‘I know he is at peace now, with my parents, playing his guitar as loud as possible. Please respect the Kulick Family’s privacy during this very sad time.’

He also performed on several KISS records including Unmasked, Alive II, Paul Stanley, and Killers.
Kulick also appeared on Meat Loaf’s 1984 album Bad Attitude and toured with the Dallas, Texas native for years.
