It is pretty ridiculous that KISS is not in the Rock n Roll Hall of Fame even today, especially given some of the acts who have been inducted. Still, while KISS remains a popular target for critical derision, Gene Simmons remains one of the better bass players to have ever performed. In basically any KISS song, he stands out with odd bass riffs and notes that accentuate the music, not merely support them.
Ever the showman, you can now purchase a gene simmons axe bass at guitar center. You may not be able to sound like Gene Simmons, but now you can look like you do.
A rambling melange of pop-culture.
