Not long after Wasted Youth, Kushner joined up with members of [[Suicidal Tendencies]] for their side-project [[Infectious Grooves]]. Kushner played on the first of their four albums ''[[The Plague That Makes Your Booty Move...It's the Infectious Grooves]]'' (1991).

A year later in 1992, Kushner moved on to Electric Love Hogs, which released just one album on the [[London Records]] [[record label|label]]. They toured with [[L.A. Guns]] in the [[United States|U.S.]], and [[Ugly Kid Joe]] in the [[United Kingdom|UK]]. After three quiet years, Kushner returned to [[Cyco Miko]] Muir on the album ''[[Lost My Brain! (Once Again)]]''. He also played in [[Danzig (band)|Danzig]] for nine months, but only did one [[concert|show]] with them at the [[Whisky a Go Go]].

He has also appeared on the Suicidal Tendencies' [[compilation album]] ''[[Friends & Family, Vol. 1]]'', released in December 1997.

In 1998, the [[hard rock]] band Zilch, formed by the [[Japanese people|Japanese]] rock legend [[Hide (musician)|Hide]] after the disbandment of his previous group; [[X Japan]], recorded their debut album, ''3.2.1'' and prepared for a U.S. tour opening for [[Marilyn Manson]]. After the album's initial release in [[Japan]], however, Hide was found dead in his hotel room, and the album's U.S. release was shelved (and eventually dropped). The remaining members of Zilch held a string of tours with a variety of [[United States|American]] [[musician]]s in Japan, as a tribute to the band's late singer. It is here that Kushner met [[Duff McKagan]], who was touring Japan with his band Loaded. They are now long time friends.

In Spring 2002, Kushner joined Loaded, replacing guitarist [[Mike Squires]]. When Loaded took a 'break' in late 2002, [[Duff McKagan|Duff]] started working on a project that would eventually become Velvet Revolver, which Kushner would later be part of. Indeed, Kushner has played [[rhythm guitar]] for Velvet Revolver since December 2002.
