Kiss' Gene Simmons Slams The X Factor, Simon Cowell And Cheryl Cole

November 23, 2010
Kiss' Gene Simmons Slams The X Factor, Simon Cowell And Cheryl ColeKiss frontman Gene Simmons has now joined a number of musicians to slam the X Factor and its judging panel.

Simmons believes he is more skilled than any of the X Factor judges - and that Simon Cowell, Cheryl Cole, Dannii Minogue and Louis Walsh know nothing about music.

"I think I could be the sole judge on The X Factor, I’m more qualified than anybody on the show," he told the Daily Star.

"Nobody on the show has written songs, then been on stage, or had record companies and managed Liza Minnelli. Nobody can shine my shoes."

He added: "The biggest superstars of all time would have never made it on The X Factor. Imagine if Jimi Hendrix or Mick Jagger or Robert Plant came out. I wouldn’t make it, and neither would they."

Meanwhile, Gene Simmons attended this year's M For Montreal last week as part of his Family Jewels reality show.
