Kiss star Gene Simmons has slammed bands including Radiohead, who he believes put on boring live shows. Simmons said that bands have a responsibility to provide a spectacle for their fans and shouldn’t just stand static with a guitar. “I admire bands like Radiohead, but the idea of being that serious? Fuck that, get up on stage and blow shit up,” Simmons told WENN.
Simmons went on to compare live performances to films, saying that they require audio and visual elements. “If you’re not fulfilling the visual part it’s like watching a movie with your eyes closed,” he mused. “One of the biggest compliments we get is [when people say], ‘I fucking hate their music but that’s the best show I ever saw in my life.’” For more Gene Simmons wisdom and juicy sound-bites, how could you go past his outrageous chat with FasterLouder in February?
