Los Angeles police say a task force investigating Internet crimes against children served a search warrant at the home of Kiss rocker Gene Simmons, but neither Simmons nor anyone in his family is suspected in the case.


So, they went through the trouble of getting a search warrant for his home, but neither he nor anyone in his family is suspected? How does that work?

Maybe he's been eating too much subway?

It apparently happened last year when he was on tour. Sounds like an employee did something.

I never really got the love affair with Kiss and Gene Simmons. Never really liked any of their music. They seem really overblown.....Guess Simmons has been overblown by some young-n's.

They're not great musicians, but they had an innovative idea and have marketed the hell out of it for 40 years.

They are the epitome of perfect branding and self-promotion.

Simmons is actually a good business man that leveraged himself well (from what I've read/seen about him).

No offense Chicken but that just means 40 million people have terrible taste in music.

This sounds different from the Jared story...

quote:

The division that handles online crimes against children executed the warrant Thursday, according to Lt. John Jenal of the Los Angeles Police Department.

"No members of the Simmons family are suspects in the case and were extremely cooperative," he said.


quote:

The rocker's publicist said the police visit was connected with a crime that may have occurred on the property last year while Simmons was away touring with his band.

This.

Gene Simmons is a branding and marketing genius. He was really before his time.

Ditto. I remember ordering "Destroyer" from that record club in the TV Guide where you taped a penny to the order form. When this and the other albums I ordered came in I opened it up there was the form to join the Kiss Army which of course I did with quickness.

You know how to tell if someone is old? They're a Kiss fan.
