Just joking for goodness sake...

| | | In an interview with Simmons, he stated that he and the other members of Kiss aren't musicians, they're showmen. So there you go. 
Also, look how tiny the Punisher bass is in Gene's hands. He's 6'5" and that's a 34." That's why I use a 30.5" scale at 5'8."

|  | Registered User | | Join Date: Jan 2010 Location: Ohio | | | I by no means think Gene Simmons is the best bass player. But, who ever said you have to be the best? I've seen plenty people that because of thier talent level they just overplay and take away from what in my opinion the role of the bass player is. I'm sure through some of thier albums Paul or a hired gun has played instead of Gene just to keep the "brand" alive, but I think alot of the songs Gene has played on are very cool bass lines. Kinda reminded me of Paul Mcartney lines at times. Anyway, nice pics

Fantastic phone pics, by the way. How does one even get such great quality? My regular camera isn't even this good, man!

Anywho, I don't think a mediocre musician woul dbe able to write and compose something like these: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jJ-wWKRUYuY http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRZtur6_0z4
