Guitarist and producer Bob Kulick, best known for his work with KISS and Lou Reed, has died. A cause of death has not yet been revealed. He was 70 years old.
Bob Kulick initially tried out for a then-unknown band called KISS in 1972, but while group members Gene Simmons, Paul Stanley, and Peter Criss were impressed with his playing, they ultimately decided to hire another guitarist who auditioned right after him that day, Ace Frehley. However, in 1977, KISS hired Kulick to secretly record guitar parts for KISS Alive II. Kulick later contributed to the KISS albums Unmasked, Killers, and Creatures of the Night, as well as Paul Stanley's 1978 solo album.
