Heartbreaking: Eric Carr's Last Days & Legacy - Bruce Kulick

It is so good to hear Bruce talk about his dear friend and for all that he has done to keep his memory alive.

[@joaquinberndes5444]

I Met Eric a few months before he passed away. I saw him at IKIA and he was the nicest member of the band I ever met. He asked me questions about my name and where I was from, and was the only kiss member that asked what my name was when he dedicated his autograph to me. Wonderful guy. I’ll never forget it.

[@angelaryer8981]

I never met Eric but I could tell he was such a sweetheart. Thank you Bruce and Loretta for keeping his memory alive.

[@WhyTheHorseface]

I was fortunate to see KISS on the Crazy Nights tour in 1988. Eric did a crazy drum solo with Simmons electronic drums triggering synthesizer tones. His drumset and his hair were both enormous. He played everything much faster than the album, because he had so much energy. So happy I got to see him play in person.

[@kevinbirge2130]

I saw him on Hot in the Shade. I rate that performance up there with Neal Peart and W.S. Holland.

[@JCHolland]

@@kevinbirge2130 No disrespect, but there really is no comparison between Eric Carr and Neal Peart. Eric was slightly above average as a drummer. Peart is largely considered one of the greatest of all time.

Eric may not have been Neil Peart but his double bass drumming was some of the finest of his time bar none! And his sound live was enormous. Think Creatures of the night drum sound!

we miss eric not only was he a great drummer he was a great person

[@ll7868]

A couple days ago I was watching Charlie Benante play 5 Minutes Alone with Pantera 2.0 and it made me remember back to the spring of 1989 when Anthrax opened for KISS and a stick Charlie tossed into the crowd bounced off my head leaving a goose egg. Then I thought about Eric Carr's drum solo that night, it was the highlight of KISS's gig for me. I was there for Anthrax, was never a fan of KISS but as a drummer I was blown away by Eric's solo, I was on acid that night, Eric did his solo with these glowing sticks and all under blacklight that was trippy as fuck.

[@ll7868]

Yeah, Eric did have far more talent than Gene and Paul allowed him to showcase on the albums, which is why his drum solo was the highlight of their show, you got to see just how talented he really was. It left me wondering why he was playing down to Gene & Paul's level. Everyone in that band who wasn't Gene or Paul was better than they were allowed to be, otherwise their fans would realize just how mediocre Gene & Paul were, that was the point of the makeup and flashy shows, to distract from the bland talent.

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

​@@ll7868 If someone was more talented than Paul and Gene: he was free to leave and organise his own band and career. That's why your thoughts don't sound realistic in the working world. Some "talented" people like to be better than their team. But team-leader need team-Player. Not solo stars.

[@YesOkayButWhy]

​@HappyMachorino-bd8no Of course he was free to leave. He was just commenting. Kiss are a big band and it paid, not that hard for anyone who reads that to figure out.

[@joeylodes]

Met Bruce at a Long Island club decades ago. Very cool guy. Great player. RIP EC

The saddest part of Eric’s death is he died the same day as Freddie Mercury. Freddie’s deaths clearly overshadowed Eric’s. He deserved so much more recognition at the time of his death.

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

​​@@cbinet123 Did he ever criticise Bruce Kulick? I don't think so. Paul even wrote about Bob Kulick: "a friend of mine". No bad word about Sean Delaney. He even wrote respectfully about his ex-wife!

I will never understand why Kiss could not put at least SOMETHNING during the last show as a tribute to Eric Carr. That little isolated voice part that Bruce was speaking of, That would had been perfect for that. Just a little say like picture/video montage with that playing in the background. I never met Eric Carr. But met Bruce several times. He is the exact same off camera as he is on. Real genuine good person.

[@joeb2588]

Yah, like the Stones still show a Charlie Watts video before their shows...he passed in 2021 sadly .

[@stanleybroniszewsky8538]

I'm getting ahead of myself. But when Paul was on his solo project having Eric Singer as his drummer, Eric knew it was only time before being replaced. That was Paul's way of trying out the new drummer to replace Eric.

