Kiss bassist Gene Simmons has revealed that the band are in talks to star in an Angry Birds spin-off game, the NME reported. Saying that an Angry Birds cross over "will happen," Simmons also said that the group were in negotiations with Sony Games.

"We're talking with Sony Games now," he said. "We are really trying to take it in areas that haven't been done before and have stayed out of the marketplace because the ideas simply weren't exciting enough. So while the gaming world is waiting for the Kiss games that are going to explode, we're busy taking the brand to places where no brand has gone before."

"We're talking with Angry Birds, Kiss and Angry Birds, which will become a deal" added Simmons, before also saying that the gaming industry had had a big impact on the music business.

"Technology has impacted the music industry in more ways than even it understands. People think it's about the internet, but it's usually a cold experience. You're just watching it.

"The more you get involved, the more it connects with you and the more you're doing it and the more you control the music and the visuals, the more it becomes important."

Simmons isn't the first musician to express an interest in joining forces with the Angry Birds team. Last month, it was reported that rapper Kayne West had met with the developers behind the game for a brainstorming session.
