[November 2007 - by Antonio Rodrigues Junior] Bruce was interviewed by Brazilian hard rock magazine Comando Rock in their November 2007 issue. The topics covered include: Bruce's next solo CD BK3, his visits to Brazil for KISS conventions, his time with KISS, the ESP live CD and DVD, KISSology, and much more!
[August 2006 - by Karyn Collins/Asbury Park Press] An article in the Asbury Park Press (online) that spotlights local resident Steve Savitsky's experience at the NYC Rock 'n Roll Fantasy Camp '06. Steve was a member of Bruce's band, "Hell's Kitchen", and there are serveral quotes from Bruce throughout the article.
[May 2006 - by Mike Molenda] An article in Guitar Player by Mike Molenda which recounts Molenda's experience at the 2006 Rock & Roll Fantasy Camp, where Bruce was his Camp Counselor/Band Leader.
[2006 - by Paul Southwell] An awesome interview by Paul Southwell in Australian Guitar in which Bruce covers everything from KISS to UNION to GFR to ESP, and talks guitar tech as well for all you gear heads!
[February 2006 - Andy Lye, Staff Writer/Live Editor

[2003 - by Paul Southwell] A cool 1 page article/interview with Bruce that focuses primarily on Bruce's solo CDs, as well as covering some guitar/tech info.
[April 2002 - Terri Bey and Ken Rodenas] Columbus, OH was treated to an intimate clinic with guitar great, Bruce Kulick on Wednesday, April 3. The event, sponsored by ESP guitars and KRA Music Store in Columbus, featured a very candid Bruce talking guitars, career and music. It is not a "clinic" per se in the sense that he did not go into exquisite detail on guitar techniques or go into theories and chord progressions. Instead, he played lead to songs with backing tracks and spoke a bit about the inspiration for each of the songs. And this worked perfectly since the majority of the crowd appeared to be fans, not practicing musicians.
[February 2002 - Andrew Treadwell] When Bruce first hinted to me in October last year, he was coming to Australia, I immediately couldn't wait. He didn't let me know very much, only that "It would be very exciting". Within a few weeks he let me know that he'd be coming down to do solo shows. I knew straight away how special and unique this would be so I made up a few real basic promo posters and started emailing around everyone I knew, to spread the word. I was originally planning to go to both of the shows in Sydney and Melbourne, but having a family doesn't lend it self to taking off to do stuff like that, besides, my wife would have just plain killed me. So I decided to concentrate all of my efforts on helping to make Sydney a success.

[October 2001 - Star Interviews Online] I first saw Bruce Kulick in Richfield, Ohio playing guitar for KISS in 1984. I was expecting someone named Mark St. John but he was either kicked out of KISS or had to quit, couldn't perform, depends on who you talk to. In my opinion, Bruce Kulick didn't fit in KISS. He was too good for them. Sure, you could argue that KISS is legendary and great, but I am here to tell you, Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley are showmen, not true musicians. They are good at what they do, have a large following, and I love KISS too. But that's old KISS. To me, when Bruce came into the band, it was the 'Kulick Era' because no matter how good or how bad the music was from 1984 to 1995, one thing shined, the guitar.
[September 2001 - Metal Sludge] We last talked to Bruce Kulick on September 21, 1999. Bruce has a new CD out so we thought it was time to find out what he was up to. He has a few brutal answers to a few of our questions here, so enjoy!
[July 2001 - KULICK.net] Recently Bruce took the opportunity to do a two part interview for all his fans to read here at KULICK.net so everyone could keep up to date with what's going on in Bruce's life. Here in Part One, Bruce answers questions about what's going on now -- including "Audio Dog" and Grand Funk Railroad -- as well as what's in store for the future -- convention and expo appearances, biography, and possibilities for additional solo albums among other topics. Read on to see what's going on in Bruce's life!
[June 2001 - MetalEdgeOnline.com] Let's face it, unless your name is Gene or Paul, being in KISS can be the kiss of death. How's that? Who'd have thought that Bruce Kulick--arguably the most talented guitarist in KISStory--could release an album in the height of a KISS reunion and receive a response more in line with a national guard than the KISS Army?
[April 2001 - mkultramag.com] Although Ace Frehley is considered the quintessential Kiss guitarist by most fans (he was an original member and vital force), it was Bruce Kulick who occupied Kiss' guitarist position for the longest amount of time - 11 years, from 1984-1995.
[February 2001 - Bruce Kulick Fans] Kulick.net is looking for fan reviews of Bruce's "Audio Dog" EP. Click the link above to submit a detailed "track by track" review of the Audio Dog EP and to read what the other online fans have to say about this awesome new EP from Bruce Kulick!
[September 2000 - KISS Kollector] Late September former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick spent some days in Holland to catch up with his friends down here, since he already had to be in Europe because of his appearances at the KISS Expos with glamband Shameless. He was the special guest at the KISS Expo in Zaandam (Holland) and travelled through Germany early October were he appeared as the special guest at five KISS Expos there. While in Holland, Bruce also gave a guitar clinic in Rotterdam at a store called Feedback and of course he also checked out Amsterdam while staying their and he also did a recording session at a local studio. As it had been a while since I last did an actual interview with Bruce, we also decided to do an interview at the end of the second day of his stay in Holland.
[3-14-2000 - Guitar.com] Click above to read the transcript of the Guitar.com Bruce Kulick fan chat.
[9-21-99 -- Metal Sludge] This week's interview is with Bruce Kulick. As most of you know, Bruce was in Kiss for about 10 years before he got the boot, and now he's in Union! Who needs Gene and Paul when you can have Brent Fitz and Jamie Hunting??
