GENE SIMMONS Attempts To Break Pizza-Eating Record; Video Available

New Zealand's TV3 reports that a Guinness World Record has been broken by a New Zealander today (Saturday, March 22) but it was not local contestants the crowds were interested in.

Gene Simmons from rock band KISS thought he would have a crack at being the world's fastest pizza eater.

The rock icon may have a legendary mouth but he was not able to set any pizza-eating records today.

Watch video footage of Simmons taking part in the pizza-eating contest at this location.

KISS are in Wellington for a two-day rock festival that also features OZZY OSBOURNE and ALICE COOPER.
