Former KISS Guitarist KULICK: I Was Not Asked To Participate In 'VH1 Rock Honors'

June 12, 2006

Former KISS/current GRAND FUNK RAILROAD guitarist Bruce Kulick has posted a lengthy update on his official web site. A couple of excerpts from his posting follow:

"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 '80s 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 as the 'headliner' of the 'VH1 Rock Honors' show. 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 [Frehley], 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 [Singer] and Tommy [Thayer] for kicking some serious rock butt, Gene [Simmons] for spitting and gyrating like a 25-year-old horny beast, and Paul [Stanley] 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!'"
