Speaking with Loaded Radio in a new interview, former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick reflected on his tenure with the band, which ran from 1984 to 1996. Check it out below.
Kulick: "I miss being in KISS. I do realize it would have kind of pooped on my era because then I’d have to kind of play the role of the Spaceman and shoot rockets and play more like (original guitarist) Ace (Frehley). I was never given that direction from Gene (Simmons) and Paul (Stanley), where Tommy (Thayer) knew that it actually was more comfortable with his natural style of guitar playing. So, I actually kind of lost the big gig on many levels for the right reasons, though. And I was never fired the first time; it was simply, "Well, we’re making all this money. Now we’re selling out from arenas to stadiums in makeup.' So my era ran its course."
KISS Cancer Goodbye III is scheduled to take place December 6 - 8, 2024 in Sarasota, Florida. Kulick and KISS drummer Eric Singer will be performing together multiple times over the weekend.
KISS Cancer Goodbye is excited to have a huge lineup of talented and well known musicians and entertainers performing for the benefit of fighting Cancer. Anton Fig, Chris Jericho, and Todd Kerns, along with many others will be participating in this charity event.
