I'm a 71 year old African American woman born in Chicago. I still crank up my music LOUD in my house and car when the right cut comes on. ACDC is still as head bangin now as it was when Highway To Hell was released in 1979 Thunderstruck in 1990. Rock music will die for me when I do!!
rock on, little sister. Love to ya.
Keep on rocking girl, never let the music die. 😊👍
Rock on Sis!
i just fell in love with you
@Potwheelz did you accidentally post that on the wrong comment thread?
"Who's he?"
Angus is the best. Period.
His laughter sounds like he just told the best dad joke ever.
Brilliant answer 😂😂😂😂
So quick and witty
Gene was the one who promoted AcDc in 1975 in New York, and helped a lot to its popularity increasing. So no, Angus is not the best at this phrase
Rock 'n' roll ain't noise pollution
Rock 'n' roll ain't gonna die
Rock 'n' roll ain't noise pollution
Rock 'n' roll it will survive
Yes it will.
+ahepperl you can't stop rock 'n' roll
ahepperl i Strongly agree with u my brother,,,,,,,,,,thx
ahepperl 1:21 "yeah it's his opinion, yeah he's introduced it. It's wrong" that's why I love Brian
The Dawn
But you have to admit that much of the 'rock N roll' that's come out in the past 15 years or so, is garbage. As Brian said, young people have the right to their opinion that Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Iggy Azalea and Kanye West are great musicians....... But they are WRONG! Lol
"it will alwayd be we us"
I don’t think Gene’s statement was as simple as “rock n roll is dead”. He was commenting on the general state of the music industry and its lack of structure, talent development and promotion.
I couldn’t have said it better brotha 💪🏼
They say Rock is dead since the 90s
Yup exactly and it is dead
That's exactly the point he was making. The reporter completely missed it, and Brian and Angus just blathered on. The central question is, what is the future of rock n roll? I don't see it, myself, as the industry itself is in ruins.
Funny a guy with no musical talent comments on lack of talent from his multi million dollar mansion.
"Never listen to a man wearing makeup" words to live by Brian. God bless him.
kiss aid acdc at their beginning - acdc was the support of kiss
angus young self said: ,, At the beginning our career, we had big problems to go on tour.
The Headliners says everytime: Kick them out.
But Gene Simmons saw our potential and helped us to get bigger Shows
That was our carreer start.
the funniest part and true.
Should be man wearing face paint. Like sports fans, nothing good can come of it.
.......and ; Kiss turned out to be a fraction as good as AC/DC, ultimately......THE END !
Well, Brian is having a hard time listening at all..
What Gene meant was no one is buying his overpriced KISS merchandise anymore.
Please! KISS probably has ONE signature song as opposed to AC/DC that has SEVERAL. I for one never wanted to hear KISS rock and roll all night.
cozzie
Metallica, the sellout, has joined the chat. Lol
This is Gene's way of pushing Kiss coffins...
@@kisshooters69 You still here?
Im far from being a kiss fan but atleast their songs dont sound all the same.
“For those who don’t know, rock and roll does not sound like KISS” - Lemmy
Lemmy was right! 👍
Broncodude Lemmy was too right
The legend himself
Lemmy was wrong. KISS was kickass, especially in the 70's.
@but why Sad to hear you're missing out on a kickass 70s band. Not sure why people can't seem to love AC/DC AND KISS. I implore you to listen to their earlier stuff. The 1975 demo version of Black Diamond is a great starting point. Killer is a great song, too.
I'm a 41 year old black man and I'm here to tell you.. T.N.T., Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, Jailbreak, Squeeler, Touch Too Much, Hard As A Rock and many other AC/DC songs are timeless so rock could never be dead. Ijs
Well said!
NO, UNFORTUNATELY HE IS NOT WRONG !!! LET ME KNOW WHEN APPEARS NEW BANDS LIKE BEATLES, QUEEN, ACDC, KISS, PINK FLOYD ETC ... NEVER ! THIS IS THE TRUE
Amen my brother and I’m a black woman telling you that AC/DC is the best
@@MichelleofGlendale Agreed. Their latest album Power Up is a mini magnum opus. That mite be pushing it.. It's good.
what's being black got to do with it.
