Gene the Demon is on fire this week, kicking off 2026 with a solo show bang at LAuberge Casino Resort in Lake Charles Saturday night, February 20th, where WP DH reports he debuted two Ace Frehley penned Kiss classics live for the very first time ever Strange Ways and Rocket Ride, co written by Sean Delaney. Picture this: Simmons and his killer band tore through a 14 song set including Deuce, Cold Gin, and Parasite, all Frehley faves, honoring the late guitarist who passed October 16th after Kiss cofounding glory. Kiss never played Rocket Ride live before, but Ace made it his solo staple ooh, the drama. Its only their second gig since Aces death, and Chaoszine notes this launches a quick February tour with three more dates, including Rock Legends Cruise XIII. Fans are buzzing, clips of those debuts are blowing up online.

But hold onto your platforms, Gene stirred the pot earlier this month with his Rock and Roll Hall of Fame rants, doubling down on X February 14th per American Songwriter, tweeting When will Led Zeppelin and NWA hit the Country Hall, or Garth Brooks and AC DC the Hip Hop one? I stand by my words. He defended his ghetto remark from the Legends N Leaders pod, telling People its a Jewish term, rock owes Black music everything, but hip hops not rock n roll. Backlash hit hard Chuck D of Public Enemy slammed him to TMZ as a rock god lacking roll, while RHCP Chad Smith shrugged Yeah of course rap belongs. Alternative Nation caught Gene citing Chuck Berry and Ray Charles to win the argument. Mens Journal spilled hes booked for Summerfest 2026 too. No fresh headlines in the last 24 hours, but this tours biographical gold, cementing his post Kiss empire.
