Gene Simmons is one of the finest bass players in history.

[dmn23]

Actually, no. That's not true at all.

 

[Help!I'maRock!]

The only bassist Gene has anything on is Sid Vicious, who wasn't even plugged in.

 

[gtrjunior]

The mother of all parody threads....

 

[frunobulax]

alternative fact

 

[tiger roach]

At least he's rich, and in his prime was no doubt getting more ***** than a toilet seat.

 

[DdBob]

click bait

 

[Devil is Dill]

He's doing things you can't even begin to understand.

 

[Tiltsta]

I would be OK with his lame chops if he wasn't such a colossal douchebag crammed full of arrogance.

 

[Denverdave]

Bass player - sub par

Businessman - par excellence

He made a fortune off a few decent songs, average at best musicianship, and brilliant marketing.

 

[dmn23]

He couldn't swing if he was nailed to a pendulum.

 

[Guitar Heel]

ooof

 

[jelloman]

Let's test that theory...I'll grab a hammer and nails...

Why does he need a pick to play something that simple? And why is such a shit bass player cranked so loud? Is he honestly proud of that?

Also....worst tone ever. Well maybe Billy Sheehan's tone is worse but it's close!

 

[wagdog]

Gene is indeed a shitty bass player. That video of Carol Kaye schoolin' his no rhythm ass is funny as hell.

I don't think he cares. He's done well for himself.

 

[jp_nyc]

Why were they applauding this shit? Was the entire arena that drunk?

 

[Rick 381]

Maybe they should have rehearsed.

 

[Honkridge]

He rock n rolled ALL night and partied EVERY day.

 

[Scott Powell]

KISS was all about the songs,and putting on a great show,and as a result his Bass lines were perfect for what they were doing. I have always dug his bass line on Detroit Rock City

Because the average person wouldn't know good music if it jumped up and slapped them in the face.
