Gene: Stop saying Canada! Nardwuar: Here in Canada we have Canada, Canada, Canada

Love how Nardwuar let's the interviewee air their problems with his interviewing style but then continues on with his style regardless, legend

How Gene Simmons has made it this long in the industry without getting punched in the goddamn face is beyond me.

A strange thing is that often the most rich and famous turn out to be the most depressed. Gene Simmons has his whole life behind him. That Thor guy, who's probably not even half as famous looks as if he's still living life to his fullest. That's why I'd never sellout.

Of all people, I did not expect Gene Simmons to actually say the Doot Doo at the end.

As a bass player, he's an excellent businessman.

The "horns" go way back; everything Gene said about the history and more, actually. What matters is who truly made it famous within the Metal community...and that would be Dio.

When Gene Simmons guessed that the photo of Thor was of Mr. Canada, he was actually right. Thor won the Mr. Canada bodybuilder contest.

Gene was actually way less egotistical than I expected in this video.

Actually Gene, that is not "god damn" yours. As a matter of fact, that is actually Ronnie James Dio's.

she looks healthy lmfao

Props to Nard to knowing what a narcisistic goof Gene is and planning Thor to come in and hijack it. Well played.

If that symbol "belongs" to anyone, it's Dio...

nardwuar's face when he gets a "doot doo" from gene simmons is fantastic.

It’s insane how superior to everyone this guy thinks he is. I hate his ego.

After seeing Thor bend the steel Gene is thinking, "hmmmmmm... maybe i should cool it"

He was surprisingly a good sport, I think he toned down his ego as the interview went on lol

I'm so glad everyone knows where the devil horns actually comes from because dio is three times better than gene

He looked so surprised when gene said do doo

You know Gene was paranoid thinking the guy was going to bust that steel bar over his head.

Gene also invented breathing, shoes and everything else....

that was so weird

Gene was surprising agreeable with Nardwuar.

"Im here with the metal god thor and gene simmons"

**shows him a picture of thor’s ex wife then brings him out to bend steel lmfao**

Nobody in the history of bass playing has ever held a pick with their middle finger.

Gene Simmons is the Neil deGrasse Tyson of rock music. They both love to hear themselves speak and both have gargantuan egos.

Dio still learned it from his grandma and it took on a new meaning when he used it on stage

Was the whole Thor thing to intimidate Gene?

three words gene.......Ronnie james dio

Darn......I was hoping Thor would have cracked open Gene's head with that steel bar.

Gene was surprisingly chill in this one.

good stuff nard!

Well this went far better than I expected.

lol love this interview

I love Gene Simmons' arrogance. You can tell it's not mean-spirited. He was even cool enough to do the "doot doot".

Wish this was longer

Gene Simmons male bonding: *'did I do your ex-wife?'*

My favorite part is Narduars reaction to him going along with the Doo Doo

Good to see Jon Mikl Thor! Had the wrong date for "Keep the Dogs Away" though (1977, not 1980 lol)

one of the best moments in Nardwuar history: Gene Simmonds: Canadians are obsessed with Canada! Stop it, it’s embarrassing! Nardwuar: Canada… We love you in Canada

How does this video only have 320 likes so far? This is CLASSIC Nardwuar.

sorry gene dio's grandma got the devil horns

"Remember the steel bar?" "No."

LOL The sounds he makes when he bends the steel is priceless. Sounds like the electric chair. Errreerggggghhhhhhh ROCK!!!

The first words after Gene Simmonds says: “Yeah… What is this Canadian obsession with trying to tug on peoples’ shirtsleeves and say, ‘Canada! Canada!’ Stop whining to foreigners! Cut it out, it’s embarrassing!” *CANADA!* - *WE LOVE YOU IN CANADA, Gene Simmons!*

I love the first 10 seconds to Nardwuar's videos.

Nice wig Thor is wearing there.

Classic interview

Gene still trying to convince everyone he was the first to throw up the devil horns on stage.

🤟🏻means “I love you” in sign language

I heard Gene on Dean Delray’s podcast this week and he came off as surprisingly likeable.

this is gunna be goooood... and i havent even hit play yet! get him, Nard!

