Tom Snyder: KISS, Part 1 of 2
Perhaps the most outrageous interview seen on Snyder's show occurred on Halloween 1979, when the rock band KISS appeared to promote their album, Dynasty.
During that 25-minute "interview", the conversation degenerated into a somewhat chaotic exchange between Snyder and a very drunk Ace Frehley, who picked up a teddy bear left behind by another guest, put the armbands from his costume on the bear, and laughed, "the only Spacebear in captivity! I've got him — he's captured!".
When Snyder asked Ace if his costume was that of some sort of spaceman, Frehley quipped, "Actually I'm a plumber." Snyder shot back, "If that's the case then I've got some pipe you can work on backstage." The inebriated Frehley clapped his hands and cackled hysterically at the exchange.
Years later, Gene Simmons revealed on his website that he felt "betrayed" by the other band members during this interview.
Shortly thereafter, drummer Peter Criss officially left the band and subsequently appeared on the show, making Snyder the first host to have a member of KISS appearing without makeup in public.

So Gene was the the mother of the other three, and took some bullshit personally and to stewed over it for 20 years? Sounds like they should worked a skirt into that costume of his.
Who would have thought a guy in sequins, big hair, big boots, leather, vinyl and tons of makeup was a pussy under all that?
Huh.
