KISS Recording 'Venus And Mars' For PAUL MCCARTNEY Tribute Album
August 12, 2010, 14 years ago
In an interview with The Weekender's Nikki M. Mascali, it is revealed that KISS are recording a cover of the WINGS classic 'Venus And Mars' for an upcoming PAUL MCCARTNEY tribute album.
An excerpt from the article reads:
Fans don’t go to KISS shows to hear an agenda. They don’t go to find out who they should vote for in the next election or to hear the band’s opinion on an oil spill.
“We don’t talk about acid rain or who’s going to save the whales or what political party you should vote for — we don’t care about that. Most people yawn when they start to hear that,” bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons told the Weekender from Los Angeles where the band was recording 'Venus And Mars' for an upcoming Paul McCartney tribute album.“Next time I want to find out about acid rain and the rainforest, I hope it’s not from a rock star. In the same way, I don’t want to find out from a scientist what other song I should put in the set, so I think rock stars should shut up, get up on stage and do what they’re designed to do — otherwise, you’re not qualified to tie my shoelaces.”
