At present, Gene Simmons stars on A&E's Gene Simmons Family Jewels. Soon however, the 58-year-old rocker might be branching out on yet another reality series. Word on the street is that a Kiss-themed competition series is already in the works, which is reportedly an attempt to replace the legendary group's band members.
Simmons, who co-founded Kiss in the early 1970s, is known as “The Demon,” the blood-spitting and tongue-wagging persona in the hard rock band. In an interview with Norway's NRK channel, Simmons hinted on controversial issue.

At 58, legendary rocker Gene Simmons has managed to keep himself busy with his work on his reality series Gene Simmons Family Jewels, as well as his duties as bassist and vocalist to the band Kiss. On top of that, he still runs his business empire, which includes a comic book line, his own record company, a magazine, an animated series, while juggling TV and film appearances.
Although Gene Simmons Family Jewels, which is currently on its third season, is about to wrap up its production, this doesn't mean that Simmons will have more room for rest and relaxation. In fact, he already has something lined up to fill the void.

In case you haven't heard, Gene Simmons, co-founder of rock band Kiss and star of the reality series Gene Simmons Family Jewels, will be appearing in Toshio Li's live-action film adaptation of Kiminori Wakasugi's Detroit Metal City manga. Quite fittingly, Simmons plays the "Demon God of Rock and Roll," which coincidentally rings a bell to his real-life onstage persona nickname, “The Demon.”
For those who are not familiar, Detroit Metal City is about a death metal band that has gained immense popularity in the indie scene. The main character, Negichi Souchi, is a push-over who is trying to make a living in the music world, despite that fact that he never envisioned himself to be in such a band. Moreover, the rock parody manga has also served as the inspiration behind Simmons' band's signature white-and-black face corpse paint look, as well as the hit song "Detroit Rock City."
