3 masters of the electric guitar tried, for different reasons, to join Kiss: 1 from the seventies (Eddie) and 2 from the eighties (Richie and Slash). And in the end It went well for all of them.

[@gmailyoutube9469]

More than that. Steve Ferris from Mr.Mister too

[@IPlayOneOnT.V.]

Great backstories. I wish the clip was longer.

[@berman5963]

Gene Simmons is the Steven segal of music

[@BangBang-en1ko]

@ berman5963. 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@antiverse0]

What's that mean?

[@Rayven_cat]

Getting Marlon Brando vibes myself

[@daveg4236]

⁠means he's full of shit

[@wasteofspace20]

Gene isn’t a Putin worshiper though.

[@lindaayesta1982]

Their legacy will remain, it's incredible that they still have that energy, greetings from Nicaragua ❤ much love to all

[@brucecampbellx]

This was just Eddie venting on his current frustration with Roth. I doubt he was all that serious. Just trying to express himself.

[@MIZORAM_mafaka_hnamte]

Thank God Eddie didn't join KISS..

[@bantehayes9973]

Wow robin looks great.

[@marciosanches9354]

Beatifull!!!

[@leRoi10]

EVH trolled him and he didnt even notice...

[@sanaikonnikova8265]

Slash 💣💥🔥❤

[@notramesses4790]

Could've made a super group!

[@richiebonjovi1]

Sambora😊

[@brandonchavarria1724]

No way slash wanted to join Kiss

[@fdrstan]

They should've let them in, then they might've actually had some listenable songs.

[@hallking7441]

What do you do for a living? 🤡

[@antiverse0]

They have a lot of bangers people don't even know about actually!

[@woodzie06]

Gene Simmons is the master of publicity, true or false

[@shizueigaki702]

yes

[@marklambert7144]

Funny how Gene is the only one to know this. Greatest bullshitter ever.

[@willyhwang1059]

imagine KISS playing sweet child of mine

[@Fearzero]

Paul and Gene write the songs. That riff would have stayed Saul's warmup exercise.

[@CincinnatusPublish]

@@Fearzero By that point they were singing all of the songs, but even Bruce Kulick has a nice amount of writing credits.

[@marinadiamondz]

Bizarre

[@justinfendelet8675]

Lol jokingly was sayING hahaja maybe i should join KISS 💋 WASNT SERIOUS.......

[@ENGlishJELLo-yk7up]

Eddie joining another band without his brother Alex. I don't think so!

[@Von45Rose]

I have to call BULLSHIT, on Eddie wanting to join the band.

[@aquaticborealis4877]

It does seem pretty hard to imagine

[@paulharding706]

It was true.

[@Balls4Days]

No Eddie didn't... notice this story didn't come out until after Eddie died.

[@andshewas296]

I don't believe that either

[@mjk-media]

The story’s been told long before Eddie died. I believe Gene first talked about it decades ago, but the earliest I found with a quick google search was 2014, so still a long while before Eddie died. Still, I doubt Eddie was all that serious about it, even if it is true that he did inquire to join.

[@Cynorkis]

There are videos of gene saying this way before that

[@lrm215]

He wrote it in his book way before Eddie died he was probably showing frustration and the issues in the original Van Halen

[@watergrass2135]

EVH is the greatest guitar player in the universe period!

[@MrMaynardWR]

Not according to EVH. He thought Allan Holdsworth was.

[@watergrass2135]

Laughing extremely loud 🤣.

[@andrewandy137]

Watergrass2135 EVH was one of the greatest ever ,but not the greatest. You forgot Ritchie Blackmore,Gary Moore, Yngwie Malmsteen

[@andrewandy137]

@@listenupfoolio-mx8me I also heard Eddie Van Halen liked guitarist Punky Meadows from the band Angel and that Punky had an impact on him . I know Angel were one of Van Halen rival bands across the sunset strip in the late 70s

[@leonardovivas188]

❤

[@michaelhembree4167]

i dont care what about anybody saids kiss was the best in the 70s and 80s

[@Paris179]

Just think there would have been no VanHagar …

[@mr.eggertin8573]

Dominick bolson

[@Infinitegrowth-zt1mh]

🤣

[@007coleyfoley]

COLEY FOLEY SAYS: FUCKIN "EDDIE VAN HALEN" WAS THE BEST. (AND COLEY FOLEY'S ALWAYS HATED FUCKIN "KISS"...)

[@Me4-gc8qs]

As if...

[@Dm-dk9zp]

Yea,so did Jimmy Page.

[@JustinCase780]

Also, Prince begged them to join after Carlos Santana was rejected.

[@davemustaki134]

Hendrix was so ahead of his time he asked to join them back in 69 after Woodstock

[@mattg5978]

KISS was a much superior band than Van Halen and aces solos had way more emotion. Putting Eddie in there would have ruined the band .

[@jamesbenjaminhanson]

B.S.😂

[@McHale72]

Gene says lots of things. Very little of it is true.

[@andshewas296]

Gene Simmons pushed the vax, remeber?

[@hallking7441]

Good because the pandemic is over thanks to the vaccine.
