"Winehouse not a legend" says KISS frontman
Quote:
Kiss star Gene Simmons has insisted that Amy Winehouse and Kurt Cobain are not music legends.
The 'God of Thunder' singer expressed his opinion to Team Rock Radio that modern pop music has yielded fewer true icons.
"Let me see - Elvis Presley, The Beatles, Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, The Who and just on and on," Simmons insisted. "And through the '70s, Aerosmith, Kiss, Led Zeppelin."
He continued: "Now from 1984 until today, name one superstar that's bigger than their music, and not just somebody that's recorded one or two records, but another Queen or another AC/DC? None, you can't name one.
"Kurt Cobain - no, that's one or two records. That's not enough. Amy Winehouse - that's one or two records. That's not enough. What, just 'cause you died, that makes you an icon? No, no." (source)
