that.“

— Gene Simmons

„Anybody who picks up a guitar and tells you that there's some inner message that they're trying to convey... it's nonsense. They're not being honest. The reason they're doing this is they wanna get lots of chicks and they don't want to work for a living.“

— Gene Simmons

„Prostitute yourself. As far as I'm concerned, that's even braver than waiting for the public to catch on.“

— Gene Simmons

„The notion is that if you want to welcome me with open arms, I'm afraid you're also going to have to welcome me with open legs.“

„My mother was 14 when she was in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. My mother’s alive and well, but only because of America. Without America’s military, the world would be in deep… fill-in-the-blank. I’m forever grateful for that.“

— Gene Simmons

„Being a Jew, you realize your strongest weapon is your mind.“

— Gene Simmons
"Bang Your Head" book

„I think Prince was heads, hands and feet about all the rest of them, I thought he left (Michael) Jackson in the dust. Prince was way beyond that. But how pathetic that he killed himself. Don't kid yourself, that's what he did. Slowly, I'll grant you … but that's what drugs and alcohol is: a slow death.“
