The Limewire Generation (Rant #1)

Fuck Gene Simmons. Fuck KISS. They aren't rock stars or guitar heroes. They're fucking ATM machines with make-up. Their music sucks and the only reason they're so rich and famous is because they're living action figures who sell their faces left and right. I would bet a good 60% of their money isn't even from record sales but selling fucking "KISS condoms".
What proof do I have that KISS isn't rock? In a recent interview, Mr. Simmons was bitching about downloaders and the record company being stupid about their money making ideas. Heres a link:

Now stop me if I'm wrong, but last time I checked, to be a great musician doesn't exactly amount to how much money you rank in. The only thing you need to sell records these days is a good marketing plan and any random sucker with a face. As KISS previously proved, you don't need talent to sell records. Which the SADDEST thing I have ever written that is true.

There are so many great bands these days that go unnoticed in favor of the "flavor of the month". Thye record company constantly overlooks talent and focuses on what can make money the quickest. And what's worst is that we buy into this notion that the only music we should listen to is what's "hot" at the moment. The only solace I get from this is that once the flavor of the month has faded away, it'll be the end of them.
Here's a quote:
"There is nothing in me that wants to go in there and do new music. How are you going to deliver it? How are you going to get paid for it if people can just get it for free?"

That is what Gene Simmons actually said. Another thing that bothers me about absolute wastes of sperm like this is his relelntless hunger for money. He obviously doesn't care about his fans if he's saying stupid shit like this. He never did. Everytime he'd say thank you to his fans during concerts was a blatent lie. What he was really saying was "thank you for seeling your nut sacks to me!". Now if he's up on making money, then record sales and downloaders shouldn't be a bother. Most of the time people download music so that they can test the waters of music and not have to waste money on something they may possibly hate. Not to mention that if they like it they'll more than likely go out and buy more of the same and go to the shows and buy the merchandise. You'll end up being reimbursed for the music that was downloaded. If your not so good, then you don't deserve to be making money for your crappy crappy music.

Gene Simmons, wipe the dollar bills from your eyes and take those coins out of your ass and wrap your grotesquly long tongue around this: Downloading will not stop anytime soon. You have more money and things going for you that entire cities will ever experience in their lifetimes combined so you shouldn't be complaining about ANYTHING...so shut the fuck up and sit the fuck down. Your moment in the limelight is LONG gone, so stop acting bitter about that. Go sell your condoms and keep your mouth shut!

And "Detroit Rock City" was a SHITTY movie! Just like the song.
