Eric Carr

They always wanted to be "the Beatles on steroids."

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

Congratulations, you're in Kiss! Here's your big orange chicken costume.

Since 1973, the band has taken the stage with five different lead guitarists and three drummers. Here's who's played the most shows in each role.

Michael James Jackson explains how he helped Kiss get the massive drum sound featured on their identity-reclaiming 1982 album 'Creatures of the Night.'

He'd replaced original drummer Peter Criss just before the sessions for 1981's 'Music From 'The Elder.''

He wasn't the band's original drummer, but he'd long since earned a place of honor.

Co-founding drummer Peter Criss had appeared on just one track for 1979's 'Dynasty,' and wasn't featured at all on the follow-up.

The best Kiss songs featuring the songwriting, drumming and singing of the late great Eric Carr.

It appears that a lawsuit brought against Kiss by people claiming to be the heirs of former drummer Eric Carr was actually filed by people with no connection to the family.
