Gene Simmons signature tongue has been a staple of rock and roll music for a long time. Ever since KISS took the stage, the game has changed. Before Gene Simmons, no one thought you could stick your tongue out like that and still rock. He proved them all wrong. Not anyone could have done that either. He's got an unnaturally long tongue. That combined with the weird face makeup and you have a look that brands you for life.
Gene Simmons knows the power of his tongue. I'm sure some lucky ladies do too, and maybe even a few lucky ice cream cones, if you know what I mean. He uses that thing a lot. If you're going to be sticking that thing out all the time, you better have it insured. They don't make bullet proof vests for tongues.