''Gene Simmons...Who is he?''. A reference to an interview years ago when Bon was asked a question about KISS.
@1800nunyabiz Pretty sure no one gives a fuck about VH.....
Gene Simmons 😂😂😂
"No one gives a fuck about van Halen."
Ignores their immense success and certified diamond debut record. In what world does nobody care about Van Halen?
Oh yeah. The guy that exposed them to us audiences by letting them open. Yeah I think I remember who he is.
@@SPOOKSTR oh come on. VH one one of the best hard rock acts of all time
Angus' laugh....lol.
Hahahahahahaha XD
SPOOKSTR
He has the cutest laugh. There is a laugh compilation video I would recommend looking it up.
Its like a bevus and butthead laugh
His laugh is priceless, chuckling from the heart 😂😂😂
IKR LMAOO
Gene Simmons wishes....he was a rock n roller like AC/DC.
Kiss and AC/DC shouldn't be mentioned in the same sentence. Simmons has always been a joke and arrogant. AC/DC were and still are the real deal.
It was KISS who took AC/DC out on their first tour !
@@akhnatun Nope,they toured all around Australia first.
@Mooch 514 Not from you for sure,smartass! First,the comment i replied,says that Kiss took Ac Dc on their FIRST tour,which is a lie. They already toured Australia and Europe,before the US.
So that"kiss took acdc out on its first north american tour.."was not really the"question",was it?
Even so....Second,they toured the US before they went with Kiss on tour.
Learn something yourself first,dumbass!
There's nothing gay about"little boys school outif",unless your gay brain sees it. But whatever makes you happy
And yet KISS have out sold ACDC, numbers win all arguments, beats your opinion.
True story... I was once on stage filling in as the lead singer and lead guitarist for AC-DC. I was seriously rocking the house, the crowd was cheering and really into it. Then I felt a tug on my shoulder and a faint voice. Finally I looked up and my mom was yelling "Wake up boy, if you don't get to work on time you're going to lose your job at Waffle House "
This post made my day😤 Betcha a dollar he would try to cage. A free meal at Waffle House He'd also try to get paid while chomping down on Steak and Eggs. Hope I never have to meet the miserable sob.
As Lew said to Margie in the great movie "Fargo", "Yaaaah, that's a good one . . ."
What are you doing here Abe? I heard you still lurk in the WH.....wouldn't mind giving Orange 45 a good lesson would you??
I would of replied with "I ain't going to work. I got an earache."
Axel is that you ?
"You can't kill rock'n'roll
It's here to stay"
-Ozzy Osbourne
Actually, Bob Daisley.
Oh yeaah!
Gene Simmons' rock and roll career may be dead, but not rock and roll.
Correct! Gene and hi KISS band are a circus act and only fill in Gaps, AC/DC are for real and never fill in Gaps.
Can u name one band so awesome so importante like the beloved old ones? U just dont want to admite, rock fans have to live with the same old song.
Simmons was referring to new bands coming out now. Are there any real rock bands that have come out in the last 5 years? 10? Idk, black Angels maybe.
Kiss is the hottest band in the world from some point of view ... The most influential band of the last 45 years (everyone has something from Kiss, from Metallica to Lady Gaga) ... The only phenomenon band with all 4 members k lead vocal ... A sensational story in which they beat record after record ... The biggest show band in the world - it doesn't matter how many bombs and lasers you put on stage, but the skeleton of the Kiss show which is iconic, each band taking something from Kiss - "You can copy a Kiss show, but you can't be a Kiss", there is no other band in which every "superhero" character has fulfilled his role in the show ... Few people here know that Kiss fans (Kiss Army) are the craziest and most fanatical in the world - for example a Kiss fan fatally shot a techno fan in 1994 - few know that rock band T-shirts started from the Kiss Army ... As the band sold "merchandise" from T-shirts, condoms to ... coffins worth about $ 1 billion ... As a band he performed for over 30 million spectators ... As bands like ACDC, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Van Halen, Blue Oyster Cult, Anthrax, Pantera (and others) sang in the opening for Kiss ... Kiss is ICONIC
@@xmcddddd Lukas Graham. And then some decent solo acts are: Hozier, Gary Clark Jr, Marcus King, Tedeschi Truck Band. And Jack White still releases music as well
The only time I ever saw the whole audience stand up during a song, even in the top row, for the whole song. Was at a AC/DC concert. They have so many great songs. They are truly great rock performers and showmen.
