The band lineup includes guitarist Brent Woods (Sebastian Bach, Vince Neil), guitarist Jason Walker and drummer Brian Tichy (Whitesnake, Billy Idol).

In a 2024 interview with Guitar World, Simmons recalled why he’d decided to play bass. “When I was a kid I noticed that everybody wanted to be a guitar player, and I did initially learn to play a few chords,” he said. “But I picked up bass because there were fewer bass players, and it increased my chances of being in a band – which is what I really wanted.”

He added of his keep-it-simple approach to playing: “I was never really interested in being a bass virtuoso. I don’t like showoffs in music. I’m much more attracted to things that are memorable. The guy who came up with hamburgers is worshipped around the world. If you go to a French cooking school, they’d never cook a hamburger – but who the fuck puts frog legs in their mouth? I’m a Burger King Whopper; that’s all the credibility I would ever want.”
