It's a long interview, but in it Gene Simmons explains how he was the one who invented the devil horns. One of these days, I hope someone sets the record straight and the answer ends up being Dio
:wink:

I thought it was an old Italian thing? Dio's grandma use to do it to keep evil demons away or some shit. Then he started using it on stage.

Oh, fuck Gene Simmons.

Gene Simmons is just a self-rightious fucktard. Everyone who is mildly intelligent knows it was Dio.

I'm surprised the douche hasn't tried to copyright it yet and ca$$$h in on it.

Anyway, his claimimg it's invention is retarded, obviously.

Well, in that Headbanger movie docu thing Dio states that he took it from his gran, the 'evil eye' and popularised it. Gene is full of shit, why would legions of metalheads raise their hands at every gig as if to say "YEAH MAN!I HOLD MY IMAGINARY PICK LIKE GENE!!!MOTHERFUUUCKKKKIIIING METAAAAL!" Whereas the evil eye shit is cool.

I thought most people did it because allegedly it's the "sign of the devil" or something. In Italian culture it's still an offensive gesture.

According to Gene Simmons, he invented Algebra, the steam engine and music itself.

Oh totally, it was cute, I found hahah. But it's still funny. I'm surprised Gene Simmons didn't sue him for something though to try and snatch all his money after it though.
