Gene Simmons


I know this show (at least imo) isn't 100% legit but Gene kinda came off as a jerk.

reply

Yeah he did and that whole thing seemed so staged. I did watch Gene 's show at first, but then it became so obvious that it was fake and I couldn't watch it.

I would have figured Gene had most of the Kiss items, anyway.

But what was the deal with his hair? It looked like he was wearing a cheap Halloween wig.

He who fights and runs away, lives to run away again!

reply

I couldn't understand why the Toy Hunter didn't know which Kiss item would be the most rare. I don't have much knowledge about Kiss toys but I assumed that Gene would already have the view master reels.

There was nothing about that episode that was spontaneous or genuine. . just like Simmons' old series.

I dont know if GS is really that big of a douche in real life, but it wouldnt surprise me if he was. Ive never been a kiss fan to be honest and this show actually drove me further away.

I've heard stories about him not being so nice. My Uncle knew this guy once who was working security at a venue where KISS was performing. After the show on their way back to the dressing room the security guard congratulated them on a great show. Gene just looked his way and told him to "get the f@ck out of his way."

Wrong.
1. Jordan literally had no idea who was going to call him on the phone, when he took the call. The Toy Hunter producers only said someone would call, he had no idea who it would be.
2. Jordan had no idea Gene wasn't going to pay cash, and was "pretty pissed off" at first.

Those are the two biggest twists in the episode. These facts are confirmed in an interview on Youtube with Jordan: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iG9evwhk-TM
Don't be so cynical next time.

The radio controlled Kiss van was a good find but the other stuff like the comic for example, you knew Gene had to have the comic and its original artwork.

Yeah, Gene seems grumpy. And I think he didn't even buy the van right?

reply

gene who has millions seems to be very cheep

Simmons is a prize idiot, it was such a horrid situation when he fobbed the poor guy out of money and gave him a gold disc, a REISSUE one, NOT an original, something Ebay has for $75.00
For all his wealth, fame, legacy etc, he has a terrible wig.............it looked like black shreaded wheat on his head.

reply

Yep Gene Simmons has three hundred million dollars. I thought the whole thing was a farce because he pretty much has everything a serious KISS collector would have after a lifetime of collecting and spending. He came off being a snobby prick on the show. For that matter they would be lucky to get their money back if they decided to sell the collection when the time comes.
