Bob Kulick R.I.P. Interview- Explains why he was upset at Bruce Kulick, Kiss' Gene & Paul 

What a tool this guy was. Makes Gene look humble

I listened to this after Graham Bonnet alleged that he wasn't himself before he died. He seems to be completely insane.

I'll tell you what he isn't eating out of that clanking bowl is a big piece of humble pie.

You can feel the bitterness. Bob is no longer with us and it's sad, but he was way out of line by saying this stuff. If he hadn't passed, he would have only lived to regret what he said in these interviews..

What a jerk! I'm a guitarist and his stuff on Paul's solo album and kiss alive 2, while tasty and I did like it, are not that difficult to play. For him to say those other guys couldn't come close, he's delusional.

And don't ever forget...Bob was a Grammy winning producer!! 😏

Bob is great, just ask him.

My hats off to Jimmy Kay for enduring Bob's bizzare behavior

One of the things I admire about Bob is how humble he is.

People still saying negative things about the man. Well let me be the first to say - *Rest in Peace Bob Kulick*

This is sad. I met Bob on an elevator at a Kiss convention about 10 years ago. He was so gracious and polite…answered every question I asked him (that he had probably answered a million times)….he seemed so down to earth! This is just bizarre!

WOW- just finished listening- SPEECHLESS

I never heard of Bob Kulick until KISS, not "Diana Ross, Lemmy", or any of the other name drops. New drinking game suggestion. Every time Bob mentions "Grammy winning" you have to take a drink. We'd all be as wasted as he is in 10 mins. Man, sour grapes. I was a fan of his, until this interview!!!!!!

This guys ego makes Gene look humble!

This video should be titled “A small eternity with Bob Kulick”. I imagine he goes on and on like this to the checkout lady at Walmart, to the guy pumping his gas, to the pizza delivery guy... whoever is unlucky enough to get sucked into his vortex!

Total frustration and let downs, life is cruel. I hope you found peace Bob.

BOB THE GRAMMY AWARD WINNING PRODUCER....

He wrote the song for SpongeBob SquarePants, that obviously makes the man a musical genius.

Please interview Bruce now, this guy’s just nuts

I heard he was a grammy award winning producer

This is very interesting to hear. The interviewer asked all of the right questions. However, sometimes a session player is just a session player. Bob had a chance to parlay his KISS experience to write for many other artists and get his credit and money elsewhere. Basically, he had a KISS internship that lead to many other more lucrative opportunities including his Grammy work that he brings up 100 times. In a perfect world, Gene and Paul would calculate the financial impact of all of their contributors and pay them the fair market price. However, in the end, who created the product KISS from the ground up with relentless touring, band concept, etc. from 74-77 that made it a viable product in the first place? It's hard to say what the fair market price would be for contributions to an already established product.

Is he a Grammy Award-winning producer?

You’re a star Bruce! Act Like it! -Bob Kulick R.I.P Bob Kulick

Thanks Bob for your contribution to Kiss.

There's just one question that i still don't have the answer to -- is Bob Kulick a grammy award-winning producer?

Bruce is nothing like him

i heard the set on the Kiss Cruise he was talking about, & as a life long Kiss fan, Bob is right! They absolutely killed with Kearns & Fitz! I even remember leaving a comment on those videos saying they should tour with that lineup. I honestly thought they were WAAAAAAYYYYYY better than Kiss has been for a very long time. Sad that i won't get to see them live with that group, Bobs right, it was special.

"I'm over it". Could've fooled me. DON'T EAT WHILE RECORDING. I can understand how he'd be disappointed and hurt though.

This is wild, and It's a shame. In everything I've read or heard from KISS that involved Bob, they've praised constantly. I'm obviously not privy to the stuff behind closed doors, but as far as respect goes publicly they've always beamed about Bob and his contributions. I hope Bruce and Bob mended their fences and gotten some closure before his passing. Damn shame.

He's completely lost it.

Wow after watching the memorial his brother did for him, this guy did not deserve it. Bruce is a classy guy.

Not quite sure if he said it or not, couldn't hear between the chewing and the gigantic ego, is he a 'grammy award producer'?? Holy shit, this guy is freaking insane!

You should never eat during an interview. God, it's so annoying. Totally unprofessional!

No wonder Bruce seems so sad about his loss, they weren't on speaking terms, never thought Bob was this messed up, may he RiP

Being so desrespectful to Ace in any given opportunity, is ridiculous in all parts involved!!

His work on Paul Stanley's solo album is how I'd like to play guitar. "Ain't Quite Right" is a perfect example!

He ain’t lying when he said they moped the floor with Kiss on the cruise.

Sounds like years of frustration all coming out at once.

