Chill Out About the 100 Greatest Drummers Of All Time (Rolling Stone)

My Open Letter To "The Demon"

Gene Simmons decided to let his grumpy old demon out in a recent interview with Rolling Stone magazine.

Lowlights: He doesn't find hip-hop music melodic, thinks Rock music is dead, and wants Lady Gaga to get off the stripper pole.
