On the heels of his first foray into videogame controllers based on
his axe-shaped bass guitar, Gene Simmons has a lot to say about it.
“I never do anything half way. My AXE controller is the closest
thing you can have to being onstage in KISS. I created and designed
the Gene Simmons AXE bass guitar and I can’t wait for the
fans to experience it for themselves," said Gene Simmons. “The
Gene Simmons AXE guitar is such a recognizable symbol - people
have been asking for a gaming replica ever since Guitar Hero
was first introduced.”
Gene Simmons joined with Interactive Game Group, LLC to create the
Gene Simmons AXE guitar controller for the Guitar Hero
and Rock Band videogame franchises.
Commenting on developing the guitar, Interactive Game Group Founder,
Fred Chesnais said, “Gene Simmons is the Rock Lord and the Gene
Simmons AXE bass guitar is an integral part of his signature
look. Bringing this Axe Controller to life was an incredible
journey, and I am sure every player will enjoy it.”
This fully equipped, axe-shaped guitar controller is a replica of
the KISS bassist and vocalist’s signature bass guitar. The Gene
Simmons AXE controller is personally certified by the Rock God
himself, Gene Simmons, to give players that Rock Star experience.
The wireless Gene Simmons AXE controller is a
three-quarter-sized replica of the original Gene Simmons AXE
guitar and larger than the standard videogame guitar controllers.
Customized with a replicated paint finish of the original guitar,
the Gene Simmons AXE guitar controller features Gene Simmons
autograph and his photo in make-up painted onto the body of the
controller.
