Gene Simmons has revealed why he refuses to allow Vinnie Vincent to reunite with KISS despite the former member’s continued overtures. Speaking with the Aquarian, Simmons revealed that he’s still a huge Vincent fan, but he carries too much baggage. “He’s a very talented guy,” Simmons told The Aquarian. “Everybody’s got their troubles in life. You can’t fix everything. I’m a big supporter of his talent – you know, go with God, enjoy life, be happy. But I don’t need more dark clouds over my life.” He also says that KISS has been in a great groove with their current lineup: “Eric and Tommy have been with us for a very long time, and it’s professional to the highest degree. Everybody is happy to be together. Everybody shows up on time – there’s no, ‘the dog ate my homework.’ None of that crap.” He also suspects Vincent of continued substance abuse: “When you use drugs and alcohol and other bulls— things, it’s everybody else’s fault. You’re always the victim. You never take charge of your situation – and I’m sick of it. I don’t tolerate any of that. I won’t have any of those losers around in my life.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
