Kulick toured the world on Meat Loaf's "Bat Out of Hell" tour in 1977-78, and was briefly a member of Long Island's Good Rats. He was also in the band Blackjack with Michael Bolton, and also played on several Michael Bolton solo albums. (Bolton later co-wrote the Kiss song "Forever", from Hot in the Shade).
Kulick is best known as lead guitarist for the rock band Kiss from September 1984 to February 1996.He is the brother of guitarist Bob Kulick, who himself played with Kiss as a ghost guitarist, as well as playing with Paul Stanley as a solo artist.
