I remember hearing a rebroadcast of this interview on Fresh Air/ NPR about two years ago. Currently, for some reason, it's not available for streaming on NPR. But getting right to it this is by far one of the best interviews I have heard on radio for obvious and subtle reasons. To simplify the reasons for this choice is the dynamic of a serious interviewer and a seriously obnoxious guest, which Mr. Simmons provides in such an amazing way. It’s like hearing a horrible car crash but much better.
In full disclosure I am a big fan of Terry Gross and Fresh Air, not so much Kiss. This was the first time I have really heard Gene Simmons interviewed and although I still feel the same way about Kiss I have discovered a new found respect for him that was absolutely surprising to me. He really does seem to worship himself in a way that demands a concentrated opinion and mine leans on the positive. Well without any further introduction and if this still holds your interest here is a link to interview on YouTube:
