I haven't listened to it and I ain't gonna listen it, but it's like asking Britney Spears to sing an opera by Mozart. A little children's act trying to make music.

Not really.
Not really...KISS had a couple of years in the mid '70s where they may have been more popular in the U.S., but they were toxic by 1980 and didn't rebound until they took the makeup off.Quote

I know they're part of the "Americana" but I can ensure you the level of fame they encountered in the US (fortunately?) never was replicated anywhere else on Earth.

wrong. in south america and japan they were huge
They were playing half-empty arenas and theaters in the U.S. in the early '80s after The Elder and Creatures of the Night. Taking the makeup off and releasing Lick It Up is what revitalized their career here in 1983.Quote

Meanwhile the Stones were releasing Tattoo You and embarking on the '81/'82 tour.
That's interesting. I think their popularity plummeted in the U.S. before Australia then...they were really dead commercially by '81/'82.Quote

Mate..in 1980 KISS were Beatles-like in Australia (a country outside the US).
Meanwhile the Stones were doing nothing...retiring...

If you think good music is about "hard to play", well, we're on different wave lengths then. It wasn't "hard to play" that I was aiming at.
However, yes, although the chords might be easy, Stones songs are hard to play well. They have that in common with most blues or Bo Diddley or Chuck Berry, for example.

On a (kind of) related news, Gene is releasing a book titled “27: The Legend and Mythology of the 27 Club”, on which he "will serve as our guide to the enigmatic 27 club, examining sex, drugs, and rock’ n’ roll from the inside, and answering our enduring questions…"
I wonder what kind of news he can "reveal" about Brian Jones' death.
