4 out of 5 stars God of Thunder, and Beatlesque Tunes.......2007-05-31

I think there's enough cool songs on here to outweigh the wacky ones. One thing I'll never figure out is why all 4 members decided to have female background singers on their records. More groupies I guess? Anyways, "Radioactive" is a cool Gene tune and sounded great live on the Dynasty Tour. "See You Tonite" is Gene doing a great Beatles interp., but I like it. I also like "Man of 1000 Faces" and "Mr. Make Believe." Gene gets silly with "Living in Sin" and "Tunnel of Love" and "When You Wish Upon a Star." But having the Kiss guys branch out and do different things is what makes these solos cool and unique. At this point, they had to write some different stuff.

4 out of 5 stars One of my favorite KISS solo albums.......2007-02-23

Gene Simmons once again proves that he is not your average rock god! My favorite track off of this album is "When You Wish Upon a Star". It is a very eclectic mix of music styles, but is definitely worth a listen.

5 out of 5 stars Hot & Heavy.......2006-11-11

Gene Simmons' first solo album is AWESOME!!!!!!!!! It features 11 songs, and features guest artists, including (but not limited to), Joe Perry, Cher, and Bob Seger! I noticed that every one of KISS' solo albums do at least one cover of another artist. I can't remember Paul Stanley's cover, but I know Peter Criss covered "Tossin' And Turnin'" and Ace Frehley covered "New York Groove". Gene Simmons steps it up by a lot! He covers "See You In Your Dreams" by KISS! He also covers a Walt Disney classic, "When You Wish Upon A Star", since he widely credits Disney for being instrumental in helping him learn English (Gene was originally from Israel). You truly won't be disappointed.

3 out of 5 stars Gene shoulda borrowed Aces Guitar........2006-05-28

Radioactive kicks off the album. It features a very nice orchestral opening, and then it becomes an excellent blues rock song. Gene couldn't have started the album off better. We get more blues-based rock in Burning Up With Fever and True Confessions which are a bit dull.I like Mr.Make believe,which is a cool tune.
See You In Your Dreams is a poor attempt to better a version on Rock And Roll Over,this version stinks.
The album closes with When You Wish Upon A Star, which is a cover of the song popularized by the Disney corporation. Why on Earth he did that song has got me buggered,while he did his best to get real emotion in that song,this album never hit the spot like it should have.

1 out of 5 stars Gene Simmons - self-titled (Mercury) .......2006-04-21

Are they kidding with this release?This is the 1978 solo record by the blood-spitting Kiss bassist Gene Simmons.Paul Stanley's solo lp is much better(see my review).I couldn't honestly see too many fans actually buying this CD reissue EXCEPT for maybe bored(yawn!)completists.I don't like to whine that much,but this disc was sort of tough for me to sit all the way through.There are a few so-so cuts,like "Burning Up With Fever","See You Tonite" and possibly "Mr.Make Believe".But the album's closer "When You Wish Upon A Star" almost made my dinner come up.Simply avoid at ALL costs.

1 out of 5 stars Heed The Parental Advisory Warning.......2007-07-30

Simmons must have sat down and decided he was going to record the worst crap and offend the most people. This CD is GARBAGE, worse than Horrible. Not being embarrassed by this kind of work says alot about Simmons, $$$!!! This is by far the worst solo work of any Kiss Member past or present.The only thing I can say about Simmons is he's made lots of money and has a pretty girlfriend. Who say's money can't buy love? Shannon go easy on the Botox.

1 out of 5 stars Truely made me ill.......2007-07-10

Wow. I borrowed this CD from my brother, who found it used for like $2. I knew it was going to be bad, but I could not possibily have imagined how bad. I'll be right back.... I have to vomit.

1 out of 5 stars This CD is terrible. .......2007-01-10

Gene Simmons helped to create one of the biggest rock bands of all time and has had his hands in so many other money making projects that I think he can handle the failure of this CD, but as a huge KISS fan and Gene fan I am urging you to not waste even the $1.25 on the used copy that I or anyone else is trying to get rid of. This CD shows why when you get to a certain level of fame you should hire people who will honestly tell you what they think. Gene must be surrounded by people who say all of his ideas are great because just about every idea on this CD is awful. I was so disapointed. Hopefully when he releases his boxed set "Monster" he will put at least some songs worth listening to.

