(Gibson) In a recent interview on VH1's That Metal Show, former KISS guitarist Ace Frehley told the story of how Gene Simmons saved him from drowning in a hotel pool.

"I didn't know Gene was a lifeguard," Frehley said. "I actually drowned one day at a Holiday Inn. [laughs] I'm serious � this was in the '70s. I actually drowned. Everyone else was [expletive] up, I was [expletive] up obviously, but everyone else was loaded, and I went under� the next thing you know, I'm drowning. Gene pulls me out of the pool and pumps the water out of me."

The Space Ace went on to say, "Only later I found out that he was a certified lifeguard when he used to go to college." No word on weather the heroic Demon's mammoth mouth muscle assisted in the rescue. more on this story
