Kiss is often considered the quintessential rock band, so it is no wonder that their lead guitarist has his own instructional video. Bruce Kulick replaced Ace Frehley in 1984 and stuck with the band till 1995. As if that wasn't enough reason for Hot Licks Video to sign him up to teach the millions of guitar wannabes the art of rock, then his stint as lead guitarist for Meat Loaf and work with the band BlackJack (which featured the vocal stylings of Michael Bolton), should have caused Arlen Roth to beat down his door and beg for him to explain to the masses such guitar techniques as advanced harmonics, octave licks, and whammy bar stylings. And if these guitar secrets are not enough, Kulick also teaches classic Kiss songs such as "King of the Mountain", "Uh! All Night", and "Tears Are Falling." Bruce Kulick of Kiss: Rock Master Class is a top notch tutorial for all those wishing to rock the house with monster riffs, but it is advised that the pupil have some basic guitar knowledge before climbing this mountain of rock.
@Tricksterize good point, even though Mark didn't perform a lot with KISS due to his illness and Vinnie was fired cuz he was such a douche, they both had amazing talent. it was wrong of me to forget about them both

Vinnie Vincent was a moody prick that just did'nt get along with anyone and Mark St John had, a hand problem called Reiders Syndrome that made his hands swell up.Bruce was the natural choice as his brother Bob Kulick had previously done some guitar work for KISS in the 70's on Alive II and on Paul Stanleys 1978 solo album.

The Beatles, Creme, Yes, are all Bruce's Influences. He started playing tapping runs in the 80's to keep up with current trends. He's definatly kicked KISS into the 80's with his technical soloing. Other Ace Frehley replacements of the 80's Vinnie Vincent, Mark St John where just as technical but did'nt get on for their own reasons.

Bruce is a great guitarist, no doubt about it. He made Kiss complete and ready for the 80's.