Pretending to not know who Gene Simmons was at the beginning was a shoutout to Bon who genuinely forgot Gene’s name on camera back in 1977 😂
Yep I remember! Hahaha
Another one from 1977: Molly Meldrum asked Polly Styrene if she liked any of his suggested acts and seemed slightly puzzled when she categorically said 'Nah...don't like KISS!'
Chrissy Hinde said she could eat a can of beans and produce her own little symphonies that would easily excel KISS. 😁
I’m not an AC/DC fan at all, but when a rock band that has almost been going 50 years speaks, I listen.
Same Kiss ... But guess what Acdc opened for Kiss in the 70's
@but ton And get's booed for being shit, because we just want AC/DC to come on
@@alessandrodelpierojuventus8156rush, iron maiden, cheaptrick, motley crue, poison,priest, scorpions, bon jovi, tom petty, styx etc etc all opened for kiss
Rock and Roll is dead? AC/DC’s Angus Young & Brian Johnson disagree.
Heard that interview today. Little known trivia: AC/DCs old road manager, Barry Taylor, performed my wedding ceremony. Still married 20 years later.
If Rock and roll is dead, as according to Mr Simmons, surely he is one of its murderers. He is one of the single most significant figures who has diluted the genre and reduced it to a reason to sell a lunchbox or some other trivial trinket that served only him and his outrageous ego. Besides, he is just plain wrong. KISS in the 80's was a rock band, all the other stuff is as it was from the start, a venture backed by guys who made comedy records. He is an embarrassment to music in general.
Rock And Roll Masters! \m/
I like Gene Simons, but rock isn't dead. It's just in a low point at this moment.
Mark Basta Rock isn't bringing in the money it used to it. Statisticly is in a low point. Not that the music sucks. I love the music. People are idiots and listen to pop music and gangster rappers cause they think it makes them cool.
I suspect Simmons was miss quoted. The industry has changed undoubtably. Rock and Roll itself will never die.
As long as somebody out there is playing a guitar and singing about having a good time Rock and Roll is alive.
if it's dead then why does it make me feel so alive?
...Even if just ONE kid is listening to & loving rock music, then it isn't dead! x
What Gene Simmons actually said is, "The record industry is dead."
And services like Itunes and Pandora killed it, along with the creation of music files like mp3.
Rock and Roll All Nite, and Party Every Day.
Correct. This is a typical media distortion of what he actually said.
Rock 'n' roll ain't noise pollution
Rock 'n' roll ain't gonna die
Rock 'n' roll ain't noise pollution
Rock 'n' roll it will survive (yes it will) - AC/DC
For true rockers rock and roll never die, God bless Rock And Roll.
Two best parts of this: Angus' weird laugh and Brian saying, "Never listen to men wearing makeup."
"We are the leaders, gonna give give ya everything you need..." Very true lyrics from ACDC, They are THE Ambassadors of rock. Another line that stuck with me is "rockers have the right of way". You know how to compliment ACDC? you do not say ACDC fan till I die....you say rocker.
IMDARKFIRE007
Stand up and be counted

For those about to rock, we salute you
I made my last post 2 years ago at the age of 71. UPDATE! I'm now 73 and just finished listening to AC/DC jamming in my kitchen. Thank God I'm in great health and my hearing is prefect so I can annoy my neighbors with very LOUD Rock!! You may not believe this but I instructed my family to play Highway to Hell at my funeral. 😆
As 22 year old millennial, I Truly Love Rock n Roll music I really wish my generation didn't bully me in high school because of my love for it. their so into hip hop music and teen pop music now, it's made me absolutely sick to my stomach and it sounds like crap, plus there's to much profanity in hip hop. I always wanted to start a band of my own I really hope the music industry will change their minds soon.
