Former Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick shot outside club

LOS ANGELES (KISS Fans Website) - Guitarist Bruce Kulick, a former member of the glam rock band KISS, was shot in the leg when a man opened fire outside a nightclub early Thursday, police said. He is recovering from a pair of gunshot wounds he received early Thursday morning (October 16) in West Hollywood, California. Kulick and a friend were walking away from the Key Club, where they'd been to see Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil, when gunfire erupted on Sunset Boulevard.

The shooter was at the Rainbow Bar & Grill when he got into a fight, went out to his car to get his nine-millimeter handgun, and began firing wildly, getting off between four and seven shots. Neither Kulick nor the second victim were being targeted.

Kulick joined 'Kiss' in 1984 and left in the mid-1990s. Since then, the Los Angeles native has worked with a band named Union and with Grand Funk Railroad, and released two solo albums.
Kulick has been a member of Grand Funk Railroad for three years. Before that, he was the lead guitarist in Kiss from 1984 until 1995.

Kulick is looking forward to getting back on the road once his doctors give him the green light. Grand Funk's next show is a benefit for the Safe Harbor Animal Rescue And Hospital in Jupiter, Florida, on November 8.
