Have sex if you want to survive in the rock world, says Gene Simmons

KISS rocker Gene Simmons believes sex is the only way to survive in rock, because taking recourse booze and drugs can weigh heavily on one's career.

The New York Post quoted him as saying: "The only way to do it is no booze, no drugs . . . If you are not clean, you don't belong up there. I've never been drunk or high in my life.

"The only way to survive the long haul is to be straight-nosed. I've been here for four decades."

He added, "The only temptation I've had in my career is of the female variety. And that's one you can enjoy."
