GENE SIMMONS - "Don't Kid Yourself... Anybody Who Is In A Band Has More Attention Than They'll Ever Want"

“Don’t kid yourself... anybody who is in a band has more attention than they’ll ever want,’’ he tells Australia's The Advertiser ahead of his shows with his solo band down under later this year. “Because of being in a band, you’ll get knocks on the door at all times.
