Kiss’ Gene Simmons told Piers Morgan the moment he’d like to relive, and that would be Kiss’ debut show at the Academy of Music in New York City back in 1973.
Gene said:
“I would choose the beginning. The very first time we ever got up on stage fourth on the bill, New Year’s Eve 1973 in New York City. My heart was pumping like nothing you ever saw because you have to understand when you come from the loins of the people, you know, come up on the streets, and you see these sort of god-like figures on stage having the time of their lives.
He continued:
”Being adored, plumbers don’t get that even the Pope doesn’t get knickers thrown in his face. He might, but I’m going to get in trouble, but this astonishing lifestyle and I was never the best-looking guy and all that stuff, but soon as you start strumming the guitar and, of course, sticking out my prodigious oral appendage, boom!”
