You can't beat Gene for ever more creative ways of extracting money from fans!

If he paid me $12,500 I'd be up for it ...

[Lozz196]

I think for that I could be persuaded too @Happy Jack

[tauzero]

"And… you get a Gene Simmons (KISS-rehearsal-used) bass signed by Gene Simmons"

 

Doesn't say whether it's used by Gene Simmons himself or the session man playing for him.

[SteveXFR]

The worring thing is people will pay for this experience. They probably won't even meet him.

[Mudpup]

You can be mine for half that......

...and a copy of the bass backing track used at the gig.

In the interview he says no roadies and uses the venues backline!...

Winner will get the chance to make Gene a Baloney Sandwich

 

All a far cry from Lemmy 'n co stepping out the stage door at Hammy Odeon in the afternoon to chat and sign album covers 'n stuff.

 

Mate took his Warriors album, Lemmy smiled and said it was Stacia sat on the horse, as he unfolded the gatefold Shield for a reminiscent look and signed with his Horascope Signature,

And my leather bike jacket at the end of the Hawkwind (in the Motorhead-like Church of Hawkwind Font in red) across the back yoke in Silver pen.

Chatted to some bloke about his bass and was using Rotosound Strings at the time.

I could have what's purported to be Kent's best sausage roll for £3.50. I'm going to stick with that I feel.

I had the good fortune to meet Lemmy. Now there's a man who appreciated his fans. He just wanted fans to enjoy his music a nd have a great time at shows and nothing more.

[Jackroadkill]

With an attitude like that he'll end up with a job at the upper level of the US government.

[Buddster]

"Tickets to the show are not included, as they are sold through the individual venues."

 

So you have to sit in the back of the van with a coke and packet of crisps 

[Cato]

Unless something we don't know about has happened to his personal fortune then he surely doesn't need the money, he must just really enjoy thinking up new ways of taking cash off his fans.

How much are they charging for the coke and crisps?

[Rich]

If I had 12.5k to throw away, the absolute very last person on earth I'd give it to would be Mr Witz. 

[Baloney Balderdash]

Well, I can beat the offer: For just 1000£ you can get the unique opportunity to clean up my apartment...

 

How about that?

 

*Transport back and forth not included in the price!

Maybe you get the chance to take the 'polaroids'.

Maybe he wants to be the new host of The Apprentice and is demonstrating his potential.

[MacDaddy]

You can take a guest, so per person it's only $6,250.00 🙂

Since you put it like that, it's a bargain 

[michael2003x]

Paying to work, goes against every atom in my body, paying to work for that creep, even more so

Isn’t that pretty much what a lot of the dinosaur bands do now. 
Stones, Madonna etc are not short of money, but it must make feel good that they can still milk the cash cow.
