[edit] Early years
Kulick toured the world on Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell" tour in 1977-78, and was briefly a member of Long Island's Good Rats. He was also in the band Blackjack with Michael Bolton, and also played on several Michael Bolton solo albums. (Bolton later co-wrote the KISS song "Forever", from Hot in the Shade).
[edit] KISS
Kulick is best known as lead guitarist for the rock band KISS from September 1984 to February 1996. He is the brother of guitarist Bob Kulick, who himself played with KISS as a ghost guitarist, as well as playing with Paul Stanley as a solo artist.
The song "I Walk Alone" from Carnival of Souls: The Final Sessions is the only KISS track to feature Kulick as lead vocalist.
[edit] Union
When KISS' original members reunited in February 1996, Kulick left to form Union with John Corabi, Mötley Crüe's vocalist during Vince Neil's absence.
In January 2005 Bruce released the first Union DVD, Do Your Own Thing Live. This DVD contained two full length Union concerts and a lot of extra bonus material.
Union played in Japan, January 2005 and Germany, November 2005.

Bruce appears on the Lordi album The Arockalypse on the song It Snows In Hell, playing lead guitar.
