Now you can pee on Gene Simmons' face!

Gene wants all you've got
Gene wants all you've got

KISS's Gene Simmons has issued the following statement: "For all of you who have always wanted to pee on my face!!! Now you can."

Yes, it's true. Sorta. Turns out that the only way you can, um, urinate on Mr Simmons is if you're lucky enough to be in a public restroom - a men's restroom, we should stress - that features a Gene Simmons Family Jewels urinal cake.

It's all part of the promotion for the new season of A&E's unscripted series Gene Simmons Family Jewels, which just kicked off a new season on 7 June.

Proper urinal cake usage

"All you need to do is point your tool into the urinal, hit the cake with your flow and don't be surprised if the urinal cake talks back to you!!!" Gene Simmons

Regarding use of the urinal cakes, Simmons is most helpful, as you might imagine him to be: "Now, for those of you who need detail," says Simmons, "all you need to do is point your tool into the urinal, hit the cake with your flow and don't be surprised if the urinal cake talks back to you!!!

"And please, leave the urinal cake in the pee hole for others to enjoy."

Thanks, Gene. We think we'll go home empty-handed, as it were.

KISS are a bunch of spuds...really!

In other KISS promotional news, both KISS and spuds fans can rejoice, as the Promotional Partners company will release a series of KISS Mr Potato Head toys, complete with interchangeable parts.

This collectors' set includes all four members of KISS; The Demon, The Spaceman, The Catman and Paul Stanley The Starchild. A variety of KISS costumes, instruments, hairstyles, footwear and faces are included to mix and match.

The KISS Potato Heads are scheduled for a mid-July release.

However, we at MusicRadar implore you: pee on the urinal cakes, not on the potatoes. Unless you're really into that kind of thing, in which case...well, we've said enough.
