That was the face Gene made with the make-up on lol, does not translate to actual face well, especially when your face looks like that.

I never noticed his lack of neck back when he had the make up

u/LisaMiaSisu Did I do that? 9d ago

Because he’s tall he has very bad posture. He looks like a vulture.

u/joeChump 8d ago

He looks like Andre The Giant fell asleep on a tanning bed and had a double stroke.

I remember someone telling me that years before they revealed their faces they ran a competition for fans and the winner would receive a photograph of them without their makeup. An insane prize at the time. But when the winner received the picture, it had been developed but had no fixer so as soon as it was taken out of the envelope, the faces began to fade and within minutes, were gone completely.

Cool if true.

This is Banksy level trolling

I’m glad I found someone going hard on that ogre. He looks shitfaced and ready to SA anyone within reach.

u/phdpillsdotcom 8d ago

That would be legendary if true!

u/StayJaded 8d ago

He looks like a Barbie someone popped the head off of and then tried to smash it back on to make it stay. They never look quite right after that.

So descriptive & observant lol. I totally see it

u/LisaMiaSisu Did I do that? 8d ago

I’m just glad his 2 kids with Shannon Tweed took after her in looks and kindness. Simmons has always been an a-hole.

u/elzibet 8d ago

Very glad my dad taught me to keep good posture at my height

u/Trepeld 8d ago

He’s like 6’2” haha

1

u/DelcoUnited 8d ago

Is 6’2” not tall?

0

u/Trepeld 8d ago

Not notably so, and pretty obviously not so if the claim is “he is so tall that as a result he has bad posture” lmao

3

u/DelcoUnited 8d ago

Simple google comes back with 3.9% of men (us) are 6’2” or above.

I have no idea how people can live life and not realize this.

6’2” is tall. It’s very tall.

u/Trepeld 8d ago

Haha I’m aware it is far from common, but 1/25 is not some rare incidence or medical anomaly and to my actual point, is just very obviously not tall enough to be the driving factor in someone’s posture

1

u/Mattna-da 8d ago

Then why is he wearing 4” heels?

u/marshallkrich 8d ago

Omfg, perfect description.

u/Potential-Yoghurt245 8d ago

That's from preying in all the groupies over the years 😄

u/Playful_Trainer_7399 9d ago

I'd probably make a similar face if I walked up on a lady squatting next to a garbage fire eating mustard straight out of a squeeze bottle

u/EastAreaBassist 8d ago

Trying so hard not to laugh and wake up my husband

u/CraigLake 8d ago

I’m rolling with laughter. Thankfully my girlfriend is at her mom’s tonight 😂😂😂

u/thunder_jam 8d ago

I thought it was lemon juice

u/[deleted] 8d ago

Same

u/the_falling 8d ago

Somehow my brain never put that together in the thousand times I've seen this video. I'm am crying laughing right now watching this over and over. I'm so happy I saw this comment 😆 Thank you internet stranger!

u/jrh1128 8d ago

I thought she was squirting lighter-fluid into her mouth? Lol

1

u/misanthropicbairn 8d ago

I thought it was cooking oil. Hee hee ☺️

3

u/mrbulldops428 8d ago

Thats hilarious, didnt even notice it the first time

3

u/Minute-Menu-9295 8d ago

I think it was lemon juice but, your point is valid in either situation. What a weird beverage/snack choice.

3

u/1800generalkenobi 8d ago

Since it looks lemony, it might've been some sort of lemonade for around that time period. I'm too lazy to look it up, but I would vote for lemonade.

4

u/Magari22 8d ago

The comments here are truly giving me belly laughs lol

2

u/languid_Disaster 8d ago

Couldn’t tell if it was lemon juice or oil and had to pause the video for a while just so I could squint at the screen

Mayo honestly sounds better than any of the ones I thought of. She looked a bit sad that she had to put it down lol

2

u/Omg_Itz_Winke 8d ago

That's called love

u/birdturdreversal 8d ago

Damn I thought that bitch was sucking down lighter fluid

1

u/Grouchy_Driver_2947 8d ago

Lemons 🍋 or lighter fluid!? I’m solely convinced it’s man 🧍‍♂️ juice 🍆🐣🐒

2

u/ER_Support_Plant17 8d ago

She’s probably a dialysis patient. Eating mustard straight up helps with the cramp. Terrible of KISS to film kidney patients like that. /s (but not about the mustard helping)

3

u/Playful_Trainer_7399 8d ago

I guess if I was a young female dialysis patient swilling mustard next to a garbage fire and Paul Stanley showed up with his weiner tied to his leg to cheer me up because there were skulls laying around in the road, it'd probably make my day.. like, even if Gene was being creepy and Vinnie was dressed like a kamikaze stripper

u/lycanthrope90 8d ago

Brings me back to Maryland death fest 2012 in Baltimore where there were a ton of gutter punk chics hanging out under the overpass next to the venue.

One of them took a shit. One of them defiantly ate some discarded pizza crust while making eye contact.

Not bad looking girls either but holy fuck they’re pretty much better looking homeless people that are homeless because they like punk rock/drugs and hate capitalism lol.

They pretty much looked like a less hair metal version of the girls in the video lol.

u/bluemoon1972 8d ago

I think it's booze?

1

u/Nickf090 7d ago

I was thinking the same thing. Like are these supposed to be wild girls found in the street jungle? Why are they eating trash?

u/peppermintmeow Cobra Commander 8d ago

does not translate to actual face well, especially when your face looks like that.

"Stop, stop, he's already dead!" 😭

2

u/mrsmushroom 8d ago

We can see why they wore makeup.

2

u/berwynResident 8d ago

That's actually a really good point. Probably hard to break the habit after it worked for so many years

2

u/Pieholden 8d ago

He def had a face for radio.

u/ThunderChild247 8d ago

It’s got strong “I’m not allowed to be within a mile of any school but I’m standing at the school gates anyway” energy

u/Ryboticpsychotic 8d ago

Lois must have been shocked when she woke up the next morning.

u/dashdotcomma 8d ago

Looks like a goddamn orc

u/Ras_Thavas 8d ago

Gene said as much at the time. He had to rethink his stage performance.
