The 68-year-old musician said he took a wild chance by calling up the Nobel laureate's manager in the early 1990s as he was eager to collaborate with him and Dylan knocked his doors after two days.
"Everybody buys lottery tickets. What are their chances of winning? Not much. So what? There is a chance you can win, and I'm like that. So I called his manager: 'Can I speak with Bob?' 'What do you wanna talk to him about?' 'I... I wanna write a song with Bob.'
The duo went on to co-write "Waiting For The Morning Light" in 1991, which featured on Simmons's 2004 solo set 'A**hole'.
Simmons's recently released a huge collection titled, "Gene Simmons - The Vault Experience: 1966-2016", which celebrates the Kiss co-founder's 50 years in music with a 15- minute snippet of his songwriting session with Dylan at its end.
