Ahead of Independence Day in the US, Gene Simmons has voiced his views on patriotism, America's place in the world, and why he believes the country has a problem with illegal immigration.
Kiss' vocalist/bassist shared his opinions during a set with his solo band at Summerfest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin on July 3, ahead of celebrations for the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
“In case you don’t know it, you are blessed," Simmons told the crowd, as transcribed by Blabbermouth. "You are living in the greatest fucking country on the planet. And that’s called USA. Okay, I wanna tell you why I took a minute to talk about America, because if you’ve been asleep the last 250 years, tomorrow is America’s 250th birthday.
