Former KISS guitarist Bruce Kulick is currently in the studio working on his next solo CD. The following is an excerpt from his ongoing studio blog - Day 34:

"Saturday was an insane day in LA. Fires burning and power outages all over the area. Of course that would be the day I booked a studio and some amazing musicians to do a new tune I wrote about three weeks ago (with no title other than 'Instrumental'). I realized it was really needed for my BK3 disc. It was funny that I hadn't written one before, but I was determined to have great players to support me. Kenny Aronoff has played with EVERYONE in the business on drums, and he even appeared on a few tracks for me on Audiodog, my first solo disc. We talked about some studios to book, as my fave place was not available, and he recommended a place here in the Valley called Steakhouse. I knew the room and I was excited to have a chance to book it as they have a vintage EMI NEVE board that sounds really sweet.

Kenny mentioned Steve Churchyard to engineer who has a long list of credits including members of the BEATLES, so I was like, DONE!! To round out the day Jimmy Haslip was booked on bass guitar. Jimmy has ghost played on the Creatures of the Night KISS disc, and of course he was in the band I had years ago with Michael Bolton called BLACKJACK. He is another Grammy award winning player I have had the pleasure to know. Google these guys and you will see all the work they have done in the biz. So, with fires 25 miles away and a dodgy power supply, the studio thankfully was up and running.

A bigger problem was a call from Kenny, who was coming back from Palm Springs. He was returning from a show with Joe Cocker and his car hit some road debris and he was lucky NOT getting killed. But waiting on tow trucks and all in the desert heat, that wasn't too much fun for him. Sadly he was going to be delayed by 3 or 4 hours, but we set up what we could and got ready for his late arrival. We lost some time, but I love hanging with Jimmy and Jeremy of course gets along great with him as well. Once Kenny arrived, safe and sound but a bit frazzled, we started rehearsing this tune which is best described as a cross between Stevie Ray Vaughn meets Joe Satriani in styles."
