I like his show. While I think some of it is a bit scripted, overall he and his family come across as nice, down to earth people.
While I'm not a huge fan of Kiss' music, I gained much admiration of Simmons when he sent a get-well message to an Israeli soldier who was wounded in last year's war in southern Lebanon. Simmons made a video in which he told the soldier what a hero he was and then added in Hebrew.."My name is Chaim, I was born in Haifa" For those that don't know, Simmons was born Chaim Witz in Haifa, Israel.
Alot of folks when they get famous choose to forget where they come from, but obviously he did not.
In my opinion that makes him one heck of a stand up guy.
