Gene Simmons Gets Outperformed By A 13 Year Old Kid At A Rock N' Roll Camp In Vegas - Video Available!

KISS's Gene Simmons recently visited the Rock N’ Roll Fantasy Camp at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas, Nevada. During a jam that featured Simmons along with a group of young aspiring musicians, including thirteen year old Clayton Mann, who performs in a band called Rebelmann with his brothers, Simmons got outperformed by Mann. This kid can not only play some great guitar leads, but he can sing his heart out. To say that Simmons was blown away is an understatement, and if anything Simmons was bummed by having a young musician outperform him in front of a small crowd of kids.

Here is video footage of the Simmons and Mann jam:

Here is the NEW single from Heavy Music legends KISS is part of the band's 20th studio album entitled 'Monster'. Entitled "Hell Or Hallelujah", guitarist/vocalist Paul Stanley calls the track, "a battle cry that encapsulates the entire record... one way or another, we're going to do it our way".



'Monster' is the group's first studio album since the band's 2009 smash success, 'Sonic Boom', and was also produced by Paul Stanley with Greg Collins at Conway Studios in Hollywood, California, and The Nook in Studio City, California.

In other KISS news, according to Gene Simmons, the 35th anniversary edition ‘Destroyer’ reissue will be released very soon. He says that it will be “coming out shortly, this summer.”

36 years after the release of ‘Destroyer,’ it’s easy to understand why Simmons considers the album “a very pivotal record for us.” It marked an important point in “Kisstory,” with the band learning a new process of making music. Producer Bob Ezrin wanted to take the band back to their roots and have them really focus on the formatics of being a band, telling them “we’re going to learn how to tune our guitars and talk about song structure.”

As Simmons told Ultimate Classic Rock, it was a different path than the one they had taken on their first three studio albums. “When we first started out, you know, we basically dove into the deep end of the pool and [said] ‘let’s see if we can swim?’ And then once you stay in the water long enough, you want to start to get some style and do the breaststroke and the backstroke and all of that stuff, because you become a better swimmer. It’s not just enough to not sink. So the sink or swim thing became ‘hey, let’s be really good swimmers.’”