My biggest disappointment with Kiss is how there was no tribute to Eric during the Revenge tour. I saw kiss in 93 for the Revenge tour. Gene and Paul should have had a video montage during Singers drum solos. Or even a video montage or Pic of him up on the screen during the show.

[@renatamalvern670]

That's because nobody matters to Gene and Paul, they care about themselves only.

[@pacoloco4030]

That's because of 2 things 1. There were NO SCREENS on the Revenge tour, which was 1992, not 93 and 2. Paul didn't really care for Eric anymore and wanted to fire him on his death bed. FACTS!!!!

[@ultraphobic69]

Sad fact for me. I heard the news Eric Carr and Freddie Mercury had died on my 22 birthday. Queen and KISS are the two bands I've most been influenced by in my music career. Eric was a fine drummer and added the balls KISS desperately needed. Very sad day for me and a birthday I won't ever forget

[@ThomasLiberoRock]

Losing Eric was really a tragedy. But the real tragedy, and I’m a die hard KISS fan, is that people in the band are still lying about Eric’s position in the band during that time. Sadly, they had already decided to fire him before he passed away

[@paulpalermo2109]

Not so sure I believe that. Eric was definitely unhappy and he thought they were going to fire him but I don’t think they would have.

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

Ace wrote in "No Regrets" Eric wanted to play on his solo album. Maybe Eric wanted to leave KISS? Gene called him. He had to decide, wheter he wants to be the KISS drummer or in Ace's band. Fair enough. Obviously Ace enjoyed it to make bad blood in KISS.

[@karosel]

​​@@paulpalermo2109they were definitely going to fire him . They went into his hospital room and told him they were going to let him go because they needed to continue on with the next album. They didn't even have the decency to wait until he had passed to replace him. That's a fact. Eric already knew that Gene and Paul would replace him with Eric Singer.

[@HappyMachorino-bd8no]

@karosel The manager, Larry Mazer, accepted his responsibility for this decision. The interview is on "Three Sides Of The Coin".

[@pommyray5667]

wonderful story. I think he did not get the publicity he deserved. maybe part of the reason being he died the same day as Freddie Mercury.

[@ATCguy1973]

I really think the song Eyes of Love could have been a huge hit if Kiss recorded it for Hot in the shade. It's a real shame that Eric was never able to showcase his overall musical talent with Kiss. He could have done Beth live playing the piano himself. That's how talented he was.

[@thebluesrockers]

I heard that Eric Carr's girlfriend stated that Gene and Paul came to the hospital to check on Eric. Right after they got there, they got the news about Eric's fate. Then Gene and Paul stood beside Eric's bed like he wasn't even there and said "Were going to have find another drummer to finish the tour. Do you have any ideas? If that's true, I'm mind blown that they would discuss that in front of Eric, However, not surprised.

[@jemstar3388]

Carrie has said on multiple occasions that they tried to get Eric to sign resignation papers while he was in hospital for chemo and Carrie claims to have been with Eric when this was happening and many others who knew Eric have even said he got fired including his friend Gary Corbett.

I'm still a fan but Paul, Paul can be a huge ass-hole when he wants to. He has done things to fans that has made them sell their entire Kiss collection.

Kiss was off a extremely huge tour with Slaughter around that time. Probably after the next record/tour (Basically Revenege.) I mean we are only speculating obviously, But Eric may would had left the group anyways. Read so much from his then girlfriend (Carrie Stevens) that Eric was very unhappy with his place in the band. And others have said it also. Paul said himself they was not getting along (Barely speaking to each other.) Yeah, The Reunion was gonna happen anyways. So you may be correct. Giving how the band was at that time anyways before Eric's passing.

I forgot about Revenge I thought the comment was about the Reunion

I thank after the psycho circus tour and the headache of working with Peter and his diminishing drumming skills Paul and Gene would’ve fired him. Eric would’ve got a call in a New York minute. I believe he would’ve stayed until the final shows last year!