[8-99 -- Starlog] Despite the fact that he was their fourth lead guitarist in just three years, Bruce Kulick has the distinction of having been a member of KISS for more consecutive years than any of his predecessors, including original guitarist Ace Frehley. When Mark St. John was afflicted with the debilitating Reiter's Syndrome just prior to the Animalize world tour, it was Bruce who stepped in as a temporary-and ultimately, permanent-replacement.
- Russian KISS Army Interviews Bruce Kulick
[7-10-99 -- KISS Army Russia] Recently (in July) Bruce Kulick gave an interview for the Russian Kiss Army. Read on to see what Bruce had to say!
[5-98 -- Guitar Magazine] Getting kicked out of a band as a victim of baby-boomer reunion fever really sucks, as ex-Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick and ex-Motley Crue singer John Corabi likely would tell you. Hell, Kulick was a member of Kiss Longer than Ace Frehley (12 years versus nine for Ace). But rather than wallow in the ignominy of being replaced by original, but less talented members of those bands, Kulick and Corabi have channeled their frustrations and/or anger into their new band, Union.
[5-29-98 -- WRSE Radio]On May 29, 1998, the day which would have been their Chicago gig at Jackhammer's in nearby Schaumburg, Bruce Kulick called for a phone interview at WRSE-FM, Elmhurst College, where I was the metal music director up until my graduation two days later. Although not given the chance to be aired, the interview was very informative, and a thrill for a KISS fanatic like myself to partake in. With that, the interview follows.
[3-98 -- Good Times] When a member of a superstar band leaves to pursue other musical outlets (usually when they start believing their own press) the results are usually unremarkable. Anyone remember "Carved In Stone" by Vince Neil? Any of the solo albums released by Peter Criss? I didn't think so. So I can understand any apprehensions you may have about UNION, the new group formed by Bruce Kulick and John Corabi along with Brent Fitz and Jamie Hunting. Let me cast aside any doubts you may have. This band is the real deal and their self titled debut rocks and will surely wind up in my year end top 10.
[3-98 -- RAG Magazine] Recently RAG had the opportunity to talk with Bruce Kulick about his new band UNION and their self titled album which was released February 24th on Mayhem Records. We thought it might be interesting to have Bruce review his own album. He walked us through each track, and explains some details about each song. We started right at the top with the first track on the album.
[3-98 -- RAG Magazine] The interview in the magazine was an edited version and The UNION Asylum is proud to present, with full permission of interviewer David Fyke, the entire original interview that was the source for the magazine's edited version.
[1-98 -- The UNION Asylum] "We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect Union..... do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." Well ladies and gentlemen, it took 210 years from the time our forefathers wrote those words for it to happen, but a MOST perfect UNION has finally emerged in our great nation!!!"
[12-8-97 -- Kulick-It-Up Website] Michelle Gibson, ("Kulicker" on AOL and a HUGE Bruce Kulick fan) interviewed Bruce Kulick and here is the transcript that Michelle graciously gave us to reprint.
[11-3-97 -- America Online NightClub] See what the internet fans had to ask Bruce and John.
[10-17-97] Bruce Kulick talks about the KISS "Carnival of Souls" album, his new band UNION and more!
[11-13-96] The original Kiss reformed. Great! Well great for fans that is, but what about two of the "Johnny come lately" members now left out in the cold, Bruce Kulick (guitar) and Eric Singer (drums)? The fact is both are aware that the reunion tour is going to last at least two years, so they better be doing something else. Right now they have combined forces and are coming to Australia as part of the Unholy Downunder Tour. The tour not only includes a selection of live gigs but also special clinics for other musicians, who wish to gain from their expertise.
[11-96] Recently departed Kiss members Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer will appear at Metropolis next tuesday, November 26, as part of their Unholy Downunder clinic tour. BOB GORDON spoke to Kulick about life within and beyond Kiss.
[10-96 -- Vintage Guitar Magazine] The October 1996 issue of Vintage Guitar featured an interview with veteran guitarist Bruce Kulick, the lead guitarist for Kiss when our conversation was recorded. Just prior to press time, Kulick left that platinum-selling band, and VG opted to run his interview as it was recorded. The introduction to the interview noted Kulick's recent career move, and stated that the opportunity for an update from Kulick was in the offing. And such was the case when Bruce Kulick called Vintage Guitar's Southern Regional Office soon after his interview was published. In a brief and cordial conversation, he filled us in on the details of his departure from Kiss, and his future plans.
[9-5-96 -- America Online NightClub] So all you internet chat nuts fire away some cool questions.
[8-96 -- Vintage Guitar Magazine] This is one of those "dead-line dilemma" articles. Just a few days before this issue of VG was to go to press, media reports said guitarist Bruce Kulick and drummer Eric Singer had left Kiss, and a phone call to ESP's Matt Masciandaro confirmed such. Because Kulick's interview was recorded prior to his departure, it was decided to run the interview as it was recorded. At the very least, the opportunity for an update from Kulick is now in the offing.
Rock guitar superstar Bruce Kulick barstormed his way through his most intimate gig in the last five years - playing to just 400 fans at the city's International Guitar Festival.
[4-25-96 -- KISS Karisma Fanzine] I asked Bruce about the new album that KISS completed before Gene and Paul decided to do the reunion tour. You've all probably heard by now that Bruce is singing lead on the album for the first time on the track "I Walk Alone." I started by asking him how the band managed to get him, Mr. "I only sing in the shower," to sing on an actual recording.
