Gene Simmons on the Death of Rock, Vegas Plans, and 50 Years of Dressed To Kill
Manage episode 482247904 series 3457789
Gene Simmons says rock is dead. Again. And also that opera sucks, Broadway is confusing, critics are failed musicians, and he’s having more fun than the Pope. In this new Kyle Meredith With…, the Kiss legend returns to talk about the 50th anniversary of Dressed to Kill, the Kiss Army’s Las Vegas takeover, and why Rock and Roll All Nite still matters even if it was never a “hit single” in the traditional sense. Simmons discusses his new film company (Simmons/Hamilton Films), why young bands are stuck in an industryless industry, and story behind fan-favorite “Spit.” There’s also some light praise for Isaac Asimov, a tangent on why Wet Leg wouldn’t survive 1975, and a personal shoutout to Kyle’s mom.
