KISS vocalist/bassist Gene Simmons is known for his many marketing antics.

According to societyofrock, the band is selling air-guitar strings. That’s right, invisible guitar strings for your invisible air guitar, selling at a price of $3.99 for an empty bag of plastic. The funny part is, people are actually buying it. Who are we kidding at this point and what will they sell next?

They are currently selling a KISS Pinball machine for just under $12,000, sterling silver KISS Pendants for roughly $500, an endless amount of holiday merchandise, and much more!
