Well this day didn’t exactly turn out how I would have liked. We were off to meet one of the greatest rock showmen in history - Mr. Gene Simmons of KISS fame. But there was just something that Mr. Simmons didn’t like. Could it be the camera? Surprising considering the vast array of reality programming that Mr. Simmons lends his talents too. So why not KayvonTV.com?
I got a very different reaction recently when I met another rock god - Mr. Rob Halford of Judas Priest. That episode was a very different experience for me.

LOL…Why was Gene Simmons acting so foolish for? Didn’t he know that you were Kayvon and this is YOUR planet!!
July 17th, 2007 at 12:54 am
Hello Kayvon how is it going, I honestly think that Gene Simmons should have taken that photo with you. Why wouldn’t he take the photo cause the camera was on. Regardless you are the fan & it is so right that the celeberty should take a photo it is only right wouldn’t you agree.
July 17th, 2007 at 1:35 am
Hhaha, this is hilarious, maybe Gene doesn’t want to be seen out of the demon make-up??? Kayvon keep up the good work your show is one of the best on the web, much respect.
July 17th, 2007 at 5:42 pm
i do not know why gene would act in such a way. it is after all his fans who make him who he is has he forgotton this
July 17th, 2007 at 5:55 pm
He had every right to deny you a photo op. You’re lucky that’s all he did. If that was me in his position I probably would have busted your camera and face. In your fan crazed tizzy you might not have realized that he looked kinda busy? Perhaps he didn’t have the time to deal with a fan chasing him around with a camera? Just because he’s famous and you like him doesn’t mean he’s required to like you.
July 17th, 2007 at 6:30 pm
Jen is right! He did not have to take the photo. HE WAS VERY BUSY, walking through a mall…doing nothing, on his way to his most favorite fan…HIMSELF.
Jen has no thought process, and Gene Simmons is a douche. He deserves to stick that tongue out like the yellow pages, reach out and touch someone with it.
If it was not for “HIS FANS”, he would still be the same Chaim Witz - his real name, being born Israeli, and an immigrant to U.S.A., the country who gave him all the opportunity, his parents knew he would not have had there. He looks fans in the face, as if they owe him something.
They do! A swift kick in the ass, for being the biggest Douche in the world. He has too much money for a Douche, and has too much fame for a Douche, and apparently he had sex with more girls than Wilt Chamberlin.
WOW!!! Big feat! I should say, big tongue, that is how he impressed the fans. Not his music, because it is apparently Douche music.
Well Chaim, I think that not only should you reach out and touch someone, like Kayvon, but you should reach out and choke yourself.
KISS this you stupid Douche
July 17th, 2007 at 8:46 pm
Gene is a businessman,
How is he to know that this would not be used in some stint to make money using his image. He had every right to deny the picture. He has said that money is the only real thing, besides his family that he cares about. Your free to judge him on that.

Gene Simmons is a complete and total douche, he should have taken his photo with the kid. I see a picture below of Bono, who is 30 times the muscian that Gene is, posing with Kayvon, gee I wonder why Bono didn’t have to hide? Gene, thanks for giving me another reason to really, really dislike you,
July 18th, 2007 at 2:52 am
Kayvon you rule man!! Don’t worry ’bout assholes like Gene Simmons, you have more talent in your left pinkie then he has in his entire body!!
Kayvon dude, I have always been a fan of your work on MTV and the JR Diggs show, it is great to see you finally get your own show!! I’ll be watching….
July 18th, 2007 at 9:40 am
The 10 last seconds were funny (while you were hidding behind your jacket), but seeing Gene Simmons hidding was a lot more funnier!!
July 18th, 2007 at 9:15 pm
HA HA….I loved the whole video, what in the hell was Gene thinking?. Gene Simmons sucked!!! Kayvon, you rule for real. I loved the whole video, can’t wait for you show to get on MTV!!…Big fan
July 19th, 2007 at 3:19 am
Why wouldn’t you have just taken the photo with the kid? ?? Why Gene?? Why??
