Modern foolishness sends me over the edge. Then I play some Yes or any other pre-1989 band, and that's when we get close to the edge. Right where we ought to be. Mmhmm.

I guess it's time to push and lobby for their addition.... 
And to movie fans all over the world: KISS gets even proggier once you've seen their movie, KISS vs the park monsters or something like that... It's so incredibly atrocious....
.... but it's still more fun than Thom Yorke...  |

You do realise don't you that Kiss released a double concept album a few years ago called 'Music From The Elder', featuring a full orchestra & produced by Bob Ezrin (of Floyd's 'The Wall' fame)?
Prog Related anyone?

Nick Lowe once said that "groups like Yes and Genesis were about as exciting as a used kleenex." I loved Nick Lowe at the time (it was shortly after my Kiss period back in High School) but the statement got me so intrigued that I bought bought Foxtrot and Nursery Cryme (ostensibly for a friend who really did want them) just to satisfy my own curiosity. My friend never did get his records.  I still have a soft spot for Nick and for Kiss though. No use whatever for Radiohead.

Well, since this thread has already spanned an astonishing 7 pages, I might as well add my 50 cents...
I'm a HUGE Radiohead fan. They are, hands down, my favourite band. And I do listen to A LOT of music. For that reason alone I have the right to disagree with Gene. However, despite the fact that I don't like KISS at all (Gene included), I have to admit he has a point...
I'll start with the beaten-to-death comparison of Radiohead and Muse. Muse are, supposingly, just a bunch of Radiohead rip-offs. They are actually my next favourite band, so the accusations might be valid, but that's beside the point. And despite my love for both Radiohead and Muse, I can't but agree that Muse's live performances are MUCH, MUCH better and exciting. They are simply AWESOME live. Whereas Radiohead are, let's say, minimalistic. Now, don't get me wrong, I love Radiohead the way they are but I can certainly see why someone, even Gene, might say something like that. The music is superb, yes, but the delivery of the songs live is often sort of subdued, for the lack of a better word. And while fans absolutely love Radiohead's live performances, and in the end it's all that should matter, I myself might enjoy a more active, wild Radiohead. I mean, take their Astoria DVD (1994 performance). It proves they can be wild, while retaining their musical force.
Though of course Radiohead are special precisely because of all these accusations. And while they're certainly not a unique, best-in-the-world progressive rock band, I think they fully deserve the right to do things their own way. Besides, they ARE an album band, unlike Muse, for example. Their music is supposed to be enjoyed being listened to on a stereo, not at a live gig.

True. After hearing how some state that they humbly make music for music's sake, then finding out the battle of egos that goes on behind the scenes, it's refreshing that Mr Weitz is blunt about his goals. Anyone who doesn't want the attention, fame, and success, should really stay in the garage or basement and keep their music for themselves.

Gene once said you get into rock for the money and/or sex, and if you say otherwise, you're a liar. His only true ambition was to get filthy rich and wear out his willy. He succeeded!

I think Radiohead is the kind of band you need to see in a small venue and not an ampitheater. Where as, Kiss is a band that has lots of flash but not much else. Visuals are important in a live show obviously because you go to the show to see the band. I find watching the musicians do their work is quite rewarding especially if they are good at what they do. They can dance about if thats what gets them going, or they can stand perfectly still. As long as their heart is in the music then you know the show is going to be good. Even if someone is completely motionless but plays with all their heart and soul you can hear it and see the energy going through the instrument and it is amazing.
With Gene you probably don't see that so much considering where his heart lies.

I just told my dad about the whole Radiohead and Gene situation and he said :
"Gene Simmons is a freakin' circus act. He thinks that him shooting fire out of his mouth is the coolest thing in the world...dumbass."
I love my dad

Gene Simmons insults Radiohead
I can see that you guys will never become Jazz aficionados. and back to the purposes of this topic "Kiss" is Circus show ruled by clowns starting with Gene Simmons. How can he dare compare compare his freaks show with Radioheads?can you imaging radiohead with make up and bitting blood capsules on stage? So, I would say Man that man is a freak! Oh God Please Hell NO!!! I would probably never liked Radiohead in the first place.
