HOLLYWOOD (Reuters) - "In time of war, if you go through a bad neighborhood, I don't want a little French poodle, I want a rottweiler on my hands."
LOL! This is perfect!
that would've made a great ad!
Gene Simmons served in the Israeli Army.
;-)
The man has seen the horrors of islamofascism, so this comes as no surprise.
This is from IMDB.com:
When Simmons' came to America, his name was changed from Chaim Witz to Gene Klein. He later decided to use "Gene Simmons" for professional purposes.
He is the son of Hungarian Jews. His mother is a Holocaust survivor. In his book "Sex Money KISS", Simmons wrote that his grandmother willingly went into a gas chamber with his great-grandmother because she didn't want her mother to have to die alone. Simmons' mother is the only member of her entire family to survive the Holocaust. She managed to survive partly due to her skills as a hairdresser (a wife of one of the NAZI German officer liked how she did hair and had her kept around to be her hairstylist).
My other favorite quote: "You may not like rich people, but when was the last time a poor person GAVE YOU A JOB?" --Gene Simmons

I have to list Ted Nugent, David Lee Roth and Gene Simmons as three rockers who are guaranteed to make me laugh.
Doesn't KISS stand for Kings in Satan's Service?
The rumor was "Knights" but here is a reply:

I never cared for their music too much.... but I must say, I have a new found respect for these guys - KISS ;)
No it was just an urban legend. But it sure helped them sell some records. There was another variation of Knights in Satan's Service. Gene originally suggested using the "F word" for the name of the band
French poodle remark reminiscent of Doctor Raoul's tagline and Staytrue's sign based on it.
The Rottweiller part of Simmons statement harks back to what I told the guy looking for the maker of the "Kerry is a French poodle" sign at the FReep of the Saddam-Aide concert.
I asked the guy why he was looking for the French poodle sign-maker. He said, "I'm from French TV." I said, "Well, if it makes you feel better, the Kerry French poodle sign-maker thinks that Bush is a German shephard."
I always heard it was "Knights in Satan's Service." What I find ironic is Simmons and his family's holocaust past and the fact that KISS uses the SS-nazi sign in their logo. When they played in Germany in the 1970's, they were forbidden from using it and had to change the S's in the logo.
Thanks so much for your quick response. I came from a strict Christian family and didn't understand all the reason's why I was to steer clear of such things like KISS.
I saw them in concert this summer and they couldn't be more adament in their support for the war on terrorism and love of the USA. I don't think they even mentioned President Bush by name but the entire venue was equally vocal in backing Paul Stanley and Simmons.
