Gene Simmons Insists Rock Is Really Dead
. Simmons came under fire from other musicians last month after he said that rock had been "murdered" and that it's almost impossible for new bands to make a living in the music industry. Rob Halford and Dee Snider were among those to reject Simmons' view. Now, Simmons tells Kansas City Live: "Rock and roll is dead. I'm gonna ask you a question, and you decide, okay? From 1958 until 1988, it's 30 years, name hundreds and hundreds of classic rock acts? "Okay, I've got Elvis Presley, the Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Led Zeppelin on and on and on. Even Motown, Madonna, Prince, Michael Jackson. "From 1988 until today, just give me five. You can't. No. Nobody. How about that?" Read the rest of his argument here.
