Bruce Kulick (born on

Brooklyn,
New York) was the lead
guitarist for the rock band
KISS from
September 1984 to
February 1996. The song
"I Walk Alone" from
Carnival of Souls: 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.
