But it wasn't just Gene's talent behind the kit that made him a household name. His larger-than-life personality, infectious charisma, and devil-may-care attitude made him a true rock star before rock stars even existed. With his trademark slicked-back hair, sharp suits, and perpetual cigarette dangling from his lips, Gene was the epitome of cool.
