Day 10 in the studio....

Oh crap! Bruce is coming in. Bruce Kulick! How cool is that we got Bruce Kulick to play on “Do it for you”, and “Abuse Me”. Ok, so Bruce walks in, we make the introductions and are beside ourselves that we are going to be working with him today. As if all this wasn’t enough, he then whips out the guitar, a 1953 Les Paul, that his brother had used on the studio side of Kiss Alive 2 on for such songs as “Rocking in the USA”, and “Larger than Life”. It was also used on some songs for Paul Stanley’s 1978 Solo album. He plugs it in and immediately begins crafting a solo for “Do it for you”. When the dust settled and all was said and done, the result was amazing. It was so eerie to hear that tone from that guitar that was featured on so any of those classic Kiss tunes, now being played on our track. We got some pictures of it and some great video as well. God, it came out so amazing! Because of its heavy message, this is the tune that we intend to use to promote heavy awareness to our We Are One non-profit venture. Thank god he had no problem doing this track justice.

The next track was called “Abuse Me”. It is a weird song. Its very Kiss like up front but then evetuentaully settles in to a Beatles type bridge section, only to go right back in a Kiss type arrangement for the chorus. It is a delicate beast. The song is about my love affair with drugs, so it takes you through a wide array of emotions. We had to set it up this way so be able to communicate the message of the dangers of drugs. I have to say, thank god we chose Bruce to play on this track as well. He nailed it, note for note and thought of a few things that never even crossed our minds. That is the difference between a pro and someone who just plays for fun. From his years of playing, Bruce just has this vast array of tools that he is able to pick and chose from and is able to use these tools and ideas to best compliment a song like this.

He was gracious enough to let us take some video and pictures of him, and we will be posting these on my site as well as the We Are One website (www.weareoneonline.com) as well. What a great an successful day! Bruce we will see you again very soon, thank you for making these tracks extra special!
