Couldnt be that bad a Bass player

The Kiss reunion tour led the list of the most successful roadshows of 1996 by grossing $43.6 million. The group's return to makeup helped sell more than 1.2 million concert tickets at 92 shows in 75 cities.

KISS has had 24 Gold albums and 10 Platnum

How much have you all made playing bass?
Or anything else for that matter

I played drums and sang lead 75% of the time when I was younger for 14 years.   Won 8 Battle of the Bands contests.    Made a few bucks, nothing significant.    Now after being bored with drumming, I'm already working on the geetar.   I really wish I could get my hands on some of my band's DAT's.    

But, that being said.   I still think Kiss is a VERY overrated band in the "lores of time".   Maybe if you lived in Michigan you'd get tired of hearing "Detroit Rock City"?   Maybe you forget the 80's streak of their "cookie-cutter, let's get in on this hair band sound, train"?    

The ONLY album I could EVER listen too when I was younger was "Hotter than Hell".

Agree with the 80s. Unfortunately its a trend that continues to this day.

Liking or disliking a group is a mater of taste.
Me
Like I said I never liked Bowie
something about his sound that grates on me like chineese water torture.

There are a bunch of other Top bands I too think are VERY over rated.
While I can appreciate a few of their songs. Among the list of performers are
The Rolling Stones
Bob Dylan (Great lyrics. But hat voice! OUCH)
Van Halen
Bon Jovi
Bruce Springstein

To name a few

I view them as ok. But nowhere near that staus they climbed to

I've heard that Brittney Spears sold quite a few tickets in her touring days as well.  I guess that makes her a phenomenal vocalist with talent equal or greater than that of Gene Simmons.  Ticket sales = talent

Just because albums and tickets sold doesn't mean you have to like them.  I never understood why people take it personal when other people don't like musicians they look up to.  Music is all about choice and taste.  Your "filet mignon" may be my steamy cow ****.  It's what makes the business go round and keeps my job interesting.

Oh no?

Gene Simmons Bass solo

You're honor, the people rest.



For comparison:
John Entwistle

I saw that.
And yes it sucked
One bass solo
Still doesnt prove your case though.

Ever seen a  Dead concert? LMAO (and I love the Dead)

Still he has how many in the audience cheering him for it?

Fortunately for alot of bands in the end it isnt some professional that ultimately decides talent.
Its the fans

Quite honestly
While better then the one Simmons did.

I was equally as bored with Entwistle's solo as well

Couple good sounding riffs with alot of senseless gibberish in between

That's it, you've just lost all credibility in this discussion. He didn't play a single lick that wasn't cool and yet he never lost the groove.

On the other hand, Gene Simmons bass sounds like well timed farts.

In YOUR opinion.

Mine differs

to me it was mostly boring gibberish with a couple of good licks

Just because you can move your fingers really fast doesnt prove greatness

[myelo]

Well it's not just my opinion. If you're interested, bop on over to somewhere like talkbass.com and try that sorta talk.

I can't believe I'm arguing with someone who thinks Gene Simmons is a good bass player and John  Eintwistle isn't -- it's like the twilight zone. What's next, singing the praises of Danny Partidge's chops?

Oh man, things are really starting to heat up!

And you point outot me where I said Simmons was a great player and
Eintwistle wasnt.

I stated my opinion based on the two links provided

At best I said Simmons "couldnt be all that bad"

And at worst I said I was found the Eintwistle solo boring and had alot of gibberish

reguardless of how good we think they are and arent
they each have sounds that suit their style and group they are performing with.

I dounbt Eintwistle would fit in anyt better with KISS then Simmons would fit in with any of John Entwistle's groups
