The perfect songs according to Gene Simmons of the Kiss

Guest of a recent episode of the Podcast “The School of Greatness“ conducted by Lewis Howes, a Simmons Gene It was asked to appoint some of the bigger musicians and songs of songs that he has ever seen or listened to. The bassist and singer of the Kiss therefore underlined the importance of the Beatles in the history of music, also explaining those who According to him “they are called Perfect songs“.

“The Beatles are above and beyond anything has been seen in music in the last 200 years“, said Simmons:” Since the time of the Renaissance such a thing had happened. We must understand that they were active for not even a decade And they came from a place, Liverpool, where nothing ever happened. High unemployment, no experience, no curriculum, nothing of nothing “. Continuing in his speech, Simmons then started to intone” I Want To Hold Your Hand “and” She Loves You “, to affirm:”It is a sophisticated agreementyou understand music. “he added:

“We do some examples: ‘(I Can’t Get no) Satiscation’ of the Rolling Stones is one of the greatest songs and it takes about 40 seconds to get to the first refrain. With ‘Sunshine of Your Love’ of the Cream it takes 50 seconds to get to the verse ‘I’ve Been Waiting So Long’. The Beatles instead pulled out Canozni like? Simply: ‘Help! The Need Somebody, Help!’ And in the latter case, moreover, the word ‘Hey’ anticipates the music, and then the agreements arrive. Those are what they are called perfect songs. Not only that: the title of the song is the first word of the song, it is the most memorable and is also the last word of the song. Who writes more songs like this? Their talent in writing is undeniable. Paul McCartney, in particular, is by far the greatest author of songs in the history of recorded music “.

It is not the first time that Gene Simmons tells The importance of the Beatles in music. In an interview for “spin” of 2022, the Kiss co-founder had remembered: “When I was a child, the Beatles struck me as a religious event, like a singularity. I was not a musician. I was just a boy. I turn on the TV, and here the Beatles appear and sing: ‘She Loves You, Yeah, Yeah’. It is accent? ‘And moreover they seemed like girls, with those ridiculous haircuts! “

Two years ago, Simmons had declared to the “PA” agency, taken from “Blabbermouth”, that the Beatles even “changed the culture”. “If it hadn’t been for the Beatles, England would have remained linked to King Arthur, Guy Fawkes and all those other things: he would have remained only another country with a story, like many other countries that have an interesting story”, underlined the musician: “The Beatles made it special, they created a culturealmost a religion, and Liverpool has become a Holy Land. When the Beatles arrived, it was like a hydrogen bomb. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing and listening. It was incredible, and we all continued to point our gaze towards England, and it struck me to the point that I started talking to a fake English accent. Elvis Presley was a star, but did not change culture. It was a real rock star, but he did not influence the way of living, doing or thinking. The Beatles have changed everything. It was almost like a first and after: BB and AB – Before Beatles and After Beatles. Everything has changed“.
