KISS GUITAR HERO RECOVERING FROM SHOOTING

Bruce Kulick is feeling well enough to start work again shortly...

Former KISS guitarist BRUCE KULICK is preparing to get back into action after being shot in LOS ANGELES.

Kulick was the victim of random gunfire in West Hollywood last Thursday (October 16). He was assailed by a man in front of the Rainbow Bar And Grill, near Sunset Boulevard, according to Yahoo. He was leaving a show by former Motley Crue frontman Vince Neil at the Key Club.

The gunman was restrained at the scene, arrested and charged with assault with a deadly weapon, but not before hitting a second person.

After a period resting, Kulick is preparing to fulfil the rest of is commitments for the year, which include an appearance at the Kissapalooza Kiss Expo in Canada on November 1, and shows with his current band, Grand Funk Railroad.

Kulick played lead guitar in Kiss between 1984 and 1995. He left when founder guitarist Ace Frehley rejoined the fold.
