Gene Simmons

“We don’t talk about acid rain or who’s going to save the whales or what political party you should vote for — we don’t care about that. Most people yawn when they start to hear that,” bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons told the Weekender from Los Angeles where the band was recording “Venus and Mars” for an upcoming Paul McCartney tribute album.

KISSONLINE



After being invited, we chose and sang Venus and Mars/Rockshow for the McCartney tribute album. Other performers include Billy Joel, Garth Brooks, BB King and Paul Rodgers. The backing tracks were all recorded by Paul McCartney's touring band. We consider it an honor to be asked to participate on a tribute to one of the most influential and greatest singer/songwriters of all time. Not to mention, a major forces in the most important band of all time, The Beatles. Wow!

This is pretty bitchin'!! Thanks for this heads up man!!

I think they'll do a great job on Rockshow. Cool tour book too

Awesome that it's still up there!! I'm still listening to it on a regular basis!! I'm still trying to piece together my review from last Friday Nights show. It was unbelievable & I loved the setlist!! I stayed away from looking at any setlists so I'd be surprised & I was with a few songs!!! It was the first time since '98 that Paul didn't fly during Love Gun (it was during another song)
