Gene Simmons Meets Fangoria's Editor

As reported here earlier, Fangoria Magazine published a special Kiss issue last year with a really nice Gene cover. Last week Chris Alexander, the editor of Fangoria Magazine, met Gene Simmons in Toronto. Chris has been kind enough to send Kiss On Fire an exclusive report of this meeting. This is what Chris has to say:

Gene and KISS were my gateways at a very early age to horror, monsters and bizarre and outlandish forms of pop culture. And no matter how my life has changed since I first saw The Demon with his fanged head back on the cover of LOVE GUN at age 3, KISS and horror movies have always remained a constant. That's why it's such a joy to be able to have put Gene on the cover of FANGORIA #298 and to give back some of that love and admiration in print for other horror geeks to enjoy and hopefully be inspired by anew. It's also a bit surreal to have become friendly with The Demon in the months following our FANGORIA interview and to have been able to catch up with him during his recent trip to my hometown, Toronto during advertising week. His presentation was a mixture of controlled, high minded lecture about succeeding against the odds and an out of control rock and roll chaos...a blend that pretty much defines the man's persona in a nutshell, controlled yet somewhat unhinged. Gotta love him...
