Gene Simmons has revealed why KISS never sued Bruce Springsteen over his 2009 song “Outlaw Pete,” a portion of which is similar to that of their 1979 hit “I Was Made For Lovin’ You.” “KISS have sued lots of people [for plagiarism] and won,” Simmons told The Guardian. “But some people we don’t sue. We didn’t sue Bruce Springsteen for “Outlaw Pete.” How do we decide who to sue and who not to? We like Springsteen. We don’t sue.” Paul Stanley addressed the similarity during a 2016 interview. “There’s a Springsteen song that sounds like. There’s a part of the song that sounds like “I Was Made For Loving You,” so I’m sure he wasn’t sitting around listening to that. But it finds its way into everybody’s music. You can’t come down on everybody for their creativity.” Copyright(c) 2017 RTTNews.com. All Rights ReservedLess «
