Publisher's summary

The legendary rocker Gene Simmons has a message—or two—for you: Don't live a boring life! Being rich is better than being poor!

Exhibiting an abiding faith in himself and an ability to think outside the traditional parameters of ethics, religion, rituals, and social mores, rock legend and Kiss founding member Simmons offers his no-holds-barred life philosophy. In this revealing and funny guide, Simmons recounts his rise from an immigrant boy who did not speak English until his teens and paid for college buying and selling old comic books, to his music, recording, acting, and publishing successes. Not only does Gene outline how he achieved both money and happiness, he tells listeners how they can, too!

On my third listen...

Awesome read. Honest. Respectable. As true as one can be with their view.

So much insight. Had to listen again.

Enjoy!

Gene's somewhat full of himself which amuses me.

Great narration by Gene himself, but a little repetitious at times. I definitely recommend. 🎸👅🤘

Best to listen at fastest speed possible.

I like to get straight to the points I need to learn. Since topics were various I liked listening at the fastest speed I can handle to get to the Gold I was looking for. Great book overall. That's why I bought it 3 times (2 books/1audio).

Oddly Enough: A great marketing book

I heard about this from a podcast on being a creative artist. Their current topic was on promoting yourself and tooting your own horn. They recomended this book. I enjoyed most of it. Plus the perspective of keeping it on the straight and narrow leads to less problems and more money. Along with ways to promote yourself. I may not be a rocker, but I will deffinately use these ideas in my graphics career.

Interesting

Gene Simmons was so clear in sharing the successes and failures along with good ideas.

Honest

A good book to make you think. A bit of a business book ironically. I truly enjoyed the book.

To summarize: Money will get you everything

To summarize his modus operandi - money is the answer to everything you want. Gene saw the power that money provides early on in life and that's clearly been his main, if not only goal in life. He shows a down to earth side to his personality in this audiobook. However authentic that side of his personality is I'm not so sure. I've met him a couple times, and by connecting with him in real life in those intimate situations I was very discomforted by his disturbing and unsavory demeanor. None of that is apparent in this book though. Throughout the book he tells some very interesting and enjoyable stories. As much as I do not like his real life personality, I found this book surprisingly enjoyable to listen to. Despite his being a total ass in real life, I must give his book top stars because its a very good book and his narration is top notch.

Not worth buying...

As an old Kiss fan, I enjoyed Kiss & Make Up... but this was pretty much painful. Here is a summary of his Guidance.
1. Careful who you marry, it will cost you money.
2. Work Seven days a week and don't waste your time watching sports and drinking beer.
3. Be cheap
4. Do what you are passionate about but have a backup plan
5. If at first you don't succeed, try ,try again
6. Don't do drugs or Alcohol

These lessons are interstrewn with the occasional kiss memory..
This is just basically a cash grab..

Genes a hypocrite

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

It was a good listener but Gene such a hypocrite / hypocrite says too never get married over and over and pushes that hard then he dose.. I wish I could sue them for slander.

What do you think your next listen will be?

Something interesting

Would you be willing to try another one of Gene Simmons’s performances?

I've checked out most of his books but now I think he is just a hypocrite I really wish I could sue him for is pushing non marriage and crap and how he is a big'0 ladies man but how monogamous he's been since he's met Shannon and then when he gets caught cheating he breaks down and gets married after he so against it in all of his books. He such a hypocrite hypocrite hypocrite .

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Sex Money Kiss?

Probably all his hypocritical bullshit about marriage .

Any additional comments?

I think you're a big Puss Gene .........
