KISS "35 Years of Crazy Nights" by Bruce Kulick

[@ubermensch6669]

Bruce kulick is such an underrated guitarist ,he definitely held his own in the 80s and 90s

[@speedfreakjive8843]

Bruce was so good, and totally underappreciated. His work on the Unplugged album was unreal.

[@user-yx8kd2nn4i]

Agree

[@krasspenn]

Absolutely without a doubt the most talented guitarist KISS has ever had and this comes from a fan that saw them live in the 70s. He's tight clean and masterful. Thank you Bruce for all the great work you have done.

[@jeffreykoger3978]

I agree! I think the Unplugged special showed Bruce's skills to everyone!

[@tonyruiz1976]

Bruce's guitar 🎸 work with KISS is unmatched ...nothing but the best guitar 🎸 playing for the songs 🎵 👌 awesome work 👏 ✌️🤘

[@michaelmaiullari3782]

What kind of drugs do you take how can you say Bruce culick is better than Ace Frehley brother I guess opinions are for everybody we all have one

[@rticle15]

@@michaelmaiullari3782 you can surely debate that Ace's contribution was greater but from a technical sense, he's nowhere near Bruce.

[@brianstrutter1501]

@@michaelmaiullari3782 - what kind of drugs do you take? No way Ace is better than Bruce on any level. Bruce the better guitarist was also a much better bandmate and had a lot more contributions to songs because he was a much more active member. You Ace fans need to get a clue. Ace didn't do near as much as you fantasize that he did. He wrote a few great songs but for the most part he wasn't around when the greatest KISS songs were written. He just came in and played the solos, and didn't even play on all the solos because HE WASN'T THERE

[@jcwm01]

I've been a KISS fan since 1975. Bruce is easily the best lead guitarist of them all. Such a talent. Cheers!

Since 1987 & This album for me. But I agree with you. Bruce is the best Guitarist in "kisstory" Ace was good, don't get me wrong.

[@jcwm01]

@@gregsretromusicchannel7000 Ace is one of my main guitar influences and I love his style. Bruce is a much more talented player though, IMO. A fantastic combination of style, tone and technique. 👍

[@gjluj]

Bruce is the best guitar player technically. But Ace's dirty sound was perfect for Kiss, especially in the 70s era.

[@jcwm01]

@@gjluj Agreed!

[@leokimvideo]

Bruce you added some brilliant playing during the heights of Kiss in their no makeup era. It was also a time of some amazing songs. But best of all Bruce you didn't play like a 'Fake Frehley'. When you did play the Kiss classics you added your sting to them without destroying the original DNA Ace put into the songs. Your work in Kiss was always outstanding. Crazy Nights was also a time when Pauls vocals were at his most mature. It was the peak of his singing career. So distant Vs what you hear on the bands final tour.

[@johnburke4852]

Well said, I couldn't agree more!

[@CRAZYCANUCKTV]

Thats a huge part of why he can't sing like that anymore, he really pushed his vocals to hit all those high notes for yrs and yrs. That and father time

[@Dondoubleu3]

Brother Bruce, you shine so brightly on this album. Your solos are sublime! You made this album the classic it is!! 🤩

[@NikkieRoxxx]

Ooo yes, his fingers were on FIRE!

[@morbid1]

That’s what I say too ! His okays his ass off on Crazy Nights but people hate on that album

[@GaryMoyle_RR]

Every solo is a face melter on that record! Amazing playing by Bruce and outstanding production by Ron Nevison!

[@MrStarfalleyes]

My absolute favorite Kiss album, got it on casette when i was 7 years old,now i`m 41 and still listen to it again and again and again 🙂🙂

[@szilardtoth8814]

Still has the long play vinyl record.

[@MAROM335]

It's so good and overall highly underrated. Some of my earliest memories of music.

[@kellers5696]

Yas! Long live Eric Carr and Bruce Kulick!

[@gojohngo106]

Turn On The Night should have been a massive hit.

[@NeedleDropRules]

This album has a special place in my heart. It was the first time I saw KISS live. At the UIC Pavilion in Chicago. I was already huge in the band, but seeing you all in person made me 100% a fan for life.

