| KISS Nashville Concert video from 1985 As Kiss enterd 1975, they so with yet another new lead guitarist. Mark St. John was unable to perform due to suffering from reactive arthritis (also known as Reiter's Syndrome), which caused swelling in his hands and arms. As a result, Mark bowed out (sadly, Mark St. John passed away on April 5, 2007, succumbing to a cerebral hemorrhage at age 51), giving way to Bruce Kulick, a talented and gifted guitar player who had performed in the past with the likes of Meatloaf, and had been a member of bands such as BlackJack and Good Rats. Bruce joined Gene, Paul, and Eric during the Animalize tour, and had also played a small role during the Animalize recording sessions. Now officially a member of the Hottest Band In the World, Bruce handled lead guitar duties on the band's 1985 joint, Asylum. The ensuing tour proved to be one of the most colorful in all of the band's history, and here we have uncovered some incredibly rare promotional footage from this tour - a tour not known to be professionally filmed! This video was shot on November 30, 1985 at the Municipal Auditorium in Nashville, TN (synced with audio from their 12/28/85 Charlotte performance), and has never been available anywhere! |
