BRUCE KULICK's New Album To Feature TOTO's STEVE LUKATHER

January 14, 2009

TOTO's Steve Lukather is scheduled to make a guest appearance on the new solo album from former KISS and current GRAND FUNK RAILROAD guitarist Bruce Kulick, tentatively titled "BK3".

In a posting on his official web site, Kulick writes, "What an amazing day in the studio! I asked Steve Lukather from TOTO (anyone who knows guitarists knows he is a guitar legend) to do some dueling guitars for my instrumental that I told you all about back in October. He is simply hard to watch cause his fingers fly and the tone and ability that he has on the guitar is a wonderful to experience right in front of your own eyes. The song is in Eb tuning and his signature model guitar was in concert tuning so he told me he could play one of mine.

"Any fan of mine, or Luke (his nickname in the biz),would agree that this track not only rocks, it moves you without anyone singing. Having that strong rhythm section of Kenny Aronoff and Jimmy Haslip on drums and bass, didn't hurt of course. The next day I did some edit ideas for the song, and we cleaned up the tracks and finalized the edits and guitar parts. Ready to be mixed!

"I want to thank Luke for playing as he knows best, amazingly, and Jeremy [Rubolino; producer/engineer] for working hard on the parts to make it NOT seem like just a 'guitar players, look at me, look at me' song, but a musical statement from both of us. Can't wait for you all to hear this one and the others.

"Some of the songs are already mixed although it is still hard to state positively when I can package and release my CD. But I am very proud and want the music to be the best it can be."

Other guests scheduled to appear on Kulick's new album include John Corabi (MÖTLEY CRÜE, UNION, RATT, ESP),Gene Simmons (KISS),Nick Simmons (Gene's son) and Tobias Sammet (EDGUY, AVANTASIA).
