While the path of ‘End of the Road Tour’ continues its course, burning the scenarios in which Kiss is writing the last pages of its history live, as we already live in Barcelona Y Madrid, Gene Simmonsthe bassist and vocalist of the legendary group, has confessed what his dream scenario would be to put the definitive end to the band’s career, and on this occasion we find the most humble Simmons when referring to his beloved the Beatles.

The interview granted by Gene to space My Planet Rocks It has been the one that has allowed us to know the dream of the bass player to finish his steps in the mythical The Cavern in which the four from Liverpool began their journey: “I have dream scenarios in my mind: I don’t have the right to say those words; I’m not qualified to say those words. It’s even almost sacrilegious. Man, I wish the last time was playing with very small amps at the Cavern Club. Even if there was nobody there or just a kind of closed circle, it would be a moving bow to those four guys who came out of Liverpool. That not only changed my life, but it gave me a reason.”

Simmons recalls how The Beatles was the reason he didn’t end up following in their footsteps in the world of teaching: “I was about to be a sixth-grade teacher in Spanish Harlem in New York, and I was working on a government-funded project where I was the assistant principal. I was making money, not that I needed a job. At 23 I had saved $23,000, which was a lot of money at the time, after taxes, so I was doing really well, but I just couldn’t see going through life without grabbing whatever guitars and basses and all that. , and try to do what those guys were doing.”

Gene settles the issue by fleshing out this daydream: “Of course, we didn’t even get to shine their shoes. We can’t. We can’t. We’re not qualified to walk beside them. But tribute would be a good word. My knees would buckle just thinking about playing that last concert, maybe.” before a group of friends at the Cavern Club”.
