October 20, 2014, 10 years ago
KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons is gearing up for the October 21st release of his new book, Me, Inc.: Build An Army Of One, Unleash Your Inner Rock God, Win In Life And Business. He recently spoke with Business Insider about his path to becoming a businessman. An excerpt from the article is available below:
When he co-founded KISS, Simmons never saw it as just a musical project, he says. He always saw it as a music business.
"The KISS thing, when you really look at it," he tells us, "has become this huge monster, despite the fact that critics say that doing games and slot machines and golf courses is not credible. Critics still live in their mother's basement. We own the world."Go to this location for the complete article.
