Gene Simmons' take on Johnny Marr's refusal to reunite The Smiths highlights a pragmatic approach: if a member isn't on board, find someone who is willing to embrace the opportunity.
Simmons emphasized that the music industry revolves around the songs, not the individual players, suggesting that the audience prioritizes experience over specific band member identities.
In discussing Morrissey, Simmons acknowledged his outspokenness, framing it as part of his artistry while recognizing the challenges that come with his controversial perspectives.
Simmons reiterated that turning down a lucrative opportunity like a $100 million reunion is not only unreasonable but reflects a lack of appreciation for the financial rewards in the industry.
