well if you knew anything they were paid $50,000 to come hand deliver a limited edition vault of unreleased gene simmons music and hang out. there was no mention that they would even perform . gene was just suppose to play some of the cd's from the vault and tell stories. instead he showed up and played live with ace frehley, who also was mentioned in the article when you bought it so 2 surprises. here is what anyone who bought the $50,000 package was going to get.


- Host Gene In Your Home! You and up to 25 guests will spend an intimate 2 hours with Gene
- “Songs & Stories” Playback and Q&A in your home
- You are guaranteed a low numbered vault (Within First 300)
- Gene photo/video/autograph session
- Gene hand delivers your limited-edition personalized Vault
Vault Pre-Pack: Signed Golden Ticket, T-Shirt, Download Card (with “Are You Ready”), And laminate
-Each guest will receive an exclusive T-shirt and laminate


no mention of ace an actual live performance or anything like that

This is not a private concert where you hire KISS. I dont know what you pay for the Kiss Kruise, but that's basically a private concert for the fans. $750?

At least it is not completely a "NOW PLAYING KIDS BIRTHDAY PARTIES" type of thing.

$50,000 is an extraordinarily high price even if you include the rambling nonsensical jam session, but some people have money to burn!

In this day and age of yachting (where bonafide movie stars are paid to spend time with Billionaires on their yachts)... and with the amount of money they are paid (an amount making the stars more than willing to take part)... more is expected than showing up and smiling.

I just learned about "yachting" (look deeper if you dare) in the last couple of months. There are rumors even the futre Princess was a yacht girl for a while. They say Lindsey Lohan is a full time yacht girl these days... and it is said many, whose names which would surprise, jet over to Dubai for the weekend all the time, pick up a nice check and jet back.


What famous people are willing to do for money (and what rich people are willing to pay famous people) these days is less and less surprising.

it is a ton of money but think the money was used for the vault which is $2000 by itself plus airline tickets for gene and whoever else comes. food for them. probably a room in a hotel to stay one night. the merchandise for roughly 25 people.

They play concerts during the cruise.

The Kiss fans love those Kruises because you get to see concerts, meet other fans, hang around and hear and see them play rarely played songs.

I do remember someone here starting a petition about IORR-members hiring the band (RS) for a private gig and get-together.
I think the stakes were at $1000 a member. The whole thing came to nothing in the end though...

What did I just walk into the middle of ? Gene and Ace playing together again ? Are we getting ready for a reunion ?

There are rumors, but it's doubtful. Ace seems to have mended his friendship with Gene and Paul at least.

He's also going to be on this year's Kiss Kruise with his solo band, which is an interesting development. You'd have to think that maybe they'd jam at some point. However, it probably won't turn into a full-blown reunion. Gene and Paul have repeatedly said they're happy with the current lineup.

It's fair to say that the door has been cracked open and I think Gene and Paul are checking out the shape that Ace is in just in case and Gene probably has $ signs dancing in his head for the final last time to cash in before retirement .

I think that's right...Eddie Trunk (a hard rock DJ on satellite radio) feels the same way. He thinks the only way a reunion with Ace would occur is if the $$$ is sufficiently more from what Gene and Paul are currently pulling in with their "scab" band.

Just horrific band. Smart businessmen though

If only fifty of us put up a mill or so, we could probably get the boys back into the studio for a few hours.
I look at all this as a clue.

No , we put up the money here on BV's board and we get them to play for us a nice private show just like they did for Robert Craft .

If I wanted to waste $50,000 on crap I would first not spend $50,000 to go out in the yard and clean up my dog shit. Gene Simmons certainly has idiot sheep to eat his crap products.

I saw them on the last reunion tour in 2000, all four guys were there.

They’re back at it with Midnight Rambler at 14:20 and 2000 Man at 18:40. Sympathy at 23:00

That was even worse. Still a fan and don't unerstand why they, who can play real good (yes they can, dont believe the BS, seen them live) just dont rehearse ten-twenty songs and then play those.

I know this is just part of the 50 k deal but still.

Agreed. Gene is a better bass player than many give him credit for. Better than he gives HIMSELF credit for. Its very sad.

Two of the WORST musicians of all time.

Hire them to play ONLY to get squatters OUT of your house.

My ears are bleeding after listening to this.
