Gene SimmonsKiss star Gene Simmons has slammed bands like Radiohead for putting on boring live shows - insisting fans deserve to see spectacular performances from their idols. Simmons is convinced that because fans often pay a lot of money to go a concert, groups have a responsibility to make it worth their while.

And the bassist can't stand it when bands put minimal effort into their shows.

He says, "I admire bands like Radiohead, but the idea of being that serious? F-k that, get up on stage and blow s--t up! Bands that stand by their microphones and strum their guitars are forgetting one important point - people are bringing their eyes, it's audio and visual. 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 (when people say), 'I f--king hate their music but that's the best show I ever saw in my life.'"
