KISS bassist and vocalist Gene Simmons has recalled his first meeting with AC\/DC guitarist Angus Young, shortly before the two bands toured together in the late 1970s.<\/p>\n
I saw them playing this really small club in L.A. I happened to be there, and all I remember is being so close to the stage, Simmons told Australias Triple Mwhile discussing how KISS enlisted the Australians as their support act in 1977 and 1978.<\/p>\n
Theres Angus just running around on stage, not posing, just kind of feeling it, like somebody in a trance or something. I said, That guy is rock and roll, that guy is real.'<\/p>\n
He went on describe his conversation with Young backstage. Ill never forget it he didnt have front teeth. I guess at that point they couldnt afford it.<\/p>\n

The two then went to a local diner together. Ill never forget it, Angus asked for a frankfurter, instead of a hot dog, and beets, Simmons continued.<\/p>\n
Angus picked up the hot dog without the bun and started biting into it on the sides of his mouth because the two front teeth were missing.<\/p>\n
And I said to him I can still remember most of the conversation You guys are great. Im gonna make some calls. Youre going out on tour with us.<\/p>\n
Last month, meanwhile, it was revealed that KISS are set to be the subject of a new four-hour documentary set to air this June.<\/p>\n
The new project is separate tothe bands upcoming biopicShout It Out Loud, which looks likely to air onNetflix.<\/p>\n
