I've met Gene several times. Sometimes he's cool, other times he's not. Depends on his mood. You should read the experience that someone shared on Metal Sludge they had with him on the Reunion tour. Better yet, you should hear the phone conversation I had with him last year. First of all, he lies to me and says that, and I quote, "I'm sitting here signing litterally thousands of onion skins so everybody gets their copy of KISSTORY II...signed". Guess what? They are NOT SIGNED! Then he goes on about how, being I own a KISS Platinum card, that I need to "get a life" and how he tried to turn everything around on me to make it look like I wanted him to drop everything for me. No, on the contrary. I just wanted what I was entitled to.

Ever since the reunion tour, they don't really have time for people who they consider "pee-ons". You know...the people who supported them all through the non-makeup years. Since they are popular again, they have more time for people who are dignitary figures to keep their names in the papers. They really take that for granted. If you heard this phone call I had with Gene, you'd DEFINITELY be in agreement. Fortunately, Tommy Thayer has been quite accomidating and has for the most part, taken care of me.