[@spiritualhammer392]

Hey - I was at the UIC that night, too! It was LOUD!

[@abeing6817]

Same. The Philly PA show

[@crisrose521]

I was there for my best friends Bday . We had 2nd row DEAD CENTER and I payed a whopping $75 per ticket , which was a MOUNTAIN of money back then . Bruce threw me a gtr pick and I caught it lol

[@FirebrandVOCALS]

Kiss were my first concert… the very last date on the crazy tour Kings Hall Belfast Northern Ireland 1988

You’re the man Bruce. So humble n down to earth. Thanks for your contributions to the the mighty KISS. 👍🏻👍🏻

Turn on the night is great. Such a shame KISS never played it. Todd Kearns knocked it out of the park !

[@ElizabethGillis-Bennett-ot6rj]

They played it in Worcester ma where they filmed video

[@jondunmore4268]

One of KISS's best ever songs. And definitely the jewel of the Crazy Nights album.

[@mikelborg2000]

Thank you Bruce.

[@jackgattinella8477]

Nice clip of me in the Simmons makeup 8 minutes into the clip... "Turn on the night"

[@williamparham474]

I’m 28 now.. and grew up listening to the Original 4. At about 6 I got more into 80’s KISS with my dad’s suggestion of branching out from the early albums. I fell for it hard. Eric was the reason I started playing the drums.. I met my wife about 4 years ago. She didn’t like KISS until I showed her 80’s KISS. Reason to Live is our song. Your solo on it was so beautiful. Thank you for being a friend to Eric. He truly was a good man, and thank you for being such a class act. We love you Bruce. Once a KISS member, always a KISS member! 🤘🏻

[@vholley7385]

Reason to Live got me through many rough times. It has literally saved my life throughout my teens to my forty's. It's a powerful song that in many instances was the only thing to tell me that I did indeed have a Reason to Live. Bruce, I gotta say, and I'm sure I'm not alone, you are most definitely the best guitarist KISS ever had. Thank you! TLHolley

[@Kissfan96dr]

I'm not alone...when I'm strong inside. words that get you through the fight and come out victorious. I hear ya on that one.

[@olegoathiking1962]

You should be in the Rock and Roll hall of fame as a KISS member. You ROCK!

[@ryanmarshall8160]

Epic flashback as always Bruce!! I was 8 years old when Crazy Nights came out, and my Dad always purchased the record and the cassette whenever a new KISS album came out, and i remember sitting on his drum throne with his studio headphones on and i listened to the whole cassette in one sitting and was just awe struck, your solo work made me want to play guitar soo bad, and in fact that album was what inspired me to play. Then in 1995 Dad and i went to the first KISS convention at the Beverly Hilton, i was 15 years old and in KISS heaven. Then as Dad and i are browsing through all of the memorabilia, here pops up my inspiration Bruce Kulick!! I know its not much to you, but you signed my Revenge tour book and spent like 20 minutes with me just talking guitars, gear and techniques, probably the best moment of my life at that time. Bruce you will always be my favorite lead guitarist!! Much love and respect.

[@romainlavoie1526]

Crazy Nights was and still is one SOLID album ! I was 19 at the time and during the Summer of the album's release Bar's played Crazy Nights and Turn on the Night on a regular basis ! The dance floor would ALWAYS packed itself with BABES ! I mean jammed packed ! And we would all be part of it singing along the band '''' TURN ON THE NIGHT '''''

[@ZakEdwardsOfficial]

Bruce you played exceptionally on this album. Easily one of my favorite Kiss albums. Your time in the band was my favorite era. The best songwriting of their career.

[@HirokiSatow]

I was 11 years old at the time." Crazy Crazy Nights" is very special to me. I started playing ROCK then and I am still doing it. Thank you, Bruce. From Japan.

[@Muppio]

Hearing demos of Crazy Nights is real cool.

[@CRAZYCANUCKTV]

Bruce is by far their best lead guitarist of all time, the versatility, the tone, unmatched!

[@northsea177]

I can't believe that turn on the night never was played live. That song is so good like the rest of the singles.

