GENE SIMMONS: Arizona Signing Cancelled

October 25, 2008

KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons has cancelled his previously announced signing session at the McFarlane Westgate store in Glendale, Arizona on Thursday, November 6. The signing was to be held in conjunction with the official launch of McFarlane Toys' Guitar Hero action figure.

Commented Simmons: "Todd McFarlane and I have had a wonderful relationship and the KISS action figures his group made, as we all know, rocked. Todd was kind enough to draw the premier issue of 'Gene Simmons House Of Horrors' (Simmons Comics Group/IDW Publishing). And in return, I offered to go to Arizona and do a signing. But a mishap occurred when his well-intentioned staff were brought into this. Though they meant well, things occurred I never saw, nor okayed. One was a release of a press release without my approval. The other was that people had to buy $35 worth of goods in order to get an autograph. Now, while the above may or may not be an issue in and of themselves, the fact that I was never shown any of the details regarding my name and likeness is.

"When Todd and I work one on one. It works. When inbetweeners come into it, it does not."
