Bruce is such a cool, awesome, kind, amazing person. I'm sure he'd be glad to watch this video and help answer some questions about it. You should definitely try interviewing him. He's so responsive to fans and open to interacting. I can't stress how awesome Bruce is, I've met him 3 times, all 3 times are highlights of my life.
Well, my post from earlier seems to have disappeared. The photo of BK with the blue Ironbird is mine; he autographed it for me in June of 2009 after a Grand Funk show. He said that it developed neck issues, and gave it to a roadie. I've got one of the ESP signature models, too; he sold them through a KISS website & said that I bought the first one. It's also got one of his own cases, because the factory was out of new ones at the time.
Bruce was awesome in Kiss, he was smart and didn't try to emulate Ace's solo style. He brought to Kiss his own style of playing and carefully added his own touches to the classic songs that Ace had set on record. Bruce was in Kiss for their most difficult period, but as history now tells it was a time of some of the best albums and new songs. Songs that sadly today in the live Kiss shows are all but ignored.
The BC Rich Eagle has been use by Bruce when he was briefly in the NY band The Good Rats! Late 70's early 80's. Probably 1981. There's a RUclips video call WLIR Block party very rare! Live in the park. Hempstead Long Island.
Great info as usual. This is going to be my all time favorite video from you due to the fact that I'm a Guitarist whose obsessed with learning as much as possible about my Heroes Guitar collections. Well done , dude.
Bruce Kulick must have nerves of steel. He jumped into a world famous band with weeks' notice, where he replaced not only an iconic 70's guitar hero but also covered Vinnie's shred parts and the new stuff featuring a virtuoso who was too ill to play. Quite a tall order.
Bruce also had a rare ESP purple Les Paul. I saw him use it during the Hot in the Shade or Crazy Nights tour. in NY. I can't remember which one but it was one of those tours.
You're wrong about the guitar that got stolen... the one that got stolen is the one with the custom graphic on it. I know this for sure because Bruce has a series in his channel where I left him a message asking about that guitar, he replied it had been stolen.

Bruce is my favorite KISS guitarist; thanks for making this, he's so badass
My favorite Guitarist
As has been mentioned below somewhere, this is the sort of content that works so well on RUclips. Direct, to the point, and informative. Great job!
Man, I watched a video for Paul, Gene, and Ace in that order. I'm glad to see a video for Bruce too.
Very cool video. Bruce is one of my favorite guitarist of all time. Thanks for doing this video.

I like Ace's solos played the way he recorded them.IDC who's playing them.
THAT'S how I want to hear them live.🤟
My 2 most fave nasty KISS songs .....Rise to It and Domino.....were made possible by BK. ❤❤❤
Bruce also used a natural wood guitar in parts of the Tokyo 1988 proshot video.

You’re right! I think that might’ve been Hot in the Shade.
Love these segments
what about the ovations on unplugged?
You missed one from the Animalize tour. Along with the blue and gold Charvels there was a 3rd in silver.
Well done!
Bruce is #1
I've always thought Gibson's Moderne should be a standard model, I think they look great.

Thanks for the info!
Cool thx
What would Bruce's most well known guitar be?
I’m not sure tbh. I associate him most with the white M1 with the pick guard cuz of how much I used to watch Kiss Konfidential.
Really awesome series you got going on here, love what you’re doing man. You should do another series with Gwar’s gear(:
Bruce looked a little like Steve Vai. The Roth years. Asylum tour was great.
That Les Paul Jr is a 57 . The Les Paul Custom is a 55 . What Bruce records with and plays on stage are totally different. I
They said he was a Gasser a egg gasser
A lot of their guitars end up stolen. Sounds like an inside job
Supposedly, Bill Aucoin used to sell stuff out of their warehouse.
@@SeanBlumenshine probably to get back some of the money he put up in the beginning
Aucoin was long gone by the time Bruce joined the band.
Definitely does.
