Kulick: “The Asylum record was monumental. I’m one of the faces on the cover of a KISS album, even though I look like a pop-art ghost (laughs). This is such an iconic cover; it’s really interesting. What a great record. I hasd four co-writes (credits), my guitar playing was something to be proud of, although some of it is really hard that I can’t really do now. Some great songs like ‘Tears Are Falling’, ‘Uh All Night’, ‘King Of The Mountain’. It’s still important to many, many KISS fans.”
