The following is an update from Bruce Kulick's website:
"Day 1 of Rock Fantasy Camp is when the counselors get a chance to meet their bands and get to work on songs that will be jammed, possibly for famous guests, and to learn songs for the big last night (Sunday) at the Whiskey on the Sunset Strip.
My band, Vito on guitar (my band captain), Myles on guitar, Angela on bass, Jeff on drums, and Angus and Patrick rounding out the group on vocals and percussion, were excited to meet Ace Frehley the special guest of the day. So, obviously it was time to learn a KISS song and Vito suggested 'Cold Gin'.
We started to learn the sections, and as I always say, KISS songs are NOT as easy as some people think. My band ranges from having musical band experience to NEVER playing their instrument with any other players. (Angela, our bassist, only picked up the bass a month ago! But she is determined!!) So I have a challenge to get a common ground and make them sound cohesive and enjoyable. I was VERY pleased by the time Ace jammed with them. Ace signed CD's and posed for pix with everyone.
Just before Ace's jam in my room I was asked by David Fishof to interview the Space Man. He seemed in good spirits, and we chatted briefly before the Q&A about his new Anomaly CD. I told him about the songs I loved and he seemed quite proud of his CD. Ace was full of great stories, and of course the fans had some great questions for him to answer. It lasted about a half hour, and in some ways was very surreal for me. When we discussed the MTV Unplugged performance Ace said to me, "That was you? Sorry I made you lose your job!" It was hilarious!
My band (unnamed yet) spent the rest of the afternoon working on some songs for the final night. We looked at some originals to record at Capitol Records on Saturday, and kicked around a few DOORS songs as the guitarist Robbie Krieger will be performing with the bands. Again, my challenge is getting the right songs for them to perform.
There were some stop-in guests, GUNS N' ROSES drummer Steven Adler and ENUFF Z'NUFF's Chip Znuff, both of them looking great. The evening ended with Master Classes and jamming in the rehearsal rooms. Everyone was happy but exhausted at the end of Day 1, but I know the excitement of getting the songs to come together is what drives their enthusiasm."
BK3 will be released February 16th on Twenty 4 Records /Rocket Science Ventures.
