Gene Simmons Doesn't Regret Attempting Metal Horns Trademark

Although Kiss co-founder Gene Simmons failed in his recent attempt to trademark the metal horns hand gesture, which has been something shared among rock and metal fans alike across the globe for decades he apparently does not regret trying at all.

In a recent interview with Windsor Star, Simmons discusses his feelings on the matter saying:

“I regret nothing. Let your conscience be your guide.

Did you know I own the money bag logo? The dollar sign with the bag of money. I own all kinds of things. I own ‘motion pictures’ as a trademark. Anyone who thinks that’s silly — the silliest thing I’ve ever done is wear more makeup and higher heels than your mommy. People said, ‘You can’t do that.’ Actually, bitch — I can. I can do anything I want.”

Clearly you can't do whatever you want, Mr. Simmons. Just because you have money, it doesn't mean you can get away with every last petty ridiculous thing you want. I'm glad that everyone including Wendy Dio (wife of the late Ronnie James Dio who made the gesture famous) stood up and said something about it before it was too late. The gesture really does belong to everyone who feels the spirit of rock n' roll in their hearts. You can't just buy that.
