The Reason To Live Solo made me want to become a guitar player. Thank you so much for your tasty and melodic solos that inspired so many of us. Thank you!
Best KISS videos out there. Bruce never says anything bad about any of his bandmates, but just talks about how awesome it was t o be in KISS. Keep them coming Bruce!!!!
Hi Bruce. I've said it many times before but I'll say it again, your era of KISS is awesome! Thanks for all of these videos and for helping to keep the memory of Eric Carr alive.
I’ve been a KISS fan since ‘76 but the Bruce years were my high school years,the formative years.The best shows,the memories.Was there for the taping of ‘Turn on the Night’ video in Worcester,MA.! ‘Crazy Nights’ was a magical time.Thanks a million Bruce for the memories that last a lifetime...
I was there with you in the dressing room with the Dutch Kiss Army, right before the concert at Wembley in 1988. An era where that kind of encounters were still possible. tI was an exiciting moment. The whole band took time with us to talk, sign stuff, take pictures, make jokes, etc. Once finished we take out seats in the hall and 2 minutes later you walk on stage.. I wille never forget this day...thank you so much
Glad for all the great memories Bruce. Hope you and your family are doing good. Always loved you showmanship. Saw you many times at Richfield coliseum, Cleveland ohio. Alway look forward to your updates. Rock on Bruce.
That was such a killer time for KISS, IMO. the makeup era was over, but the songs were honored. The newer songs sounded so amazing with Paul's vocals at the top of their game, and all three of you guys were running all over the stage. Ahh, the joys of our younger days ❤ thanks for sharing this, Bruce. You and I met back in the late 90s when Union played at a bar in the middle of the Upper Peninsula of Michigan called the Tumble Inn. The picture of us ended up in the back pages of Metal Edge magazine. A great moment for me for sure. Hope to see you the next time you come through the Clearwater/St. Pete Florida area. Peace, John
I came across KISS in 1982 and kept waiting for them to come to Japan.And finally they came to the land of the rising sun in 1988 ! I saw Paul, Gene, Eric and ,last not but least,Bruce for the first time in my life at the age of 18. Without Bruce and Eric, KISS couldn't have survived through the 80's.
Greatest song of the 80s that said what the 80s were about. And the video for the song was the best IMO. 🤘🤘 thank you Bruce for everything you did in the band. You've always been a member of KISS 🤘🤘 and always will be. You weren't just, a hired gun, so to speak. Love this era of KISS. Especially, crazy night's and revenge.
Saw the show in OKC. We spent weeks preparing a very visual/intricate banner. When we tossed it on stage the lights went out. When the light came on paul was wearing it like a cape. Thrilling!!!
The Crazy Nights album/era is one my favorite eras for Kiss! Love all the tracks off of Crazy Nights! Top 3 songs off the record, I'll Fight Hell To Hold You, Reason To Live, and Turn On The Night.
Bruce is MY Kiss guitar player. He’s the one who was there from when I was 11 years old and onward. Nicest guy I’ve ever met. Really took the time to listen and I’ve always been happy to be a fan of his and his era of Kiss!!! Thanks Bruce!!
I am glad I ran into this video. Thanks Bruce. You were my favorite era of Kiss. Being a teen in the mid to late eighties I used to listen to this album a lot back then. Been a while so now I had to go listen through after watching this video. Thanks for taking me back.
Bruce!! Love your videos! Seeing this era brings back so many good memories!!! Your talent - and your important position in KISSTORY!! Thanks to you and Lisa for sharing!!
Great video. The best KISS show i ever saw was night 1 at the Ritz in NYC. No bombs. No pyro. No huge light show. Just the great tunes and tons of energy from the band and fans alike.
This was my first concert, Jan. 2, 1988, Knoxville, TN. I was such a massive Kiss fan in those days, I couldn't believe I was actually seeing them live. Saw them with Bruce 3x, Crazy Nights and twice on HITS.
