Recordings of Lollapalooza set with Gene Simmons?

[norecess]

From Wikipedia:

"Gene Simmons of Kiss played bass with Melvins at Lollapalooza in 1993 and 1994 for a full set."

Is this actually true? And if so, are there any recordings of this?

I remember reading that he just joined them for Going Blind and also did the vocals.  I'd be really surprised if he played a whole set.

Let me post the whole thing then

Gene Simmons of Kiss played bass with Melvins at Lollapalooza in 1993 and 1994 for a full set. He also played bass with Melvins in 1993 in a concert with Primus, on the song Goin' Blind, a Kiss song that Melvins had covered on Houdini.[1]

I'd be really surprised if he played a whole set.

There's a lot of things throughout their career that surprise/fascinate me, part of the appeal I guess.

I don't know if Gene would have those kind of chops to hang with the boys, but if it is out there it I would love to own that recording.

I'd say that gene does have the chops. the bass lines in kiss weren't always easy schmeasy. and he's played continuously for about 35 years?

I'd like to see Gene play Night Goat.

Shit, I should have remembered that.  I went to 93 and 94.  No Melvins.  Wasn't 96 the same year Metallica played?  I remember not being able to go because I was sicker than shit.

Yes, Metallica................the only time I ever saw them was a few times in catering and the bass player came to many Melvins sets......the Cows, Ramones, Soundgraden, Screaming Trees (with Lanegan kicking H) were on that tour also.
