In a recent interview with AMFM Magazine, former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick shared that he plans to begin working on his autobiography in 2025. Kulick explained that he gathered a lot of materials from his time with KISS, but revealed that it wouldn’t be a ‘salacious slam book.’
“It’s certainly gonna be a really in-depth discussion of my life as a musician with, of course, hefty amounts on my KISS years, ’cause I know that the fans are gonna wanna get my thoughts on how it felt and what I did,” he explained. “It’s certainly not gonna be some salacious slam book. It’s not me. But I do have a lot of stories that I never really discussed that I think are gonna be really fun for people to read about and fascinating for them to see.”
Kulick also reflected on his career. “Everything was, in many ways, a very interesting journey, and there were many [instances] of where you fall in the ditch, but you’ve gotta pull yourself out — that kind of thing.”
In another interview from May of last year, Kulick also touched on what fans can expect from the autobiography. He explained that the book would not only cover his KISS years but also tell the story of how he became a star. “The book’s going to be in my tone, my memories, my experience, not only the KISS years. It’s got to be how did I become a star. My brother, rest in peace, very popular musician, very successful musician. There’s a story about my parents and my personal struggles. I do plan on sharing some things about how I became successful and some of the trials and tribulations of what that is.”
KISS members have often talked about the band and their relationships with the rest of the members. In his 2014 memoir ‘Face The Music: A Life Exposed,’ Paul Stanley talked about his relationship with Gene Simmons, saying it had improved over time. However, Stanley also wrote that Simmons built an external persona, claiming that Gene ‘committed himself to creating an external façade’ and knocked down anyone who challenged him.
He also dismissed the idea that Simmons was a business genius, saying Gene’s “most successful venture in business was promoting the perception that he was a savvy businessman.”
In other news, Bruce Kulick confirmed in recent interviews that he was not invited to KISS’s final show in December 2023 at Madison Square Garden in New York.
