In a recent interview Simmons said he was personally making more money per show with his solo band than he did with Kiss at the top of their game – despite having just repeated his regular claim that rock is dead.
“The local promoters provide the back line, and we just get up there and play,” he told Billboard. He added that the entire entourage consisted of himself, three band members and two crew.
“[N]o managers, no private jets, no 20 tractor trailers, no 60-man crew, no huge shows… [T]he pyro alone for every Kiss show [was $10,000, sometimes $50,000 if you go outdoors. Enormous, enormous costs for doing that.”
His solo shows had a completely different vibe, he explained. “It’s almost as if you decided to rent some amps in a garage and plug in, and then everybody from the neighborhood comes in… It’s very informal and a lot of fun.”
