December 27 : Bruce
Kulick to guest on new AVANTASIA album
From:
tobiassammet.com
He has played for Meat Loaf during the Bat Out Of Hell tour, he has been responsible for the lead guitars on Kiss-classics such as 'Crazy, Crazy Nights' and 'God Gave Rock'n'Roll To You'. And now he will upgrade the value of Tobias Sammet's new Avantasia epic with his remarkable lead guitar sound: legendary Kiss axeman Bruce
Kulick!
Tobias says about the collaboration: "I've met Bruce in 2008 in Los Angeles. Kiss drummer Eric Singer (who has played drums for Tobias' Avantasia project as well) had played him our Avantasia album
"The
Scarecrow" and Bruce must have liked my voice as far as I know. So eventually he asked me to sing a song on his solo album
"BK3" which is gonna come out in February 2010. I liked the idea, I liked the track, I liked Bruce and so of course I did it. Bruce has always been one of my
favorite guitar players, he is one of the classic 80s shredders who got a unique tone and a terrific feeling. His playing is very tasteful. Now, I was looking for an additional lead guitar player for Avantasia to add a new color to some songs and it stood to reason to ask someone who had just become a member of my extended family, so I went for him, and I am happy he liked the idea and immediately agreed. Bruce is a super cool guy, he sacrificed Christmas Eve to start the recording sessions for me in Los Angeles. That says a lot about his work ethic. He is a real pro and a class act!"
On April 3rd "The Wicked Symphony" and "Angel Of Babylon" will be released as a double CD in a deluxe box set.
This sequel of Avantasia's 2008 chart breaker album "The Scarecrow" will feature guest stars
Eric
Singer (KISS), Klaus Meine (Scorpions), Ripper Owens (ex-Judas Priest), Michael Kiske
(ex-Helloween), Jorn Lande (Masterplan), Russell Allen (Symphony X), Bob Catley (Magnum), Jens Johansson
(Stratovarius), Alex Holzwarth (Rhapsody), Felix Bohnke (Edguy), producer Sascha Paeth (ex-Heavens Gate) and Ralf Zdiarstek
(Amitaf).

BehindThePlayer.com
IMV, a Los Angeles-based producer of interactive music content and video game systems, has set a January 19, 2010 release date for original KISS guitarist Ace Frehley's "Behind the Player"
DVD.
In his IMV "Behind the Player" DVD, Frehley gives an intimate behind-the scenes look at his life as a professional musician, including rare video footage. Frehley then gives in-depth lessons for how to play "Shock Me" and "Cold Gin" and jams the tracks with special guest musicians, including Matt Sorum (GUNS N' ROSES, VELVET REVOLVER), John 5 (ROB ZOMBIE, MARILYN MANSON), Chris Wyse (THE CULT), Tommy Clufetos (TED NUGENT, ALICE COOPER, ROB ZOMBIE) and George Lynch

From:

Bruce Kulick is two months away from releasing his third solo album,

beaming with pride for the album, he is also grounded, candid and
genuinely excited to talk about the actual music, creative process
and guitar technicalities. Kulick expresses a sense of
satisfaction with what he has accomplished over his career, but
there is also the sense that he was never content with resting on
the laurels of his past musical shadow. KissFAQ caught up with him
to talk about how he is looking forward to sharing his own brand
of “Revenge.”

From:
Frontiers
Records
Frontiers Records will release their reissue of KEEL's "The
Right To Rock: 25th Anniversary Edition" on January 29, 2010.
In 1985 Keel exploded onto the scene when “The
Right To Rock,” their major label debut produced by Gene
Simmons of Kiss, became the fastest-selling debut album in A&M
Records' history.
Frontiers Records will commemorate the 25th anniversary of this
historic release with The Right To Rock: 25th Anniversary Edition
simultaneously with Keel's latest effort "Streets Of Rock
& Roll". This newly remastered edition adds two bonus
tracks: “Easier Said than Done (Remix)” and a newly recorded
version of the immortal Metal anthem “The Right to Rock”. For
this recording, Keel invited their fans to participate via the
internet – Keel-aholics could download a guide track, sing along
with the chorus, and send in an MP3 to be blended with the
all-star chorus of the song which also features Paul Shortino
(Rough Cutt, Quiet Riot), Lez Warner (The Cult), Ron Mancuso
(Beggars & Thieves) and other members of the Las Vegas rock
scene (even Graham Russell from Air Supply joined in)!
