Gene Simmons - Is this guy for real?

[WazzaVN]

Gene Simmons of KISS tells depressed people to ‘kill themselves’, cops Triple M ban | News.com.au

“No, I don’t get along with anybody who’s a drug addict and has a dark cloud over their head and sees themselves as a victim. Drug addicts and alcoholics are always: ‘The world is a harsh place.’ My mother was in a concentration camp in Nazi Germany. I don’t want to hear #### all about ‘the world as a harsh place.’ She gets up every day, smells the roses and loves life. And for a putz, 20-year-old kid to say, ‘I’m depressed, I live in Seattle.” #### you, then kill yourself,”

“I always call them on their bluff. I’m the guy who says ‘Jump!’ when there’s a guy on top of a building who says, ‘That’s it, I can’t take it anymore, I’m going to jump.’ Are you kidding? Why are you announcing it? Shut the f**k up, have some dignity and jump! You’ve got the crowd,”

I always knew Gene Simmons was an arse hole but I can't believe what i read this morning.

I'm so sick of people like Gene Simmons. The guy feels so strongly about this subject, but clearly hasn't done any real research on it and is too much of an arrogant #### To realise that not everyone see's reality from his point of view. And the worst part is he has the ability to spread his uneducated opinion to the world.

People admire Gene, people are going to take this backward view on board. It's a real shame for great people from organizations like beyond blue working hard to raise awareness for mental illness. it's like spitting in their faces.

Simmons comes across as a very self centered immature person.

I kinda get his point but has worded it like a real dick head.
Some people really do have depression and need help, also come across a few people who think they are the only ones to ever have a problem in their life.
See tripple m have removed all KISS songs from their play lists

I'd would say that Gene Simmons , is trying get some publicity for a dead ( no pun intended ) career , by making that statement , still a ####wit , thing to say though .

Enough with the Jewish holocaust already Gene!

Ancestry has #### all to do with depression, religious philosophy and racial views may however have an anecdotal correlation.

Put the kibosh on your mum's propaganda, you outspoken, anachronistic nutbag. I liked your music as a kid when I didn't know better but in retrospect you and Paul are disgusting racist freaks.

Why don't you both use your fame and recognition to mediate and diffuse some of the global condemnation surrounding Israel's ongoing atrocities against humanity - instead of figuratively blowing apart your once loyal army by spreading naîve views on mental health and unwanted religious crap.

You think a dude who used to put make up on and scream into a mic would say something smart?

He is a smart businessman.
But an all-round sphincter-between-buttocks.
