Adam Lambert has some choice words for KISS frontman Gene Simmons, who suggested that Lambert stepping out as a gay artist would be career suicide. 

Lambert tells Rolling Stone that Simmons is "not a very great singer." Yeah, thanks, Captain Obvious! He also says, "Gene was being a d*ck." Uh oh. A war between the KISS Army and Glamberts would be pretty ugly. KISS Army would obviously win, they're a military force, after all. It would be like a fight between the marines and the cast of Glee. 

Unsurprisingly, Lambert also cites David Bowie as a major inspiration, for his androgynous identity shifting over the years, and says his new album will incorporate a 1930's Berlin feel. Not a bad Bowie impression as long as he avoids the career-stumble Nazi salute Bowie pulled. 

He also discusses being told to 'tone down the gay' in the past and his own fondness for theatrically flamboyant performances.

Lambert, who recently broke up with his boyfriend, has been spotted out and about at clubs recently but says he has no intention of dating anyone. He also dispelled fears that his album would be competition with Kris Allen, as he told E! Online: "If anybody watched the show, they know we're apples and oranges."

For Your Entertainment is out next week.
