Gene Simmons has revealed that KISS is in negotiations with the team behind "Angry Birds" for a spin-off version of the popular computer game. Speaking to Industry Gamers, Simmons said he’s confident the talks "will become a deal".
He also said KISS is talking with Sony Games about other video game projects. "We are really trying to take [video games] to areas that haven’t been done before," said Simmons. "[Until now], we have stayed out of the marketplace because the ideas simply weren’t exciting enough."
Simmons went on to say the gaming industry has impacted the music industry "
in more ways than even it understands". "
The more you control the music and the visuals, the more it becomes important," he said.
"It becomes a part of you. 'Guitar Hero' is pretty addictive. Once you play it, it’s going to be tough not to want to get up in the middle of the night either alone when nobody is looking, or with your friends."
Thanks for the report to Russell Hall, Gibson.com.
I don't think any rock band has *****d themselves out this much before.
