Bruce Kulick NY Meet & Greet And Live Show!


During our stay in New York for the Peter Criss Meet & Greet and Landmark Tour Experience, we also went to the NY KISS Expo!
There we had our Meet & Greet with Bruce Kulick aswell his wife Lisa! Bruce was one of the special guests and as soon as he saw us he said: here are my friends from The Netherlands. He remembered that we also have meet him at the Los Angeles KISS Expo in januari and he & Lisa found it really great that we were now in NY. We let them signed a promo photo of them together and talked about several things, like the NY traffic, the Pennsylvania hotel and his first live performance with Lisa later that day. We looked forward to it. Then it was time for our photo and it turned out great! Bruce also mentioned that he will be on the KISS Kruise VII and this was great news to us, we were waiting for years for Bruce on the Kruise!

Around 6:30 PM it was time for the first live perfromance of Bruce & Lisa ever! We've made sure that we had a seat front row so that we wouldn't miss a thing. Before they began Bruce explained to the fans how this collaboration with Lisa came together. He talked about the christmas song they did performed in their living room for the fans last year. The responce on this song was great and so the idea was born that they maybe should do some recordings together. So they recorded If I Could Show You earlier this year, what resulted to this performance today.
Here's our video of the song: If I Could Show You, enjoy...

Also they played some KISS songs and it was great to hear Lisa sang and Bruce playing accoustic guitar, even the solo's and he explains these were sometimes not easy to do. And we thought it was a special moment for us when they played Forever on our 7th wedding anniversary today, because this song was played when we got married!

Other songs that were perfromed were: Reason To Live, Who Wants To Be Lonely, Reason To Live, Crazy Crazy Nights & Every Time I Look At You.
Bruce & Lisa did a great job and they had fun on stage. We had a great time to see them perform and have enjoyed it!
We're looking forward to see Bruce on the KISS Kruise VII soon...
Here is a selection of our photo's, enjoy...

New York KISS Expo!


When we were in New York for the Peter Criss Meet & Greet and Landmark Tour Experience we also attended the KISS Expo!
The expo was located on the ballroom top floor of the Pennsylvania hotel, once arrived we checked out the vendors. As a KISS collector for more than 37 years, it's not easy to find items you don't have, but we managed to find a copple of cool things.
Besides Bruce Kulick as special guest, also Big John Harte, Ken Kelly, Dennis Woloch, Lynn Goldsmith & Robert Conte were some of the guests.

Around 4 PM it was time for the Q&A with Big John, Ken, Dennis, Lynn & Robert and they all had some cool stories to tell. As we knew from the LA KISS Expo, Big John was working on a book (release mid december) and with all the stories he told today we know his book is a must have! Also photograper Lynn Goldsmith is releasing a photo book, called KISS 1977-1980 (release september) and she told a lot about it, we think it will be a awesome book. Robert Conte talked about his work for KISS during the release of the KISS remaster CD's and Dennis Woloch had also great stories to tell and we wanted to hear more from him. Funny fact was that Dennis contacted Ken Kelly to paint the Destroyer album cover and they talked about this during the Q&A.
As a fan it's always great to hear those kind of stories from these guests and we're thankfull we got a chance to meet them.
