"Trends come, fashion comes. But we don't go away. We're like herpes," he told the Daily Star.

Speaking about the possibility of the band recording new material, Simmons commented: "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."

Kiss headlined the Download Festival last weekend.
