Gene Simmons only like Katy Perry and Madonna in resto
Quote:
Simmons connected the populism of his restaurant with everything from disco's inclusion in the Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame ("What an insult to the memory of Little Richard and Chuck Berry to have disco artists who don't write their own songs and play their own instruments. It's a sham to have Grandmaster Flash and Disco Bob and MC Criminal in there") to Kurt Cobain's suicide ("I say this respectfully to him – '**** off'") to, well, pretty much any music made after 1990 other than Katy Perry ("I love her voice") and Madonna ("a true rock star").
Rock & Brews itself resembles a less-tacky Hard Rock Café, and if we were to call the menu fare "unpretentious," Simmons would likely be insulted that we used a four-syllable word. Though the 100 beers on tap appeared to be more of a draw than the food, servers milled about with soft pretzels, pizza, pulled pork, meatballs and fried calamari. Philosophically, this is food Simmons considers to be timeless the way "jeans, your leather jacket, your T-shirt" are.
Rock & Brews boasts absolutely no pretense whatsoever that this is anything other than brand extension for Gene Simmons. Simmons doesn't fancy himself to be a restauranteur and certainly not a connoisseur. Rock & Brews is unabashedly American and run like a business by a businessman – "we'll have 50 in under 2 years and my goal is 500 is 5 years," Simmons said. "Ask Starbucks – if it's good, we'll have two or three on every corner. And my track record's pretty goddamn good."
I don't think you guys are reading this right because he has said the opposite about both of those girls in the past.

Meaning he didn't include Madonna and Katy Perry in his restaurant.
VERY random but I'm not complaining. Of course he likes Madonna and the heir to Madonna's throne...