2 out of 5 stars Hey Gene, No more solo albums, just stay in the Brothel .......2006-11-25

well at least the album cover is cute , because the songs on this are aweful. I was so disapointed by Gene's solo album. I knew it wasn't going to be as good as the KISS albums. So my expectations were minimal at best, but I at least expected to like it.

This album is so bad that I found myself wondering if Gene himeself ever listen to it before he put it out. I mean this album is embarassing.

I did like the title track. Bit the rest of the album was a disaster.this album isn't artistic, it isn't inspiring, and most of all it isn't even any good.

In the mid-to-late 1980's Ace Frehley embarked on a solo career with his band called "Frehley's Comet" that was rediculed by Gene Simmons. Although Frehley's comet wasn't all that bad, they weren't really great either. But as mediocre as Frehley's Comet was, Gene's album is so bad that it makes Ace Frehley's Comet look like Devine Greatness.

    4 out of 5 stars Klassical KISS..........2004-06-25

    KISS tribute albums started cropping up more than a decade ago very quickly oversaturating this market with a multitude of cds of varying quality (Hard To Believe, KISS of Death, Spacewalk). Now comes a tribute cd that offers a fresh and unique take on old KISS classics. Classical orchestration has long been a staple of KISS' repertoire, going back to the string ensemble used for the mega-hit Beth in 1976 progressing to the orchestral leanings and gregorian style chanting of the Elder album (1981) to the symphonic version of Black Diamond on their official KISS My A** tribute album to 2003's full blown KISS Symphony project.
    This quartet interprets both well known KISS tunes (Detroit Rock City, Rock and Roll All Night) and more obscure material (Goin' Blind). Some of the choices are downright offbeat, a string quartet version of the funky Ace Frehley number New York Groove...surely you jest...but what is remarkable is how well it works.
    Undisputed highlights are the beautiful renditions of Hard Luck Woman, Goin' Blind and Beth. The quartet incorporates subtle new parts that compliment these well loved melodies tremendously. Love Gun and I Was Made For Lovin' You are extremely powerful renditions also, if not just a little too reminiscent of the KISS Symphony cd and dvd. Even overplayed numbers like Calling Dr.Love and Rock and Roll All Nite are given new life by this incredibly talented ensemble.
    From the Rock and Roll Over album influenced cover art to the last strains of New York Groove, this unique tribute cd is a winner all the way.

    5 out of 5 stars From a (classic) KISS and Classical music Fan!.......2004-04-23

    EXCELLENT! I just bought this CD, and have already listened to it a half dozen times. I am a HUGE fan from the classic KISS years (1974-1979 - the years with Peter and Ace in the group).
    If you are a KISS fan, and also like string quartet music, you will love this. If you are a fan of either (KISS or string quartet music), you will have a better appreciation and like for both after purchasing and hearing this CD.
    These guys give the correct respect to classic KISS performance and it is especially seen in the string harmonies, and Ace's guitar solos in each song (except of course "Beth" which didn't have a solo by Ace until the "Unplugged" CD). The only down side of this are the songs that aren't on it, but hopefully that will mean a Volume 2!

    GREAT CD!

      Gene Simmons speaks in reasonable, black and white terms. His pragmatisum is refreshing and often hilarious. He'll give you the truth straight, and sometimes the truth hurts and offends. But it IS the truth, none the less. Like "Simon" on American Idol, he doesn't lie or sugercoat. The disc is well worth the money and healthy food for thought. Sit down and eat.

      1 out of 5 stars The Idiocy Continues..........2004-10-09

      This is yet more proof (not that you really needed it) that Gene Simmons has turned into the biggest idiot alive. I'm quite sure he couldn't care less what I or anyone thinks of him since he has a mega-fortune to immerse himself in that he's raked in from sticking it to his fans, especially in the past several years when Kiss has ceased being a rock & roll band and has once again turned into a wealth-obsessed corporate entity.

      I refuse to feed Simmons' huge ego and bank account by buying this piece of nihilistic, neanderthal schlock that he calls "being honest"; besides, it's nothing you haven't already heard him run off at the mouth about a million times before.

