GENE SIMMONS Guests On 'Hannity & Colmes'; Video Available

May 23, 2007

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons appeared on the "Hannity & Colmes" program on FOX News on Thursday, May 17 to talk about his recent visit to Camp Pendleton. Watch the interview at this location. A transcript of the chat can be found here.

On the Camp Pendleton visit, Simmons said, "My daughter wrote a term paper for the school. She's 14, by the way. And you know, I had some issues with books. Books take you so far. Camp Pendleton is just about an hour and a half, two hours outside of L.A. So I took my daughter and we went to the V.A. hospital there. There are vets of Korea, Vietnam and the Iraqi conflict. We met real live living heroes. I was so moved. It's going to be a one-hour special on A&E Sunday nights. My daughter and I went through basic training, just two days' worth. Let me tell you something... It is brutal. You have to respect — forget about the fact that our troops, men and women alike, aren't paid money. They don't get famous. I mean, this is something that really touched me personally. I don't care what side of the spectrum you're on. Everybody agrees these are the finest young people on the face of the planet."

KISS has announced a pair of shows for July — a July 20 show in Sault Ste. Marie, MI, and an appearance the following day at Rock Fest 2007 in Cadott, WI.
