KISS ripped off who?

So I'm spending quality time on my holiday weekend surfing YouTube (don't knock it - it makes me happy).  And recently while watching Black N Blue videos I recognized a familiar riff.  But the familiarity was not from Black N Blue (from their song Nasty Nasty).  Nope, if was from KISS (and the song Domino).  I did some googlefu.  Because I wondered - did Gene Simmons rip a riff off them?  He did per the interview at the link below with Jamie St. James.

History

lesson here.  Gene produced an album or two of BnB back in the day.  And BnB guitarist Tommy Thayer now plays guitar for KISS.  And per this article (and one @HerNameIsBuffy) He and Jamie were in a Kiss tribute band back in the day. 

audio only of BnB's Nasty Nasty because I was looking for something in the 80's and can find lots of more recent concert footage of the song but that's without Thayer.

Although if you want concert footage from last August to see that the song holds up (even with 2 different guitarists)...

The difference of course is that Gene Simmons is of course Gene Simmons and Nick is.... the son of a rock star.

      I am pretty sure that that is the exact same fridge, or a very similar fridge, to the one my sibling and their spouse put in when they built their new house three years ago. It's fine except that the water that comes out isn't as cold as I prefer my water to be. 

      I don't Love or hate open plan homes. They are very convenient for someone like my mother, who can't hear you calling from another room but who can tell that you're talking from across the room and use her lipreading/face reading skills to fill in what she doesn't hear. (she has a hearing loss.) My sibling has one and it's convenient when they are cooking because they can keep an eye on the kids. But they also have a playroom that is not part of the open plan, which I think is essential so that you are not continually stepping on Legos.

      And I tend to think that people with three or more bathrooms are not cleaning their own bathrooms. Myself absolutely love having my own bathroom but then again I live alone. I think that having IBS and sharing a bathroom would be very difficult to do.

      I was born with dark hair. Fell out, came back white blonde. Have been going darker ever since. It’s ash blonde (street dog blonde….) now. Which- as the internet tells me, is no considered „old money blonde“ (🤪🙄). Maybe that’s how we see it when I have finally grown out the dark brown I had dyed it…..

      They could have moved closer to Ryann’s family last summer instead of moving to Seattle…that would have saved them their donors several thousands…but it’s not money they had to earn so they don’t care. Every decision they make is very reactive as opposed to proactive. They rarely think of the consequences.

      I really hate the fancy appliances that companies put out these days. Like the fridges with a touch screen on it. Like why does my fridge need a touch screen? Wtf?

      Or at least won’t need a technician to fix…
