Now I don't really care what anyone thinks of Gene Simmons from Kiss and/or our good old SMF Dee Snider, but I have to say, I think they set good role models for kids, as well as anyone else, who admire and look up to rock stars. These two have shown you dont have to drink or do drugs to be cool and to rock out and have a long, long rock n roll career. I just wanted to give my thumbs up to these two for living the clean life all these years, yet still entertaining us with great rock songs and shows. That's it. ROCK ON!

Location: SCOTLAND		Yeah, 100% agree with the Dee part, but as good a role model Gene may be in terms of absinance from Drink and Drugs, he's become a whore for the almighty $ and has been for years. Also, he's pissed all over the legacy of KISS by allowing Peter and Ace's personas to be used by other musicians. Don't get me wrong, I love KISS's music and they still put on one hell of a show, but unfortunatly the magic seems to have dissappeared, nowadays KISS is just a business.

Not trying to piss anyone off, just my opinion!!

Cheers, Lorndog.

Let's take out Gene for his dollar oriented behaviour and add Paul Stanley, who is much more music/art oriented and he doesn't use drugs either.
