November 14, 2011, 12 years ago
KISS bassist/vocalist GENE SIMMONS was interviewed by Music-News.com. at The Sanctum Hotel in London, England after the seventh annual Classic Rock Awards; an event which he hosted.
During the interview, when questioned about what advice he would offer GUNS N' ROSES with respect to staying at the top of their game the rock icon concluded:
"You get to sleep in the bed you make. Guns N' Roses could have been the best band in the world and the reason they're not is because of Axl Rose. Drugs, heroin, alcohol and all that but ultimately it falls on Axl Rose's shoulders."What could he have done to change that path?
"A good beating would have helped. When you misbehaved as a little kid there's someone there to give you a what for. Then when you become a grown-up who's there to set you straight?"Check out the full interview below (skip to around 4:50 for the Guns N' Roses comments):
