"Before Van Halen became famous, Gene [Simmons] discovered them. But all I can tell you is when I was doing my guitar solo at Madison Square Garden before they became famous, Eddie was down in the pit watching every fucking move I made."

He's right about Gene and Paul being embarrassed. I'm embarrassed too, and I was never even a fan.
Ace makes Ozzy look like Steven Hawking.
If the whole world was one big party, he'd be the guy with his wiener in the punch bowl, not because he thought it was funny, but because he thought it was a urinal.

KISS arent answering any of Aces comments, and they must have seen them.

Eddie specifically said he say Page do it first. Van Halen was also a big Brian May fan, and Brian was tapping at least as early as Frehley was. I'd say it's more likely that he "got some ideas" from May than he did Frehley.