July 19th, 2007 at 8:44 am
I think that Gene Simmons was very rude to you, first he said he would take a picture, then a second later, he said no.
What an A-@#$%.
Cheers, Lisa
July 19th, 2007 at 12:57 pm
Gene Rocks n concerts! He’s just just shy because he doesnt wear any make-up at all! maybe he forgot to put lip gloss! lol! Kayvon Ur Greatest, man!
July 19th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
yes no yes no
July 19th, 2007 at 4:02 pm
Hi Kayvon!!
How are ya buddy? Sorry I haven’t been around much but I am just getting things settled down over here in North Vancouver BC.Well I think Gene wasn’t very nice ,I am sure he had his reasons too.STill not an excuse though.I’ll tell ya what though,I am not as well known as Gene Simmons but if you are ever in North Vancouver BC I’ll let ya do an interview with me if ya want.I am a background actor who has worked on alot of Feature film and Tv shows,and I am also a musician too.Give me a call and we’ll have a blast!!Hope to hear from you soon!!

In Gene’s defense, we need to know the date that this video was taken. Rod Stewart played Rochester May 9th. According to the video this was the day after. I’m not sure of the air date of the face reveal episode, but the timing is close. Gene could have still been under contract not to allow pictures of him to be taken until after the Family Jewels episode aired showing the results of his surgery. As with all the Reality TV stuff, the cliffhanger reveals are worth a lot of money. Survivor and Bachelor contestants sign contracts including multi-million dollar fines if they reveal the ending. Gene, I’m sure, is under the same obligation.
July 19th, 2007 at 8:44 pm
Hi Kayvon,
I have watched a few of his reality tv shows and my impression of him was that he was a real cool guy, a nice and down to earth person. But, having seen your video, I am changing my opinion of him. There is no reason (however busy he might have been, or in a bad mood, or whatever) for him to say yes and then change his mind. I guess fans don’t mean much to him and he’s just too busy getting a nose job.
Keep up the good work, my friend!
July 19th, 2007 at 9:19 pm
hello there Kayvon,
interesting, very interesting.
July 19th, 2007 at 10:11 pm
LOL. Love it Kayvon! I’m well. You look good. You just have to accept some girls don’t like to be seen without their make up on. Keep making laughs!
July 19th, 2007 at 10:41 pm
Dude - Give Gene a break. First off - from what I saw, he never agreed. Rich Abrhamson agreed. I never saw or heard Gene saw you could take his picture. In fact, you can hear Rich trying to coax him (…”just trying to be nice”…” Secondly, you ambushed him in a mall with the camera rolling and got in his face. You compare the experience to your meeting with Halford (All Hail the Metal God!!) who you met at an event where he was already signing autographs AND the camera was several feet away. No surprise you got a better reaction. (Not a nice comment about his orientation by the way!)
July 20th, 2007 at 12:23 pm
Hey Kayvon.
At least you stayed cool about it…good on ya!
Cheers!
July 20th, 2007 at 12:41 pm
Well, well, well… I don’t know what to think about Mr. Simmons… But, you stayed cool. Nice…
July 20th, 2007 at 3:50 pm
You should show more cleavage next time and just might take a picture with you then. He’s not worth your time. Loved the video!
peace
July 20th, 2007 at 7:06 pm
hey K. nice video. I’ve seen u around here nice to have u as a friend. send more talk to u soon! kkkkoolaid.
July 20th, 2007 at 10:26 pm
Hey sweetie! You did well..must say though, I thought Gene was a better guy then that.
Keep em coming hun!!
July 21st, 2007 at 4:31 pm
Strange, very strange. But entertaining, too. Should be on TV.
July 21st, 2007 at 10:50 pm
Gene needs to hire an image consultant. Every opportunity to look like a regular guy and be decent he instead shits on everyone.
