*You can support the channel with KZbin Channel Memberships or through Buy Me a Coffee. Never expected, but always appreciated.❤Links in Description!* KISS has so many different eras and this guitar player is definitely bringing it!

[@RockNewsQuickies]

Bruce is incredibly talented, and the nicest guy ever.

[@setonhillstudios]

I keep hearing that he is such a genuine person, which is amazing! Thanks for sharing! 😁

[@RockNewsQuickies]

​@@setonhillstudios Yeah, he really is. Paul and Gene did a great job bringing him in. And he has embraced his time in KISS, and stays very involved with the fans.

[@setonhillstudios]

So awesome!! Love to hear that!

[@DUECESTER77]

I love bruce kulick. He wasnt a ground breaking flashy guitarist that set new levels to guitar playing, but he is so consistent. Ive been a fan for 30+ years and ive never heard him miss anything. He always keeps perfect time, doesnt miss notes, always aounds so clean. Perfect musician in my oppinion.

[@nsolitary]

Bruce is a beast!

[@jonathananfinson5332]

That's Bruce Kulick. You seen him on the Unplugged version of I still love you

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s what someone else was reminding me of too! So many videos it’s hard to keep track! 🤣 Thanks for the reminder and have a great one!

[@rodjohnon4950]

Bruce was by far the best guitarist Kiss ever had.

[@stevenschoen1138]

Bruce Kulick is one of my very favorite guitar players…dude is fantastic..also plays in grand funk

[@AdrianCadeo]

He played in grand funk. He quit to play with grand funk around one year ago!

[@speedycables]

The BEST KISS guitarist, fo sure!!!

[@W4rM4chine82]

He is the most down to earth member he even post stuff on facebook for the fans and interacts with them

[@setonhillstudios]

That’s awesome!!! 😁

[@jamgee4402]

Technically, Bruce is the best guitarist they ever had

[@emerald1805]

Technically, I’d pick Bob Kulick. Cause he’s on a LOT of the 70s Kiss stuff anyway!!! I’m sure Bruce would appreciate me picking Bob.

[@echo1855]

@@emerald1805 R.I.P. Bob Kulick

[@W4rM4chine82]

Bob was never an official member though

[@thekenandmisty]

The leads on animalize were smoking. I would love to have seen what mark st john could have done with more time. I love bruce as well.

[@jimilove7773]

That would be Vinie!

[@W4rM4chine82]

Ace+Bruce are my favs

[@GosselinCreative]

Bruce Kulick was exactly the guitar player they needed at the time. He perfectly blended the blues-based style of Ace Frehley with the shredder techniques in vogue during the 80s. He could do justice to both the classic Kiss tunes and the new ones in the 80s and 90s.

[@thekenandmisty]

@@GosselinCreative i love ace he has a one of a kind style but yeah bruce plays circles around him. So do vinnie mark and tommy honestly lol.

[@dirkvanderpoel6797]

Great choice man, Bruce was a beast, so much better than Tommy

[@Puttynuts]

I'm better than Tommy and I suck

[@digimortalone2759]

Bruces brother Bob, was the unofficial 5th member of KISS for years. Bob also played with WASP and Meatloaf. Bruce and Eric Carr (drums) had a great relationship/friendship. Bruce produced a cd (after Erics death) of stuff him and Eric had been working on before Eric passed. Its pronounced Cue-lick.

[@markcloer2274]

My favorite guitar solo of all time is Bob's solo in W.A.S.P.'s "The Idol". Other-worldy...

[@sumonjamal1653]

