KISS News: Hanging With Condoleeza Rice, Still Extremely Rich

5/30/08, 3:23 pm EST

With a legion of fans eager to buy coffins, comics and whatever else they’re peddling, it’s not surprise that Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley of KISS have a lot of money. While the band wouldn’t elaborate how big their fortune actually is — Gene Simmons’ worth is estimated near $100 million — the band will admit “We have more money than some small countries.” “It’s a privilege to do what we do, and let’s say we make a living,” Simmons said.

Perhaps she was trying to enlist the KISS Army’s support John McCain in the event that she’s chosen as the Republican Vice Presidential candidate, but Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice met the band prior to their performance in Stockholm, Sweden. The band provided Rice and her staff with autographed memorabilia and backstage passes. “It was really fun to meet KISS and Gene Simmons,” Rice told reporters while avoiding more important questions like whether she likes Destroyer or Love Gun more.

Please tell me that KISS are NOT republicans. After thirty years of being a fan, that would really suck!
I would think they were smarter than that.

Republicans RULE you stupid ass fools!!!-all this trouble this country is in, had DEMOCRATS written all over it. Hey Moron- the DEMS pushed through all these easy Mortgages in 2000-2004, no credit check, no documents, no job, no nothing asshole, but everyone could buy a house, now these morons including YOU cannot pay your mortgage, and the “ripple affect”, has destroyed the whole economy, so I hope(as implied) KISS are Republicans who get it!
You can also ell your friend Buce Springsteen to shove it up his ass too, another Democrat, -what does he care, with his money, he’s not hurtin one
God Bless Condoleeza Rice, she did everything she could bit, what’s Hillary gonna do brother!?

Freakin Gene Simmons is worried about getting “PAID” for his next album, then I read he is worth over 100 Million!
What a geedy Mother Fucker! -fuck him!

Why shouldn’t Gene be worried about making money off a new album? He makes the music, he should get paid for it. He may be rich but remember, he donates a lot to charity too. The more he makes, the more he helps others.

PEACE BROTHER JEROME WATKINS 4 | 12/14/2008, 9:03 pm EST

Hey Asshole, what “charity”, has Gene Simmons EVER contributed to!???…. maybe he should make a donation to a loser like YOU!

KISS are Die-Hard Conservatives… Anyone who has something to lose IS or SHOULD BE… We’re screwed now! Wait till Obama makes this place the USSA !

Its a shame that threre are people who really believe that because obama is pres..that hes going to make the usa into the ussa.This shows how stupid peole still really are.And as far as gene simmons goes,it does not matter how much money he has,because he earned it.He should get paid for a new album.Every body thinks they should get things for free.

Is there any truth to the rumour that Kiss was going to bring unknown drummer Petr Sassovic to drum in place of Petr Criss?
