Damn_Smooth Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 All these RIP threads for rock stars and no love for a true american hero like Lee Harvey Oswald, who died on this day in 1963. Shame.Anyway, RIP Eric. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR DOOM Posted November 25, 2014 Share Posted November 25, 2014 Freddy Mercury died on the same day, no?Rest In Peace, Eric Carr. 23 years to the day.That song was written with Ace, then his parts were recorded over for "Carr Jam"...Ace used it for the first Frehley's Comet album. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val22 Posted November 26, 2014 Share Posted November 26, 2014 The drummer from KISS>Eric Carr came from one of my old Brooklyn neighborhoods.His mom owed a dress shop in Brooklyn and I knew her. After awhile, Eric bought her a new home on Long Island and she sold the shop and moved.He was very talented and I think he probably would have still been in KISS if he hadn't died before his time.

Chris1989 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 There's a 2 hour radio show that did a tribute to Eric Carr, plays some of his music and songs he wrote for others. I enjoyed it when I heard it 3-4 years back, but I can't remember it or find it on my PC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McGhee had his reasons to push the reunion at the time. http://www.rollingstone.com/music/news/alternate-kisstory-tommy-thayer-eric-singer-bruce-kulick-speak-out-20140531?page=3The late Eric Carr was the drummer in Kiss when you first joined. How well did he fit in? He was just, like, not real happy. Usually there were two limos for the gigs, and it was usually Gene and Paul in one and Eric and me in the other, and Eric would just be complaining about various things. And I'd be like, you know, you gotta shut up. You're killing me. You know how many people would want your gig right now? Every band needs a pecking order – Gene and Paul are kind of like the two presidents, and you're not gonna get the same power. And I think Eric didn't know how to fit in with that, just let it kind of bother him, and I just wanted to slap him around. But we became very close. He was the best with the fans, I gotta say. But it drove me crazy that he was that miserable. Now, in time, I got to see what some of the faults are of being part of the band. Things don't always go down the way you think they might go down. But in general, Gene and Paul run a very, very hard-working, focused kind of band. They're very dedicated to what they do and how they're perceived, and how to make it go from A to Z. That might mean your feelings might be hurt to make it happen. So be it. Edited November 29, 2014 by dalsh327 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
