Fans are responsible for destroying the record industry, according to recent comments by Kiss bassist Gene Simmons.  "The record industry is dead," Simmons said.  "It's six feet underground and unfortunately the fans have done this. They've decided to download and file-share."

That bad behavior is precluding the group from recording new material, according to Simmons.  "There is no record industry around so we're going to wait until everybody settles down and becomes civilized," the controversial Simmons continued.  The outspoken glam-rocker also criticized Radiohead for offering their music for free, and promised that Kiss would not follow suit.
