Former KISS/present GRAND FUNK RAILROAD guitarist BRUCE KULICK has issued the following update:
"Had a great time in Cleveland, Ohio this past weekend. First up was a quick visit to the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame. I have to admit, of course, I have some strong feelings about KISS being left out, and even Grand Funk, but I was there to see what is a truly amazing collection of items from some artists that have helped shaped my musical career. Some of THE BEATLES and HENDRIX and WHO items were great to see up close, and since I was always a big fan of THE ALLMAN BROTHERS that was a treat to see some of the iconic guitars they played back in the day. Photos are not allowed in the museum, but as you see I did get some in the lobby.That same evening was the big Majic 105.7 FM Moondog Coronation Ball, which actually started many years ago with Alan Freed, who was of course one of the earliest radio pioneers back when rock was very young. The show was held at the 'Q', is a wonderful arena in downtown Cleveland, and the place was packed. We were on a bill with various classic rock bands, with Grand Funk headlining. It was great to do an arena show, and I have to say we really blew the roof off. (I did hear the PA could of been louder, but I am sure my guitar filled that place!)
The next day was the KISS Expo, and all of you know how much fun they can be. So many families are fans are KISS, it was so cool to see so many young children come out to support KISS. After all, that is was keeps KISS so iconic, the constant influx of younger generations discovering the band. I had my BK3 CD available and I was very happy to sell many, but also saw many fans who brought their copy that they had purchased the first week. I would like to thank Kiss Army Warehouse for another successful event, and of course all the fans who attended.
More news coming about future BK events, and everyone please have a safe and awesome Easter weekend."
