During a recent conversation with Classic Rock, Kiss bassist, Gene Simmons opened up about former Van Halen vocalist, David Lee Roth, who said that back in the early days, he was unbeatable, and named him ”a god”.

Here’s what Gene Simmons said:

“With Van Halen in the early days, David Lee Roth was God. On stage, nobody could touch him. So you couldn’t imagine Van Halen without Roth.

“But you know what? Life actually happens while you’re busy making plans. And AC/DC, without Bon Scott, became an even bigger band. So rules are pretty much made to be broken.

”Could AC/DC still be AC/DC with Axl Rose? Sure they could! Because it’s either convincing or it’s not.”
