“Jesus Christ Nikki Sixx! Would you please shut up, find another way to be in the news and get off your self inflated pedestal,” says KISS vocalist and guitarist Paul Stanley on his official Facebook page. “Regardless of some things Gene Simmons has said that I may take issue with, his influence on musicians (you included) is undeniable and will continue. More importantly, his work, generosity and monetary contributions to numerous causes and charities for those less fortunate makes your ongoing rant, in the scheme of things, the unimportant but annoying squeak it truly is. Move on.” Stanley is referring to the very public war of words that has erupted since fellow KISS bandmate Gene Simmons commented on the passing of highly respected musician Prince.
