Records by current and former members of "the hottest band in the land."

"He rightfully pulled himself away from us and felt betrayed."

“Omitting the death of a musician of Eric Carr’s stature, regardless of your personal views and tastes, is inexcusable.”

"He was a tremendous person, a super talent and one of my closest friends," guitarist says of former bandmate.

Cancer-stricken drummer had to wear wig for “God Gave Rock and Roll to You” promo shoot.

"I miss him today. I was just talking about him yesterday."
