About this album

Gene Simmons is a flamboyant hard rock solo debut that extends Kiss's larger-than-life theatrics into a more personal, playful setting. Released in 1978, it found the band's bassist and co-frontman balancing arena-sized riffing with pop instincts, novelty touches and a mischievous sense of self-mythology. The album features contributions from a range of prominent players and moves between muscular rockers and unexpectedly tender moments, showing Simmons as a songwriter with sharp instincts for hooks and character. It became one of the most talked-about solo releases from the Kiss solo-album project, adding another layer to the band's myth and market dominance.
