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)...
