The new album solo of Gene Simmons brings a version of Prodigy's Firestarter, from the album The Fat Of The Land! Sanctuary Records website brings the mp3 for download: Firestarter - Gene Simmons

For me, this version is amazing! And you guys, approve ou disapprove?
 
As a Prodigy fan, it made me want to cover myself in gasoline and set myself on fire.

And the video? I hope to God it's a parody. I doubt it though.

Agreed.

Yeah, it's powerful alright. Powerfully shitty. I'm sorry, but there is no way to be kind when describing that desecration.

He pauses to make everything sound more dramatic, it's pretty funny.

And the FIY-YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA[...]AAAAAAAA! is pretty funny too.

BTW, it's not just kareoke though, it's way diff. from the original IIRC.

arg.. curse you opa-ages.... =\
 
Good thing for my well being that there wasn't a desert eagle within reach when I saw the commercial for this album.

This song reminds me of Will Ferrell as David Goulet doing rap hits.
 
Good gawd. I saw the commercial for his shitty new album on TV and it made it VERY clear that Gene needs to stop making music. NOW. I can't believe anyone would take this shit seriously and consider it decent music. It SUCKS. Imagine if Beavis and Butthead were still around. What would they say about it? Probably something like this:

Beavis: Hey Butthead. Who is this guy?

Butt-head: Ugh.....I dunno.

Beavis: I think we've seen him before.

Butt-head: Ugh...no.

Beavis: Yeah yeah Butthead! He used to be in KISS!

Butt-head: No way Beavis. Those guys were cool. This guy doesn't even look like them.

Beavis: Yeah yeah....um...he used to wear a mask!

Butt-head: Huh huh...yeah. That's because if he went up there looking like this guy, he'd never score any chicks.

Beavis: Yeah. Heh heh. They'd be all, "Excuse me sir, but are you guys done doing soundcheck yet? We're waiting for KISS to come out".

Butt-head: Uh huh huh huh huh huh

Beavis: Heh heh hm heh



This is just Gene's newest way to "grab-cash". Sellout fucker. Almost as bad as the official "KISS Casket". $4,000.00 to have your casket sporting KISS logos so that everyone can fucking laugh at you in the afterlife.

Useless Gene story:

I once went to a Playboy convention in Hollywood that housed every living playmate, and they were in attendance to sign autographs and take photos with people, etc (super big names like Anna Nicole and Pam Anderson were not there). My friend took me there so he could get his Kiss 8x10, which he'd had signed by the other three band members, signed by Gene.

So Gene comes out, does his tongue shtick, and then signs autographs for about eight minutes before getting up and walking away. The crowd followed him, and my friend managed to get up there and hand Gene the photo, along with a silver pen (the other signatures were in silver). Gene took someone else's blue magic marker and signed the picture, then handed it back to my friend. Turns out that it had taken my friend like five years to get the other three autographs, so he was a little pissed that they weren't all the same... plus, the majority of the photo was black, so the blue didn't show up well.

He stopped, looked down at it, and was like, "You fucking greedy Jew, I'll put you in an oven!" and then he took off running. I caught up to him in the parking lot, and we went home.

I think Gene's version of the song is OK, but it does border on being karaoke. The video is really awful. Haven't seen the commercial for the album, but I can only imagine how stupid it is.

Gene's last solo album was in 1978. You can't tell me that -- after being in a band and writing songs for the last 25 years -- he couldn't come up with better stuff than what's on his new album. (Yes, I've heard it all.) It's bad. Simply awful.
