From the time he joined the band to this very day, Carr remains one of the most beloved members of the KISS family.Ĭarr died on Novemof a rare heart cancer. In addition to his musical contributions, Carr was equally known for his inviting personality and genuine love for the fans. His last public appearance before his death was at the MTV Video Music Awards in September 1991.Ĭarr contributed his talent to the bands many gold and platinum albums during his tenure, and can be heard on the band's many hit songs from the 1980s, including 'Lick It Up', 'Heaven's On Fire', 'Crazy Nights', 'Tears Are Falling' and 'Forever', to name a few.

His final recording with KISS was 'God Gave Rock And Roll To You II'. Paul said he recorded albums by BLUE ÖYSTER CULT and other popular bands with some of the drums from this set.'Ĭarr replaced Peter Criss in KISS in 1980 and made his recording debut with the band on 1981's 'Music From 'The Elder'' album. Paul told me Eric gifted him this drum set, Simmons pads and, I believe, his chrome Chikara set, and Eric had it sent freight right after his video shoot for 'God Gave Rock 'N' Roll To You II' song by KISS, from Los Angeles to Paul's recording studio in Milbrook, NY.

In the Reverb listing, the seller of the Carr kit writes: 'While I was playing in a KISS tribute band in 2005, my dream came true when I bought this kit from Paul Orofino, one of Eric's closest friends and the one who recorded Eric's audition demo tape for KISS. The set comes with a certificate of authenticity from the Eric Carr estate. In 2006, Paul Stanley resurrected 'Magic Touch,' which was played every night on the 'Live to Win' tour.A Ludwig 12-piece drum set made for and owned by late KISS drummer Eric Carr is being sold via Reverb. While 'I Was Made For Lovin' You' remains a permanent staple in the band's shows, much of the album's songs (other than 'Sure Know Something,' and '2,000 Man') have rarely been played live after the Dynasty tour. Simmons, one of the band's primary songwriters and vocalists, sings only two. This was the only Kiss album where Frehley sang as many songs as Paul Stanley and more than Gene Simmons. 'Hard Times' and 'Save Your Love' were recorded in the same hard rock style as Frehley's solo album. It had a pronounced disco beat, and was a success at a time when disco was at its peak popularity.Īfter waiting nearly two years to record lead vocals for a Kiss song (1977's 'Shock Me' and 'Rocket Ride'), Ace Frehley contributed three to Dynasty - '2,000 Man,' 'Hard Times' and 'Save Your Love.' '2,000 Man,' a cover of the 1967 Rolling Stones song, would become a concert staple for Kiss and one of Frehley's signature songs. The first single from the album, 'I Was Made for Lovin' You,' marked a rather drastic stylistic departure for Kiss. The rest of the drums were recorded by Anton Fig, who played drums on Ace Frehley's 1978 solo album. He performed on only one song, 'Dirty Livin''.

Criss, by this time, had fallen deep into substance abuse and was also recovering from an automobile accident. After pre-production and rehearsals were completed, Poncia decided to exclude Criss from most of the recording, judging him unable to drum well enough. Kiss enlisted Vini Poncia, who produced Peter Criss's solo album, to produce Dynasty.
