Gene Simmons mentions Prince in interview PR.com: Since you seem to be the ultimate entrepreneur, when you started KISS, when you co-founded KISS I should say, was it simply a means to an end for you?
Gene Simmons: It always is and always will be, because rock n' roll is home to people who would otherwise be asking the next person if they'd like some fries with that. PR.com: Well, that's if you're successful at it… Gene Simmons: What I meant was that if it wasn't for rock n' roll you'd be at McDonalds because the people who inhabit the world of popular music can't do anything. They have no skills, and we fall into this kind of business that reacts to charisma. We're not the best singers, and we're not the best dancers. Very few people… I mean, Prince is an exception, but … nobody can read or write music. We're all just self-taught and we do what we do, and that's sort of it. | |

Gene and Paul both have been long time P fans. They both went to see P in concert in New York on his Dirty Mind tour and again, twice, at The Forum on the Purple Rain tour. SynthiaRose said "I'm in love with blackguitaristz. Especially when he talks about Hendrix."

Yeah... I think Gene is kind of gross, but he definitely earns some cool points | |

Yeah,...I had lost respect for him in the past but after watching him do an interview with Henry Rollins,...I realized this guy knows and has a lot to say about the music industry! One thing he commented on was that rock musicians have lost their bravado and edge. Everyone wants to pretend that money & women are not an issue. Rappers are the new rock stars who don't hide the fact that they make lots of money, drive nice cars, and have women partying around them day and night!  Intelligent people talk about ideas. -->Average people talk about things. --> Small people talk about other people. | |

Nice quote. Love him or hate him, you've gotta admit that Gene has always had his head on straight. |

Gene is wrong: Prince can't read music neither | |

Very nice God doesn't just tells me how much he "LOVE's" me, God shows me how much he "LOVE's" me. Both telling and showing "LOVE" means to "LOVE". They go hand in hand. You can't have one with out the other. Something is spoken, then followed by an action. That is | |

That's kind of funny. He seems as though he'd be one of those people who would b uncomfortable going to his concerts. | |

I think he actually was referring to Prince being able to sing and dance. Most 'rockers' can't really sing and sure as hell can't dance.. but Prince can rock with the best of them... out sing most of them... and still dance his little ass off. | |

Prince CAN read music.
Not always, but for a several years now he can... he mentioned it in an interview that he finally got it. | |
