Eric Carr Quotations

Yup, the toilet is my best friend before a show.

I can't say why people lie; they just do. Everyone has their own reasons for not telling the truth.

You know, who cares about seeing the girls when everybody wants to see the band. That's what's important, KISS is important. I think we look great, and the attitude is there, and I'm real happy with it.

I can't wait to get out. It's been much too long, I don't like being home. I'd rather play. This tour is going to be really big. We're gonna have the biggest show we can have. It's gonna be different not like the old KISS shows.

I wished that I could have been down there because Paul actually wanted me to do the tour with him, but then he realized that it just wouldn't be right. It wouldn't be a solo tour anymore. It would look like just half of KISS.

When I was a kid, I went through a lot of musical phases, and one was when I'd learn everything that The Beatles ever recorded. After I started drums, I fell in love with their music so much that I just wanted to learn everything.

I was in one bar band from 1965 to '69, then I was in another one from 1970 to '79 - a 9-year bar band!

There's no dancing girls. We're kinda like secondary to the thing. It's a story about these two guys that are in love with this one girl and how it unfolds and what happens.

We'd go through the whole story again, ... but when we got to that part, he kept saying, 'I don't remember.'

Bearing in mind I'm not a mental health expert in any way, he seemed fine. He wasn't highly agitated, and didn't seem out of sorts.

He didn't see any movement when he looked at her in the rearview mirror.

I think it's a great album, but it came out at the wrong time. We got a bad deal and it was a very weird time. Without getting to into it, it was not the right time to do what we did. When we went into it, I wasn't sure about it and I told the guys that, but once I understood it more, I got into it just as much as everyone else.

I think KISS fans are so loyal. They want the band to be there and that's the most important thing. If I was cool enough for Gene, Paul and Ace to pick me, then I was cool enough for the fans.

There's some things I want you to be aware of. I want you to know what your rights are.

I've tried electric drum pads, but I hate them. I even had a huge, double-bass electronic kit in my last apartment that I played on through headphones, and I had that for maybe two days and that was it!

When we had gone down there you have to remember KISS had never been to Australia. So all the hysteria of KISS that was happening in the seventies was building up in Australia. These kids were waiting seven years to see KISS. I was lucky enough to be there when we went over. We got the key to the city, it was just great.

Sometimes I'll listen to a little old Van Halen, or some Beatles, Zeppelin stuff, classical music... I like a lot of different things.
