"Mr. Make Believe"...

And You Think Criss's Solo Was Bad......
, October 30, 2001Reviewer: David M - See all David M's reviewsYou gotta give credit where credit is due. Simmons made a interesting album. Something that I think was different from the other solo albums. A kindlier and gentlier Gene, if you will, which to some degree is not bad. Its funny to hear some kiss fans take shots at Peter Criss's solo album because it was R&B influenced. I ask you, what kind of Influences does it take to cover WALT DISNEY of all people.

Pro Reviews: Gene Simmons
| EXPERT RATING: From AMG Reviews Most Kiss fans associate Gene Simmons with the band's hardestrocking compositions; after all, he's responsible for such heavies as "Watchin' You," "Calling Dr. Love," "Larger Than Life," and "Goin' Blind." So many Kiss fans must have been surprised when they heard Gene's diverse 1978 solo album, with songs that contained choirs and string arrangements, plus elements of Beatles pop, '70s funk/disco, and feelgood rock roll. Granted, there are a few heavy rockers (such as the single "Radioactive," "Burning Up With Fever," and "See You In Your Dreams"), but Simmons was always a closet Beatles fan, as evidenced by "See You Tonite," "Always Near You," "Man of 1,000 Faces," and "Mr. Make Believe." The only real misstep is a preposterously embarrassing cover of the Disney classic "When You Wish Upon a Star" (complete with Disneyesque sound effects/music). But Simmons made sure that the top artists of the day lent a hand (Aerosmith's Joe Perry, Cheap Trick's Rick Nielsen, Donna Summer, Cher, Bob Seger, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter, Helen Reddy, and Janis Ian), which makes Gene's solo album an unpredictable, yet ultimately enjoyable release. - Greg Prato, All Music Guide |

Gene Simmons Biography
Although Gene Simmons found fame as a blood-spurting, fire-breathing, bass-playing demon with Kiss, his early years were about as far removed as you can possibly get from the notorious heavy metal band. Born August 25, 1949, and named Chaim Witz, he ...Full Gene Simmons Biography

Pros: Gene shows his contributions to KISS
Cons: A new version of See You In Your Dreams
Gene shows off his love of monster movies, women, and fantasy on this solo album.
He gets just about everyone who is anyone in rock music to appear on this album, and tried to get The Beatles to reunite on here; they declined.
Gene's cover of When You Wish Upon A Star is unique; but why did he re-record See You In Your Dreams ?
