Gene Simmons Recalls Jimmy Page’s Reaction to His Bass Playing: ‘You Can Give John Entwistle a Run for His Money’

“I was just about ready to pass out.”

While Gene Simmons‘ bass skills will never be confused with such 4-string technicians as Billy Sheehan or Jaco Pastorius, many of his memorable lines proved to be an important ingredient to classic Kiss tunes.

But during a recent interview with Adam Carolla, Simmons made a claim concerning one of rock’s greatest guitarists praising his bass playing. The gentleman who provided the bold quote? None other than Led Zeppelin‘s Jimmy Page (transcribed by Ultimate Guitar).

“Page came to see us the first time when we played Wembley, came to see us some other times when we were there. And he came up to me after the show, with my hand to God, and said, ‘Mate, you can give [John] Entwistle a run for his money.’ And I was just about ready to pass out. That’s not true, of course. But the fact that he may say that — the highest compliment.”

The definitive KISS playlist

For six decades, Kiss has brought its beloved brand of rock and roll to the masses — with or without their signature makeup and costumes. The band has one of the most devoted followings (Kiss Army) in music history, thanks to the music. Here is our definitive ranking of the 25 best Kiss songs.

1 of 25

25. “I Love It Loud”

From 1982’s Creatures of the Night, “I Love It Loud” was the last Kiss single released during the band’s time on the Casablanca label. Gene Simmons co-wrote the song with Vinnie Vincent, who replaced Ace Frehley on guitar but was not included on the original cover of the album. The track has been a staple of Kiss live shows and prominently features Eric Carr’s drum work.

24. “Crazy Crazy Nights”

In 1987, with the lineup of Simmons, Stanley, Carr, and Bruce Kulick without makeup, Kiss could be easily confused with the musical stylings of Poison or Ratt. The band’s changing pop-metal, MTV-friendly sound made for many a defection within the ranks of the “Kiss Army.” However, “Crazy Crazy Nights” was an unabashed celebration of what was going on during the hard rock/hair metal scene of the day.

23. “Every Time I Look at You”

One of the better offerings from the post-makeup, hair metal days of the band. From 1992’s Revenge record, the track is one of the better power ballads in the waning days of the pop-metal era. Perhaps the best version of the song came during the band’s appearance on the MTV Unplugged series in 1995. It just sounds better in an intimate, acoustic setting, which proved Kiss could still pack a punch in that environment.

22. “Parasite”

Kiss

The first of back-to-back tracks from Kiss’ second album Hotter Than Hell (1974) that we’ll showcase. “Parasite” is one of the harder, heavier rocking sounds in Kiss’ vast catalog, maybe because guitarist Ace Frehley wrote it.
