Former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick has issued the following recap of the final night of the Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy Camp 2007, a five day event that took place in Hollywood, CA from February 15th - 19th:

"Speechless is what I am. I am so pleased with the final night at the House of Blues. I know that the campers and counselors were thrilled and amazed with our big finale.

The day started with everyone's final rehearsal, then a lunch break and back to the hotel for getting into the clothing for the big performances at the HOB. I felt confident with my bands last time to run through the KISS and JOURNEY songs. I gave my band as gifts some of my solo CDs and thanked them for their hard work at the camp. We exchanged info so we can keep in touch and that is something the camp is great for, bringing people who love music together.

About 4 PM we had our special dinner and ceremony where each band and counselor got on stage to receive an award for being at the fantasy camp. It was great to have the lovely Lynn Hoffman and Kelly Keagy interview my band and see how elated they were about the experience, each one saying a few words about how the camp changed their lives. Guess they didn't mind me being the drill sergeant I am known to be!

Off the House of Blues, and campers and counselors were very excited. I went in to greet Paul Stanley and go over a few details of the night with him. Paul was very anxious to hear the bands again and what a night this would be!

I had the pleasure to open the show, as my band PSYCHO CIRCUS drew first slot, and of course I was so excited to get the show kicked off. I introduced Paul to the crowd first explaining what a thrill to be on stage with him again. Last time was KISS Unplugged in 1995! We hit the opening notes of 'Shout It Loud' and off we were, with Marti my singer and Paul trading off on the vocals. I was on bass doing my fave Gene bass guitar riffs, and the crowd was electric seeing my camper band with four guitarists, one keyboard player, one drummer, one female singer and one very big rock star on stage with the camper band!!

Paul really enjoyed the vibe, and I thanked him when we hit the big fanfare ending of the tune. Next up was Dickey Bett's and his son Duane to jam along with us on the Journey tune 'Anyway You Want It'. Took a little bit to get them plugged in, but I explained how amazing it was to have 6 guitar players on stage at once on the famous HOB venue.

After a spirited performance it was all over, and the smiles on my bands faces were priceless. The crowd loved it, and we certainly broke the ice for the night in a big way.

I dried off a bit and went out into the crowd while the next band was being announced. Paul was a real trooper singing his heart out with each band. He kept coming out from the side stage entrance to meet campers and fans and took pictures. He signed my guitarist's Jason KISS tattoo.

At one point David Fishof the promoter said to me while we were watching Paul sing 'Love Gun' with Jane Wiedlin's band DESPERTAE HOUSEPLANTS how great Paul was singing. I said of course! Paul's pipes were strong and he was quite busy with 13 KISS classics to jump in on.

With the announcements for best band made by the celebrity judges like Mark Hudson, Eric Singer, and Carmine Appice (Teddy Andreadis's band took the prize, congrats Teddy!), it was time for the final jam with the counselors.

Things ran a bit late as there were auctions for great charities throughout the evening and of course getting the 13 bands on and off the stage which was done superbly by our SIR crew. (Thanks guys!) But we were ready to rock our short set for sure, starting with Spencer Davis doing the classic, 'Gimmie Some Lovin'. I played percussion on that one, as my good stuff was coming. Next we had Artimus Pyle from LYNYRD SKYNYRD to do 'Sweet Home Alabama'. The crowd was going wild! Next up was Jane's hit with the Go-Go's that she wrote called "My Lips Are Sealed". I played bass for that one, but next up was the big QUEEN finale. We had the pleasure at this camp of Spike Edney the musical director of Queen for the last 20 years, as a counselor for this camp (and will be leading the upcoming LONDON Fantasy Camp in May) and he would lead the band with the 'We Will Rock You', and 'We Are The Champions'. Spike invited Patti Russo and Jeff Scott Soto to sing the Queen songs. You may know those names as Jeff is currently singing lead with Journey and Patti has been with Meatloaf for a dozen years on female lead vocals.

I was very serious about getting the Brian May parts for those songs and I must of listened 100 times the week before the camp. I pulled out a groovy old phasor to help out with the vibe on 'We Will Rock You'. Those songs are SO amazing and what a way to end the night. I nailed my parts, which I was so relieved about. The band had a moment of confusion in the anthem but it just shows that we all make mistakes. We all felt like champions with our finale, and just like the way the campers felt being on the stage playing their hearts out, us professionals were like kids, smiling and singing and playing with all of our passion for the stage. Paul Stanley and Eric Singer were in the wings with Carmine and David Fishof and a few lucky campers too, beaming with delight at what we all accomplished Monday night.

As you may know, that high of performing is a tough one to come down from so we all were joking backstage and congratulating each other. Gary Burr and his famous songwriting producer friend Mark Hudson invited me to a late after show dinner at Jerry's so after saying my final goodbyes to my camper band and guest and counselors, I was off to grab a bite and wind down from this amazing evening.

I hope you all get a sense of what these camp experiences are about. They are hard work, and yet totally rewarding. The campers get so much from it, but so does everyone involved in the event. From Steve Vai, Brian Wilson, Paul Stanley (thanks for being such a trooper Paul!) to the wedding proposal I forgot to mention onstage at the HOB evening, the action never stops, and never ceases to make me smile at how music means life, love and one of the most incredible things we have the pleasure to experience in life.

I want to thank everyone who put on the event, David Fishof, Joy Earl, Alan from SIR and their crew, and the counselor helpers like Katie (you made my life much easier!) and Courtney and Deby, and all the crew at SIR, the wonderful people from GIBSON and all the sponsors like Moody Straps, and Marshall Amplification who make the event a reality. I want to thank my band, Steve, Don, Jason, Marti, Denny, Bob and Joe, as we had a great time together. I appreciated them working so hard to make me proud. We all had an amazing experience at the camp. A special thanks to all the counselors, for making this camp a total success. You are all special in my heart as talented musicians and more importantly great people. I look forward to working with you all in anyway possible in the future.

I also look forward to being involved in more of the Fantasy Camps in the future! But at least for a few days, it is time for some REST!"