Kody Evins believe me, it was the same in my younger days, some 35 years ago
Herman Helmich yh disco was the rap of the time
Kody Evins im 16 and my band bully pop/rap trashes lmao
Herman Helmich I don't believe you :D
It's always the same. Kids growing up are influenced by what is popular, not necessarily what is good. The fact you prefer Rock N Roll means you have taste. You're part of a club with hundreds of millions of others, who prefer music to words being spoken over a sampled track with a singer being 'featured' because the rapper can't be arsed to write a third verse (or vice versa). Stick with it kid, Rock n Roll always finds it's way back!
This guys are living proof of the most pure rockanroll .
The recording industry has done everything in its power to kill rock 'n' roll (which is what Gene Simmons was talking about), but no: it's not dead. Rock has as much appeal as it ever did. A century from now, people will still be listening to Chuck Berry, the Stones, AC/DC and Black Flag; they *won't* be listening to Beyoncé and Post Malone.
Rock and Roll can never die because as long as there is teenage rebellion R&R
will be there
“As long as you’re alive, and we’re alive...rock and roll will never die” - Airbourne - Raise the Flag
Christopher Bingham I agree, mostly, I still like them. They have some stuff that is angrier than AC/DC, they have a little Motörhead in their blood. Wish they would switch it up a little though for sure, and write something really unique.
A bit pretentious don't you think?
Gene said it’s hard to make a career from rock nowadays because of the down loading any type of music genre
yes, he was quoted out of context
These guys are so dope and have never changed, KISS on the other hand, They may have had a part in 'killing rock n roll. But its far from gone.
LOL what?
kiss are cardboard crap rock.
This comments section is full of clowns lol
Rock and Roll will never die, it only became much more faster heavier.
In main stream, many of the hundred’s of sub-genres of rock may wither and even die, but the kick-ass rock is ALWAYS there, in some form!
It will never die!
Brian’s response-priceless. Never listen to men wearing make up! 😂
Kiss are only big because they look like ass clowns. Kiss Sucks!!!
@@christopherbingham5092othing yet AC/DC have accomplished that same fame with 250 million record sales world wide and I never said Kiss sucked does my comment say that? No. I like Kiss I also like AC/DC Black Sabbath Dio and so many more. I can’t believe I just saw this response that’s how much I’ve got going on we are in the process of finding a house and gonna buy it hopefully once we pick a state. And then I’m gonna buy myself a guitar once I save up the money and go to lessons. But yeah I never said Kiss sucked
ACDC are the greatest hard rock crew hands down,simplicity done well is classic,fuckin love wee Angus, RIP Mal.Y
When bands like Buckcherry and The Dead Daisies are trying to keep rock alive, I would say it's dead as well.
bucky468 The Darkness are just ridiculous. Airbourne? Eh. Steel Panther? Funny. That's it.
Rock n Roll evolved from the blues, yet blues still exist. The market may be smaller, but it's still alive. I think AC/DC is smart in keeping their sound and not trying to morph into some new genre, because that's what keeps Rock n Roll alive.
I love how angus laughs of people asking rock and roll is being dead and Brian tell don’t listen to the man wearing makeup
Angus Young about KISS : Gene Simmons was very good to us when we came to America. He had gotten us a lot of shows with KISS. Today I am still grateful that he had done this. I remember when I came and saw us live the first time we played in Los Angeles at the Whiskey. He went to the backstage, approached us and said: Hey! I’ve been glued to the wall with your music.
I don’t get kiss never have never will ... AC/DC are truly rock legends
It was KISS who took AC/DC out on their first tour !
"Let There Be Rock" and "Powerage" will never die.
The interviewer did not provide the context in which Gene Simmons said that. It is true what he said; no one buys music anymore so new bands don't have a chance to make it.
That's obviously a false claim by gene. New artists like taylor swift and Rihanna and eminem are some of the best sellers in music history. Whatever your opinion of those artists may be, that could not be the case if no one was buying music anymore.
