Kiss' Paul Stanley says Jane's Addiction should have left their "ego" at home after their fight in the middle of their concert.
Speaking on Steve-O's Wild Ride podcast, Stanley said: "You don't hit. And you don't bring your problems onstage. You leave your ego – well, that’s more difficult. But you leave your anger and your resentment at the bottom of the stairs."
The Reason to Live singer added: "The audience paid. And that goes back to that same philosophy of [KISS] being the band we never saw.
"People get one chance to see you, possibly on a tour. It doesn’t matter about last night or about the night after – that’s their night, and for them to see you not interacting with your bandmate, that’s kid s***. That’s disrespectful to the people who paid."
Jane's Addiction's Boston show was abruptly cut short by the Los Angeles-formed alternative rockers after singer Perry Farrell threw a punch at guitarist Dave Navarro.
The band, who reunited after more than a decade for a tour and played Trinity College in Dublin over the summer, cancelled the next date at Hartford Healthcare Amphitheatre in Bridgeport, Connecticut on Sunday.
A series of shows throughout the US and Canada in September and October are still planned to go ahead, but there has been no confirmation from the band that this is the case.
Following the incident, the band posted a statement on their social media platforms: "We want to extend a heartfelt apology to our fans for the events that unfolded last night.
"As a result we will be cancelling tomorrow night's show in Bridgeport."
Known for the songs Jane Says and Been Caught Stealing, Jane’s Addiction have a cult following and are hailed as alternative rock pioneers.
They have released four albums – Nothing’s Shocking (1988), Ritual De Lo Habitual (1990), Strays (2003), and The Great Escape Artist (2011) – and in 2013 the band were honoured with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
