History was made last week in the world of KISS, arguably the biggest rock band in the world, when brothers Bob and Bruce Kulick joined the KISS Kruise for the first time in the seven years the getaway has taken place.
“Our appearance on KISS Kruise 7 the first night on the Main Deck (“Sail Away “ Stage) was one of our most exciting and memorable gigs in my life,” says Bob. “And I know my brother feels the same way about it.”
Just hours after the performance, the internet lit up when Kruise passengers began posting and sharing live video of the Kulick Brothers’ show, which overwhelmingly was regarded as the strongest of the week (see some video posted, below).
The band (also comprised of vocalist / bassist Todd Kerns and drummer Brent Fitz) had one rehearsal and one chance to put a set list together for the show. “It was a very personal walk down memory lane,” Bob states. “Especially with these songs, since we played on the original recorded versions of every one of them.”
“It was, of course, also a treat to play with Brent Fitz, who was our anchor for the show as well as bassist and vocalist Todd Kerns, who happens to be the singer on my single, Rich Man, which just went to radio this week.”

After seeing that performance, damn I wish I was on that kruise! I hope the Kulick Brothers do more shows together.
I am just glad I wasn’t there and somehow at the same time I was 25 years younger because I would’ve been drunk and yelling about Ace and just ripping into Bob…..
94 bottles of beer on the wall… Ah f–k it, “It’s Five O’Clock Somewhere!” 😉 Cheers!
Shannon, if I have to check into AA rehab I’m sending you the bill! 😉 LOL!
Just had an idea, next KISS Kruise invite Ace & Peter, it would be interesting to see who jumps overboard first! LOL!!!
Doug R., if you noticed, in response to what you said about rappers, I had to chug 4 freaking beers in a row…and we’re talkin’ the 16 oz, …
I think it’s great the Kulick boys were able to be a part of the KI$$ Krui$e. Sorta a reunion of bygone players on KI$$ albums. Perhaps next year Gene and Paul can invite both Vinny Vincent (If he can be located) and Anton Fig to be part of the Krui$e. And, eventually, reunite for one last time with the real Spaceman and Catman before ending a successful career as one of the world’s greatest bands.
I saw some other clips and so awesome to see and hear songs rarely, if ever, performed. BTW, Todd Kerns on vocals, fantastic!!
Great to see the Kulick brothers rockin’ out on these KISS songs! “All American Man” and “Larger Than Life” are both great tunes off of ALIVE II that I’ve never heard live. I will say it again, Bruce was my favorite lead guitarist that KISS had after Ace was kicked out of the band. He is a very talented musician, if anyone has checked out his solo stuff. He knew his role within KISS, and did an excellent job in helping Gene and Paul update their sound for the 80’s. Bob is also super talented, and played on Paul’s solo album as well as on some KISS records.
