KISS Frontman Comments On 'American Idol' Appearance

May 26, 2009

KISS performed their classic songs "Detroit Rock City" and "Rock And Roll All Nite" on the May 20 season finale of "American Idol", the annual reality show and singing competition. They were introduced by finalist Adam Lambert, who sang the KISS classic "Beth" prior to the band taking the stage (with Adam joining in).

Commented KISS guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley: "Wow! We're already over 1 MILLION YouTube views of our 'American Idol' appearance where we were joined by finalist Adam Lambert. By all reports, it was the high point of the show, and this seems to confirm it! Adam, we are sure, is destined for great things and with supreme confidence and pride we can promise you that the new KISS album and tour will show you that we are in peak form and never better. You never fail to amaze us. Now it's our turn!"

In a post on his official web site, KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons offered his opinion on whether Adam Lambert has a promising career in rock 'n' roll.

"Respectfully, I don't think Adam is a rock singer," Simmons wrote. "He sounds much more convincing singing ballads and Broadway shows. His voice doesn't seem to have a 'rock quality.' But, I'm sure he's going to do just fine."
