Previously, Wednesday indicated via social media that this new music is “heavy and dark.” A statement which he elaborates upon further. “Yes. Maybe I spoke too soon. It’s not as heavy as Condolences, it’s not as heavy as Monsters Of The Universe...

GENE SIMMONS – 2018 Time Magazine Person of the Year?

Posted in METAL NEWS | November 17, 2018 No comments

Believe it or not, Gene Simmons of KISS is leading the race to become Time magazine’s Person of the Year in 2018. But while the musician’s fans are thrilled with the news, many people hold a very different opinion.

“The list of nominees for Time magazine’s Person of the Year is always an eclectic mix of world leaders, pop culture icons, buzzworthy names, and human rights activists like Jeff Bezos. The unexpected inclusion of the 69-year-old musician, as a 2018 nominee has therefore sparked controversy and debate.”

“What makes Simmons so important is the potential and influence he now has, rather than anything he has already done,” said a panelist who preferred to remain anonymous, adding that earlier this month, the musician have already been named ‘American Of The Year’ by some maj...

The Washington Pundit goes on to say: “For those who are questioning our sources and who we are, know we can’t say much at this time other than we are in close contact with Oli’s close friends and our CEO, Michael Stewart, is a former member of the metal band Motograter, whose former vocalist now fronts Five Finger Death Punch; a band very close to Oli. We aren’t outsiders. We know things the public doesn’t know...
