  • Yes, by the Kinks!

  • Like I said, the original is by The Kinks, but Eric Carr plays in this video over You Really Got Me, by Van Halen!

  • BY THE KINKS. NOT VAN HALEN.

  • Eric Carr was the only respectable replacement Kiss ever had.

  • @Tonyr67 You're right. It is sloppy. I think the focus was on impressing KISS with his speed, but it hurt the overall sound. Look, I've seen KISS live 18 times and I've probably spent $10K on the band; I think I'm entitled to an opinion, so I'm going to say it. I love Eric Carr. Tremendous person and good drummer, but just because he died before his time doesn't mean we have to like everything he does, and just because we don't, doesn't mean that we don't respect him any less.

  • @Tonyr67 I'd say this is an accurate comment. Carr was a sweetheart. I met him in Memphis. Joy of a guy and I was a huge Carr fan, but in all the 80s KISS shows I watched, I always felt like he was a little out of control and maybe even loose. Lots of repetitive fills and the same solo for several tours. I mean no disrespect but Singer does add a degree of discipline to the drumming sound.

  • Agreed nice guy but drumming never impressed me. And everything was Way to fast.

  • @leftyonedonny

    I was never a big fan of Eric Carr...

    I'm sorry....

    It is all just so basic. I remember all KISS songs back then, where played much to fast.

    It sounded really out of control!

    For me, it was a relief when Singer joined the band.

    Although Carr was a great guy!!!!

  • @Tonyr67 32 years nice! I just think he tried to put his own personal touch on the song thats all. He was great either way. Hard to believe it's gonna be 20 years since his death.

  • @leftyonedonny

    To much bassdrums, to much of everything actually....

    And his timing in this song isn't very good...

    Alex van Halen his parts were already excellent on this one....

    Am I a drummer? YES I AM, for about 32 years....

  • @Tonyr67 Sloppy in what way? Are you a drummer? I am and I think maybe because the recording isnt that great it might sound off a little.

  • I'm sorry for all you Eric Carr fans. But this sounds verry sloppy.....

  • @ericcarr21 eric carr=da best
