Gene Simmons shows his conservative side

[KiwiCoromandel]

Gene Simmons of heavy metal band Kiss has some downright normal ideas about parenting.

Simmons, his partner, actress and former Playboy Playmate Shannon Tweed, and their children - 17-year-old Nick Tweed-Simmons and 14-year-old Sophie Tweed-Simmons - let cameras into their home for a new TV series, Gene Simmons Family Jewels.

"Our responsibility is to protect our kids, supply the money and the structure and the love," Simmons, 56, told the Television Critics Association's summer meeting. "Their job is to do well in school and behave, period. This notion of parents having to go negotiate with their children who just learned to wipe their butts is out of the question."

"The Osbournes" all over again.

yep..good call mate..... :)

I would wager that to be a poor call. Ozzy and Gene are nothing alike. Gene is a businessman, very serious and doesn't have half the demons (no puns intended) that Ozzy does. Besides, Shannon Tweed still rocks. One panty shot of that and you'd be coming back for more.

"Our responsibility is to protect our kids, supply the money and the structure and the love,"

You would never hear Ozzy say that. He might think or believe it, but it would never come right out. While this show might be comical, I don't believe comedy will be its redeeming factor. I think this may be the most accurate portrayal of a rock star's family.

It could go south, somehow, but I think it has potential to do better than The Osbournes.

Apparently Gene Simmons of Kiss has a new reality TV show on A&E, who is looking forward to it and who is hiding under their bed in fear?
