Simmons is an anachronism. None of the bands he has signed have done anything in the USA where it counts. He'll do a deal with anyone for money. Satan, are you listening?

genes just angry because he still doesnt know how to play bass

... Bob is merely trying to show musicians the smoke and mirrors in the industry - that labels don't have the majority of power anymore and to build one's career from grass-roots - facts ANYONE would like to know EXCEPT the major labels who depend on naive assholes to prostrate themselves before them. Want more facts? Google 'The problem with music' by Steve Albini and read where the money REALLY goes!

Gene showed up in Canada to sign 2 bands. Out of all the bands that showcased for him...all the bands in this great country that "gave the world Joni Mitchell and Neil Young" (Gene's words to George Strombo on The Hour) he picks: Down With Webster and Stereos. What the fuck? 2 of the shittiest bands I've ever heard who won't be around long enough to be forgotten.

don't forget being a hell of a showman and making brilliant career moves dumb ass.

Who has sold more LPs?
Gene Simmons is far and away the BIGGEST TOOL the music industry has ever had to suffer through. And anyone here who thinks Lefsetz doesn't know exactly what he's talking about, is a complete fool. If Gene were even remotely right about Lefsetz being a nobody, why did he (1) go so upset over the email, and (2) wind up debating him in a public forum like this?
Answer: Because Gene Simmons is an utter fool.