Kiss was a beast in the 80's without makeup... Paul and Gene were always giving 100% live and Eric Carr (drums) was a phenomenal talent on the kit (from 1980 to 1991) ... In 1973, Kiss auditioned a guitarist name Bob Kulick and he was passed over for Ace Frehley (lead guitar) for the original band. However, Bob Kulick stayed in touch w/ Kiss and they called him to do studio sessions in the 70's and early 80's for Kiss albums when Ace Frehley was too bombed to play... Bob Kulick became a high profile musician, playing w/ the likes of Meat Loaf... Alice Cooper... W.A.S.P. ... etc. (He passed away in 2020 at age 70) So, Bob Kulick's younger brother was guitarist Bruce Kulick, who also played w/ Meat Loaf and eventually joined the band Blackjack, which featured Michael Bolton on lead vocals(!) ... and toured w/ a solo Michael Bolton (before he became a crooner) In 1984, Kiss was recording the album 'Animalize' after firing lead guitarist Vinnie Vincent and hiring Mark St. John (who recorded most of the solos on the album)... but Paul and Gene were recording in separate studios... Gene needed a couple of guitar solos for his songs and Bob Kulick had recommended Bruce Kulick to Kiss... So, Bruce Kulick did play on 'Animalize' as a session guitarist. Unfortunately, lead guitarist Mark St. John developed an arthritic condition that left him unable to play guitar for the tour in '84 (He reportedly only played 3 shows w/ Kiss) ... and Bruce Kulick was called again to do the tour. After it was apparent that Mark St. John was not healthy enough for the gig, he was let go ... and Bruce Kulick joined Kiss full-time. From what I read, it was not an easy gig... Bruce Kulick recalled stepping onstage w/ Gene and Paul and the two were running around and owning the stage and he was terrified of running into them, so he stood rooted and concentrated on his guitar playing... Paul Stanley recalled when Kiss played in England, the British press called him 'Spruce Kulick' cos he wasn't mobile onstage. But the partnership was a good one... he was reliable and one of the best guitarists that had been in Kiss... his playing was different from Ace Frehley and he never quite got the credit he deserved... His playing was on display in the 1984 concert video 'Animalize live uncensored'... which captured a non-makeup Kiss concert for MTV After Eric Carr passed away in 1991, Eric Singer (drums) joined Kiss in 1992 and the album 'Revenge' was one of their best records... Kiss performed on MTV 'Unplugged' in 1995 w/ the intention of releasing a 'grunge rock' Kiss album 'Carnival of Souls' in 1996... However, the reunion w/ Peter Criss and Ace Frehley brought the original Kiss back together for a world tour in '96. Both Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer was let go... But due to issues between Kiss and Peter & Ace, Bruce Kulick ended up contributing tracks to what was supposed to be the original Kiss' new album 'Psycho Circus' in 1998... Eric Singer returned to Kiss in 2001 donning Peter Criss' makeup character... Bruce Kulick was not enthusiastic about dressing up or playing like Ace Frehley in Kiss, so lead guitarist Tommy Thayer took Ace's spot in 2002. Bruce Kulick (who is 70 now) did record 2 albums w/ John Corabi (who was briefly the singer of Motley Crue in 1994) and their band Union released 2 stellar rock albums that were overlooked - 'Union' (1998) and 'The Blue Room' (2000)... Bruce Kulick began touring in 2000 w/ Grand Funk Railroad as a live guitarist - a role he played until 2023... He did perform w/ Kiss on numerous 'Kiss Kruise' events and played bass on Paul Stanley's 2006 solo album 'Live to win'. From what I've heard, Bruce Kulick and his solo band have been performing Kiss songs in concert from his era w/ the band.

[@big106razor]

Bruce really desereves a lot of credit for helping to keep KISS relevent in the 80s. He had the perfect style and sound for this era. Pronounced "cue-lick," his brother Bob was a ghost player for Ace in the 70s.

[@i5150v1]

His brother Bob would fill in for Ace a lot back in the days when he wouldn’t show up for recording. I think he also played on Paul’s first solo album. RIP Bob. But Bruce was definitely the right guy until they didn’t think he was for some reason.

[@matthewgonzales3970]

That was Bruce in the "Unholy" video. He was a big influence on me in the 80's, and was just what KISS needed in the non-makeup era to keep up with the shredders of the day.

