It's the middle of the night. If this were during the KISS glory years, Gene Simmons would still be wide-eyed, perhaps backstage after a concert and surrounded by groupies.

But on 'Gene Simmons Family Jewels' (Sun., 9PM ET on AETV) he's in bed and snoring heavily. Longtime partner Shannon Tweed turns him over. The Demon still won't shut up. She grabs a pillow, lunges toward him and plants it firmly over his face, holding it there with the full weight of her body.

He snorts and muffles, "Stop it!" She quietly removes the pillow and returns to her side of the bed. "Mom tried to kill me, you know that?" Gene later tells their son Nick.
