OK here HOW IT IS!! This is NOT Gene, although a spittiing image..Any true KISS fan knows that Genes Picking style on does not include an open hand. Gene's picking style is a close fist type style. And I highly doubt that Gene Simmons Jams out to an Ibanez when he has his own signature series.BTW the only 2 kiss musicians with the same picking style as this video were Vinnie Vincent and Mark St John
It's Gene, pure and simple. He's having a little fun with his fans. The mouth, the scowl lines...it's Gene Simmons. Besides, if this guy has a face that close to Gene's why didn't he wear make-up in this vid? That would've been far more attention getting.
simmons was the weak link! in the 70's KISS! wrote a few good songs about it! claims he started the merchandising when it was aucoin who did! too bad ACE! is not still around to save his crappy songs with ACES solo!
Spooky. The resemblance is amazing. Gene has often stated that KISS can and will live on. You could be one of the keys to that happening for the next generation.
I finally heard the song on good speakers while paying attention and noticed how the bass actually goes. I went looking for vids of people playing to see how many have it right, most of us learn to play with the guitar riff instead of the proper line. Leave it to a look-alike to get it right.
YOU GOT T GONG ON GUY!!! saw the video in the related videos to another video and i was like "Oh my God! thats really gene simmons." You really do look like him.
why don't you play nv43345 by billy sheehan, more interesting bass line, i love kiss though, i am going to watch kiss meets the phantom of the park, love how chessey that is
This guy is too good at bass to be gene..

I understand completely , this is the gene I love the most , alone at home with his real wife "music" , like the rest of us musicians.
I'm currently married to an ibanez RT42 and some 8 gage blue steel
when we got married we decided to have a digitech RP350
we would like to come over and see you on hannuka gene , I'll bring my menora and some chocolate.
there's a television show called american idol gene , why are you not on it ?
put me on it gene , I'll play for you.
