Kiss has always taken its share of knocks from the critics and sometimes, even fellow musicians. Former guitarist Bruce Kulick will be the first to tell you that’s unfair. “Nobody could play it better than those guys the way they performed it,” he explains, using the solo in “Detroit Rock City” as one particular example. “Anyone that considers Kiss simple or easy music to play, they’re idiots. This stuff is hard. It’s just that the band never got credit that way and it always should.” Kulick has had some extra time since his departure from Grand Funk Railroad became official in January, but it...

He ceded his position to Ace Frehley when the original lineup reunited and reapplied the makeup, but after Frehley left a second time in 2002, Kiss recruited Tommy Thayer instead of givin...

Bruce Kulick said he was all in favor of Kiss continuing in an avatar format – but accused his former colleagues of “dropping the ball” in the way the plan was revealed. After playing their last song at their farewell show in December, the musicians left the stage and a video revealed the band’s plans for a future as computer-generated characters. In a new interview with Chaoszine (video below), Kulick emphasized his regret that the farewell concert hadn’t featured former members in a bigger way. “They really missed making a better feel-good evening for everyone… it was much closer to every ni...
