Gene Simmons Is Going To Lick Up Some Canadian Bands For The Purposes Of Profit [The New Model]
Gene Simmons was scratching his head over how to make money off recorded music in late 2007, but in 2009, he's figured out a plan: Embrace the idea of Canadian content wholeheartedly. No, really: The Kiss bassist has launched Simmons Records, a label that will "make sure that the next generation of world stars [emanates] from Canada." And nowhere else! (At least not yet.) It's an intriguing proposition, for sure, as our neighbors to the north have had many an artist who's been crazy famous in his homeland b

Well, a year, a sex tape, a floated reality-show pitch, and an essay contest have apparently caused a perfect storm for him to change his mind, since his band, Kiss, is getting ready to head back in the studio—with an album produce