July 22nd, 2007 at 5:27 pm
I think Gene Simmon’s is the Man!But can he be RUDE?All’s Kayvon T.V.,was tryng to do is take A pic of Gene Simmon’s with his tonque,&gene could hav at least talk,instead he had to be an A_hole&cover hisself up!I think it all had to do with MONEY,,GENE SIMMON’S DON’T DO ANYTHING UNLESS HE GET’S PAID!How do you EXSPECT TO KEEP YOUR FAN’S Mr.Simmon’s,Pretty SOON PEEP’S will forget all about you,if you keep that behavior up!Now comeon&show us sum action!SING,DO SUMTHIN!
July 23rd, 2007 at 3:48 am
LOL, maybe if you busted out those dance moves like in the intro, Gene would’ve paid more attention.
I think I liked the intro better than seeing Simmons, at least the intro had nice shoes, dancin, and spooked subway folk. That Queen n King rant was pretty good too.
Cool show!
July 24th, 2007 at 6:27 am
What a joke… you had a video camera… if you had just been by yourself he might have been more obliging, and as said above, perhaps it was around the time of the face lift reveal… He wasn’t rude to you, he just didn’t want his picture taken. He could have told you to f#@k off but he didn’t, he just asked not to be photographed, I am sure there was a reason!! Get over it and move on.
July 25th, 2007 at 1:46 am
amazing vids, man, i watched them all while i was bored…. Cheers mate!
August 1st, 2007 at 12:23 am
Wow, call the cops this crazy Kavyon is a stalker!
August 1st, 2007 at 9:24 pm
I really enjoyed this video guys very well done, hmmm gene is quite the asshole. I’v seen you around Kayvon and I used to enjoy your stuff on JR Diggs, but this stuff is 10 times funnier.
Luv ya
Rosie
August 3rd, 2007 at 8:29 pm
nicely done! bravo!
August 7th, 2007 at 3:30 am
I am a musician and if it wasnt for fans you wouldnt be a star. It is a must to show fans your appreciation no matter how busy you are, and taking 3 minutes out of your time to speak/take pic with fan. thats all there is to say……..Rock And Roll!!
August 8th, 2007 at 3:13 am
Hmmm..maybe Mr. Simmons had a big ol’ pimple that he hadn’t popped yet and that’s why he didn’t want his picture taken. Just sayin’. *Wink wink*
August 9th, 2007 at 3:34 am
Gene Simmons forgets he would be a fuckin nobody if it weren’t for the fans,,,,
I guess he just wanted money,we know thats all he cares about,
What the Hell does the Hottest woman(Shannon) in america see in him????
come on really….
anywayz you rock
August 9th, 2007 at 11:45 am
Gene Gene roses are red and who is this K fed dude anyways.? Gene can do as he pleases and if you want a photo ask the manager for it . we already know who Gene is . Maybe he had gas or needed to scratch or maybe 10,000 fans asking for his picture is getting to him .
August 13th, 2007 at 1:37 am
What a prick Gene Simmons is! There was no one else around and the kid only wanted a photo. I’m done watching this jerk’s TV show and buying KISS merch. Don’t let it get you down Kayvon. This guy is just a nasty asshole.
August 15th, 2007 at 3:32 am
i’m surprise mr simmons was being shy he’s never shy in front of the cameras
August 15th, 2007 at 3:34 am
but you still gotta love him! HE’S MR. GENE SIMMONS!!!!
August 15th, 2007 at 11:26 am
I used to watch Gene Simmons Family Jewels until the novelty wore off.
He is very money hungry but notice he doesnt say anything about what charity or third world country he is helping ???
I also think if you didnt have the camera rolling he would have been cooler, he probably thought you were going to screw his image or edit the film or sound to say” i shaved my family jewels”,
fuck him bro, just keep doin what your doin but be cool about it and dont mess with the sound or film and people will recognize that they can stop and give you an interview.
August 15th, 2007 at 12:20 pm
yeah, pure money hungery ungrateful crap. like u cant download a million pics for free of gene on the internet…give me a break. there is no image to protect, its EVERYWHERE…and if gene doesnt like people following him while he is shopping then, why the reality show, where you can see their whole dam life????!!! you cant have it both ways, now can you?
if he just kept that makeup on, there wouldnt be this problem, lol….
cheers kayvon, i love what you are doing. bring em all down to human level. !!
xo,
v
August 15th, 2007 at 1:38 pm
Gene Simmons is a complete and total asshole, he is worth so much money plus he is married to Shannon Tweed, he should try to be nicer to his fans. I am done watching Family Jewels as well, I can’t stand Gene Simmons and his pompus way of carrying his self.