[@a_steinman]

I have two favorite KISS lead guitarist, Ace Frehley and Bruce Kulick

[@w.yeager9239]

Bruce is a journeyman, has had a dream career, played lead guitar for Billy Squire B4 joining kiss, His brother Bob kulick, recorded 3 of guitar tracks for kiss on kiss Alive 2, played with Alice Cooper for years, Meatloaf, Etc. unfortunately he died of heart disease, I met Bruce after Kiss Concert w/ Ted Nugent as opener in Huntington, WV on Crazy Nights Tour, at the Radisson Hotel lobby, He was anxious to find the bar, but took the time to sign a few autographs for me & my friend Bobby Causey (R.I.P.) & Answered a few ?'s that where silly as shit I'm sure I was like 16 yrs. Old , But Rock solid Guitarist, & Not Cocky as hell , like ALOT of em

[@samuraidarryl]

Post KISS Bruce also released 3 solo albums with great music including some killer instrumentals. Additionally from 2000 - 2023 he was a member of Grand Funk Railroad. Pure quality guitarist. And when I met him at both Bar Broadway and Metro he was a super gentleman.

[@setonhillstudios]

@@samuraidarryl yeah i saw him with grand funk they were so good. It sounded like 10,000 people were booing the shit out of them but we were all screaming Bruuuuuuuuuuuce and he knew it.

His older brother Bob Kulick passed away a cpl yrs ago but Bob was a master on the guitar himself. U have to check him out.

[@diannelovejoy5514]

Bruce Kulick was the lead guitarist during most of the unmasked era. He was the lead guitarist for Meatloaf on the Bat Out of Hell album and tour in the late 1970s. He just left after 20+ years as lead guitarist of Grand Funk Railroad in 2023. Someone you need to explore. He and Michael Bolton had a rock band too. ❤🤘

[@garytate3075]

He wasn't on the "Bat out of Hell" album.

[@eddtucker9779]

Bruce Kulick was with KISS from 1984 through 1996. He's the brother of Bob Kulick, ghost guitarist on studio albums when Ace Frehley was too drunk to play.

[@TonyStark-ii2wb]

The Eric Carr drum solo from this same show is unreal. After Kiss, Bruce formed a band called Union with former Motley Crue vocalist John Corabi and was later the guitarist for Grand Funk Railroad. Have met Bruce several times over the years. One of the nicest and humble people you would want to meet.

[@nealwoolrich7431]

Bruce was in the Unplugged video of "I Still Love You" that you reviewed. Killer guitarist and super versatile, could play all sorts of different styles. Check out his solo in "Forever" for something completely different. Great review as always Steven! Oh - and he had a long stint in Grand Funk Railroad which he only recently ended.

[@MegaLoucon]

Bruce was the 80s-era KISS lead guitarist. That's his legacy. He basically changed aces solos and made them his own.

[@rondadowns8833]

This song is on Crazy Nights if u wanna find out more.

[@lynnw9857]

Love this….Bruce is amazing, as was little Eric. As to who’s best, I think a lot of it depends on who was there when you started listening to them. I was there from the start, early 1970s, so there’s an always going to be a special place in my heart for Ace and Peter. Having said that, and not being a musician myself, all I can say is that Gene and Paul always managed to find amazing players to bring into KISS, Bruce and Eric being two of the best. R.I.P. Eric Carr “The Fox”

[@MrMCCONNELL74]

HiS brother Bob Kulick auditioned with KISS at the very beginning..Gene & Paul were in the middle of talking to him when Ace Frehley came walking in wearing a red sneaker & orange sneaker.Ace plugged in his guitar & started playing.Bob obviously didnt get it but helped KISS during the 70's.He suggested Bruce join the band in '84,He passed away a few years ago

[@emerald1805]

I’d say Bob was the “unofficial” & 1st, Kulick brother to play on Kiss albums. Cause he did a lot before Bruce. These days certain people may say something different, but facts are facts.

You need to check out kiss under the gun live in 1990. That's a banger too

[@thunderspike1892]

Bruce Kulick took over for Mark St. John after he was diagnosed with reactive arthritis. Bruce would be ready behind the stage if Mark couldn't play. So Bruce played most of the tour and was hired afterwards. Was the lead guitarist from 1984-1996. The last Kiss album he played on was Carnival Of Souls - The Final Sessions from 1997. A very heavy album. Bruce did a lot of the guitar and bass on that album and sang on I Walk Alone. After Kiss made the Reunion Bruce and drummer Eric Singer left. Eric was later hired to take over for Peter Criss. Bruce did Union with John Corabi from Motley Crue. A few suggestions to check out. Kiss - Hate, Childhood's End and Seduction Of The Innocent. All from the Carnival Of Souls album. Also I Walk Alone sung by Bruce Kulick. Union - Love (I Don't Need It Anymore, Old Man Wise and Dear Friend (tribute to Eric Carr) Blackthorne - Afterlife. Bob Kulick with a visit from his brother Bruce. Graham Bonnet on lead vocals. Bob Kulick did some studio recordings for Kiss.

