Thundering Drums
I don't know how to feel right now. I haven't ever been a big KISS fan because I was born in 2006 and never felt a strong connection with the band. I didn't know any songs besides "I was made for loving you" and I didn't even know any of the band members names. However, now as of March 2024 I learned more about KISS not because of the band but because of a person who was in the band. The first band members name i ever learned was Eric Carr's name. I guess much like other people they felt a connection with him. I felt that when i started watching videos of him goofing off (I wasn't even listening to any of the music he made/helped make. I was purely just watching for who he was as a person). I don't feel that type of connection with any other band members like you won't be seeing me actively reading a Gene Simmons biography because I want too. Eric Carr just seemed so human. He was such a good guy and I may not have met him but hearing stories about him...I kinda miss the guy you know? How could I miss someone I never had the chance to meet? Even as I'm sitting here crying while writing this every so often glancing at the picture of Eric Carr on the face of my own copy of "The Eric Carr Story" I feel like I need to make this post. I wrote this type of post before I read the book but it sadly got deleted. However, after reading the book in basically one day I feel compelled to rewrite it to get my own emotions and feelings out. One thing I wrote in the previous post that stood out was that I said I felt empty. I get like that sometimes when I get so vested into a person its like I lose a part of myself. So I was feeling very hollow before I read the book. But now after reading the book I feel like I gave that part of myself to Eric Carr and he sorta handed me back this piece of hope and confidence to keep going with my life to strive for better things. I think for me at least Eric Carr is the best drummer in the world not just for his skill but also for who he was as a person. He is definitely one of my role models now to strive to be remembered as someone who did something. I don't cry a lot it's not who I am but when i read the book and write this post I'm crying. It really shows how in such little of a time that I've learned of Eric Carr how much he grew on me and influenced me. I'm very glad I had the chance to learn about him through the people who loved him like his family, Carrie Stevens, and the many people who befriended him. I hope no one forgets who he was and what he's done for everyone.
Keep Rock n Rollin, Izzy
Shout out to @spacefoxy and many other fans for posting so much amazing Eric Carr content. I think it helps a lot of people in many different ways.
P.S I won't speak on my own feelings of KISS the band and who they are now and what they did while Eric Carr was sick and dying. But I hope their happy because I think at the end of the day Eric would have wanted them to be happy too.

Do y'all think the members of KISS ever look back at the 70s, 80s, and 90s and go "wow those were some crazy nights"
I don't know if I made this joke yet but I find it very funny

I’m fucking crying right now I just finished up watching the last show and it was just awesome
Ignore how bad the pics are because i watched it on Tv-
But I am super emotional and words cant describe how grateful I am to have seen Kiss on thier final show from home and the fact that I got to experience it in person makes me so grateful to be part of the Kiss Army.
Thank you so much Gene, Paul, Eric Singer, Tommy, Eric Carr, Ace, Peter, Mark, Vinnie, Bruce and especially Doc for making Kiss possible and for helping Kiss along this journey. It has been an incredible 50 years and it would not have possible without you guys.
Im super excited to the new era of Kiss and to know that I was there at the end of a chapter and to know that I’ll be here for the very beginning of a new chapter makes me beyond happy. We love you Kiss 🤘
