GENE SIMMONS' 'Moneybag' Partner On KISS Bassist: 'He's Just A Machine'

July 6, 2007

Sarah Rowland of 24 Hours reports: For 27 years, Gene Simmons sat on his Moneybag trademark waiting for the perfect designer to collaborate with. So when the king of merch handpicked Vancouver's very Jason "Deuce" Dussault to work him on a line of bad ass Ts, bags and accessories, it was a pretty big deal - especially considering how much Dussault idolized the KISS bassist. The bearded clothier still remembers his first meeting with the blood-spewing musician last fall.

"He had just finished getting his plastic surgery and tummy tuck," recalls Dussault. "So when we showed up to his house, he's had on black sunglasses and a baseball cap. His eyes were black and his face was all puffy. His whole body was bandaged up like a mummy. But that's Gene Simmons — you can't keep him down for long. Because he just wants to get up and start doing business. He's just a machine."
