Gene Simmons(o1)

Chaim Weitz aka Gene Simmons  was in one of the craziest  bands on all time! Gene Simmons was born  on august 25, 1949 in Haifa Israel. For eight years Gene Simmons lived there until  him and his mom went to new york to live with relatives. When gene started going to public school that is when  he started to get an interest in music. He also wanted to start a band in middle school because when he was watching the Beatles on TV he saw all these girls screaming for them  and he wanted to be in there shoes some day. So another that a few of his friends made a band in middle school called The missing links  they started this band because they all liked music but another big reason was to get the lady's in the school. The bands stayed together for a long time they stayed together after the graduated high school and they played around doing gigs. But they  weren't making enough money  people tried helping them but it wasn't enough it looked like all help was lost until they got their big break  with calling Jimi Hendrix studio and trying to get funds after they listened to the band on tape. They did after that Gene and a few other bands member's wanted to change up their band. So by 1972 the band changed into kiss! When they changed their band it was very good they changed everything about themselves they wore crazy outfits and had make up on which the fans really liked. Some Albums by kiss were Alive,destroyers, rock and rock all over and many more these albums were a pretty great success! Kiss was a great band in the later years kiss broke up around 1997 because Gene wanted to do other things like fashion and jewelry. Even though kiss broke up they will still go down in history for being one of the craziest rock bands of all time! This is shown when they were in ducted into the hall of fame in 2014!