@@herculesbrofister265 You didn't name ANYONE "new"!! Bands who are signing their first contracts TODAY have to give the record companies part of their frigging T-SHIRT SALES. Bands who have multiple albums nationally released are putting up GoFundMe pages to pay their bills. Between the total takeover of media by multinational corporations who only promote 'product' that lowers the IQ of the masses, and the file-sharing assholes thinking they have the right to put flawless digital copies up on bit torrent, of a song that cost $7,500 worth of studio time to record, mix and master?! No, Gene is a buffoon at this point, but he's correct about this. If you haven't already made a name for yourself, you'd better have a good job and do your music as a hobby, unless you're making cookie-cutter corporate pop crap. Back in the *80s* Frank Zappa, when asked for _advice for the next upcoming Frank Zappa,_ said, "Get a real estate license." His basic message was that unknown musicians can't have a lifelong career doing anything but exactly what the record company tells them to do. That was 35 years ago...
@@herculesbrofister265 did the words Rock and Roll go over your head?
Fucking love Brian, his hearty speaking voice alone I could sit and listen to for hours.
The way the question is asked was way out of context with what Gene Simmons whole conversation involved. If they actually heard the rest of what Simmons said, these two would have probably agreed with him.
Absolutely correct. This is the typical drive by, hair on fire media distortion of today...
For those about to rock, we salute you!!
Rock'n'roll cannot "die" because it was never "alive" in the first place. It is not only music but an idea, philosophy and a lifestyle. Those things cannot die or be killed. A concept will "live" forever.
As long is there media available (cd, radio, satellite, DVDs etc..... RnR will always be around! Real RnR is just to damn addictive!!
Alex Zanon GNR suck.
I love how Angus just goes Heyheyhey 😂😂😈
She took Simmons statement out of context, read the full one! to get a quick negative reaction out of the band, the woman is a wannabe journalist!
I agree. Gene was talking about the lack of showmanship in the more recent rock acts as I recall and not the genre itself.
@@haitolawrence5986 I had a feeling such was the case, but then again this is Gene Simmons we're talking about, here. The man is known to have a mouth on him and he runs it in grand style. Modern bands have nothing to offer most of the time, I concur.
"Gene Simmons recently said, rock and roll is dead."
Angus Young: "He he he he he he"
Gene Simmons is the Harvey Weinstein of rock and roll.
🤣🤣
And you STILL wish you were him.
@@jondunmore4268 nope he is pathetic. All the money in the world cannot buy what he lacks.
@@sheliacole3301 -- Phew, lotta non-KISS fans here, finding a safe space amongst the GenXers hey? Specifically to hear the interviewer stir up crap. Gene didn't mean AC/DC, nor did he mean the genre is dead - there was a totally different context to what he said. If you want to keep blindly being a part of the kewl kids, there's nothing I can say or any links I can refer you to, to change your mind. Ignorance is bliss.
In the words of Deep Purple: "Buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuurn".
It will always be with us, it’s never gonna die, never gonna die
Rock and roll ain’t noise pollution
As a KISS fan (and AC/DC) I didn't like what Angus said at 0:04At the end of the day, KISS took AC/DC out on their Love Gun tour in the States back in '77........Angus should keep quiet.
Johnny Rotten You are way too serious, he makes a JOKE Johnnyboy
Rock n roll will never die cuz people always need the energy it gives
"Intimate Interview with Gene Simmons" For the real story.
Gene is out of his fucking mind !
Angus: and Who’s he ?
Epic ! 😂😂😂
Artists/Bands who formed or where at their biggest from 1962-1992: Bob Dylan, The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, Elton John, Eric Clapton, The Doors, Cream, Deep Purple, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, The Who, Boston, Aerosmith, Pink Floyd, Rush, Queen, AC/DC, Judas Priest, Motorhead, Van Halen, Iron Maiden, Metallica, Megadeth, Guns N' Roses, Pantera, Nirvana, RHCP.........Now just think from 1992-2017 roughly the same amount of time has passed and who do we have to show for it? Korn? Slipknot? The Foo Fighters? Marylin Manson? White Zombie? Nine Inch Nails? Five Finger Death Punch? Staind? Alterbridge? Lmao I hate to say it but Rock is on life support and once those older guys stop touring and fade away it's going to be as dead as disco
@Jonas E. Airbourne?? They Rock!
