DVD-Gene Simmons: Speaking in Tongues

For those living under a rock, Gene Simmons is the bassist and sometimes lead singer of the rock group KISS. Combining music with makeup and savvy marketing, Simmons has turned KISS into a business juggernaut.

As a kid, I used to be fascinated with Gene Simmons. Then, I grew up and got into more adult music like Nirvana and Bob Dylan. But it was later that I become fascinated with Mr. Simmons again after hearing an interview with him. Gene has a unique view of life that I find refreshing and agreeable. He is a hero of mine.

Speaking in Tongues is a DVD about Gene's unique worldview. Unfortunately, it sucks. The production is bad, and there's not enough Gene. The sage advice Simmons gives can be captured in these two statements:

1. Never get married.

2. Work 7 days a week.

He also has some other advice that he lives by but is not captured in the DVD:

3. Never use drugs or drink alcohol.

All in all, this vid could have been way better. I would recommend saving your money and getting the DVD's of his reality show Family Jewels.