Hey Steven, here's a list of the guitarist's who have been in KISS. In order, Ace Frehley, Vinnie Vincent, Mark St. John, Bruce Kulick and for the last 20 or so years, Tommy Thayer. My favorite Kiss line up is the original with Paul, Gene, Peter and Ace. My second is the line up in this video!!

[@barberjeff67]

Bruce was great. I've met him twice and he's a great guy. Funny too! I always thought he was an amazing player.

[@85metalmania666]

I know you saw an Eric Carr drum solo from 1990 in the middle of 'God of Thunder' so you did see Bruce. Eric was a beast behind the kit, the reason why I play drums too. Even when I met Peter Criss I told how much I loved him. Peter loved Eric so much, nothing but kind words towards him. Peter even thought Eric was a great fit for the band.

[@rocsaltjohn]

Bruce's outfit: He has a guitar that matches it.

[@samuraidarryl]

Bruce was brilliant. Jettisoned after the decision was made to do the Reunion Tour in ‘96. His 12 years that time was the longest for any ex-original member. Has the pleasure to see Bruce play in Sydney post-KISS and he was incredible. Small setting at Bar Broadway which was great. Saw him again with ESP in Sydney- Metro Theatre - insane. You need to check out his post KISS work with Union and solo releases. He is brilliant. For me Ace is the fit for KISS. Bruce is a great guy and brilliant guitarist and was a totally different era. I’m just not a real fan of a lot of the 80s non-makeup releases. If you listen to Revenge and Carnival of Souls releases you will see KISS in a different direction with Bruce and Eric Singer. Kills the 80s imo. Loving your reviews.

Let’s hear it for KISS’ 5th member in this video…Gene’s wig. He was making movies during this time, I believe, so he cut his hair. I wonder when Paul started wearing wigs? It’s funny what we’re willing to overlook, just give us our favorite rock monsters…curdling blood and wearing rugs all night and party everyday! Wigs? Do we mind? No No No! Let’s go!

[@setonhillstudios]

😂🤣😂

[@rickde40]

he just ended playing with grand funk railroad

[@gr8handsftl]

Technical skill wise, Bruce is the best guitarist that KISS ever had. His playing is just amazing and on par. Him with Eric Carr was just awesome, especially in concert. You have seen Bruce before, he was playing guitar on the video I Still Love You that you made. Also on the video for Unholy, God Of Thunder, Under The Gun and War Machine. He started with KISS 1984 and played with them through to the reunion tour in 1996. His brother Bob Kulick had done some studio work with them, on lead guitar, during Alive 2 studio songs and some others. While some fans aren't too thrilled with the album Carnival Of Souls (the reunion tour interfered with its release and was eventually released later) it is one of their best studio albums as far as song writing and Bruce's guitar playing on it is just fantastic. Give some of those songs a listen (like Jungle, Hate, Rain, Childhood's End, I Will Be There, It Never Goes Away, Master And Slave), I mean the entire album is pretty great. Bruce has a song on there where he does the co-writing and singing called I Walk Alone, so our first, and last time hearing him as lead singer.

[@downboys]

Check out the drum solo from this same show.

[@kevinstrong8265]

Probably one of the best technical guitarist ever.

Bruce was in Meatloaf and Blackjack as well as a short stint with Andrea True( More More More) . Been with Grand Funk since Kiss,. He is very under rated and a hell of a nice guy.

[@roaringviking5693]

Yes, you've seen him, in the Under the Gun/War Machine live video. I wrote a fairly long comment on that video talking among other things about Bruce Kulick and how he had just joined the band then. You hearted it, so I assumed you read it. But it's on me, really. I get overly eager talking about Kiss since I really know this band, even though I should realize that these type of channels is about getting views, not learning stuff.

