Gene is captured here trying to spit blood at the photographers while performing in Cleveland on the Love Gun Tour. Gene had just finished producing a demo for Van Halen before this tour but was getting no interest from record labels so they decided to release the band. This tour was promoting their Love Gun album which became the band's first Top 5 album to hit the Top 200 and easily going platinum. This photo was taken by Janet Macoska who was one of my favorite rock photographers.
Her work has been idolized by photo collectors over the last 40 years. This photo was taken on January 8th 1978 and is Credited to Janet Macoska. The Size is 8 x 10 inches and is in MINT Condition.
This is by far the coolest photo of Gene Simmons that I have handled to date! This would be a great centerpiece photo to a great Rock & Roll collection. Please contact me if you have anymore questions about the photo since ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
