It\'s not alleged, Mr.Simmons has confirmed on several occasions that he did send Diamond a CD when he first came out wearing a makeup design that bore a striking resemblance to Simmons demon character makeup design.

WTF? How can you say that about Alice Cooper? Sure, it isnt scary anymore, but thats because its his trademark. Its classic. It is one of the most influential makeup designs of all time! Even Kiss has said without Alice there wouldnt be any Kiss!
