KISS 1978 Gene Simmons Solo Album "In-Store" Exclusive World-Premiere

[THEMASTEROFYOU2000]

genes album, whcih went platnum, with exactly 1mil sales, 987k of those purchsed by gene to ensure the platnum record, wasn;t all that bad,,,for what it was.but definately nothing compared to Ace's record, a riff which remains hauting these men. gene cruel to them all, sepecially to Ace, but Ace wearing his nazi uniform and freaking gene out was porbably uncalled for, still when one messes with someone you'd better expect such back.

[hotprofdude]

That groupie-slut girl at 2:02 looks like a lot like Katie Segal--the chick who played Peg Bundy. Gene claims to have slept with her Katie,, BTW. She sang back up on his solo album. Maybe she's like # 3,345 or something. Ha!

[liltookie17]

@hotprofdude theres nothinat 2:02 ?

[TheRevengeOfMoth]

By the way, why are kids handing Gene money? Oh, I forgot. This is Gene $immon$, the asshole who can't do anything for the fans (who put him where he is) without vaccuming the bills from their wallet. It's quite remarkable how greedy this asshole got to be.

[WizardGlik]

Is that Cherilyn LaPiere at the end with manager Mike Douglas?

[MrHfisher]

I went to Pauls in-store in Houston Tx 1978. Pretty wild scene from what i remember. 6 years old at the time. My parents bought me one of the solo albums and Rock n Roll Over the same day.

[GroffinTiffin]

love how he goes from playing with a little girl to tongue fucking a hot ass big girl!

[4wheelcannon]

at 0:38 bottom left the guy scratches his balls!!!

[ErictheACKACKTOR]

HYPOCRIT

[TheRevengeOfMoth]

@ErictheACKACKTOR Remember the good old days when Gene would sign an autograph for a fan without giving him a twenty minute lecture about how the fans are "vultures"? It must have been frustrating for the die-hard KISS fans to see Gene surrounded by children, being that he's suppose to be this bad-ass rocker! This is when KISS first began to appear as a joke - movies, merchandising and kiddie for fans just ain't rock and roll!

[roman14032]

the funny thing about gene is that he promotes the idea that hes a great buisiness man and downplays his musical talent;but the truth is hes a great musician and a crap buisnessman

[cranie4]

@roman14032 I think you have that backwards. Gene can sell a turd with the Kiss logo on it (actually his solo album was that). Gene himself has admitted you can be a crap musician it's all in how you sell it.

[roman14032]

rush can absoulutly mop the floor with any band on earth

simmons would be the frist one to tell you that

only band that was ever better was the beatles

[SonicThunderBYG]

@roman14032 Hell to the yes. Rush is the greatest. "For I have dined on honey do, and drunk the milk of paradise"!

[MrToothycritter]

This is awesome!

[rickyodom]

you could have picked a better song than that.

[matias87ar]

at 00:37, they are paying the autographs?? and at 00:47: slut.

[darthinfurnus]

@matias87ar

She was pretty hot. Gene probably nailed her later on!

[kataboy]

Gene's 78 solo LP was such crap. Paul's and Aces rocked. Peters is so bad I cant even think of a word to describe it.

[Smeghead65]

@kataboy Hey I'm glad I was here to help you. The word you were looking for is SHIT. You could even smell it when you played it. You know it was SHIT 'cause if you played Gene's album right after Peter's you might mistake Gene's for good. I will give one thing to both of them. They are consistent. They have both put out stuff since the solo's that is unlike KISS and almost all of it sucks.

[Eddie62070]

@kataboy yeah I agree....Gene is capable of better than he did on his solo album

[HumblePie76]

This is SO COOL! I've never seen this footage before!

[spicygaga]

loving the cher n gene part lol

[grantorino2009]

@graveforest666 Then go watch King Diamond videos...

[musicman257]

this was the best costume gene wore

[rwoods2k]

nice soundtrack of this clip. man of a 1,000 faces for the solo album. I had Gene's solo album as a kid, and man of 1,000 faces is the only song I can remember that was on that album....maybe a song called tunnel of love, but thats it

[Soudermad]

KISS had a lot of infant fans..xD

[jdenicol]

Looked like Chaim was having a lot of fun here... "I'd like you to meet my friend, Alfalfa:, Do you have any french fried lizards?

[GrandFunker]

Gene's album gets such a bad rap...it had issues, no doubt, but it was still a great record. I'd take it over just about anything released in the last few years.

[flyman]

i never knew Cher worked a burger joint.........

[tdanielsmnr]

They are not paying for his autograph. They are asking him to sign the money.

[MrSinister99]

Come on folks, use your brain...he wasn't charging for an autograph, people were giving him dollar bills to SIGN...you fools!

[grantorino2009]

@MrSinister99 Isn't it amazing how stupid American youth has become? Thinking that he's charging for autographs? I'm astonished at the ignorance.

[talktopete]

Then don't buy any, idiot. Everyone sells autographs now. If you happen to meet him in public, he won't charge you. He signed a ton of stuff for myself and other fans at a club a few years ago...and he was out in public on his own personal time. Everyone from sports stars to astronauts charge for premium signed merchandise including The Eagles, members of Pink Floyd and even King Diamond. So stop crying like a little bitch.

[MetalHeart8787]

this is cool Footage i haven't seen this before.

They should have put this on the Kissology DVD'S!

78-91 I have that one & theres alot of cool Footage missing.

[GrandFunker]

@MetalHeart8787 this is a tease to sell the cool footage!

[frostedhead]

Gene is charging a dollar for a signature? That stinky, filthy, hook nose jew!

[Legendcjr37]

@frostedhead Did Nikki Sixx tell you to say that? :-)

[jaybrone78]

man i wish i had his job lol

[YohaneRockett]

hehe

look how dirty he kiss this chick :P

[KissFanForever100000]

I liked Gene's costume, and the cape. He only wears it, in photo shoots, not in concerts!

[MrAndreSChr]

@KissFanForever100000 Bullshit..! he wore it in concerts in this area..

[angel6craw]

i wish i was that chick. gene is very hot

[gossinger]

Did you notice people had to pay for their autographs.....oh the Gene!!!!

[Jethrofinger]

1:49--- I shall call this place KISS BURGER some day!

[marjar1985]

Wow - frickin' cool!

[slickness85]

0:38 seconds, did the kid piss himself? AHHAAA.

[AarHan3]

[mrkiss36]

[TOPTACO]

Nice..see gene snatching money from little kids in 1978,lol

[icomearoundnow]

just too freakin' cool!

[kissunmasked1980]

The coolest Bass Player of all times - in the best group on Planet Earth !

[MetalheadJay78]

@kissunmasked1980, best group on Earth? Look, I love "Kiss" just as much as the next guy but the fact of the matter is that there were many great bands that were much better musically.You can't say that Kiss are the best group when bands such as Queen,Led Zeppelin, Rush, and Black Sabbath existed. That would be utter nonsense! I will say that they did/do put on one of the best shows ever though. I saw them in Raleigh, NC on the Farewell Tour and they were awesome.The original Kiss not 50% Kiss.

[Alpha7xxx]

@MetalheadJay78 Let's not add Rush to that list. Yuck.

[amigotole]

@MetalheadJay78 Rush... no... Rush sucks.

[kissunmasked1980]

So Great ! I love Gene !

[debgibsonfan]

Amazing.....(btw see Gene sign Paul's album lol)

[debgibsonfan]

Amazing....+ Gene signs Paul's album!
