Kiss member Gene Simmons' claims that Eddie Van Halen was going to leave his own band at one point to join Kiss has been debunked by another member of the New York City-based group.
According to Louder Sound, in an excerpt from Van Halen's biography Eruption, which will be released under the title Unchained in the U.S., Paul Stanley says his bandmate's remarks aren't true.
Stanley said that the U.K. guitarist visited Kiss while in the studio when they were working on their 1982 album Creatures of the Night.
