Kiss has claimed fans have killed the record industry.
Gene Simmons of the band explained that they were not recording any new material until illegal downloading stops, claiming downloading is “uncivilised”. He went on to say:
“The record industry is dead. It’s six feet underground and unfortunately the fans have done this. They’ve decided to download and file-share. There is no record industry around so we’re going to wait until everybody settles down and becomes civilised. As soon as the record industry pops its head up we’ll record new material.”
Oh well.