Shame his talent doesn't match his ego.

LMAO!!! "Did I do your wife?"

He's the most pompous form of charming I've ever seen

Nardwuar has been hanging out with so many cool people over the years

the horns sign comes from dio's grand mother who use to conjure spells with that sign !!!

this is such a random interview hahahahaha the way Thor comes in

wow thanks for the history lesson gene simmons, very intriguing lol

was that two interviews? why let Thor in on Gene's time ?

Gene Simmons is a real sweet heart. i met him and he gave a hug and everything. he was admiring me like there was no tomorrow. i bet you never met him and if you did, you must've caught him on a bad day. seriously, it's just his public entertainment persona that he's cocky and stuff but he's really down to earth when you talk to him one on one

I love how there's a brief but clear look of "Oh shit!" across Gene's face when Thor steps in after Gene asks whether or not he fucked his wife. It would have been hilarious if Thor had played it up rather than immediately kissing Gene's ass.

love the cameo by thor

Gene a bass player that uses a pick, perfect description.

"no I didn't invent that" really now?

haha he looks so surprised at the end

I'm pretty sure that Bootsy Collins and Dio did that hand sign years before he did.

Nardwuar said "about" instead of "aboot" confirmed NON-Canadian and also member of illoominaty

i can't believe i've actually SEEN gene simmons live. the cool thing with it that makes me think, is that exactly THAT gene simmons have done an interview with nardwuar, which have done a interview with most great stars and band.

The I love you sign he invented, lol

nah. i'm just an obsessed fan that met him in 06. best day of my life

Were they?

i love nardwaurs interviews there just so fuckin random man.

This could be one of Narduwar's greatest hits.

nardwuar looked exactly like Garth after gene finished the jingle at the end. musta been a bit starstruck

Ronnie James Dio made the \m/ sign famous in music. Its been around forever though.

2:15 LMFAOOO i live in Sudbury and it's shitty

Wasn't it Coven?

he got the corna from Blackie Lawless who got it from John Lennon who got it from history.Dio later got famous for it

This felt like an interview with a vampire lol

3:04 - Gene is wondering if he is going to get his ass kicked... 3:45 - Gene is wondering if he going to the bar?

1:33 That belongs to Spiderman, the one with the thumb over the middle and ring finger belongs to Ronnie James Dio

2:14 bruh did he mention sudbury Ontario lmao

Didn't dio's granmother or mother invent the devil horn symbol?

Why are Canadians so high on being Canadian?

Nard's vest is awesome

Shout out to Sudbury!! That's awesome.

How dare he. We all know Dio immortalized the horns.

T.K. Kirkland was the first to throw up the devil sign back in the day...

Gene does have his thumb out too so he can have that one. I like the "hang loose" one with the pinkie and thumb for rocking out!!! Or, just a middle finger rocks the hardest!!!

... Just like I popularised the 07 back in 2003. And its zero seven, not oh seven. Its not a joke going over someones head, its a salute.

"let's... ROCK ON!"

This is the only time that Narduar wasn't the most annoying person in the room. Any time Gene Simmons is there he's going to be the one.

Very interesting stuff, It's a shame the Dio story isn't true then, would have been so much cooler haha :)

"he was admiring me like there was no tomorrow" Do you work for Franks Energy Drink Inc.?? Just wondering...lol

In Italy and some Mediterranean cultures, when confronted with unfortunate events, or simply when these events are mentioned, people flip up the horns to ward off bad luck. It is also used traditionally to counter or ward off the "evil eye" (malocchio). However, when directed towards someone, the sign is instead used as an insult in Italy to imply that another person is a cuckold, and thus the gesture can be offensive and insulting in a manner similar to giving the finger.

Do you know how hard it was to figure out your comment? And if not about Gene Simmons then what was it about?

if gene did it by accident while holding a pick, i stand by the fact that dio used it first. besides, from what i know, the sign he used at the end of his explanation is different. it's actually a sign language for the mute/deaf that means "i love you". MTV kids are so easy to influence these days.

@westpsmity They use the exact same source for their information, so obviously one did it before the other, but neither of the two were aware of the other.
