GENE SIMMONS Desperate To Get His Hands On KISS COLA Bottle?

April 10, 2006

According to a posting at lKissNews.de, KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons is desperately trying to get his hands on a French Kiss Cola bottle, which Coca Cola in France sent out to some people in the media for promotional purposes in a limited quantity (approximately 500 pieces). The bottle is one of the most sought-after KISS collectibles and has already been sold on eBay for about US $800.

KISS fan Patrick Viguier from France, who owns a Kiss Cola bottle, was reportedly contacted by someone representing Gene Simmons and was told that Simmons would trade a signed copy of his biography "Kiss and Make-Up" for the bottle. "I already have the book," is what Viguiers reportedly told the Simmons representative and suggested Gene visit him at home in his KISS museum in France, where he would give him the bottle as a gift. But Simmons — who is apparently unable to make the trip to France — refused to give up, sending another letter to Patrick asking him to reconsider his decision and indicating that Gene was willing to buy the bottle and all that Viguier needed to do was name a price. But Viguier would not budge, telling Simmons, "I don't care about money. I am not asking for something impossible. I am a longtime KISS fan and once in my life I would like to meet my hero!"
