There's certain famous people in that certain bracket that I say to myself "damn, when that guy kicks the bucket, I'm going to feel old". Cal Ripken Jr. is there for me, Bono, Muddy. RW was little past the bracket, but close enough to make it disturbing. Plus I look at that guy and I think, that fucker gave up?

"Fuckin shit." -Cami
 
Gene Simmons of KISS:

"Drug addicts and alcoholics are always, 'The world is a harsh place.' My mother was in a concentration camp in Nazi Germany. I don't want to hear f**k all about "the world as a harsh place." She gets up every day, smells the roses and loves life," the 64-year-old told SongFacts.com. "And for a putz, 20-year-old kid to say, 'I'm depressed, I live in Seattle.' F**k you, then kill yourself."

Unfortunately, he didn't stop there. "I never understand, because I always call them on their bluff. I'm the guy who says 'Jump!' when there's a guy on top of a building who says, 'That's it, I can't take it anymore, I'm going to jump,'" Simmons continued. "Are you kidding? Why are you announcing it? Shut the f**k up, have some dignity and jump! You've got the crowd."

PICS: Remembering Robin Williams

His timing couldn't be worse seeing as the beloved Robin Williams committed suicide on Monday after years of struggling with depression himself. Needless to say, Simmons' remarks were not so well received, especially by one of his fellow rockers.

Motley Crue's Nikki Sixx, 55, commented on the shocking quotes during his radio show Sixx Sense, saying, "I like Gene. But in this situation, I don't like Gene. I don't like Gene's words. There is a 20-year-old kid out there who is a KISS fan and reads this and goes, 'You know what? He's right. I should just kill myself.'"

He added, "For people who are depressed, there is a way out. There are many, many ways out…Don’t listen to people who don’t know what they’re talking about."

America is so friggin politically correct.

I loved KISS when I was 7 years old but who gives a fuck what Gene Simmons (a fucking filthy rich bass player) has to say about depression and suicide?

People really get offended by Gene Simmons thoughts on suicide.

You guys get too hung up on technical playing (you can't help yourselves because you love Zappa).

Stanley and Simmons (with some help from producers) wrote some good, harmless pop rock songs that were fun to crank up in the car while driving way too fast (or in my case play air guitar with a tennis racket).

You don't have to be Joe Satriani to write timeless pop songs.
