JAKARTA - KISS vocalist and bassist Gene Simmons did not hesitate to call The Beatles a group of musicians and writers of the greatest songs in the world he has ever seen and heard.

Without hesitation, the 75-year-old musician even believed the Beatles were the best in the last 200 years.

"Well, obviously The Beatles are on top and go beyond anything anyone has ever seen in music during, oh, 200 years easily. Not since Renaissance," Simmons said in the latest episode of Lewis Howes' The School Of Greatness podcast.

Simmons called the appearance of The Fab Four in a previously uncountable city as something extraordinary. Moreover, they have only been completely active as a band for seven years.

You have to understand, they only existed for seven years and they came from a pool filled with liver, Liverpool, where nothing ever happened. High unemployment rate, no experience, no resummation, nothing," Simmons said.

But 'Iloy hold your hand', 'She loves you.men't, yeah, yeah.' And that last score, the ninth minor, is a sophisticated chord. If you know about music, it's almost like jazz acot never heard of in rock music, "he continued.

Furthermore, the bassist tried to explain by comparing the Beatles' songs against The Rolling Stones and Cream.

He said the 'Satisfaction' from The Rolling Stones took about 40 seconds to get to the first chorus as the highlight of the song. Then Cream's 'Sunshine Of Your Love' took about 50 seconds to get to the chorus.

But for the Beatles, many works have reached the top of the song even in the first biration, including Help, Yesterday, Michelle, and Hey Jude.

That's what is called the perfect song. Not only that, the title song is the first word of the song, it is the most memorable song and that is the last word in the song," he said.

Who wrote such a song? Undeniably, their writing. (Paul) McCartney, in particular, has so far been the most successful songwriter in record history, concluded Gene Simmons.
