Gene Simmons wants Lady Gaga to join his band Kiss. The bass player is a huge fan of the flamboyant singer, and says she reminds him of himself when he was younger. Kiss are famed for their outrageous stage shows and for covering their faces in black and white make-up. Simmons insists they are the trailblazers of Gaga's look. She is renowned for her outlandish dress sense, often donning underwear for an evening out and wearing skin-tight lace veils to cover her face. "She's not Lady Gaga, she's really Lady Kiss," Gene said. "I love the vibe, the big mouth and the big visuals. She's the most exciting thing to happen since us. She's a female version of us." Gene, 60, explained the key to becoming a successful artist is understanding the part fans play in your career. He claims many new stars aren't interested in making those who look up to them happy, which is a huge mistake. "One of the first things we learned was to treat the audience as the guv'nor. When they buy a ticket they become your boss. We just work here," he told British newspaper The Daily Star. "She realises that her fans deserve the best you got because they pay your wages." Kiss are currently performing a series of arena shows in the UK. Gene is excited about taking to the stage, saying it marks a new period in the group's career. Original members Ace Frehley and Peter Criss have now left, with Gene saying their "negative influence" held the band back.
