| For post #2500, I happily declare KISS the most over rated band ever. I just don't get it. And Gene Simmons was an absolute prick on fresh air. Completely devoid of class. You don't fuck with Terry Gross. |
Gene Simmons has been a classless prick the whole time.

Love 'em or hate 'em (there seems to be no inbetween) they have been around longer than a lot of bands and they continue to tour. I think only Cher has been around longer and she will be the last one standing at the end of time. |

Gene is very good at selling his brand. Your quote shows he result of that business acumen. Musical talent not required.

You missed the "American Rock Band" part of the quote.

You're right, although what I was actually quoting didn't mention American.
So, Bob Dylan.

| When the Stones did the Superbowl a few years back, I realized then that they shouldn't be playing live anymore. They look (and sounded like) tired old men. Maybe in the studio but not live. I agree its a pretty smart business move to put the makeup back on as it hides their real appearance and putting it back on makes it all seem somewhat unchanged from years ago. Its a good business model because if they tried to tour without it, I doubt half the people would come. I happen to like their music too - mostly the old stuff back when it all seemed "magical" to me. The "magic" is mostly gone but for a couple of hours, I can relive the "magic" with a smile on my face and then poof, its back to the current day with kids, work, etc., etc. And lastly, Paul says in a recent interview that coming to their show is about forgetting all the problems of the day for a few hours and enjoying yourself. Reliving, reminiscing, ahhhh...If I knew then what I know now...I take that back - I wouldn't change a thing. What a polarizing band they are. |