Motorhead sold 15 million albums, KISS had sold 100 million, why keep throwing around Motorhead name? Lemmy is mostly an icon because of his lifestyle and attitude, not because of his playing. He's a legend and im im sure he wouldn't want this guy dropping his name in every sentence

Good God .... just ... wow. I had no idea he was this delusional. Bruce must be adopted. He's such a humble and talented guy. He's 180 degrees out from his crazy brother. So much vitriol for the guys who did so much for him personally and professionally.

Bob Kulick is eccentric artist, who is transparent and will tell you exactly what took place in KISS history. Bob having [tacit] knowledge about how things operate from behind the scenes. Bob opens the door to what the public should have never known. Bob is honest and knows talent in real time.

Dude is bonkers, let’s face it.

If Gene and Paul don't respect founding members Peter and Ace why on earth would Bob expect any respect for what they considered a session player? Even with the "magic". 38:14 - 39:12 pure gold.

He sure is his biggest fan!

He's a Grammy Award winning Producer if you didn't know!!

Is he eating a 7 course meal?!?

For Bob it's NOT about the money ... It's about the money !!!

I remember listening to this when it was new and thinking how Bob really had this pent up anger and frustration and he just seemed to become unhinged as the interview went on. Listening back on this a year later after his death, I’m kinda thinking this is sort of a cry for help. He probably had some depression from all this stuff from over the years. Hope he’s at peace now.

Bobs memory is faulty at best saying '81 and '82 for the Paul solo album.

Dude has lost his mind. Wow. I honestly did not expect to hear....THIS from this interview. He gives very little credit to anyone else and seems to think he's god's gift to everything and everyone. Honestly all you need to hear to confirm the insanity percolating in his head is when asked who his favorite two KISS guitarists are....Steve Farris and himself? Nuts.

The fact is nothing he played on were standout songs. They were B side songs that nobody other than hardcore kiss fans even listened to

Wow! This sounds like Vinnie Vincent talking!

He better have a good kayak. All his bridges are burned to the ground.

Why the HELL is this guy EATING during the interview?

I commented before but after listening to the second half of the interview again, I wanted to give Jimmy his due. I thought your effort was spectacular and subscribed to the channel as a result. Initially, I heard Mitch Lafon's interview with Bob and it was ok. Then I heard talk of the Metal Voice from a different RU-vid channel. So I had to check this out. I have all the respect in the world for you Jimmy, keeping Bob dialed into your direction. It was a phenomenal show and we learned more than we ever knew before because of it. And yeah, yeah, it must of been annoying, as well as humorous, of Bob chomping away and telling you about his creds. But it was soooooo much more than that to me. This interview was refreshing yet jaw dropping. I enjoyed his direct answers. Much like you hear from Peter, and Ace. There's not that rehearsed response like "gymnasium" that's a big word. He was just bitter, and matter-of -fact. I haven't seen it commented on but I caught at 39:13 Bob talking about the EOTR shows and posing the question of what we are really hearing. Bob was basically an audio book. It was that informative. It was funny when he was asked if it was therapeutic for him! The only thing, I thought he was somewhat delusional was having the session musicians perform live at the final show or shows. That would only dilute the importance of Peter and Ace. Especially, if they are only given the final show to perform. Lastly, being the "Producer", the tag he continually pounded in our brains, he should Produce a "Book". Much like the 4 original members wrote. Perhaps you, Jimmy, should suggest that to Bob. I think he would sell a lot of copies. Thanks again for great interview!

crazy against Paul, who seemed like he wanted to help him. He's insane

He solidified his legacy in the sabotage he has done to himself. THIS is what he will now be remembered by. Untreated projected childhood trauma is now his legendary expertise.

Even in death, Bob Kulick is exhausting

wow this guy is soo full of himself, my stomach churns. Now I know why his brother set that restraining order against him, though

Man - I respect what Bob has done over the years and I won't speak ill of the dead, but this interview did not paint him in a good light.

"I did the music from Spongebob Squarepants...I deserve respect!!!"

Bob Kulik is " Larger than Life " as far as ego goes .

“Im a grammy award winning producer,,,,,, SEXUAL CHOCOLATE (stomping his feet)”. I can see Eddie Murphy doing that scene from Comin to America as Bob. Hahahahaha

Oh man! Great player but NEEded to stay in the background and keep quiet!I KISS were brilliant for choosing Ace.

I really enjoyed this interview and always liked the Kulick Brothers contributions to Kiss.

Who knows what was going on here, Bob was always modest before this interview. Maybe he lost his marbles & wasn’t well mentally before his passing, who knows 🤷‍♂️

I don't remember Hal Blaine reminding people 24 / 7 that he was the drummer for The Beach Boys .

thank you for the music bud!!

