Simmons and Stanley were definitely not the kinds to be bogged down easily. They decided to form the ultimate rock band, and began their search for a drummer and a guitarist for their band. This extensive search ended when they were joined by two of the best in their respective fields - Peter Criscuola and Paul Frehley. And then, finally the big moment came in February 1974, when ‘Kiss’ released its debut album, which was incidentally self-titled!

Gene Simmons became the driving force behind the one of its kind, extensive Kiss merchandising franchise. It was Stanley who quickly took on the role of main performer on stage. With their trademark style and looks, the band rode on the wave of popularity for years together. Simmons was widely loved for his act of the ‘Demon’, by the young and old alike - the blood-spitting, fire-breathing, and tongue-wagging persona in the hard rock band Kiss!

On a more personal note, Simmons has had quite a few live-in relationships, the well-known ones being with Cher and Diana Ross. Though the man never married, he presently lives in California, with longtime partner Shannon Tweed. The couple has two children - a son, Nicholas, and a daughter, Sophie. A polyglot of sorts, Simmons can speak four languages – English, Hungarian, Hebrew and German – and is also trying his hand at Japanese and Mandarin!
