Gene Simmons Of Kiss Discovered Van Halen. No it was producer Ted Templeman whom "discovered" Van Halen. And I think the term " discovered " is a much over used term. Especially when it is used in this context. After all , they weren't dinosaurs hiding in some far away jungle.

While Ted Templeman signed Van Halen to a record deal, it was in fact Gene Simmons of Kiss that helped Van Halen produce their first demo tape, that led to Templeman signing them to a record deal. So, yes it was Gene Simmons that first discovered the band by first investing in the production of their first demo tape.
