Gene Simmons Says Mick Jagger, Bono 'Would Pass Out' Performing Like KISS

Mick Jagger's got moves so good Maroon 5 wrote a song about them, but Gene Simmons doesn't think the Rolling Stones frontman could last more than 30 minutes performing in the gear he and his KISS bandmates don onstage.

“You got to understand — we love Jagger and Bruno Mars and Bono and anybody else, they’re all great, but if you put those guys — Beyoncé, put Beyoncé in my outfit with seven-to-eight-inch platform heels, dragon boots that each weigh as much as a bowling ball,” he told Entertainment Tonight. “The entire outfit, studs, leather and armor is about 40 pounds. The guitar and the studs is 12 pounds by itself. Then, you got to spit fire, fly through the air, and do that for two hours. They would pass out within a half hour.”

Elsewhere in the interview, Simmons revealed that KISS wouldn't be able to tour much longer. "We are the hardest-working band out there and take pride in it," he said. "And not every band should be out there too long. You've got to have some pride and not stay too long. Always keep them wanting. I'm the most blessed and grateful guy in the world to be able to be in a band where I can wear more makeup and higher heels than your girlfriend."