Saw this tour back in the day in Tulsa. They were with Faster Pussycat and Slaughter. Some of the band members came to the local Woodland Hills Mall. Didn't see Bruce there but met Eric Carr inside the Kaybe Toys store, and got to talk for a long while with Paul Stanley. Good times.
Great stuff. BY FAR. ONE of my BEST CONCERTS EVER... KISS in Salina Ks on Asylum tour.. I was just WOWED.... Will NEVER FORGET the COLORS ...POWER .. GIANT KISS SIGN. And of Course The LEGENDARY MUSIC....THANKS BRUCE And Company....
Although I knew about KISS before 1988, I started listening to their music from the release of their Crazy Nights LP. I also watched the 1988 Tokyo concert on TV around that time and absolutely enjoyed it without makeup and other additional stage theatrics.
OMG, I was lucky and blessed to see KISS three times on the Crazy Nights tour! Germany, Glens Falls civic center and New Hampshire fair grounds. Bruce Kulick #1!!!!!! Great times, thanks for sharing!
@tscott. My friend Gilby drove a limo for Gene at the New Hampshire gig and soundtracks. He has pics of him with Gene. Gene made him take.all the little mini bottles of alcohol out of the limo mini bar before he drove in it.! Gilby also recorded with video camera good portion of soundtrack where they do a version of Deuce that's probably the most ferocious version I ever heard.!!
I got to see 3 shows during that tour. My dream came true at the Nassau Coliseum show . I finally got back stage and met you guys. I still have the signed tour book with the backstage pass on it with your autograph Bruce . I was also at both Ritz shows and yes it was hotter than hell . My buddy jumped on stage that night and Gene gave him a high 5 . One of my favorite tours of all time.
At the tender age of 13, I joined the KISS Army in 1987-88 during the Crazy Nights era. It's nice to see a great retrospective of the era I came in at.
I remember buying a music magazine in the late summer of 1987, when I'd just entered high school. I was 15. There was a long interview with Gene Simmons, where he gave a song-by-song rundown on the new album. He also reflected on 80s Kiss compared to the original lineup. He spoke fondly about both versions of the group but insisted that he didn't miss the old days. He came across as very straight forward and with a lot of affection for his then-current band mates as well as for Ace and Peter. In between the lines he made it clear that life on the road can destroy people, and he didn't enter the blame game at all.
I only saw KISS twice, the Crazy Nights & Hot in the Shade tours. I was too young for the early make-up days, and I gave up my only in makeup ticket to be in a friend's wedding. I know it isn't a popular following but I preferred you to the latter years with Tommy Thayer ( I loved his Black'nBlue days.) You are awesome, thanks for the memories.
I seen that tour I was 16 years old here in Houston. It was at the summit and Ted Nugent open the show it was glorious. I am a lifelong kiss fan and I love all of your work with the band and your other stuff as well. You are a fantastic guitar player.. Cheers..
I remember that tour well. You guys were in Louisville, I believe a day or two before or after Christmas. Freedom hall. I absolutely loved the show but our town didn't really show up that night, which really disappointed me because it was a packed house for the Asylum concert two years earlier. I know the weather had been pretty bad and it was really cold outside so maybe that played a role. But nonetheless I thought you guys put on a great performance and your guitar playing was smoking that night. I loved the light effects on the KISS sign during "Reason to Live" too. I wish I could find a pro shot of one of those concerts somewhere.
Many people will think this is lame but this is my fav Kiss album because this is the album I was introduced to Kiss. I became a fan of Kiss's other music.
I went to both nights in Edinburgh, still have Gene Simmons' plectrum. I also went to Donnington that year. Great line up but a tragic day. It was terrifying when GnR hit the stage that day.

