      Yes Gene does treat kids & inspiring musicians with much respect, I’m a big fan of Gene just not when he turns on his arrogant button. I seen KISS in 1996 in Hamilton,Ontario,
      Canada at Copps Coleseium with all 4 original members & it was simply amazing it’s still the best rock n roll show I’ve ever been to & the LOUDEST!!! But the opening band was,”Glueleg” which kinda took me back but they rocked & did what they could. & I’ve seen a lot of great Rock N Roll Shows. The 2nd best rock show I’ve ever been to was at the same venue but with Ozzy,Danzig & Sepultura. Ozzy was Ozzy & on the big screen they had these funny skits & this was around the same year 1996/97 so Alanis Morrisette was still Big & Ozzy had this funny video of one of her video’s in the car but Ozzy was in the back seat of the car lol

    I must say , Gene is great to his younger fans. His whole band are great role models. They've shown that it takes HARD WORK and PERSEVERANCE to obtain your dreams. They also are not afraid to give fans a little push into the spotlight, literally. I'm not the biggest Gene fan, but this definitely raises his rank in my book.

    I love how the guitar player in Gene's band literally pushed the kid up to center stage at 1:15. Class. Someone like Paul would have pushed him off of the stage - God forbid someone take the spotlight. the difference between Gene and his attitude and Paul and his....the song just ended and I actually smiled and applauded that kid. Well done and loved that he played the solo to match his personality.It actually worked.

      Not true. Both Paul and Gene are drawn to the fans. Paul has shown a willingness to take question after question from fans on the cruises and at the conventions when he headlines. This was just Gene doing what he's preached for 50 years - fans are the boss, he obeys.

    Glad it worked out this time. Friday night at Hoosier Park Casino Gene brought up singers from the crowd who couldn't sing.

    .... note Gene clearly sings "I'm IN love", there's been some debate about what he sings during that part. Ace and Paul used to sing something else.

    Happy that the kid got his chance to play.
    Unfortunately, with the band guitarists also playing, it's really hard to tell just how good the kid is.
    Should have been only Gene, the rhythm player, and the drummer playing with the kid.
