Kulick is featured in a new interview with Mick Burgess at Metal Express Radio discussing Kulick's new solo album, BK3. An excerpt is available below.

Q: Were you not tempted to get Gene (Simmons) and Eric to play with you on one song like in the old days?

Kulick: "Yes, what was ironic about that, was that the original song that Tobias (Sammet / EDGUY) sang on had the working title of 'Gene Rocker' and we thought Eric could play drums and we’d get Gene into it. He liked but he wanted to take it in a whole different direction and for me I’d already cut the drums, the bass and guitars and I had the vision as to what the song should be and I just didn’t like where Gene was going with it so we decided to write something brand new. Eric was so funny about it, he was like 'What d`yer mean, Gene’s not singing that one?!!' He didn’t know the creative process that I was working on and Gene was trying to turn it into something completely different. I think he’s pretty damned happy that Tobias is singing on that song."

Q: Did you think about asking Paul Stanley to take part too and have a Revenge reunion?

Kulick: "I didn’t want to make it a complete KISS-fest but to be honest it’s very ironic that you mentioned his name. You said earlier that you liked the solo on 'Hand Of The King'. Well, that was played on a Paul Stanley Ibanez PS10 from 1979 so that’s something of a tribute to Paul on that. It’s a vintage model and when I told Paul about it he was really flattered as he thinks those guitars are great. When we were picking the guitar to play on that we were looking for the one with the best sound and all the arrows were pointing to that Ibanez. So in a very oblique way Paul is there."