This is so refreshing compared to Gene and Paul complaining about previous band members. This is a great and interesting history lesson.
The Reason To Live Solo made me want to become a guitar player. Thank you so much for your tasty and melodic solos that inspired so many of us. Thank you!
Eu também!!!
Excellent song to start your musical career with!
God times
👏👏👍👍👍👍👍👍

Hi Bruce. I've said it many times before but I'll say it again, your era of KISS is awesome! Thanks for all of these videos and for helping to keep the memory of Eric Carr alive.
The Crazy Nights tour was my first time seeing KISS live in 1988. I was 18 at the time and it was awesome. Thanks for sharing this Bruce.
For those who incessantly whine about Ace should listen to how good Bruce is here !! 🙄
Same here ! I saw real KISS for the first time in 1988 when I was 18 !
I’ve been a KISS fan since ‘76 but the Bruce years were my high school years,the formative years.The best shows,the memories.Was there for the taping of ‘Turn on the Night’ video in Worcester,MA.! ‘Crazy Nights’ was a magical time.Thanks a million Bruce for the memories that last a lifetime...
Amen!! Me too!
I was a fan since 75.! My high school years were 10th grade with Unmasked album. 11th with The Elder. 12th senior year Creatures.!
Crazy Nights was my introduction into KISS in 1989. Good and happy times for a 11 year old.
Hi Bruce!
I miss that time...
I love this song!
kisses from Brazil 😘🤘🏼🇧🇷
Olá Mary ontem 27/08 fez 35 anos do primeiro Monster's of Rock no Brasil!Eu assisti o KISS com Bruce Kulick na guitarra!

Wow, Bruce was and still is a madman on the guitar.. Thank you, Bruce for all the awesome guitar work..
I was front row in London when KISS played in ‘88! Amazing! Got Paul’s guitar neck that night too!
Eric vocals were great, what a beast he was!
Glad for all the great memories Bruce. Hope you and your family are doing good. Always loved you showmanship. Saw you many times at Richfield coliseum, Cleveland ohio. Alway look forward to your updates. Rock on Bruce.

By far my fave guitarist Kiss ever had.
I was at the Freedom hall show in Johnson City TN when you became Kisstory❤🎉
Saw you in Bradford and it blew my mind… just amazing
I was there too. Good times
In 1988 I was a highscool senior. Great times and great music. Thanks for the video Bruce.
Thanks so much for posting these videos Bruce.
Eric was a great drummer and had such a powerful voice, what a treat to hear him again.
This was my first concert I remember you filmed the turn on the night video at the show in Worcester. I was 12 years old thank you Bruce

Bruce is such an awesome player.

I love 80s KISS! It was the music of my youth.

The Crazy Nights album/era is one my favorite eras for Kiss! Love all the tracks off of Crazy Nights! Top 3 songs off the record, I'll Fight Hell To Hold You, Reason To Live, and Turn On The Night.
My favorite lineup it's the original for obvious reasons, but KISS best lineup was definitely the one including Bruce Kulick and. Eric Carr
WOW !! My first concert - 16yo. At the St. Paul Civic Center.
White Lion opened !! AMAZING !!
Hot in the shade album is one of my all time favs. Whole album is great. Id love to see you with them again. It fit really well.
Bruce is MY Kiss guitar player. He’s the one who was there from when I was 11 years old and onward. Nicest guy I’ve ever met. Really took the time to listen and I’ve always been happy to be a fan of his and his era of Kiss!!! Thanks Bruce!!

There were only two KISS guitar players. Ace, and yourself. 👏
Melhor guitarrista solista que o KIss teve até hoje, sensacional o Bruce!
Ripping solo in Japan Bruce!! Crazy nights was great
Bruce!! Love your videos! Seeing this era brings back so many good memories!!! Your talent - and your important position in KISSTORY!! Thanks to you and Lisa for sharing!!

