Gene Simmons A Liar? - GoFuckYourself.com

you believe this bs??

The unbelievably sweet reason why Gene Simmons of KISS has never done drugs or gotten drunk

Rocker Gene Simmons says there's no big secret to his ability to play a show night after night while wearing 50 pounds of gear (that's between the armor and his guitar):

"I've never been drunk and I've never been high," said Simmons, 67, who is currently on tour with KISS.

Although a rock 'n' roll lifestyle practically preaches indulgence of booze and drugs, Simmons said he went against the grain - for his mother, who survived a Nazi concentration camp while many in her family did not.

"I'm my mother's only child," Simmons said. "I was concerned I had no right to harm my mother. Life did that enough."

Simmons said abstaining has helped him stay on top of the music industry and continue to fill stadiums after more than four decades.

"I literally never drink. Privately or publicly. I simply don't like the taste or the smell of anything with alcohol in it. I have never been drunk in my life and have never taken more than a sip of anything, and hated it every time. I will toast just to be social, but that's it."

"Life is a race and we're in constant competition," added Simmons, whose band is in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and was named the top American gold-record-earning band of all time by the Recording Industry Assn. of America.

"I'm not here to convince anyone of my lifestyle," he said. "This is what I want for me." But he said he doesn't understand why someone would choose to hamper their ability to succeed by drinking and doing drugs.

Hypothetically, Simmons said, if "you and I are lined up along with 10 other guys, do you think you'll do better than the guy who is a little tipsy? Because the alcohol is not going to help him."

He's also critical of media outlets making alcohol appear like a health food with "red wine is good for you" stories. "People say, 'There's my license to drink,'" he said.

Simmons said he never wanted to dull his senses because "if you stand still, you're losing. We have to be like sharks. Either you move through the water or you drown."

Instead of intoxicants, Simmons said his drug of choice is accomplishment.

And a KISS concert is a workout and requires a regimen off stage: "You've got to be in great shape," he said.

He and his wife, Shannon, are regular hikers through the Santa Monica Mountains. "We do from three to eight miles, four to five times a week," he said. "On flat and going down, you run, and uphill you try a fast walk. By the end of it, you're drenched."

Simmons, who is a partner in the Rock & Brews bar-restaurants, said that imbibing is a personal decision - "You have to be judge and jury of yourself" - but that his choice helps him rock and roll all night.

Gene Simmons Says He's "Never Been High or Drunk" in His Life

Rochard · 09-03-2016, 11:50 AM

I am currently reading a book by Paul Stanley of KISS. (Okay, I was, but I decided I wanted to read about Watergate more right now.)

So far in the book I was still reading about his childhood.

Did Gene Simmons never do drugs or drink? Anything is possible. I would imagine that would be difficult but... Let me put this into perspective.... When I was a kid I was into all kinds of drugs, mostly coke and heroin. I haven't done drugs since the day I joined the military. For a while I had an issue with drinking - I used to be the guy who brought the jagermeister machine to conventions just to ensure everyone got as bombed as me. About six years ago I just quit drinking - no reason, it was just time. Since then... I go to shows, I see people drinking, doing drugs..... Not too difficult for me to pass on both.

You always find a way to make it about you. No matter WTF it is about you will make it about you. I don't laugh anymore LOL yeah yeah yeah I do

Gene has always had a great work ethic. He's always been focused on succeeding and earning money. There's things a person can do in life that can get in the way of success. He's been a smart guy and avoided them. Success is his alcohol, and money is his cocaine. If we were all as focused and devoted as him in what we do to earn a living, we'd all be more successful.

This reminds me of an interview with Charlie Daniels, where he asked himself the question, "Do I want that [the life of an alcoholic/druggy], or do I want a career? Because you can't have them both." A very insightful interview with a very successful person in his own right. 16:07 to 20:10.

And I had no idea Charlie Daniels was on the side of the stage watching Jimi Hendrix perform at the Isle of Wight.

Simmons is a master in marketing.

Speigelau · 09-03-2016, 06:47 PM

Should have figured that Brassmonkey would have a hard time imagining a world where someone doesn't have to be drunk or high. Its been well known for decades that Gene doesn't drink or do drugs.

You are confused as usual, he doesn't drink any alcohol, except at a social toast. He's obviously not going to get drunk off a toast. From the article, "I have never taken more than a sip of anything, and hated it every time. I will toast just to be social, but that's it."

money biz · 09-04-2016, 03:10 AM

well why didn't he say i have never drank?? saying i have never been drunk implies he does drink just not overly

He didn't say it because he's sipped alcohol on a toast and wanted to be factually correct. Start reading the articles before you post them so you at least have a grasp of their content. Only someone who gets drunk frequently would make the assumption you did. There's been 100's of articles over the last 4 decades stating that Simmons does not partake in alcohol, why post this now?