I like both AC/DC and Kiss and I can understand what Gene meant and where he's coming from, but rock n roll can never die as long as it lives in our hearts, souls and ears!
rock on
"Rock is dead they say, long live rock" - The Who. "The heart of rock and roll is still beating.." - Huey Lewis and the News.... "Been a long time since I rock and rolled." - Led Zep, Etc. Etc.
AC/DC never cared about popularity. Look back at the mid 80's, their albums were dismal. But they pressed on! Rock will never die!
Gene be trollin' ... quote taken out of context!
Rock n roll will never die.
If you look at MTV all the Award shows and what is being played on the airwaves then Gene is right the Pop Culture of bubble gum music is all you hear on the radio Rock need's a surge of new bands with talent to take back the air waves and radio you can't have Dinosaurs like Kiss,Ac Dc,The Stones and other old bands take the lead anymore even though i still love there music
For some fans its dead but bands from the 70s, 80s and 90s keep revisiting it. If they change too much or too little its over.
Whenever some tries to prove Gene wrong on this they only address the headline "Rock Is Dead" they never address the points made in the article that was written. Because most of them didn't read it, if they did they would know he was right.
Yet he's not pumping gas to make a living? Hmmm.
Love these guys their right Rock & Roll will never die
I bet Gene Simmons did not complain when the Beastie Boys were inducted.
Rock n Roll as an artform will never die.Its the way Rock n Roll(along with other forms of music)is distributed.How can you market and sell music these days?I used to love hunting for music at record bins,saving up money to buy records and CD's,placing special orders at Tower and sending away for imports.There was always a surprise and anticipation element when I was a kid.Now I have millions of albums at my fingertips with my Spotify and Google Play.New releases are not that big a deal anymore and much of the music sounds uninspired and canned or obligatory.Remember cassettes,LP's,C.D's people?
My first show was AC/DC opening for KiSS in 1977. I was 11 and want an intro to live music........
just want to tell angus and axel what a wonderful concerts they put on in deroit they nailed it thank you acdc love colleen m
Gene meant theirs nothing new and the kind of Rock we all knew isnt being produced anymore and its not.
Rock 'n' roll isn't dead, it's just changed.
Gene, was not entirely wrong.
AC/DC did it all. God Bless them all.
Gene's kinda right. When was the last time you heard a new AC/DC song on rock radio. Or any new song from and old band on radio. Alternative radio might play a new Chilli Peppers or Radiohead song. But 70s and 80s artists get 0 airplay with new releases.
There's a lot of people thinking exactly that
To be clear. Old Rock n Rollers are dying out. Genres once established remain.
It's the 21st century, radio is not the only means of marketing... if it were, the disgusting crap they play on radio and consider "popular" would never make it because not the majority of people wants and likes that. Thankfully, we can choose.
Just cause some music doesn't play on the radio anymore doesn't mean it's dead
It's dead or dying in America, but there's great new stuff coming out of Europe, especially Sweden! It's an underground niche these days here in the states, with very little cultural relevance, which is sad.
Simmons is generally wrong every time he opens his mouth. Kiss is a gimmick, AC/DC is real rock and roll.
If it aint rock and roll it ain't music. I will rock and roll till the day I die
AC/DC is the best, hip hop is dead, rap is dead if anything, but never rock and roll which is the better kind of music. When they say rock and roll is noise, I say that for rap and hiphop.
Could not agree more.
Rock & Roll is an established category of music just like Classical. If you like it then it’s in. Most people love Rock & Roll.
"It’s his opinion and he’s welcome to it you know. But it’s wrong." Hero 🤘🏻
I love you guys. Rock n roll will never die.
Name one new mega Rock band formed by 20 year olds that has had 3 platinum studio albums in the 21st century?
That is exactly what Gene was referring to in his quote. Haters love to take quotes out of context and run with it!
@@johnhale2353 I know.
Genes just bitter that nobody is buying his kiss caskets.
As a counter, this is where they got the phrase "Rock & Roll will never die."
I love how much people hate Gene Simmons, he's an asshole on purpose. He doesn't care what any of you people think about him. I happen to love the guy. Any person with any kind of common sense would know that Gene is 100% absolutely correct. Taylor Swifts last album sold for 5 times as much as AC/DC's album just did in its first week. Pop, and Country and Hip Hop are all way more popular genres of music nowadays. How is Gene wrong? I love AC/DC, I love KISS, but unfortunately Gene really is right.
