From: Kulick.net Sorry it has been a while since my last posting. Lots to share with you all so let's begin with the big NY KISS Expo. I haven't been to one in a while, so it was great to meet the fans and play some guitar for them all. It was a great turnout. I featured some new photos, and besides taking photos with the fans and answering questions, of course playing live to my backing CD was tremendous. I did songs from Revenge and one from each of my solo discs, Audiodog and Transformer. As always, everyone had a great time. I love the East Coast, so thank you all for coming to see me at the Expo. I look forward to some more events this year. A few weeks after that a band from Finland called LORDI won a huge award in Europe. They are big KISS fans and especially into the era of the 80's that I performed with KISS. I was contacted late last year to be included as a guest soloist on one of their songs. I heard they were popular, but now they are exploding! I played classic Revenge style licks on the track "It Snows In Hell", which I think is the next single from their new CD. So I will be getting some nice gold and platinum discs from the group. With technology these days, you don't have even meet the artist, they can just send you via the Internet the track to perform on, go to a studio, and email back! That is so unreal, but you would never know the difference. I hope to meet them in person soon and properly congratulate them. They certainly know how to rock in Finland! Speaking of awards, I was proud to see KISS so prominently featured on the VH-1 Rock Honors program, where they performed as the closing act. For the record, I was not asked to participate and, truth be told, in the world of make-up only KISS I am not sure how I could quite fit in. It would have been great to jam with Ace, but I watched the show from my home. My comments... Happy for Ace to be out there with his Revenge style goatee jamming out on his Blue Sparkle Les Paul, Eric and Tommy for kicking some serious rock butt, Gene for spitting and gyrating like a 25 year old horny beast, and Paul for singing up a storm. KISS's pyro and bombs were over-the-top amazing and I sat watching in awe saying to myself, "I used to play with this band! Wow!" The summer is when Grand Funk plays more often, so the dates have been keeping my fingers working furiously. I want to thank the KISS fans for coming out in support and getting into the band. Check out the dates on my Tour Dates page and/or the GFR site and come out to a show near you. I promise you won't be disappointed! While I fly around the USA, I have been writing my lyrics for the new songs from my next CD. I am really excited about it, and some close friends who have gotten a glimpse of the music were very happy with what they heard. I can't wait to get in the studio to record. Related to my solo work, I want to announce that soon you can check out and download from a link off my site, to my own digital download site called Koolickstunes.com You will be able to check out my previous solo work, and get a chance to view "things I recommend" for download. In this new digital world we live in, this exciting new service, called Burn Lounge, will bring my fans closer to my music and other tunes I think are cool. I am sure I will have some special previews of my next solo work on there in time as well, so check back to my site soon for more details on how it works. Check out my new Gibson SG 62 re-issue that Guitar Center hooked me up with. I heard Paul was digging one of these and I had to take it home. SG's were my first electric when I was first jamming. Also thanks to ESP Guitars and Jonas Productions for replacing the stolen "Snapper" guitar lost back in April in New Mexico. This new one rocks! Can't wait to jam it out on the road. Have a great June and safe July 4th... more news coming soon. BRUCE KULICK PS - I have to mention one more thing, my guilty pleasure of this book I am reading written by a staff writer for SPIN magazine, Chuck Klosterman. The book is called "Killing Yourself To Live", which his story of traveling the US in search of the places where rock icons died. He is very funny and not pretentious for a rock critic, and by the way a huge KISS fan. He also wrote another book I read titled, "Fargo Rock City". But you have to see what he wrote on page 215 about me! In his witty humor he spends a few pages "organizing" the loves in his life by thinking of members of KISS! Everyone is used in this analogy, including MARK ST JOHN. I wont give it all away of course as you should buy the book, but in light of all your emails I thought you should see what he wrote. I think it is hilarious: "I dated a photographer in Ohio who was incredibly earnest about liking me, but I never appreciated her when she was around and probably took advantage of her sexually; she was like BRUCE KULICK (who played on Crazy Nights and Revenge and a few more sans-makeup records that nobody likes but me)." BK out!!! |
