Gene Simmons Slams U2, Stones For Something KISS Also Did (A Top Story)
. "I have a problem when you charge $100 to see a live show and the artist uses backing tracks," Simmons tells Australia's News.com.au. "It's like the ingredients in food, if the first ingredient on the label is sugar that's at least honest.

It's not about backing tracks, it's about dishonesty." "There's nobody with a synthesiser on our stage, there's no samples on the drums, there's nothing," he added. "There's very few bands who do that now - AC/DC, Metallica, us. I can't even say that about U2 or the Stones. There's very few bands who don't use (backing) tracks." 65-year old Simmons and KISS have performed with backing tracks twice in recent months.
