I'm tired of Gene Simmons.

Prince >>>>>> KISS

In every way.

I'm not tired of Simmons. I just recognize that he's a marketer. That's what he does. As for rock/music/bands, KISS was a great act, but I'd hardly call Gene and the gang 'artists', at least not on any level that approaches Prince.

As a lover of music - what I call 'real' music, the kind where human beings actually take the time to master an instrument and use it to create art, well, Prince ranks high on my list.

Gene is right. Sort of. I don't think Prince committed suicide, and I think the guy was probably in a great deal of pain, and I think addiction is an evil thing that, unless you've experienced it, you don't have a clue.

Gene should hush right now. Everybody should just hush. None of us know what it was like to be Prince. We cannot relate. Everybody just shut up and wait until all the details are in before we start calling him a drug addict or suicidal or anything else other than the brilliant musician and the genuinely caring human being he was.

Artistically, Prince MUCH MUCH MUCH > > > > > Kiss.
