Gene Simmons Insulted By Fan For Bass Playing

The fan had incorrectly credited Paul Stanley with bass playing on the track “I Was Made for Lovin’ You,” attributing it to Gene’s work. Simmons replied directly to correct the record.

“Here’s another moron who has never met us, never been in the studio and believes he knows things. Idiot. I happened to have played bass on the track. And you, have one follower. Mic dropped,” Simmons said.

The confusion about “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” has continued for decades. Various misconceptions have circulated among fans and online communities. However, credible sources have confirmed the actual lineup on this iconic 1979 recording.

Simmons knows what it’s like to live like a rock star. In the latest episode of the Men’s Health video series Gym & Fridge, the legend opened up about his favorite foods.

On what’s in his fridge:

Simmons: “Nothing that you see in here — the salads — describes my taste buds. The wifey puts all that stuff in, ’cause my druthers: hot fudge sundae, a good backrub, and shut the f* up. I don’t really care if it’s pasta or shmasta, or foie gras and anything with a French name…I really don’t care. I love cake. Cookies, chocolates, cake. It’s about as much fun as I can have with my pants on.”

He also revealed what his diet is like on tour:

Simmons: “When in the middle of a tour, it doesn’t matter. I’d eat cheesecake every day because I’m wearing 40 pounds of armor, seven-inch platform heels — each one of the dragon boots probably weighed, I don’t know, eight to 10 pounds, a leg, a foot. You don’t have to do anything. Within two hours, you will be exhausted. The amount of calories burned on stage…you know, it’s like a heavy workout. And so I could eat anything. Strangely, I wouldn’t be that hungry, after you exert that pressure, but I’d crave sweets. So, in the morning, big egg white, maybe a little steak, toast, coffee. And then nothing until about three, four o’clock in the afternoon — a little pasta for some carbs, and then hit the stage. And then coming off the stage, cake. I woudln’t even have to eat it, I’d just rub it all over myself.”