AC/DC confirmed in the song "Rock and Roll Ain't Noise Pollution" that Rock N' Roll will never die. Just because it's not as popular as it used to be, doesn't mean it's "dead". It's not like it's completely "dead", just keep finding Rock music and you'll see. :)
Oh dear, how threatening
***** Bro B.B. King died
rock n roll wil hail forever...even in 3000 ad rock n roll wil still be there...coz its been founded by real talents and it is form of gud art......for eg- we stil listen the rock of 60s in 2017...so it wil be there forever...n one thing angus is the most humble n sincere musician i have ever seen in my life...i love u angus...u wil be always remember in history as a best guitarist in whole world
Ive seen the Stones, the Who, Pink Floyd, Page & Plant & many others. AC/DC is the Greatest Live Rock Band of All Time
Rock n Roll ain't noise pollution,
Rock n Roll it will survive
Gene means young bands are not going to get the same opportunity as KISS and AC/DC got. His point was basically the music industry is fucked because everything is for free.
just because Kiss's particular sound is dead doesnt mean rock is dead. AC/DC's music stands the test of time.,
What does Gene Simmons know about Rock and Roll anyway? He's an off key pop star who can BARELY play bass.
Gene was knows rock.he got ac DC to open for kiss in 1977..kiss introduced acdc to North America....
mooch514 Gene is a pop star, when not surrounded by real rockers like Ace, that fact is abundantly clear.
Yes BBD577, and actually now that Madonna and Janet Jackson are gaining weight they have both purchased Gene's old wardrobe.
Barely play bass ?
"who can BARELY play bass"
Just another hater without a clue.
Gene actually is an amazing bass player for his kind of music's sake. Ha always knows how the bass serves the song most. Besides that, everyone in the world can sing the basslines of "Sure know Something", "I was made..." or "Detroit Rock City".
"oi it bloody rocks mate "
If AC/DC stay, Rockn Roll will for ever be
Keep dreaming, they made their $$$
If it ain't dead it's definitely on life support
*Bon Scott, 1977:* tell me the bass player’s name in KISS.
*Angus, 2014:* right, who’s he?
😂
Obviously the lady asking the question didn't hear the Gene Simmons interview. He gave the reasons on why Rock and Roll is dead, which is very profound thinking. She needs to put down the bong. Lol
Gene said that Rock and Roll from 1988 forward is dead. All the great Rock bands were from 1958 - 1988. There are no NEW talent famous rock bands beyond 1988.
Sincerely, Rocks Biggest Fan!
+theberrybest You are right about the interview. Simmons also has made the point that there are no more rock STARS. Rockers used to celebrate the lifestyle and the money that successful bands make. He said that now it is the rappers who do that while the rockers try to be nice and have a social conscience. The bands that can sell out huge venues are the ones that have been around for ages: Sabbath, Ozzy, U2, AC/DC, Stones, Who, Judas Priest, Rush, Aerosmith, Springsteen, etc. If Page and Plant made a reunion announcement that tour would be HUGE. Simmons has also pointed out how the fans have effected the business by downloading material for free, (although I personally blame the record companies for being so greedy they cut their own throats), but Simmons has a point.
+SHOTTY g Black Keys? More like radio rock
+SHOTTY g Yeah well they're nit worse than teeny bopper crap like BVB, Pierce the Veil, 5SOS or Fallout boy, even though I'm only 16 I prefer Genesis (70s), Rush, Deep Purple, Kiss, Black Sabbath, UFO and sometimes some old punk.
+SHOTTY g Yeah, todays Famous "rockers" just aren't on par, they don't have the same magic or musicianship, to many reliances on computers, synthesizers and digitizing everything but at the same time looking like god knows what, they're not identifiable, nothing that sets them apart, just plain boring
***** K..
I love both Kiss and AC/DC....AC/DC were more a dirty tough blue collar Rock n Roll band where Kiss were more a theatrical flamboyant Rock band. Rock will never totally die
keeps comin back like a bloody phoenix
