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 struggle with deadlines too. Mightily. They used to stress me out so much it paralyzed me and I often couldn't tear myself out of it until right before the deadline, with a burst of nervous energy that let me get the bare minimum done while sometimes literally throwing up in panic. Still not great with them but thankfully a lot better. But at the time I still had to meet my deadlines because losing my job was not an option and the only reason things improved is that I put in the work to improve my mental health. None of that was enjoyable or easy but I'm quite proud of myself for hanging in there regardless and I wish the same feeling of pride for Art.

      So off-topic, but  US Speaker of the House Mike Johnson has the same kind of legal Covenant marriages as Jill and Derick. They're only legal in three states Arkansas, Louisiana, and Arizona. Johnson is from Louisiana.
