If the first Eric Carr CD release was best left to hardcore fans, it’s doubly true of the second one. Added filler include a few interview bits and clips, including one with former Kiss manager Bill Aucoin about Eric. The Rockology version with Bruce Kulick on guitar is superior.įinally, some real serious archival treasures: an Eric Carr drum solo basement tape (same as his live Kiss solo), and a 1967 recording by Eric’s first band The Cellarmen! That’s Eric on lead vocals too. New backing music was recorded for “Eyes of Love”, a song previously released on Rockology. Just a cover, not a demo, by Cassata’s band Z02. It is a cover by drummer Joey Cassata, and a very authentic one at that. “Carr Jam 1981” is, unfortunately, not the original unaltered Elder demo.
The riff sounds like a brother to “Carr Jam”. John was slated to overdub brand new solos for this instrumental, but he too passed before he could finish. “Midnight Stranger” is another unfinished riff. Singer Bob Gilmartin did a great job of it, turning “Elephant Man” into a cross between ballad and rocker, and something Kiss totally could have done on Revenge. Pero of Twisted Sister, and ex-Europe guitarist Kee Marcello. Eric only managed to finish the lyrics for “Elephant Man”, but here it is given music and life by a group of musicians including the late A.J. “Dial L For Love” has the bones of a good song with a unique riff. These were written for Crazy Nights and Revenge, respectively. Two more Kiss outtakes include the legendary “Dial L For Love” and “Elephant Man”. The music is barely audible, though hints of a good song shine through. It was recorded at Gene Simmons’ house, but the old cassette must have deteriorated pretty badly. The unfinished “Troubles Inside You” is a demo with regular Kiss collaborator and Beatlemania member Mitch Weissman.
Eric would have been proud and very happy to hear it as a finished song.
Though the backing track lacks the fidelity of a proper Kiss recording, the song has taken shape as the shoulda-coulda-been hit that it is. This was completed by Ted Poley of Danger Danger. One of Rockology‘s highlights was “Just Can’t Wait” which was crying out for a lead vocal to finish it off. Unfortunately, Eric’s shaky voice (or a warbly tape) makes this totally unlistenable. Then there’s “Shandi”, from Eric’s Kiss audition tape, with brand new acoustic backing music. In chronological terms, this version probably falls between the other two, with lyrics still a work in progress and a different verse melody. This is an almost completely different set of lyrics, although it does have the “Hey Little Caesar” chorus. A third called “Ain’t That Peculiar” was released on the 2001 Kiss Box Set. “No One’s Messin’ With You” is yet another demo of what would become “Little Caesar” from Hot in the Shade. There are a couple Kiss songs here for the diehard fans. Fans of the beloved drummer will have to sift through the bad to get to the good. Some are mere filler, some are pretty decent. For the 20th anniversary of Eric’s passing, another batch of tracks were unearthed.
