Guitarist and producer Bob Kulick, best known for his work with KISS and Lou Reed, has died. A cause of death has not yet been revealed. He was 70 years old.
Bob Kulick initially tried out for a then-unknown band called KISS in 1972, but while group members Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Peter Criss were impressed with his playing, they ultimately decided to hire another guitarist who auditioned right after him that day, Ace Frehley. However, in 1977, KISS hired Kulick to secretly record guitar parts for KISS Alive II. Kulick later contributed to the KISS albums Unmasked, Killers, and Creatures of the Night, as well as Paul Stanley's 1978 solo album.
In a 2018 interview with Ultimate Classic Rock, Kulick said he had no problem keeping his KISS involvement under wraps at the time, explaining, "In this circumstance, being friends with Gene and Paul, it was important to me that when they said, ‘This has to be between us and us only,' that I’m going to keep my word.”
Bob Kulick was born Jan. 16, in Brooklyn, N.Y., and began performing professionally at age 16 in the Greenwich Village circuit. His many credits as respected studio musician and producer, aside from KISS, included playing lead guitar on Lou Reed's Coney Island Baby and touring and/or recording with Motorhead, Roger Daltrey, Alice Cooper, W.A.S.P., Meat Loaf, Michael Bolton, and Diana Ross.
