Have you ever dreamed of standing in the shadows of rock and roll royalty, shouldering the burdens of the road, hauling gear with the sweat of the truly devoted? Well, for the princely sum of $12,495, you now can.
The Kiss icon himself, Gene Simmons, is offering an exclusive "Personal Assistant and Band Roadie for the Day" experience at his upcoming solo shows. The tour commences on April 3 in Anaheim and, as of now, wraps up May 24 in Houston. Only one such privileged position is available per show.
For your investment, you’ll be granted unprecedented access to the Demon’s domain: meeting him in the morning, assisting with load-in, helping set up for the show, attending soundcheck, and even sharing a meal with Simmons himself.
You won’t go it alone, either—you’re welcome to bring a guest. And your efforts won’t go unnoticed; you’ll be introduced onstage during the show, receive autographed memorabilia, and capture the moment with selfies. Perhaps most enticingly, you’ll take home a Kiss-rehearsal-used bass, signed by Simmons—a tangible memento of your brief but illustrious tenure in the rock and roll trenches.
For those seeking a more budget-conscious brush with greatness, the "Bass Experience" offers a taste of the extravagance at half the cost. Full details on both options can be found at GeneSimmonsAxe.com, where potential participants are reassured that Simmons is “very down-to-earth, funny, and knowledgeable on almost any subject.”
One important caveat: show tickets are sold separately and are not included in the package.
