Gene Simmons

Gene Simmons Kiss
Continued tongue wagging in the bedroom
Members of this American band painted their faces like comic book characters. But once the make-up came off, it was a session of far more adult jamming. Bassist and lead vocalist Gene Simmons would continue with his on-stage tongue-wagging act, earning him the title of "sex addict". Simmons has also had his share of legal drama. In 2005, former girlfriend Georgeann Walsh Ward sued him. "Sex is the only way to survive in the Rock world," Simmons once famously remarked. Guess he's now had to put his money where his mouth was.



AXL Rose Guns 'n' Roses
Loves taping girl-on-girl action
The lead vocalist of Guns 'n' Roses made his mark during the '80s and early '90s, ranking 64 in Rolling Stone's 100 great singers of all-time list. If there were an official Wall of Fame for sexual liaisons though, Axl might have flown into the top 10. The women that made it to Axl's arms and bed include "Sweet Child o' Mine's" Erin Everly, whom he tied the knot with in 1990 after threatening to kill himself if she didn't agree to marry him, and Victoria's Secret model Stephanie Seymour who featured in the music video of November Rain.
Strippers, models, porn stars, tall, mysterious blondes and brunettes, all made it to Axl's list. The man who grew up singing in church is famous for his sexual perversions, including his love of bondage, sex toys and girl-on-girl action. He also loves getting it all taped.
