Gene Simmons 'Asshole'In-store Appearance
Thu 20th May, 2004 in Local News
The outspoken bass guitarist from KISS, Gene Simmons will meet fans and sign copies of his new album, Asshole on Sunday 23rd May at 3pm at Utopia Records in George Street.
Asshole is his second solo album, after the classic God Of Thunder which was released in 1978. Gene says “My taste is eclectic and all over the place. I love all kinds of artists, from Patsy Cline to the Beatles, Motown to Hoobastank. As for the record’s stylistic diversity, I’m a child of The Beatles. They created this sort of hybrid white version of American music. They could do it all – Little Richard, country, pop, soul, psychedelia. They had no rules. That had a major effect on me and that influence comes through on the record.”
Stay tuned for FasterLouder’s chat with the man himself.
