Quoted from Ericpinballfan:
You would be surprised what Gene does. Very good guy, humble, knows his fans have made him rich. But at the same time generous and like's to see his products succeed.
All you have to do is ask....
I think you're getting Gene mixed up with Paul...lol. I got to guard the band about 23 years ago. The first line up got together again. Worked with them three nights in a row. Please note that this was my snap shot of the band, I don't know them. This is just based on what I saw and how I saw them treat people. All three nights Paul was the most nice out of the band and Gene came in 4th place. I saw many cool things back stage and many odd things. They had two different VIP back stage rooms (A list and not A list). Paul was the only member of the band that would go to the not A list VIP room and visit the fans. During the three nights all the band members but Gene came up to me and thanked me more than once. That being said Gene was never an butthead or treated me bad, more that the rest of the band was cooler or go out of their way to be nice.