[@setonhillstudios]

I won’t heart this one so you don’t get offended. 🤷🏻‍♂️ I am literally sifting through thousands of comments and I am one of the few creators that actually reads them all. To assume that I can remember every single one is alittle unfair if you ask me! 😁

Yes you've reacted to a video with Bruce before on 1990's Hot in the Shade Tour with God of Thunder (plus Eric Carr's drum solo) which you remember that you didn't finish the song 😉anyways Bruce played from 1984 to 1995 1973-1983 (make-up) Paul Stanley Gene Simmons Ace Frehley Peter Criss (replaced by Eric Carr (until June 1983) Ace Frehley (until 1982) - replaced by Vinnie Vincent (until June 1983) 1983-1995 (non make-up) Paul Stanley Gene Simmons Eric Carr [Died Nov. 1991] (replaced by Eric Singer 1991-1996) Vinnie Vincent (until 1984 - replace by Mark St. John 1984 for Album and 3 shows "2 half shows and one full shows" [Died 2007] - replaced by Bruce Kulick (1984-1995) 1996-2023 (make-up) Paul Stanley Gene Simmons Ace Frehley (until 2002) - replaced by Tommy Thayer 2002-2023 Peter Criss (replaced by Eric Singer 2001−2002) - Peter came back 2002-2004 then Eric Singer came back for good 2004-2023 Whew got that, so Mark St John and Bruce Kulick are they only members not to wear make-up & costumes.

The late, great Eric Carr was a beast on the skins. He died at the age of 41 from cancer. His death was largely passed over by a lot of music media at the time because he died on the same day as Queen's Freddie Mercury. It was a rough day for rock fans.

Hope to watch you react to some studio cuts as well. The creatures of the night, Revenge and The Elder would be cool to have your take on.

Don't get me wrong Space Ace was my absolute hero when my uncle Kevin gave me like EVERY Kiss Album ever up to Kiss Killers , & it was the EAST German release album, Every album + their solo effort albums, But technically Bruce Kulick is better, & Vinnie Vincent who actually recorded & Created almost ALL the guitar tracks for the Dynasty Album, Because Ace was always too drunk to record, But Vinnie was an absolute Beast , Would have to put him at top of Kiss Guitarist

[@normbittner3762]

Bruce Kulic was a great talent- not as much emotion or melody in his playing compared to Ace, so Ace is my favorite. His brother Bob Kulic, who passed a couple years ago, played on some Kiss tracks, in particular Larger Than Life on Kiss Alive 2- amazing song and guitar work and I thought it was Ace for a long time. Yes- very deep track.

[@michaelmaldonado5648]

[@markcloer2274]

My second favorite lineup (behind the original) was the Kulick/Singer era.

[@Jimmie_Rudolfsson]

Although not one of their better 80s songs, Bruce and Eric Carr was perfect for that late 80s era of the band.

[@snakeinthegrass7443]

When you said, "Van Halen", I was thinking to myself throughout the solo that he should probably develop his own style instead of trying to play like Eddie. I don't mean that Eddie "owns" tapping or any other technique, But it seemed to me like everything he did was from Eddie's catalogue. The song was def hard-driving but not very well put together. Idk. I'm nobody, but that is my opinion. First time hearing this. You can pull anything from the 80s by them and chances are that I haven't heard it unless it became a radio hit. Killer drummer and killer guitar player but they can't take the place of the original gangsters - Peter and Ace, the soul of Kiss.🤘🤘

[@joelhammond4162]

Bruce's older brother Bob was also involved with KISS, but more as a studio session artist rather than an official band member, especially during the period before Ace was fired but struggling with drug/alcohol dependency. Bob helped Bruce get the gig with KISS after Vinnie Vincent left the band. Bruce went on to play with later incarnations of Grand Funk Railroad for quite a few years. Super nice guy, sat next to him on a plane and thought it looked like him, but saw he was wearing a GFR denim jacket. So finally as I asked him if he was Bruce Kulick that played with KISS and we ended up chatting about music quite a while. I forced myself to talk to him about GFR and their music catalog since that was his current gig and he seemed surprised but appreciative of that, since most people don't know about GFR as much as KISS. ❤