With Faster Pussycat and Slaughter that would have been the Hot in the Shade tour
The Bruce era of Kiss was the best !
Great stuff. BY FAR. ONE of my BEST CONCERTS EVER... KISS in Salina Ks on Asylum tour.. I was just WOWED.... Will NEVER FORGET the COLORS ...POWER .. GIANT KISS SIGN. And of Course The LEGENDARY MUSIC....THANKS BRUCE And Company....
Thanks Bruce for sharing this! You Rock man! Greets from Marcel The Netherlands Europe 🤘🤟🤘🤟🤘🤟
12/12/87: Saw this tour in Providence, RI and it was Bruce’s birthday I think.
My first concert ever, 13 years old!
I was there at Wembley & I can't believe nothing was filmed. My first show but on that tour there was no stage production.
Although I knew about KISS before 1988, I started listening to their music from the release of their Crazy Nights LP. I also watched the 1988 Tokyo concert on TV around that time and absolutely enjoyed it without makeup and other additional stage theatrics.

¡Enhorabuena a ti, sexy Bruce Kulick! ¡Fantástico trabajo, Andrew Sgambati! ¡Curt Gooch no reclamará esto!
Awesome Bruce, the very best of the non makeup era is this lineup 🤟🏼❤️
I got to see 3 shows during that tour. My dream came true at the Nassau Coliseum show . I finally got back stage and met you guys. I still have the signed tour book with the backstage pass on it with your autograph Bruce . I was also at both Ritz shows and yes it was hotter than hell .

Hi Bruce! Always great to see a post from you!🎸
I went crazy with KISS!
The BEST era of the band hands down!
💪😎👍
I saw the Asylum tour in 85 was amazing!
I was there!!!!! Monsters of Rock '88 Germany.
At the tender age of 13, I joined the KISS Army in 1987-88 during the Crazy Nights era. It's nice to see a great retrospective of the era I came in at.
Great resumen.
Very cool video and photos!
Nice to include Eric’s songs!!
Thanks so much!

Great memories of a period of Kisstory that I don't think about too often.
I was at 4 UK shows: Donington, Bradford and the two in Edinburgh.
Thanks Bruce for all the KISS and non kiss music! 🤘😎🤘
I saw this tour in Indy in ‘88. First time I saw KISS live.
I only saw KISS twice, the Crazy Nights & Hot in the Shade tours. I was too young for the early make-up days, and I gave up my only in makeup ticket to be in a friend's wedding.
I know it isn't a popular following but I preferred you to the latter years with Tommy Thayer ( I loved his Black'nBlue days.)
You are awesome, thanks for the memories.
Cool dedication. Thanks, for waving the flag for this era and line up.
Love your videos, Bruce. Keep 'em coming!
Wow ! I enjoy this much. For me Kiss died when bruce left kiss.
Great video, keep stuff like this coming.
Must have been a blast man✌️🇨🇦👋
Kolorful KISS! I love Crazy Nights. Great pop rock music 😎
Good Girl Gone Bad and My Way the choice deep cuts for me.
Excellent, great memories. Was at Donington and Wembley, awesome shows 🤘
Awesome video Bruce. Crazy Nights might just be the first KISS song I can ever remember hearing 😊
Hi Bruce live ya man great memories here!!!
I saw them perform that year at the Bell County Expo Center in Central Texas. Small crowd but they still kept the energy high and put on a great show!
Bruce you and Eric are what made that band have great music in the 80s
I have an original poster of crazy nights 1988, it’s a treasure
Thanks Bruce! Love your KISS anniversary videos. 🤘🏻
Saw you guys in Stockholm 1988 it was great!
Crazy Nights is a great kiss album
Crazy Nights Toronto was my first KISS show
Manythnx Bruce
I seen that tour I was 16 years old here in Houston. It was at the summit and Ted Nugent open the show it was glorious. I am a lifelong kiss fan and I love all of your work with the band and your other stuff as well. You are a fantastic guitar player.. Cheers..
FYI: Denmark is very much a part of Scandinavia, even though the country is separated from Sweden and Norway by sea and sound. Great video, Bruce!
Yea that's what I was thinking when I watched. Don't forget the Danes
I remember that tour well. You guys were in Louisville, I believe a day or two before or after Christmas. Freedom hall. I absolutely loved the show but our town didn't really show up that night, which really disappointed me because it was a packed house for the Asylum concert two years earlier.
