After further review...
Gene Simmons' stock hath fallen even further with me today. I watched a couple episodes of his lame reality TV show today (btw, ain't that a redundant term--lame reality TV show?), "Family Jewels". In one such episode, Gene and his lovely family were on some sort of vacation to do some snowboarding in the Colorado mountains, and our favorite wacky demon was freaking out about having to board a ski-lift to take him to the top of the mountain. This is the same guy who breathes fire and has absolutely no fear of being transported via fairly precarious cables to the top of the Kiss lighting rig in an attempt to give his audience the illusion of "flying" night after night in concert, and yet he's scared of a ski-lift? Riiiight. Hell, yours truly has ridden on a ski-lift (minus the snow on the ground, no less) without fear, not to mention the "Big Shot" ride 900 bloody feet above the earth on the Stratosphere tower in Las Vegas, and I didn't bat a fucking eyelash! Either Gene was play-acting or was truly scared shitless on his little TV show, and either way, he looked like a total wuss!
