The band's longtime manager Doc McGhee took a good 8 months to respond to the critics who feel they caught KISS in the act of lip syncing to backing tracks in their show in Antwerp, Belgium as covered right here on Detroit's Wheels. Drummer Eric Carr literally skipped a beat and screwed up the entry point for Paul Stanley's next verse in of all things our anthem, Detroit Rock City. The sneering reviews worldwide were served up at Gene Simmons who shot off his mouth in 2015 in an interview where he vilified bands for charging $100 a ticket while they lip synced on stage. As the band continues on the seemingly endless End of the Road Tour towards a gig at Sonic Temple in Columbus in May, McGhee jumped on with Premier Prep to defend his boys against the scandalous accusations saying of Paul, "..he sings every track so he sings too it.." meaning the backing track. McGhee continued, "So he's not lip syncing. He fully sings. You know, it's just part of the process to make sure that everybody hears the songs the way they should be sang to begin with. You know, nobody wants to hear people do stuff that's not real, that's not what they came to hear.". That said, the End Of The Road Tour continues in Brazil in April. But watch Paul Stanley in a Workday commercial during the Super Bowl asking the CEO's of companies to stop calling themselves Rock Stars.
