Kiss Challenge U2 And Rolling Stones To Stadium Duel

In an interview with London radio station XFM 104.9, Gene Simmons challenged U2 and The Rolling Stones to a stadium-off. In a clearly combative mood, Kiss’s God Of Thunder wanted to show Bono, Jagger et al how to rock an enormodome.

“I would love to play on the same stage as U2, The Stones and anybody out there who considers themself a world champion.

“You come on up on that stage with us baby. Show me what you got, and then we’ll show you what the big boys do.”

[My note to Gene: Real "big boys" don't require a bunch of gimmicks in order to perform, such as elaborate makeup, costumes, pyrotechnics, aerial apparatus -- and tongue extensions.]
