I remember numbers 1 and 2. I also heard Ace wore weighted boots. But the rumor that really got my attention back then was the Knights In Satan's Service bullshit. Back in the 70's and early 80's I was attending Bible College and there was a preacher in Denver by the name of Bob Larson. I went to one of Bob's rally's in 1980 or so, interesting man. Anyway he was a big part of the Knights In Satan's Service crap and he interviewed Gene and Paul. Mr Larson asked Gene what religion he was and Gene explained that he is Jewish. Mr Larson then said "well don't you know if you don't believe in Jesus you will go to Hell?" Gene, answered and said "Jesus was a Jew, I win"

Classic Simmons but the rumors of KISS being Satanic remained, to the point they were banned from performing in some cities! I think the whole thing is pretty damn funny and just goes to show how people judge a book by its cover!

I REMEMBER BOB LARSON'S SHOW'S VERY WELL, I HAVE HEARD MANY OF THEM...
IN SOUTHERN CALIF THEIR WAS A SERIES OF TAPES FROM FIREFIGHTERS FOR CHRIST
AND A SEGMENT CALLED ROCK A BYE BABY PT 1 & 2 WERE ABOUT ROCK MUSIC AND BACKWARD
MASKING ETC, I DON'T REMEMBER IF THEY WERE BOB LARSONS SHOW OR NOT...
BUT THEY ATTACKED GOD OF THUNDER, SAYING THAT IF YOU LISTEN CLOSE YOU
CAN HEAR THE KIDS SCREAMING, NO I DON'T WANT TO GO TO THAT PLACE, I DON'T WANT
TO GO TO THAT PLACE (THAT PLACE WAS HELL IN HIS EYES), FACT IS THAT IS NOT WHAT TEH KIDS WERE SAYING... HE SAID GENE SIMMONS LONG TONGUE IS A SYMBOL OF DEMON WORSHIPPING, HE SAID HIS CHAINS ARE DEMONIC BECAUSE THEY REPRESENT S&M, THE SAME WITH THE CHAINS ON PAUL'S BOOTS...
HE REFERENCED ACE FREHLEY, ONLY BY SAYING THAT IS ACE FREHLEY, YOU SAW HIM DANCING EARLY...
I WAS ACCUSED OF BEING A SATAN WORSHIPPER WHEN I WAS 14, BECAUSE I WAS WEARING A KISS SHIRT, THIS GIRL I LIKED HER FAMILY ARE CHRISTIAN MISSIONARIES, AND HER MOM LET ME HAVE IT...

GENE HAS BEEN WEARING A WIG ON AND OFF FOR YEARS, AND SO HAS PAUL...
LOOK BACK AS EARLY AS PSYCHO CIRCUS, PAUL WAS WEARING A WIG ON THAT TOUR AND
THE FAREWELL TOUR, AND MANY TOURS AFTER THAT... LOOK AT HOW SHORT AND KEPT
PAUL'S HAIR IS ON KISSTERIA, AND HOW BIG HIS HAIR IS WHEN ONSTAGE, IT'S A WIG...
GENE HAS BEEN WEARING A WIG SINCE 1984...
GENE'S HAIR IS IN BAD SHAPE, HE HAS BEEN GETTING A LOT OF FLACK FOR IT, AND HE JUST
DOESN'T HAVE ENOUGH HAIR ON TOP FOR THE TREE TOP HE DOES...
GENE & SHANNON ARE IN THE ESCALADE AND SHE PULL'S OFF HIS HAIR AND HE IS BALD...
GENE SAY'S IT WAS DONE AS A PUBLICITY STUNT, AND THAT IT IS A BALD CAP...
LOOK AT HOW THIN ACE'S HAIR IS, AND LOOK AT HOW FULL IT WAS FROM
REUNIION TOUR - FAREWELL, I THINK HIS WAS A WIG TOO...
LOOK AT HOW SHORT PETER'S HAIR IS ON UNPLUGGED, THEN HOW LONG IT IS STARTING WITH HIS FIRST KISS APPEARANCE, WIG...
I SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM WEARING WIGS, THEY DON'T HAVE THE HAIR THEY
HAD IN THE 70'S...

Not a wild and crazy rumor but I remember hearing way back that Ace's mom's phone number got out and fans would call her looking for Ace. She would always talk to the fans on the phone and really enjoyed it.
