Gene Simmons talks Adam Lambert


Adam Lambert lit up the stage with KISS on the Finale of American Idol a couple of months ago, but lately it's seemed like KISS frontman Gene Simmons has been trashing Adam. Gene sat down for a chat with AOL TV and actually spoke a little more about what he's meant by telling Adam to "shut the f*ck up."

I don't think I've been talking smack at all. In fact, if anything, I've been soft-peddling. He's enormously talented, best talent 'American Idol' has had, but I think he killed his career because now the conversation is not about his talent but about his sexual preference. He's done. You're forcing people to deal with issues they may not be interested in. Life is unfair, and the masses don't all live in L.A. They live in Wisconsin and Nebraska, and you're on crack if you think the same rules apply there. My advice is still the same, shut the f*ck up, just sing and let people say whatever they want. But I do wish him the best because he's got all the talent in the world. If only the world was not homophobic, but it is. I would be the first one to vote for equal rights for gay women and men, and get the church and the state to stop telling everybody how to lead their lives, but do I think he's killed his career? Oh, in an instant. I hope I'm completely wrong. I hope he becomes the next Beatles and proves me wrong.

Of course, this is a guy who constantly sticks out his tongue because it's the only thing he's really known for, so maybe he's the one that should shut the f*ck up. His 15 minutes ended about 28 minutes ago.
