KISS and Motley Crue will be hitting the road together. The iconic rock bands told Billboard that they?ll embark on a 40-date North American tour this summer which they?re dubbing ?The Tour?. Gene Simmons also took some time out of the interview to express his dislike for fake singers, specifically Rihanna. Uh oh, we sense a Twitter war is coming.
Both KISS and Motley Crue are very excited to be co-headlining ?The Tour?. Motley Crue?s Vince Neil told Billboard that KISS are the ?baddest band in the f***ing world?. Their first tour was with KISS in 1982.
Simmons had a lot to say about pop acts who are invading stadiums once filled by rock stars.
?We?re sick and tired of girls getting up there with dancers and karaoke tapes in back of them,? Simmons said. ?No fake bullshit. Leave that to the Rihanna, Shmianna and anyone who ends their name with an ?A.??
Motley Crue?s Tommy Lee seconded Simmons? opinions, expressing his frustration with the low quality of performances he sees.
?No disrespect to Rihanna, she?s a great singer, but we?re in a slump for some s**t that has some personality and appeal beyond a bunch of pop stuff that?s floating around out there?I?m glad he said that actually because I don?t think I can bear watching another f**king award show that is just a little bit better than ?American Idol.? It?s f**king pathetic to watch people go out and f**king karaoke with a bunch of lights and video. It?s all completely watered down.?
It seems like everyone has something to say about today?s music and performers. Last week, Billy Corgan called young artists ?posers? during a SXSW interview. In 20 years, it?ll be Rihanna and Justin Bieber?s turn to diss new performers. It?s the cycle of the music industry.
