Lets be honest here. Hot In The Shade was a song of 15 tunes, They could of cut at least 7 of those songs and used Eric Carr's songs. Eyes Of Love, Somebody's Waiting, and Can You Feel It. Those songs are better than most of the tunes on Hot In The Shade.
To be fair, Eric isn't around to give his side. I bet he wouldn't be smiling at the thought. As Paul says this, it would be interesting to of maybe put that demo on the box set so the fans could compare the tracks. Ir is Paul smiling because he cut into Eric's song writing royalties. I sometimes really take what Paul says now with a grain of salt.
@@HappyMachorino-bd8no Because Paul said he did it. Did you not watch the video or read his book of fiction? Stay with the rest of us with this video. As for Vinnie. Who gives a rats butt what he did. I could care less about Vinnie
@@karlshuler1011 Of course, Paul said he did it. He made the decision. Still you don't know how much song-writing Vinnie did. In his Expo interview Vinnie began his sentences always: "I wrote the song..." Then he added: "With Paul". Or: "With Gene". "All Hell's Breakin' Loose" is such a fantastic song. I'm sure, Vinnie has a lot to do with it.
IMHO, Eric Carr had every right to feel any way he wanted to. If he felt that his song was ruined, he had every right to feel that way. However, IMHO, I felt that Gene and Paul enhanced the song. They actually made it a better song by easing off the Led Zeppelin influence and make it sound more like KISS. Although both Gene and Paul humbly admitted many times that they were influenced by other rock songs for their songs, they simply wanted to try and make this song sound as original, fresh and new as possible. IMHO, it was a great thing that Gene and Paul did and it fit the Lick It Up album appropriately. This only shows how multi-talented Eric Carr really was. He was much more talented than Peter Criss was. He was THE best drummer KISS ever had. KISS became a heavier band thanks to Eric Carr. He also co-wrote "Under the Rose",and, Escape From the Island", both of which appeared on their 1981 concept album "(Music From) The Elder". He did contribute a lot more to KISS than Peter Criss ever did. All of the albums that Eric played on shows this in more ways than one. May Eric Carr foever rest in peace. He is still sadly missed.
Eric Carr deserved so much more! Than he got out of that band its totaly off the wall! That ego and dollar signs and fights between band members still rule after all these years while at the same time its proven over and over again that these behaviors are the main reason bands break up! Im all for getting recognition of beeing a good selling band song and performance wise! But what honest deecent person wants to see, hear bands beeing liars and dysfunctional!? Or does that come with the territory? I hope not
What they did with Eric's song (Paul, Gene and Vinnie) is great team-work. For the band. This talking-singing is a "new sensation". KISS really rocked the nation💥 And Eric (RIP) was one of them. We don't know what caused his depression (maybe the beginning tumor?), but he could be proud. His "Under The Rose"🌹(with Gene) on The ELDER is one of the greatest KISS songs ever.
What caused his depression you ask? Well analyze the pattern here. Eric Carr was the 3rd band member in a row that was unhappy in KISS apparently as he was treated as an employee not a member and anything he wrote for the band was sabotaged and taken over by Paul or Gene so they would get song writing credits and the royalties in sales and broadcasting that went along with that! Peter, Ace and Eric C. Oh also Vinnie Vincent, Mark St.John...which makes 5 band members that didn't get along well in KISS and got screwed over! That only leaves 2 original members that have always been there. See the consistent pattern? It's not rocket science!
@@HappyMachorino-bd8no Don't get me wrong I'm not making fun of depression...it is a very real thing! But it is often a spiritual matter. Demonic in many cases. It is also caused by other external or outside forces like people that use, abuse in any way or put one down! Sometimes, it occurs when someone cannot accept bad things that they've done or have seen and told to keep quiet. Which of course goes back back to spiritual troubles from within...or without!
@@Dale-wb9lz My English is not good. But I'm going to try to explain my thought. Experts of neurology assume the source of our resiliance in the brain. Some new born babies (healthy) are born as "cry babies". Others can cope with frustration. The "Cry babies" are even years later more frustrated about little stuff. My employer offered resiliance-schoolings at work. Therapists teach the employees: There are problems always and everywhere at work. But how can you deal with it? That's why Paul was right to ask for therapeutical support. Probably Eric would have been unhappy in another band too.
@@CatStanleySpaceDemon exactly , creatures did not tank had a couple airplay songs the Elder was the album which tanked, but give it a try a few good songs just bad choices and final mixing

1st off, Eric Carr joined KISS, not the other way around. He was basically a hired gun, To be "miserable" as a hired gun in the biggest band in the world shows how small minded Eric was. Dude, do the gig, build your name, leave and do a solo album with whatever you want. So small minded.
@@venomagent76 No one denied Eric's talent. But when you think he was more talented than Paul and Gene, then you agree with @sergiomichelmusic: Eric could have consequently said "Goodbye.

Horrible.
All Hells breaking loose was ahead of it's time. The first rap rock rap metal song??
They done Eric Carr shitty
Why didn't he leave then?
Loved Eric Carr. RIP.
" Keep Me Comin' " was very Zeppelin-esque.
As were Get All You Can Take and Radar For Love.
They started out wanting to be The Beatles but eventually Paul and Gene turned it into John and Yoko.
"would have turned into a mimicry of something else"

How do you know that it wasn't Vinnie's idea to improve the song?
Vinnie is co-songwriter.
He for sure (with Paul) improved Eric's song.

@HappyMachorino-bd8no At least in Vinnie's head, he does.
Creatures is one of my favorite Kiss albums. I Love it Loud, War Machine and I Still Love You are Kiss classics.

I would love to hear the original by Eric Carr

If there music was more like zeppelin maybe it would be bearable.
Eric wasn't handled properly,he could sing well,as well as drumming that was stellar.i believe to say that's trials and tribulations of a fast life

@Dale-wb9lz
But depression is often natural born. Paul went to a therapist. Eric could have done the same too.
@@HappyMachorino-bd8no Gee, I've never heard of a newborn being depressed? Lol

Lick it up album is not better than Creatures of the night.
no need to yell tho.
Eric rules! PERIOD!!! If you think otherwise, you dont know the history!
They were producing the albums (some) and so putting to much input to thumb to see past their own precautions
Elder came after Unmasked.
@@berserker7140 You're right. I totally forgot about it.
@@CatStanleySpaceDemon exactly , creatures did not tank had a couple airplay songs the Elder was the album which tanked, but give it a try a few good songs just bad choices and final mixing
Was there a Eric Carr Demo original version before Paul f'd it up?
After Unmasked came The Elder, not Creatures...
@@MosheAlvarez Yeah, I skipped over it. My bad!
Fanon discontinuity.
The rap is still so cringe to this day

young and wasted is the best song they ever made
