Gene Simmons said about the Covid-19 pandemic and losing money:

“I wash my hands so [often] – I’ve never been so clean in my life. I’m usually a slob. I’m so grateful to everybody out there who risks their lives for you guys and me.”

“We can talk about the big numbers and that means billions of dollars that are lost. The rich and the famous and the good-looking folks who wear silly outfits like this and have silly hair like this… billions of dollars just flushed down the drain. So what? You’re talking about single mothers and families who live from check to check. The people who actually put on these concerts. The security people, the road crews, all that stuff. This is survival. The folks in and around the infrastructure are the people who are suffering the most.”

 

About Kiss, he said:

We are “doing our part. Writing checks. I just sent a nice big check to the children’s hospital here in L.A. Because you not only have children suffering from this horrible thing, there are children who are also fighting cancer. We have nothing to complain about. Stop complaining. I keep saying that all the time… There are some miserable things going on out there; people are losing their lives. We’re in this together. The only way is the lonely way.”

“We’re gonna go back once it’s safe, once there’s a cure. We would never put our fans in danger, or ourselves.”

I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago. Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions. After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world! MTB: 0021377/MG
