- KISS frontman Gene Simmons and bandmate Paul Stanley are spotted checking in for their flight before heading to Europe for their upcoming tour. Simmons is asked his thoughts on the passing of actor Ray Liotta, and states, "I knew Ray, he was a very nice man. Life is what happens to you while you're busy making plans. What a great, great actor." Simmons goes on to clarify his previous "rock is dead" comments, stating, "As soon as fans were able to download and file share for free, new bands didn't have a chance to make a living and that breaks my heart."

Nice to see these two just being normal guys in an airport. I think I would faint if I saw them in person. Been listening to them since I was seven years old, which was when Love gun came out in 77'.
Imagine going to an airport and gene and Paul are there
I know what egos
4:12 - I SEE YOU! Cool footage though, thanks. On their way to Europe for a big tour!
I love when gene is nice
Tony Vera I adore how awesome Gene Simmons is to you every single time he's talked with you. Never have I seen him brush you off. Amazing Man for sure and his outlook on life is spot-on.
👍♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Love you guys
Gene Simmons charisma ✌️
You are really great Guys Gene and Paul very symphatic and emphatic
That is why I still buy CD's. Or from independent musicians. I like support.
I agree totally with Genie
Gene Simmons you and Paul you both have for ever the greatest band in the word
Here’s my opinion on this I think the main thing keeping rock and metal alive is the fans and now that pop and rap is now king so to speak people are more drawn to auto tuned lyrics and drum machines and not so much shredding guitar solos killer drum solos and insane vocals anymore so what I think is that as long as more people get introduced to the genre and more new metal heads enter the scene rock and metal will live on although I do agree with gene on bands not getting a chance to make it due to the level of streaming and buying music for free
Before the companies were looking for musicians and gave money to them to make contracts !!!! Gene îs right,as long as everything is free those Young bands will not last long
*WHERES THE PRIVATE JET? REST OF BAND/*
Hi Tony Vera!
Hi 🖐🖐🖐🖐🦉
@@tonyvera1902 👍😀🙏
@@seattlescofflaws 👍♥️🦉
Where’s the KISS jet? 🛩
Spot on!
I am 57 and rock as my generation knew it, is dead. Maybe there is a new type of rock that most of you think is thriving, but I have moved on to other things in life. Just my 2 cents!
Kiss forever gene cool bonne retraite
I've been a KISS fan for 40+ years, and this is the one sentiment I disagree with. Music piracy has nothing to do with lack of big bands. Major labels have everything to do with big bands. Apple (which I am another fan) kind of killed it with the iTunes Store and buying single tracks only. Applications like GarageBand paved the way for many to do their own thing. Bandcamp contributes to that. Radio still plays garbage today. From 2000 on, any new band that emerged are just crap. Too much corporate crap, like these television shows like America's Got Talent and American Idol. Like who the F is anyone kidding? Music has been shoved into the background, because the corporates do it. No one else. Piracy actually introduced me to tons of artists I'd never know of otherwise, and in turn, I purchase those CDs and LPs. It's never the other way around. If you aren't in it, you most certainly don't know a single thing about it.
That's not true at all lol NOBODY buys records anymore, Major labels want to make money out of sales and not even big bands like Kiss or Elton John will ever make a new album go gold or platinum. New bands are fucked and will never make big bugs by producing albums. Maybe they can make a decent living when touring most of the year but new rock bands will never become millionaires and iconic like The Beatles, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath, Elvis or BB King.
Right. There are no new Beatles. Most bands nowdays won't make good money on the count of free downloads. I'm glad I bought my CD's. I never take free downloads.
I enjoyed Simmons’ comments with respect to how after around ‘88 music lost something special. There’s still a lot of great music done, but it isn’t like it what it was, as he mentioned, during that golden 30 year period starting in the 50s. But there’s still a lot of great talent out there-we just need to find them.
👍♥️🌟🌟🌟
He was probably referring the the Hot in The Shade album. He’s right. It was sh1t.

@dirtbag daryal I guess you do not listen to music when you play it. KISS had a load of great music but then again you have to know music when you hear it. Are they in the same level as Judas Priest or Iron Maiden, hell no. But what they do is great. Saint and Sinner, Thrill In The Night, and the list goes on and on.
