Legend has it that Kiss frontman Gene Simmons has partied with upwards of 4,000 women, outdone only by basketball legend Wilt Chamberlain (20,000) and porn king John C. Holmes (14,000).

His 28 year girlfriend, model Shannon Tweed, has finally had enough.  Tweed saw a picture on TMZ.com of Simmons with two young women on his arms. As Tweed makes clear in the clip from "Gene Simmons Family Jewels," shown on "Today," she's done.

Normally I would post a Gene Simmons Back on the Market thread, but he was never OFF the market.  ;D

I'm trying to figure out what women see in men like this.

Gold digging?  Money?  Fame?  What?

What? Are you kidding?  Have you seen Gene Simmons' tongue!

It...uh...helped make him...uh...a rich and famous show business personality which attracts a lot of women...you see what I'm saying?

Oh, and if Shannon Tweed is 28, then it's 1985, Reagan is president, the Soviet Bloc is intact, and I'm a 16-year-old nerd listening to Depeche Mode on his boombox!

I think what the article meant was Gene and Shannon have been girlfriend/boyfriend, baby mama/baby daddy for each other, happily unmarried to each other, whatever you want to call it... for 28 years together (IMDB says she was born in 1957 - well... at least parts of here were... some parts are a little younger then that).

As for 4,000, why that arbitrary number?  If you can forgive, oh I don't know, 2 affairs in the normal (non-Hollywood-type non-marriage, commited relationship) then you can forgive 4,001.  It's a little bizarre to me, but hey I'm neither rich, nor beautiful so maybe my values are all wrong.  ;D

How do you keep track?  Do you count the girls you did before you were a rock star?  Do the really easy groupies get on a quarter point while the stuck up rich supermodel is worth seven points,  or is one woman one notch regardless. 

I once concluded mathematically that Wilt Chamberlaine's claim was false.  In the allotted period would have had to bed 5.8 girls every day without failure for ten years or something.  I can't locate my notes from 1989! It was not physically impossible, I remember, but it would be physically taxing and extremely distracting for NBA Superstar, making the feat all but impossible.  Anyway, my theory is once you pass the one thousand mark, it doesn't matter any more!  Now, if any of you ladies would like to help me test my hypothesis, you'd be more than welcome.  No dudes!

Truthfully, I think it's a publicity stunt to get attention for their reality show which the new season starts soon.  She could care less or she'd have been gone long ago.

Apparently he keeps a photo album with Polaroids of several of the women's photos in them.  It would have to be an awfully BIG photo album or really small photos to fit them all in.

He's been with her for 28 years?  ???

He must be a player. :o

It's not too difficult to keep track once you get a good system.

Yeah, I misread "28 year" as "28-year-old"!

But I thought he was married? ???

Huh? Now I'm confused.

According to IMDb, Simmons and Tweed have been shacked up since 1986, have two kids together, but were never married.  Simmons didn't want to be monogamous.

What is he waiting for?

I don't think he's waiting for anything...other than Shannon to leave and for the kids to get outta the house.  That way he can party longer and harder than ever!

Ummm .. MS Excel would be far cheaper. I believe excel would have more than enough lines and columns to handle all those names.

I imagine he's waiting for the right girl to come along...  :P

He'll be an old man in a wheelchair before the right girl comes along.  ::)

I don't see where he has the time to do it himself really.  What between negotiating everything under the sun to have a Kiss emblem, so that the Kiss Army will keep him in moolah, and er um entertaining females.

What about the other KISS members? ???

Shannon probably couldn't care less who they sleep with.

I'll say the same thing about Gene Simmons as I have about Hef.  I don't care what sort of precautions he may have taken over the years, when you've partied with 4000, statistics is gonna take over.  His VD history is probably epic.  8-P

Could Gene keep going after 4000?

I suppose so.  But Wilt Chamberlain had hit the 20,000-mark by the time he was 55, and John Holmes had hit 14,000 when he was 37.

At 62 years old, Simmons has LOTS of catching up to do.  ;D

Remember kids, it doesn't take 4000 partners to get an STD.  It only takes 1!  The wrong one...or the right one from the virus's perspective!

Anyone who partied as hard in the seventies as Simmons did is fortunate to be alive today!

He can rock and roll and party all night!  ;)

Try to keep up.  Max already addressed this issue a few days ago:


What? Are you kidding?  Have you seen Gene Simmons' tongue!


With a tongue like that, it shouldn't be a long wait.

Get your lyrics right.  He can rock and roll all night, and party every day.  He can Uhh all night. 

But since this is thread is actually about Gene Simmons' tongue, neither of those tracks apply.  The correct track is Lick it Up.

Now I'll grant that I've never really thought about this song from Gene's perspective (ladies, check out 2:36 in the video), but y'know, the lyrics work just as well whether Gene's singing to Shannon or Shannon's singing to Gene.  Whoever wrote those lyrics must have been one cunning linguist.

After this video was made,thousands of women wound up with diseases.  :D

Yeah, just what I thought, it's to drum up ratings for this the last season of their reality series.  I have no idea WHY I watch it, I guess it's kinda like passing a car accident (rubber-necking).  Some of it is just edited horribly and you know these things are written for storyline and filmed for content to support it.  At least there is only one more episode left, most of the last three episodes consisted of Gene's psychitrist sessions, trying to have Gene figure out for himself why he's a dog and why he doesn't consider anyone's feelings but his own.  Oh and Shannon getting revenge for the TMZ photo by buy a couch for their mansion worth (base price $28,000) (not including custom fabric.)
They even went so far as to imply a mini "intervention" of hid adult son, his business manager, and his current guitarist (Tommy Thayer).  They all insisted that Shannon was a catch and he should amend his ways before she is gone.

What is California law about common law marriage?  Wouldn't they be considered married by now?


Last episode is hinting that he's gonna ask her to marry him after 28 years, but I really think it's gonna turn out to be a bait and switch episode.  He'll ask her some other important question (let's adopt a child from Israel) and then the series ends.

Lick it Up is the greatest KISS song of all time.  I grew up with it, and it's still a great song today.

What? Are you kidding?  Have you seen Gene Simmons' tongue!

It...uh...helped make him...uh...a rich and famous show business personality which attracts a lot of women...you see what I'm saying?

Oh, and if Shannon Tweed is 28, then it's 1985, Reagan is president, the Soviet Bloc is intact, and I'm a 16-year-old nerd listening to Depeche Mode on his boombox!

God, I wish I could give you 100 karma points JUST for this comment! LMAO!!!
