Gene Simmons, Kurt Cobain. Did you ever meet him at all?
GS: Kurt and I spoke before he died, but we never met. But he did cover, Nirvana did cover "Do You Love Me?" on a KISS tribute record, but that's as much as I know.
I heard that you didn't actually speak to him, that it was Steve Albini pretending to be him. Do you have any verification that it really was Kurt?
GS: No, but it doesn't matter.
'Cause I heard that him and Steve were teasing you about doing a duet with you or something like that.
GS: Yes, I was calling around to every group in the world putting together a KISS tribute album called KISS My Ass, and called Madonna's manager, and everybody's manager. And at the end of the day we got, I got Garth Brooks, Lenny Kravitz and Stevie Wonder on one track, members of Rage Against the Machine, lots of other bands covering stuff on the record, and I absolutely called Nirvana as one of the bands, but if it was Albini or some other guy, so what?
