The World According To Gene Simmons

09/02/2010
. (Gibson) The always-quotable KISS and reality TV star Gene Simmons explained the feeling he gets when on stage: "It's electric church, there's no experience like it. Popes, Presidents, Prime Ministers, even Kings, none of them get to feel like I do. Only maybe Olympian Gods would.'

On a more serious note, Simmons also explained that his lust for life is rooted in his mother's wartime experiences.

Simmons said: "My mother, at 14, was in the concentration camps of Nazi Germany. And saw her whole family incinerated in the ovens. Her philosophy has always been: every day above ground is a good day. Life is a gift, not a birthright. Don't waste it." - more on this story