August 15th, 2007 at 10:50 pm
Hi Kayvon,
I guess the camera pissed him off. Im sure if the camera was’nt present he would have taken the photo. great try!!! Love your show.
Peace
L.A.
August 16th, 2007 at 3:17 am
I need to ask you Kayvon, at what point did you get the impression Gene Simmons ever was a genuinley cool guy? You were right about one thing, he always was overrated! This guy has gotten so much pussy so easily for so long, his social skills became recessive. The same way our small toe will slowly disappears with each generation! Great work btw, enjoy your stuff.
Cheers
August 16th, 2007 at 11:28 am
Hmmmm…..dumbass video if’n ya ask me…:)
Don’t listen to Kiss or watch Gene SImmons reality stuff so I guess I don’t really care whether he allowed you to take his photo or not. Guy’s allowerd to change his mind isn’t he? Maybe yur just not one his favorite fans. Nuff said.
Peace…:)
August 16th, 2007 at 12:34 pm
i nolike that guy for some reazon and i nolike him at all:)
August 17th, 2007 at 6:31 am
take off this mustache and the white shoes and try again ,
August 17th, 2007 at 8:47 am
Simple math: He didn’t want to be associated with you.
August 18th, 2007 at 7:37 pm
Damn rockstars! Like rock, but not the stars.
August 20th, 2007 at 1:00 pm
KISS IS GOOD
However, since the first episode of Family Jewels I saw, I see Simmons and three words ALWAYS come to mind.
BURN IN HELL
Ya know what I mean. Ignorant ass. He could take a lesson from someone like the Game, or even you. I bet you got time for your fans, but it’s all about the money.
No one entertains to entertain anymore. 99% entertain to get rich.
Keep up the good work man.
August 23rd, 2007 at 8:38 am
lmao
August 23rd, 2007 at 4:12 pm
Hi i think Gene is right, well he never said yes i’m going to take the pic.
Maybe in a autograph session he can do it but if somebody appears from somewhere and cames with a cam, don’t you getting mad?
Anyway it’s a good video hehe keep trying and try to interview to Mr. Paul Stanley
August 29th, 2007 at 12:58 pm
you don’t owe him an apology. He acts like an ass and should be thought of as such!
September 4th, 2007 at 10:04 pm
If you had him offered money you’d have gotten the biggest smile out of him.
September 5th, 2007 at 2:39 pm
wow i dont think he shouldve been like that. But Who knows maybe its his age he’s not photogenic…who knows…
September 6th, 2007 at 10:26 am
I seen what an asshole he really was ,when i took my oldest son to one of his tours.he was rude to everyone that had approached him.Personally i never really got into kiss at after My son was 6 yrs old and i felt that their music was too bubble gumish for me.Did enjoy the persistent journalist..that has to be one of the most annoying jobs.ever
THANKS FOR SHARING

Kavon is the real star.
September 7th, 2007 at 7:41 pm
dude never mind ur funny!!! u shuld be on comedy network
September 8th, 2007 at 11:29 am
Gene is very complicated - things running through his head:
- Having a bad face day
- Having a bad hair day
- Have a bad mood day
- Didn’t want to be video taped because of the above
- Didn’t like the looks of Kayvon or his Camera guy and thought they were up to no good.
Bottom line: Gene doesn’t give a shit what we think.
