Ha, and then it didn’t even play? Oh, the irony!

I was an early KISS listener, my brother was into them in the 70s, plus Judas Priest and Maiden and Ozzy. I didn’t get into Metallica until the early 90s.

Ask your brother if he ever went to the fair with some kid. I think that might have been him! I didn't really discover metal until the MTV era and so the first bands I knew were Motley Crue, Ratt, and the Scorpions. The few friends I had who were into KISS back then were, like you, kids with older brothers.
