Gene Simmons: Rock is Dead

[Kezia]

Gene Simmons: Rock is ‘Finally Dead,’ Killed by Entitled, White Middle- and Upper-Class Young People « Radio.com

Do people actually listen to anything this hack says? Another old dude scared of the oogy boogy scary internet. This shit always kills me

Didn't even have to read the article. Totally agree. My first thought was "Gene Simmons is a rock critic?"

 

[Kamen_Kaiju]

They've only been saying that his entire life.

...and Rock keeps on keeping on.

The advice I'd take from Gene is how to turn money into more money. I've heard his music,....I don't value his opinion on that subject.

gene killed it...

 

[Brutalisateur]

Gene Simmons blaming the middle and upper classes..... Because of course it's the lower classes that have been buying up all that merchandise he churns out to stay financially healthy isn't it.....

 

[Marshall & Moonshine]

Rock is dead? Why? Because he can't make it anymore?
Rock doesn't die. It changes.

 

[Comanche]

He just now realized Gene Simmons is officially dead to Rock and Roll.

 

[Kashmir]

Though rock is far from dead, I wish KISS music actually was. God damn bubblegum 3-chord wanker garbage.

What Mal said... and I'm a big KISS fan. Gene should just STFU and plan another big money-making tour - not that there's anything wrong with that.

 

[Kamen_Kaiju]

I consider him a genius marketer,...one of the best possibly. He's brilliant at branding and pushing a product through all available channels.

But he's not a musician, not even a little bit.

I would bet money he has no idea what's actually going on in the underground anyway.

Gene Simmons said something to keep his ugly puss in the "news"

 

[parts]

Never a Kiss fan.. So was he the "tongue" guy.

 

[Deus Vult]

says the guy who routinely uses hired guns to dress up like his former band mates.

However, the music being played on the airwaves does pretty much suck.

There's plenty of good stuff, it's just not on the radio anymore.

He's kind of a douche, but he's right.

In my area there is little to no market for rock music. And the market that is there are all in their 30's+.

Gene Simmons isn't dead. He just looks like it w/o his makeup

 

[HenryHill]

I predict he'll profess something obvious or controversial next month, and that they'll be a thread here about it.

 

[LeftyF2003]

Gene will wring a dollar out of rock as long as there's a dollar to be wrung...
