Kiss star Gene Simmons has been talking again, as he does, and this time has criticised Radiohead for not doing interesting live shows. He thinks that there's no point in just standing there with a guitar, you've got to engage your audience visually as well. He may have a point there, really. A number of times I've been at gigs and thought that I might as well be listening to the music in an adjacent another room, having a nice sit down and a drink, and instead of standing staring at four men virtually immobile on a stage.
Anyway, here's what Mr Simmons says: "I admire bands like Radiohead, but the idea of being that serious? Fuck that, get up on stage and blow shit up. If you're not fulfilling the visual part it's like watching a movie with your eyes closed. One of the biggest compliments we get is, 'I fucking hate their music but that's the best show I ever saw in my life'".
