Gene Simmons He does not mince words, and that could fit a lot there ... The bassist of Kiss and now reality TV star, declared that there will be no new album from the band because «there is no record industry«. And he exemplified: «Any band trying to put out a record is trying to climb a slippery mountain«.
For Simmons - who said that record companies close every day - it would be great if there were new songs from Kiss, but he wonders what the business model is: «Record songs and post them on the internet?"
For him, those who download music illegally are «Thieves«. «I would have sued from the first to the last, because they are stealing«. And in one thing he is right: when he says that the losers are not them, but the new gangs.
«We can continue to play in stadiums and edit DVD's, but the problem is that young groups do not have opportunities to become the new Beatles or Kiss because there is no infrastructure.«.
What was said several times in NewsMusic: The business model has already changed. You will have to adapt to it or stay outside.
