GENE SIMMONS Says His TV GUIDE Quotes Were Taken Out Of Context

September 15, 2004

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has posted the following message on his official web site:

"Just a quick note to let those of you who may have read the TV Guide online interview I did recently: I disavow the interview and the context the quotes attributed to me. In simple terms, the writer decided to paraphrase my quotes and take them out of context. As an example, if you said, 'I really hate people who come up to me and think they're all that...,', you might be surprised if there was a quote attributed to you that said 'I really hate people.' Anything taken out of context can effect meaning.

"I'm surprised at the decision by TV Guide to allow their writers to paraphrase interviews. I will always stand by what I say. But, I will never stand by what someone PARAPHRASES what I say.

"An amateurish example of reporting."
