KISS – Gene Simmons Returns To Twitter!

Simmons first deactivated his Twitter account amid a growing fan backlash from negative comments he made about people suffering from depression. In an interview that Simmons gave to SongFacts.com he was asked if he still got along with original KISS members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss. He replied: “I don’t get along with anybody who’s a drug addict and has a dark cloud over their head and sees themselves as a victim.

“Drug addicts and alcoholics are always: ‘The world is a harsh place.’ My mother was in a concentration camp in Nazi Germany. I don’t want to hear fuck-all about ‘the world is a harsh place.’ She gets up every day, smells the roses and loves life. And for a putz, 20-year-old kid to say, ‘I’m depressed, I live in Seattle.’ Fuck you, then kill yourself.”

“I never understand, because I always call them on their bluff. I’m the guy who says ‘Jump!’ when there’s a guy on top of a building who says, ‘That’s it, I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to jump.’”
“Are you kidding? Why are you announcing it? Shut the fuck up, have some dignity and jump! You’ve got the crowd.”

“By the way, you walk up to the same guy on a ledge who threatens to jump and put a gun to his head, ‘I’m going to blow your fuckin’ head off!’ He’ll go, ‘Please don’t!’ It’s true. He’s not that insane.”.

Nikki Sixx of MOTLEY CRUE fired off a rant in disagreement with the old fire breather and that forced him to issue an apology to get everyone off his back. Then on the same day he quit Twitter and has not been back until now.

To add more fire to the controversy, Simmons recently said in another interview that “Rock is dead”, which as well pissed off a lot of other people, namely the rock musicians still performing and putting out records who vehemently disagree, including Dee Snider and Dave Grohl. What crap the Demon will spew next is anyone’s guess. Let’s hope he stops and thinks more before he gets in trouble again.
