Gene Simmons Claims KISS Is The Best Known Band On Earth

(Gibson) Gene Simmons claims that the reach of KISS is so large that almost everyone on the planet knows who they are.

"By many estimates, we are the four most recognized faces on earth," he told Scotland's Daily Record. "Do you know what the king of Sweden looks like? No. That's funny, because everyone in Sweden knows what KISS look like."

Because of the massive appeal of KISS, he says that including the band's music in the new installment of the Guitar Hero video game series (for which Simmons also did voice work) isn't much of a boon to them. "It's good for other bands," he said. "These kids know KISS already. They know who we are, they know the music."
