KISS star Gene Simmons is facing a fresh wave of backlash for comments he made about people who refuse to get the COVID-19 vaccine.

Two particular clips of the 73-year-old rocker are once again making the rounds on Twitter. One Is from an Oct. 2021 episode of "Good Morning Britain," and the other is a Nov. 2021 clip from the podcast "TalkShopLive."

In the "Good Morning Britain" clip, the show anchors ask Simmons about the mask mandates his band was enforcing on fans attending mostly outdoor concerts. Simmons also spoke on the vaccine requirement fans faced if they wished to board the upcoming "KISS Kruise," which was a music festival held on a cruise ship.

We’re not concerned if you’re breathing it or not... we’re concerned if you’re getting us sick," Simmons told the Good Morning Britain crew while speaking on behalf of his bandmates. "So get your g**d**mned COVID shot."

When the conversation shifted, and the anchors asked questions about his opinions on government mask and vaccine mandates, Simmons didn't mince words.

That’s right; the government is telling you what to do," Simmons said. "Shut up, be respectful of other people, and get a [Covid] vaccine. Stop being selfish."

While the comments are more than a year old now, that didn't stop critics from lambasting Simmons on social media this month, when the videos once again started circulating.

Rock and roll all night and party every day unless the government tells you to stop. Then shut up and do it," said singer/songwriter Brad Skistimas on his band's Twitter account, apparently mocking the idea and Simmons's comments

Good morning to everyone except Gene Simmons who wants you to blindly follow what the government tells you to do and get jabbed," said author Laura Kronen in a tweet. "Meanwhile his grandmother died in a Nazi gas chamber. And his mother held prisoner. But you should 'shut up and do it' because the govt tells you to?"

Pro-Authoritarian Rock Bands are boring," said Missouri Senator-elect Eric Schmitt in his tweet.

In a scathing article written Monday, The Federalist editor Samuel Mangold-Lenett said that Simmons's comments, "while incredibly stupid," are actually something that "should be expected from someone in his position."

Since amassing immense wealth and celebrity, he has likely never been seriously tested by life or compelled to reflect in any meaningful way, so upon meeting serious resistance to his lifestyle and health for the first time with the advent of Covid-19, he has lost the ability to assert his will on the people and environments around him," The Federalist article says.

Mangold-Lenett adds in The Federalist article that he believes Simmons was experiencing a sort of existential crisis when the rocker made the comments in 2021.

Simmons is an aging celebrity who probably, with the advent of Covid, seriously contemplated human mortality for the first time in a while," The Federalist article continues. "An ever-observable phenomenon among the famous is that they tend to lose their grip on reality when they encounter something they cannot control with their vast wealth or cultural influence."

Social media users have also recently been replying to Simmons's tweets with another clip, this one being the "TalkShopLive" clip from Nov. 2021.

In that clip, Simmons can be heard telling the show's host that "if you're willing to walk among us unvaccinated, you are an enemy."

Again, the host asks Simmons about KISS's mask and vaccine policies, and the topic of the "Kiss Kruise" requiring COVID shots comes up.

You had to have been vaccinated. I don’t care about your political beliefs," Simmons says in the clip when talking about the cruise's vaccination requirement. "You are not allowed to infect anybody just because you think you’ve got rights that are delusional."

Simmons and his bandmates are Rock and Roll Hall of Famers, but critics say that doesn't make them experts on health policies or the COVID vaccine.

There are far better things to do with your life than letting the guy with the tongue from Kiss dictate how you live," The Federalist's Mangold-Lenett writes.
