KISS: Newly Discovered Songs From Late ERIC CARR To Surface
- Mar. 14, 2006
|
|
Newly discovered, unreleased material from late Eric "The Fox" Carr, who was the drummer for KISS between 1980 and 1991, will be released by his family later this year. The songs all are from the era 1984-1991. It's not known at this time whether the family will release an EP or if they will just make the tracks available for download through the official Eric Carr web site, www.ericcarr.com. Most of these songs were performed by Carr, and some were co-written with KISS bassist/vocalist Gene Simmons. One of the tracks is titled "Elephant Man" and was intended for KISS' 1992 album "Revenge", but Carr sadly passed away due to cancer in November of 1991 and was unable to see the song make its way to the CD. There's also a 1984 song written by Carr, which he presented to KISS for the album that became "Animalize". Entitled "Midnight Stranger", the track was written and performed by Carr. One of his favorite tunes, "Dial L For Love", which he co-wrote with Gene Simmons and Adam Mitchell, is also part of the newly discovered material. Other songs include a never-released demo of Eric's tune "Tiara" plus a complete song written and performed by Eric along with Mitch Weissman. Titled "The Troubles Inside You", this track features Carr on drums, guitars and background vocals, with Weissman on bass guitar and lead vocals. (Thanks: KISS Kollector Online)

i'm sure there was lots of material turned down by gene from all members of kiss to make room for such classics like " murder in high heels" and "while the city sleeps " gene you've totally disrespected your fans. have fun playing in half full arenas.

"There is not a doubt in my mind that you Know NOTHING about ERIC CARR. "
You're totally right about these guys. I mean, sure, most of these assholes love a good Kiss-bash, but this is different. Eric Carr was everything that Simmons is NOT - he was a very caring person, loyal, friends and family came first in his life. He NEVER badmouthed anybody, and he certainly wasn't in it for the money. He made enough from Kiss to live comfortably, but financially he was NOT a member - he was the first "member" of the band to be on a payroll instead of getting a percentage, which actually paid off later as Kiss sales went down.
Eric couldn't have been a nicer, more humble person. And he was one HELL of a drummer on top of everything else. Check out his solo from the Hot In The Shade Tour. Fucking incredible.
That's interesting about the Revenge song. I didn't realize he wrote anything for that album. Little Ceasar was his first vocal spot on an album. I wonder if he would have gotten to sing on Revenge, too. Little Ceasar was co-written with Gene too, if I'm not mistaken, so that's probably an indication of what the song would have sounded like.
And no, assholes, Gene isn't going to be making a penny off of any of this. The article said the stuff was probably going to be posted for free anyway. Even if not, his family isn't trying to make any money off of it. You think they're going to try to get rich selling Eric Carr stuff? Think again.
Bruce should produce this. He did a good job with the Rockology stuff, although the source material for that was pretty poor. Hope this stuff sounds better.

At the lower forms of life that spew forth te bile they do. Eric Carr was a shining example of a steller human and a good drummer as well. I'm a long time KISS fan and I'll admit to be less than thrilled at some of the turns the group has made the last few years but I'll still stand up as a fan.
I guess all these keyboard warriors gotta get their jollys somehow...And being stupid is a common hobby. Looks like the motherload can be found in the posts of a lot of the Blabbermouth users. (besides...it's fun to get the haters all riled up and easy to do as well)

Allyssia, you have problems. Are you a male, female, or a little of both? I think it is probably both.

was a great individual who put his heart and soul into the music. A complete class act to the end. He was the best drummer that played in Kiss. Total respect. I am glad to see the family letting us hear some of these songs. Very cool. One of the most underrated drummers in the world. Period.

Allyssia, that could possibly have been the most fucked up and uncalled for thing I've ever read. I hope you and your family get cancer.

hey stranger. Ya we had a great time at the concert. My brother and I don't get together a lot because we are about 5 hours appart. I would like to hear some of those songs from Eric. I only saw him play once in Calgary in 85 and he was awsome.

...the person who said they took a dump on Eric Carr's grave must not realize that Eric's body was placed in a mausoleum, in a granite block above ground. He has no grave.
HAHA! What a loser! Has no idea what they're talking about.
Long live Eric Carr. His memory will last much longer than 90% of these new bands.

The family donates a major portion of anything sold to the St. Judes Hospital for Children with cancer.If this was anything to do with Gene or KISS,then yes,it would be all about the money.I think the fact that the family has opened up to the fans as well as letting us buy his personal posessions,all while donating to a good cause show`s that he came from a really good family.No wonder he was such a decent man.And having met him numerous times,he was a humble,gracious man who cherished his fans,and anyone who thinks he was anything but a gentleman is seriously mistaken.Thankfully the scumbag known as the demon didnt rub off on him.There are so many things people do not know about his life.He managed to keep everyone happy.And the fact he died as he did was beyond sad.I am thankful that he was with us for the time he was.He left us with alot of good things,and now even more will be available to us.I think we as fans of his owe a debt of gratitude to the Carravello family for being as kind as they have.

I see Gene Simmons name is attached to these songs as "co-writer" (which basically means someone else wrote the entire song, lyrics, bridge, and melody and then recorded all the instruments, but Gene suggested they use the word "spoon" instead of "moon" in one verse).
So look forward to the lawsuits flying so Gene can stop these songs and get his fair cut, because we all know how bad he's hurting for cash these days. Leave it to the greediest, most arrogant cock in the music biz to swoop in and yank money out of the hands of a dead man's family.

When it comes to any artist or rocker who has passed away we should be more respectful. Please, anyone at BLABBERMOUTH, remove any comment that may offend family members when it comes to this, regardless of who they were in life.
REST IN PEACE ERIC!