You are biased. I used to say the same shit. The charts are full of incredible artists right now and have been since the late 80s...
I thought they had a private jet to travel around the globe. They have everything, from kiss condoms to Kiss caskets... I really thought they traveled by Kiss Jets. Well, it's very cool to see them at the airport like any one else though. And I agree with what Gene said. It's very hard to make a living if you cannot charge properly your art.
Was thinking that exact same thing!
And as long as I got breath, the death of rock
Is the death of me and rock is dead
Well, we're dead, alright, yeah
Rock is dead.......
-Song by the DOORS....
JIM MORRISON, HELL YEAH!
Gene is right
Why don't you have the other 2 members of the band in the video?
They do what they’re told. Probably hoovering the limo before catching a service bus to the next town.
They were carrying baggage on their backs from the airport to the hotel... 😂
ASK LENNIE !!!!!
The John Lennon lyric he’s been misquoting for twenty years is : “life is what happens to you while you’re making OTHER plans”.
Get a life.
No one cares what you think.
Napster began in 1999
Can anyone explain to me why these rock legends are traveling like "normal" folks instead of by passing all this and getting on their private jet??
They have a private jet... I think they're just checking in, and then boarding.
Won’t die if we resurrect it
Everything is invented.
Gene is not wrong about rock bands/artists having a much harder time to make a living and get exposure, but rock is not dead, younger generations who like inferior genre artists are musicially brain dead
There were tons of horrible songs in the charts from 58 - 88... They were balanced by good ones at least. :-)
EXACTLY !!
You're biased. Old people in the 70s said the same about music then. Don't be a cliche, come on.
@@bw2937 everyone is biased
YUP.... 😎👍🏻
Money is everything to Gene, how sad.
honestly he's right, no matter how greedy he is.
Shit! I thought Paul Stanley was Kamala Harris for a split second 😅
*OMG XTRA SLOW WALK JUST WANTING TO BE RECOGNIZED. LOOZZAAS*
I don't know if Rock is Dead.
Put on the radio and you tell me
It's just the instruments that are out of style. It's more about the producers creativity than specific instruments now. It's much less limited now. The spirit of rock and roll is still alive in other genres.
I believe Gene should open his ears and eyes to a guy named Tobias Forge, I think he's doing a hell of a job carrying on theatrical hard rock with Ghost. Just one example...
Can we get more angelina jolie please
See The man has spooken to you about you remember that's the fact Jack
👍♥️🌟🌟🌟🌟
So what Gene is really saying the business of rock and roll is dead. Not the music itself. Why doesn't he just come out and say it that way?
Last night's performance by KISS at the Barcelona Rockfest was embarrassing. It looked like it was on playback. Eric Singer's attempt at a drum solo was not good. When compared to the bands that played before KISS. KISS is just a caricature of itself. No energy, on playback (or semi-playback) Boring and even the effects and masks won't save it. A lot of people were leaving for the subway during the KISS concert, me too. And I'm a KISS fan. Well, actually I was :-). Good bye KISS.
Rock is dead whatever Gene
Rock is dead, roll is alive!
JS Bach made enough to survive. Quit your whining, Gene.
Who are the new Beatles? Pains me to say it but Taylor Swift is bigger than The Beatles ever were. Where i live i. Melbourne she is playing a stadium that holds 100,000 people and she has sold out 3 nights and could have done 5. No other artist in the world can do that. Gene is a little out of touch with his comments.
KISS stopped being cool in 1977, Gene is a weirdo old man saying napster took over in 1988 like what
Nothing to see here, just two living legends walking alone in the airport
16:40 That outfit drives me 19yearsold.Monster nuts on you and you have that curvy body. You did a good job modelingx it too. Also like the last outfit 20:11.. Love how the garter belts connect to the stockings and sheer top
These fools flying coach? :-D
HOW WOULD YOU KNOW FOOL !!! THEY FLY FIRST CLASS AS ALWAYS 🥰
It’s NOT DEAD ☠️!!!
