Simmons: 'Kiss Are Better Than U2 & The Stones'

KISS star GENE SIMMONS has challenged U2 and the ROLLING STONES to a battle of the bands, insisting his heavy rock act would blow both supergroups away.

The outspoken bassist insists Kiss are the best live act in the world - and no other band would stand a chance of matching up to them.

In a radio interview in the U.K., Simmons says, "I would love to play on the same stage as U2, the Stones and anybody out there who considers themself a world champion.

"You come on up on that stage with us, baby. Show me what you got, and then we'll show you what the big boys do."

Gene must have taken some bad booze. When was the last time Kiss even sold out a stadium?

Gene Simmons is RIGHT. As long as the Beatles are dead and KISS lives, KISS will be #1.
