    I feel like they’ve treated Bruce as a very competent placeholder between the classic-Ace/Vinnie and reunion-Ace periods. He was a pivotal player that kept some musical stability during the 80s and early 90s periods. He deserves more respect and recognition.

      I was front row during the hot in the shade concert and couldn't believe how good Bruce was. he made a point every so often to look right at me and Id watch his fingers on the fret board and I was blown away at how easy he made It look.. He deserves to go Into the hall of fame with Ace Peter and Eric Carr.

    I would love to have a friend like Bruce. The is a sweet guy who would not hurt a fly. He did not get the credit he deserved for being a part of the band in those hard times when KISS needed a man like him and I'm not talking only about him being a great guitar player. People like him bring peace and don't allow chaos to spread.
    Bruce is just great and it hurts me as a KISS fan that he did not get even invited to MSG. I did not care about Ace or Peter but Bruce was always great, never threw sh... at P&G and I bet he has some spicy stories to tell but he will not do it. He has principles and shows his love for the band.
    Bruce was not treated with the respect he deserved but for me he is the best and not only because he knows how to play great riffs but also because he is just a great guy

    I had the pleasure to go to a radio event in Dallas Texas in the early 90's and was approached by Bruce. He walked up to me and we chatted about guitars and KISS. He then asked Eric Singer to join our conversation. What a great person. During that same event Paul and Gene looked at me and just kind of turned up their nose to me and the others attending the event. Bruce kind of rolled his eyes and said "Don't worry about them." I'm so glad I had an opportunity to meet an artist that truly is down to earth, kind and welcoming. and Oh yeah, Bruce led KISS through the 80's - 90's with his stellar guitar skills. God Bless You Bruce Kulick

    But as a 15 year old learning to play guitar…watching DIAL Mtv in 1985 and seeing Tears are Falling in the top 10 every single day and trying to play the song. Those are the days I’ll never forget.

He willingly stepped aside for KISS’s reunion and 1st farewell tour yet when it came time to carry on with a non - original KISS guitar player they pick Tommy Thayer over Bruce!

    I love Bruce! He was the best Kiss had to offer us fans! Such a class act, such an amazing guitarist! I met him several times at convention’s and he was such a genuinely great guy. Bruce, you were my Ace Frehley, I was too young to ever see Ace live growing up, but I saw you live and you blew me away, you were my favorite! ❤

    Agree with Bruce - Total missed opportunity. Die hard fan, thick and thin, since 1976, and I was at the last show - Big DISAPPOINTMENT. I knew too that there would be no jam session, other members invited, but I expected something other than some Avatar hype that will most likely be a flop. Sorry this happened to you Bruce, you were great in Kiss in a time that was really special. Some of the songs of your era are amazing. Keep Rockin Bruce!!

    Bruce seems like a genuine, honest person. Technically, he is also a better musician than most other members of Kiss. As a song writer? Tough to say, there are some Kiss songs where he is credited and they sound pretty good to me, but there is also stuff I don’t care for that much.

    The best way for kiss to leave off on the last concert would have been to have ace play a few songs, Peter sing Beth, Bruce in for a few songs, vining Vincent on lick it up, and pay homage to Eric Carr o with a video montage. That would have been a class act.

    • @tomani3428
      @tomani3428 5 місяців тому

      And let Eric and Tommy sing one song each from Monster or Sonic Boom. I think that "All for the glory" is not a good song, but a really great one. Eric has played on 4 albums, Tomi, starting with "Hot in the shade", is somehow present on each subsequent album, either as a guitarist or as a co-writer. And Gene also plagiarized the Domino riff from the Black n Blue song "Nasty, Nasty", which in turn has Gene's co-authorship, because there appears a riff from "Only You" from Elder, the vocalist of Black said about it 'n'Blue

      That would have been epic. Also a photo of Vinnie's replacement who also died. Fans have requested that the group did a tribute to Eric even though the classic line up performed songs from Post Make-Up era during their reunion/farewell tours during the early 2000's.

    I was so pissed when Bruce was fired in 95. I became a super kiss fan in 84 and rediscovered the makeup stuff after. Loved it. But for me Kiss was Paul, Gene, Bruce,and Eric. Then Eric S. Since then they became a tribute band.

    Nothing against Ace, as he was the original Kiss axman, or the other axmen, but Bruce was always my favorite of all the Kiss string slingers. He's an extremely well-seasoned, well-rounded player, and he can shred like a beast when he has to. I've seen him live and he's every bit as good as Lynch or Demartini.

I watched the live PPV of the last gig till 4 o'clock in the morning, in the UK, and that was after a 7 hour shift at work that finished at midnight!

    And Kiss did do a video montage of the history of the band with all eras for the original Farewell Tour in 2000. As for the Hall Of Fame, I still don't know: What about the idea of the current Kiss with Tommy and Eric playing songs with Ace and Peter, too? And Bruce. (Gene & Paul wouldn't allow Vinnie.) Some fans said the Hall Of Fame wouldn't allow anything other than just the original four members, so that's why no performance. And for others to do cover versions would have looked awkward, with seven out of eight living current/former Kiss members in the room and no one joining in.

  • @GenesisMuseum
    @GenesisMuseum 5 місяців тому +1

    I think the big reason Kiss didn't bring the past members on the tour is...honestly, some large portion of the concertgoers were there for the songs, the spectacle...and didn't even realize that Eric/Tommy were "replacements", probably didn't know the names Eric/Tommy, and would generally be confused if other members were up there.
    As a big Kiss fan, I would have LOVED to see Bruce, Vinny, Ace/Peter, even Mark St. John up there, like a great tribute to the past. But for the vast majority of concertgoers, they probably see 1 "cat" and 1 "spaceman" and that's good enough.

On HOT in the shade I thought you really started coming out of your shell. I loved that album!! Your solos were getting more melodic...and welll....perfect!! Then Revenge came out!!! This very quickly became my favorite kiss album!! THIS was quintessential kiss!!! That album was PERFECT...man I could go on and on!!! Naturally, I was INCREDIBLY psyched about the reunion tour but I was equally bummed that I wasn't getting a Revenge 2...I think kiss was on the brink of some REALLY great stuff with that lineup!! Thanks for it all bruce....love ya man!!!!
