Simmons attacks 'boring' live bands
Published Saturday, Jun 14 2008, 06:20 BST | By Simon Reynolds

Simmons criticised British band Radiohead, saying that they owed it to their fans to put on a spectacular performance.
He is quoted as saying: "I admire bands like Radiohead, but the idea of being that serious? F*** that, get up on stage and blow s*** up!
"Bands that stand by their microphones and strum their guitars are forgetting one important point - people are bringing their eyes, it's audio and visual. If you're not fulfilling the visual part, it's like watching a movie with your eyes closed.
"One of the biggest compliments we get is [people saying], 'I f***ing hate their music but that's the best show I ever saw in my life'."