I love Bob's guitar playing, but wow! He's crazy 🤪

Nobody: All I want for the final tour is having bob kulick play the solo of larger than life 🤣

The beef with Gene and Paul and Doc I understand, Not a huge deal and this shit happens all the time. The part that sucks is two brothers being ripped apart by such things. Seems like a huge fuss being made about nothing really.

Wow! So many people have been much more successful than Bob but would never preach about how great they are with such zeal. Crazy

Ace was the Perfect Choice, BUT they read Bob from the very start. Bob was Their Equal(maybe even above)& they knew He wouldn't have taken shit from them. Just imagine Bob in the band with an equal share & Bill/Sean. Gen/Paul would've tried to sabotage Him & eventually force Him out. He would've been miserable & dying musically due to lack of creative freedom. If Bob was in Kiss, the story would've still gone the same way & they would've still had to do solo albums.

poor man he was in pain . RIP

21:18 "His talent, was like mine!"

So jealous of Kiss and Ace, and Bruce

15:53 Brent Fitz was in Bruce’s band Union twenty-two years ago.

Listen to Bob talk about his Alive 2 sessions, he sounded very bitter then.

Great job interviewing him.

Very sad, I hope you're at peace now, Bob.

Wow wow wow One of his final interviews

This interview never gets old!

I hope Lemmy didn't have to listen to this shit before he died.smh

Repeat it til you believe it. Bruce went from kiss to union to esp to gfr. I only heard of bob because of the 78 solo album

He couldn't even give Bruce credit as "best KISS guitarist", even though he's amazing. Steve Farris played an AWESOME solo on Creatures but seriously. He's either delusional, lying or both.

Jimmy-- You're awesome!! Love your stuff and you're not annoying like Eddie Trunk!

So sad that he died while fighting with his brother. Heartbreaking. I met Bob several times. He was a great guy. I believe he was still married to Stella Stevens. Is that correct? She was 10 years older than Bob, I feel so bad for her.

Can anyone find these record reviews of Paul Stanley's 1978 solo record that Bob is speaking of? These reviews that comment favorably on the lead guitarist- If they exist then which publications, please.?

How has kiss compared to that? A wrestling intro? I think they compare pretty good actually lol. Nothing this bum ever did with kiss was a hit or even fan favorites. Or with anybody else for that matter. He wrote a song for SpongeBob and for a wrestler. Big fuckin deal

I love Bobs guitar work on Paul’s solo album and other KISS songs but I’ve seen this behavior from people. They are in a bad spot careerwise or financial etc and lash out at those they thought should have helped more then they did. I hear him but you have to move on from those issues or frustration if true or not or it will eat you alive and manifest in disease. which it ultimately did. And the “no respect” part is ironic as he smacks on the food he’s eating during an interview. Couldn’t wait till the interview was over? RIP Bob and I hope you found the true peace we all desire. Thanks for the music.

When the interviewer calls at dinnertime.

Bob, was such a fantastic guitar player, I saw him live with Tim curry in the late 1970s. He put so much emotion in his playing!

Bitter? I would be bitter to. The eating during the interview? Yeeeeaaah, kinda rude. As a KISS fan I can say this with all the confidence in the world Paul and Gene have been talking shit abut everyone that worked for them. Hell, Ace and Peter have been thrown under the bus NUMEROUS times by them both and Paul shits on Eric Carr in his book! Now Bruce... I am very surprised! Thinking now when Vinnie sued them numerous times, maybe those lawsuits weren't as frivolous and without merit as KISS fans were led to believe by GENE and PAUL.

I only have one question... Is he a Grammy award winning producer?

In all fairness, when he's talking about Ace's sloppy playing and Jimmy Page's sloppy playing, I really don't think he was deliberately being offensive. I have heard Paul & Gene mention the "sloppy" thing many times too but in a positive way , like "That's the Kiss sound right there , he's the guy for us".

That’s great advice ...don’t waste time chasing dishonerable people. Thanks for a great conversation.

Just trying to figure out who's ego is bigger, Gene or Bob's.

The interview with Mitch Lafon was uncomfortable. This was more so. Good job with the interview Jimmy Kay.

In answer to a lot of comments here: there are lots of legendary session musicians who are way more talented than the 'Rock Stars' that they play with. And a lot of Session Musicians do go on to Stardom themselves, That said, there is a lot of bitterness in this interview - BUT, it does confirm the other interviews that I've read/heard about the 'Control Freak' antics of of Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons. I've read all the autobiographies of the original KISS members and Ace and Peter come off as irresponsible and self-destructive, while Gene is totally oblivious and an egomaniac, and Paul is honest but VERY insecure and critical towards the other members of KISS.

Just ask Bob how amazing he is
