Asshole, the 2nd solo album by Kiss's Gene Simmons, was released in 2004 on Sanctuary Records. Its controversial title does not appear on the front cover. On the side of the CD case the title reads "asshole". "It's just another way of me saying, 'I don't care what anyone says about me," he declared. "I'm preempting what people say and therefore diffusing the power of my detractors."
The album contains songs by Simmons based on work by Bob Dylan and Frank Zappa, among others. Dave Navarro plays guitar on the Prodigy cover "Firestarter".
