Gourt Home::Gourt :: Bruce Kulick
Bruce Kulick (born on December 12, 1953 in Brooklyn, New York) was the lead guitarist for the rock band KISS from September 1984 to February 1996. The song "I Walk Alone" from The Final Sessions is the only KISS track to feature Kulick as lead vocalist.
Before KISS, Bruce Kulick toured the world on Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell" tour in 1977-78, and was briefly a member of Long Island's Good Rats. He was also in the band Blackjack with Michael Bolton, and also played on several Michael Bolton solo albums. Bolton later co-wrote the KISS song "Forever", from Hot in the Shade.
Bruce Kulick is the brother of guitarist Bob Kulick, who himself played with KISS as a ghost guitarist, as well as playing with Paul Stanley as a solo artist.
When KISS' original members reunited in February 1996, Kulick left to form Union with John Corabi, Mötley Crüe's vocalist during Vince Neil's absence.
Union played in Japan, January 2005 and Germany, November 2005.
Currently, Bruce is the lead guitarist for Grand Funk Railroad, with whom he has been playing since 2001. In addition, he has released two solo albums, Audio Dog in 2001, and Transformer in 2003. Plans are in the works for a third solo release in early 2006.
In January 2005 Bruce released the first Union DVD, Do Your Own Thing Live. This DVD contained two full length Union concerts and a lot of extra bonus material.
In mid-2005, Kulick was working with former bandmate Paul Stanley on Stanley's as-yet unreleased solo album.
2006, Bruce had plans to record and release his third solo album.
Bruce appears on the Lordi album The Arockalypse on the song It Snows In Hell, playing lead guitar.
