Okay, as I understand it, Gene Simmons recently came into a KISS Con, leading Federal agents, looking for bootleggers....
They overturned booths, confiscated materials, and generally muscled their way through the Con.... a sanctioned function, attended by fans and vendors with licensed merchandise for sale/trade.
The general tenor of the guy who related the story, who was presumably present, was that Gene was balls-to-the-wall... a real asshole to the people there, flinging products around, demolishing booths, pushing people around.
It's not about the fans anymore... it's about how much money Gene can make off them. He's always been pretty mercenary, merchandising anything remotely KISS that he can get his hands on... but this time he's (at least in my estimation) really crossed the line. *shrugs* I know there's more details that I'm missing, but remember.... I'm not the fan here, lol, I'm hearing about it from my hubby, who read it on one of the fansites.
