Gene Slams Ace

Blabbermouth reports: Britain's Uncut magazine recently conducted an interview with KISS mainmen Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. 

Simmons: "There were problems with drink and drugs, but I was completely oblivious to it then. I've never been drunk or high in my life. If you're talking about Peter and Ace, you're talking about the kind of personalities that are so peculiar you wouldn't know if they were high or not. Even when he was straight, Ace was unable to walk in a straight line. Also, he naturally talks in a slurred way. He was no different when he was high. He had a strange sense of humor, too. He'd be coming out with stuff like, 'Hey, I f***ed an alien last night.' He is, without doubt, the laziest, most self-destructive person I've ever met."