[@BandofBrothersTours]

True story, the song Reason To Live kinda saved my life when I was a kid. Lost my girlfriend and had a death in my family and I was broken. This album but this song made a huge difference in my life. Every body’s got a dream and a hunger inside. Loved the song so much. Still do.

[@javtimestwo]

Bruce, great job putting this video together. You are so modest. "Reason To Live" should've been a top 10 radio hit and "Turn On The Night" should've at least been a top 20 radio hit. Those songs were just as catchy and just as strong as the peers from that era. IMO, Ron ruined the album and sound of Kiss in '87. In the end, Ron was the wrong choice and waiting for him to finish the Heart record did not pay off like everybody had hoped.

[@kcmikey23]

No, No, No is one of my absolute faves-- so much energy!! Great to see you highlight it here! This really is an outstanding album!

Thanks for keeping this era of KISSTORY "Alive" with these great stories and videos, Bruce. Myself and your worldwide fans truly appreciate you. Stay awesome!

I absolutely love this album for Paul’s songs and the guitar work by Bruce. Paul was at the top of his game with his voice especially on I’ll Fight Hell To Hold You, My Way and Reason To Live. Definitely in my top 3 KISS albums.

[@thoule204]

Totally agree with you! 👍

[@jtmichaelson]

I LOVE KISS and Crazy Nights is probably the best unmasked era album. So many really great songs came from it and as a radio programmer (DJ) I play "Reason To Live", "Thief In The Night" and "Crazy Crazy Nights" often. "Reason To Live" seems to be popular among my listeners and I get a request for that one once a week at least.

I love how Bruce care so much about the material from his time in the band. I feel like Gene and Paul gloss over it sometimes and it is such strong material. I made a Kiss playlist on my Apple Music and I was surprised how many songs from his era made my playlist compared to songs from the 70s albums.

Crazy Nights was always one of my favorites --a really underrated album. When I was 15, my uncle got it for me for Christmas and it was pure magic. I probably listened to that album straight through 50 times before Christmas break was up. Hoping to hear some of these songs on the Kruise next month.

[@gmrios]

Bruce was the best guitarists KISS ever had. Seriously. He had it together mentally, physically, and most importantly, musically. I've been a Kiss fan since 1976. Love the original lineup but Bruce doesn't get enough credit for his contributions to the band. Plus, he's not full of himself. That alone is worth it's weight in gold.

Ace inspired me to pick up the guitar. You inspired me to be better. I loved the way that you used pieces of Ace's solos, but added your own flavor. I saw you live in my hometown and I was blown away by your playing. KISS needed you to bring stability to lead guitar and the writing. I had really dropped off listening to KISS, but your playing brought me back. Even Vinnie Vincent didn't do that for me.

Fantastic album! For me, nothing in the Kiss discography compares to the Kulick era. I know this is controversial because for most fans the original masked Kiss is the real deal with Ace & Peter from the 70s but for me, who was socialized on the music of the 80s, all my favorite Kiss songs were born in the unmasked period.

Then I created a fan club called Kiss Coalition in 92 with the Revenge LP. My favorite Kiss Studio recording. I met Bruce several times on this tour and he actually spent time with our people and answered many Fanzine questionnaires by mail. Yes the handwriting matched from meet and greets to the mail. He is a gentleman. Great to have spent time with you and corresponded. Greatest Kiss guitarist of the lot. Including the Space Guy.

Dear Mr. Kulick, I had the privilege of witnessing your amazing abilities live on the 'Hot In The Shade Tour' (1990) and 'Revenge Tour' (1992) at the iconic Montreal Forum (ice hockey temple, home of the Canadiens). 'Crazy Nights' remains my all-time favourite KISS studio album and you are my favourite KISS guitarist. Your talents as a musician elevated KISS in the 1980s and 1990s to another musical plateau. Thank you for your many important contributions to KISSHistory between 1984 and 1998. P.S. I have a 'Crazy Nights' shrine in my music room.

Crazy Nights is such a underrated album but remembered by so many in that era. You are a class “A” guitarist and the smartest/ most intelligent of them all! Like your brother Bob, you speak very intelligently and it also shows and sounds in the music. Reason to Live, I’ll fight hell, Turn on the Night, and the great anthem Crazy Nights are fantastic standouts!
