Who Is Buying The Gene Simmons Vault?
Saturday, September 16, 2017 at 08:00AM
The Vault is a 50 year time capsule of Gene Simmons' life - songs he has written but never released. It has an action figure and book plus other stuff. He will also hand deliver the Vault to you. Now, this thing isn't cheap. It's $2,000 which seems more than insane, but plenty will pay it. So who is first in line? Brian, I'm looking right at you!

Have any awesome weekend.

Gene after checking out the website hawking this atrocity, I firmly believe that you have lost any sort of charisma as it relates to yourself or KISS. If you fancy a reading and a couple of laughs just read the FAQ:

I know its low hanging fruit here to not agree with Gene. 150 songs/2,000 bucks ? = $13.34 a song or $200 a CD. I'm going to start a GO FUND ME PAGE, who's in ? *crickets* Hey, if somehow we get the $50,000 goal. I will then start another auction where the 25 guests that come can personally kick Gene in the balls. $50,000/25 guests = $2,000. CDs that would be pirated and available soon on some Chinese torrent site (I do not condone that action) vs. actually winding up and splitting Demons nards ? I'm in !! :)
I am (sometimes embarassingly) a KISS fan. However, this is less offensive to me than the KISS coffin, KISS wine, and the KISS Hello Kitty line. At least this is based on music and not just another way to over-market your name and brand.
That being said, I cannot justify any of the three pricing tiers ($50k for home delivery, 10k for
The hotel meet and greet, or $2k for the product and a quick delivery). That being said, I am interested to hear the songs. I'm sure most are clunkers (a song that isn't good enough to be on a KISS album must be bad.....after all, they did use the line 'let me put my log in your fireplace', so the bar has to be pretty low), but it is likely there are a few gems on there.
I'm guessing the music will slowly disseminate over time and I'll be able to listen on YouTube, but that may take a while. Patience shall be my friend.
Now if Axl put out a similar product, I may be writing a check......
Still, if I had won the Powerball for $792 million a couple weeks ago, I would probably buy this for the sheer hell of it! But regardless of whether I could afford it or not, I will always be mystified as to why he would ever let this stuff go! It seems priceless to me!
What on earth does he need the $50,000 for? He really is living up to his reputation as someone who would sell his mother (if she was alive) if the price is right.
