Before They Were Stars
HOT GALLERY: Check Out These Hard-Core Rockers Who Settled Down
Rock stars and maniacal masters of metal are supposed to act wild, crazy, and out of control, right? Since the beginning of rock 'n' roll, many stars onstage have had their lives spiral out of control due to too much drinking and/or drugs. However, we rarely hear about many of these talented stars who settle down to care of new families or work with charities and organizations that seem to give them as much joy as playing any stadium. But that's what we're here for! Snakkle has rounded up a few rebellious rockers to see how they’ve tamed the fame beast over time. By Kim Martin

Gene Simmons of Kiss in the 1980s and Now
Who knew the Demon of Kiss loves to sleep in onesies with feet and has never touched drugs in his life? While he may have steered clear of both drink and drugs, despite all those years on the road with the infamous Kiss band, women were definitely an addiction for him. Luckily for Gene, and fans of his reality TV show, he finally kicked all those girls to the curb to marry and commit himself to his true love (and mother of his two grown kids), Shannon Tweed.

Gene doesn’t usually drink beer. But when he does, he adds a little horse semen. Stay thirsty Gene.

I tell you what, people can say what they want about KISS, GENE SIMMONS, but this be true, Gene is one very smart individual, heck he hass over 2,000 patents, that has to say some thing. Take a regular New York City rock band and market it right and play great shows, to becoming the biggest and largest concert selling bands in history,
Rock N Roll All Night And Party Every Day !!!