September 11th, 2007 at 12:03 am
At first upon viewing this, I thought maybe Gene had a great big ZIT on his nose or something. Then I thought, maybe he dipped a little too heavy into the illegal pharmasuticals during lunch, and wasn’t in “interview mode”. But then I realized who I was referring to. Gene Simmons wasn’t going to be PAID for this picture and/or short interview! That kind of propaganda gets out all over the world and he is hounded for years from disapointed people trying to get free interviews from him, since his statis is “rock god”, a self reference which is sad in itself. But when the world worships you for a long period of time - you obviously believe it, or have to - to keep the image up - sorry Gene, the world is fickle. Kayvon, I think you have figured that out pretty quick, and I think what you do is great and makes so many people laugh! Why don’t you have a myspace page? You already have such a following! Would you sign my guestbook? You are so sweet.
September 25th, 2007 at 8:49 pm
Don`’t blame him for not wanting his picture taken.
October 6th, 2007 at 10:56 am
personally i love gene simmons, it was nice enough for him to say yes to a picture with you, he could have told you to piss off like alot of other ppl do….he doesnt know who you are you asked for a picture not to record him no wonder he decided not too…your pathetic you suck at what you do kayvon and theres really no need for any of your shows to exist get a life for real….Gene Simmons YOU ROCK, tell your family Ashley Hazlehurst said that they are lucky to have a man like you in the house…. Bye

He got low self esteem. That is why he wore that kinda make up.
October 27th, 2007 at 3:56 pm
yeah but apparently his show is the best reality tv couple one of 2007. Not that i watch them, i really don’t, but if you wanna believe the news, his show is a hit.
October 30th, 2007 at 11:31 am
Why do pissant little fanboys like you think you own the famous? True, without a fan base they never would have had any success but if some jackass spends $12 to see me one time that wouldn’t give him the right to harass me while I’m going into a hospital! If he liked a song I sang or a joke I told that doesn’t mean I owe him anything at all! People like you figure “Well, I’ve got a cheap assed video camera from my auntie, I’ve got a free website account where I can post shit and I have no discernable talents of my own. Time to harass people of actual importance at the mall !” Try to picture yourself as someone of significance. I know it’s a stretch but work with me. Now imagine that your child is in the hospital or your wife wants to break up. NOW picture 5 minutes after you hear this and some little fucker jumps out from behind a trash can with a camera and an autograph book and demands you be everything he’s ever imagined you to be! Get the picture Sparky?
October 30th, 2007 at 1:13 pm
u look like a creepy little puke
wouldnt b caught dead with ya loser…go Gene
November 2nd, 2007 at 9:51 pm
Wow, I part a the KISS Army. It is a real shoker that Gene Simmons gave up a oppritunity to show off his face, or have his picture taken.
Better luck next time.
November 5th, 2007 at 12:01 am
The only thing over rated in this clip is you Kayvon. I dont know how people like you get to have such a fan base. Stop harassing people with your crap just so you can get a few more minutes of air time on this shit site.
you stupid fan boy. i agree with damaldi “u look like a creepy little puke, wouldnt b caught dead with ya loser… go Gene”
November 5th, 2007 at 3:28 am
Hey maybe if you flashed a few Canadian Dollars he would have come out of his own asshole!!
I really thought Gene had a sense of humor, hahaha, guess its all for his ratings ,to be honest I’m really surprised he didn’t ask to buy the film like he normally would.
November 12th, 2007 at 10:28 am
Notice how nobody wants to get gene simmons autograph! who would after they’ve watched this! Hes a hasbeen with a big ego…
November 18th, 2007 at 9:11 pm
Alright, Kayvon. It’s Feedback. Just checking out the Gene Simmons bit for the first time.
You know what’s funny? After seeing all your press from TIFF where you preach the virtues of being respectful when getting autographs…etc, here you are ambushing a celeb with a video camera! Tut tut. PRACTISE what you preach, you hypocritical homonculus.
Anyway, funny bit regardless. Why Simmons would behave like that is beyond me. It seems strange (unless he was amusing HIMSELF for some perverse reason.)
Nevertheless - don’t forget. This Friday on CKLN 88.1 FM: “Kayvon’s Karaoke Carnival of Carnage.” from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. EST.

What an egotistical ass clown. I know exactly where this is and he hit on me when I was walking to studio nearby about 5 years ago. Kayvon, keep up the great work and pay no attention to douchebags like His Royal Highness Simmons….
