I didn't say I LIKED Gene Simmons lol. And I don't even want to think about where that tongue has been. But I do think he has a more interesting look than the other guys in the band - more kabuki and less mime. I always thought the band was mostly targeted at 13 year old boys as their fan base.
I DO like System of a Down. Not to look at, because they don't have visual appeal. But I love the wild intelligent weirdness of their music. I always say that Toxicity is a song about Shodu. The word 'disorder' certainly applies to her, and she does eat seeds as a pastime activity. Plus I like to call the cockatiels "toods", and it's really easy to change the song title to Toodicity.