      Album Description

      Over twenty years after his first solo release, the legendary songwriter from KISS returns with a brand new solo album. Gene has steered KISS to becoming the #1 Gold records champion in the United States and this release shows exactly why. Behind the makeup is a songwriter whose devotion to his craft is undeniable. From the tongue-in-cheek humor of the first single, "***hole", to the dark intensity of "Weapons of Mass Destruction" or the (gasp) romantic balladry of "Somebody Beautiful", this record shows the man behind the mask is a demon of talent.

      This, as with his other musical contributions is excellent work. I have been a Kiss fan since their inception. Having collected all of their musical and video works, I would say this is Gene's best work to date. Can't wait for "Monster" to be released.

      If you are entertained by music (and a KISS fan would help), this is a good listen. Nothing memerable, just a good listen. It would be a must have clearance disk but its probably not for most people. I Loved It.

      4 out of 5 stars Good introduction to dual disc.......2005-03-12

      First of all, you may be wondering what a dual disc is. It is a 2-sided disc, one side is CD and the other side is DVD audio. Basically this disc will play in your conventional CD player or alternatively you can play it, in Dolby Digital on your DVD player. If you have a set of 5.1 surround speakers you get to hear this album in surround sound. (Note: You do not need to have a DVD-audio player to enjoy the surround sound - this plays on DVD-video players in surround).

      If you already have this on CD and do not have a surround sound speaker set up it is really not worth buying again on Dual Disc, unless that is you want to watch the promo video of Firestarter which is also included.

      I already owned this on CD, and I think this is a very good album, not an all time classic, but a collection of, for the most part, enjoyable Simmons songs with a great variety of styles, from hard rock to ballads, drum'n'bass, metal, rock'n'roll - all done with a pretty modern production, albeit a weakish production on certain songs.

      I bought the dual disc version so that I could listen to it in surround sound - and it does sound great coming out of my DVD 5.1 speaker setup. The Firestarter video is pretty ridiculous, Gene acting like a loony pimp surrounded by dozens of LA bimbo's in bikini's - but well shot. Shame that the title track wasn't the single from the album, because it is far more commercial than the dreadful Firestarter song.

      All in all I'm glad I purchased this again on dual disc and think the format is a great idea. I get to play the disc in surround sound at home, and still get to be able to play it in the car stereo !

      Highly recommended if you enjoy 5.1 dolby digital surround.

      Not highly recommended if you do not. But you may find it worth while if you want to watch the Firestarter video.

Rockabilly at its very finest from a guy who grew up in Elvis' home town! Finally, this collection brings together all the essentials of Gene's recording career at Sun Records. Every title he cut at 706 Union Avenue is here, many in multiple takes. From his earliest Tupelo demos to more polished studio work, these tapes reveal as never before the heavy influence of southern blues on Gene Simmons' music. They also showcase the distinctive lead guitar work provided by Gene's brother, Carl. New interview material by Sun historian Hank Davis helps to round out the fullest picture yet of this underrated artist. As a bonus, we also present the first three recordings Gene made across Memphis at the Hi Records Studio in 1959, two of which appeared on the Checker label. All in all, this is the most comprehensive look yet at one of Sun's most enthusiastic rockabilly performers.

          4 out of 5 stars Amazing - Can't Believe this guy used to be in Kiss!.......2004-06-06

          This is incredible work! He sounds nothing like he does in Kiss. It's amazing early work that I really enjoyed hearing. Much more diverse than his new CD! Awesome!

          5 out of 5 stars Absolutely great music.......2002-12-13

          This is a great collection of great music that's being performed by one of the greatest of the rock-a-billy singers, Jumpin' Gene Simmons, one of the original Sun Recording Artist. Sam Philips had him two winners from Tuplo, Elvis and Jumpin' Gene.

          3 out of 5 stars Complete but necessary?.......2002-09-12

          Can't beat 39 tracks on any artist, but generic, boring covers of Rock Around The Clock, Skinny Minnie, Teen-Age Letter, etc. make for a tedious listening. This is for the hard-core oldies or Simmons fan at this price; a cheaper, condensed package would do the average oldies fan just fine.
