Looking back, Stanley said he regretted not permitting him to handle the drums on the song. Just a few months after filming the clip, Carr suffered a brain hemorrhage and was hospitalized. “Learned the parts and played them great and did take after take for the video.” “He did a stellar job,” Stanley said in KISStory. The drummer was in remission at the time of the shoot but had to wear a wig as he lost his hair during chemo. It gave it a special humanity and I cannot hear this section without envisioning his face tilted upward toward the mike, filled with joy at being alive and in the studio again.”Īccording to Simmons in the 2021 program Biography: KISStory on A&E, Carr “begged” to appear in the video for “God Gave Rock ‘n’ Roll to You II,’ which was filmed in July 1991 in Los Angeles. He showed off the scar on his chest and referred to himself jokingly as ‘the dead guy.’ His pure, high voice was an important part of the breakdown section of the tune. “He was visibly weakened by his ordeal, but in very good spirits. “The most poignant part of session was when Eric Carr arrived,” Ezrin remembered in Behind the Mask.
Carr, still desperate to take part in some respect, insisted on singing harmonies during the interlude with Stanley. “Eric Singer did some tremendous playing and also changed the chemistry somewhat of the band, so it all felt right,” Stanley said in Behind the Mask. The drummer played with Stanley on his 1989 solo tour and had recently come off the road with Alice Cooper on the latter's “Trashes the World” tour. “I was very honored to be asked and had no idea at that time how sick Eric really was,” Singer said years later. While recovering, Carr pleaded with the group to allow him to perform on the track, but Simmons and Stanley insisted he focus on getting well. He required multiple surgeries to remove tumors and underwent chemotherapy in an effort to try to stop further spread of the disease. Then, prior to recording, Kiss were dealt a crushing blow when it was discovered drummer Eric Carr was suffering from cancer of the heart.

Riding high on that success, taking a featured slot on a soundtrack for a hotly anticipated summer movie was a no-brainer. The group rebounded as the decade came to a close with 1989’s Hot in the Shade and the ensuing tour which saw them refocus attention on the beloved but long ignored '70s portion of their catalog. Kiss had spent the majority of the '80s barely keeping it together, between trying to compete with a shifting – and much younger – rock music landscape as well as the wandering eye of Gene Simmons, who was preoccupied looking toward Hollywood and an acting career. Following some retooling of the lyrics and speeding up the tempo, the band released their interpretation of the song as the ballad “God Gave Rock ‘n’ Roll to You II” on Aug. Co-hosted by Tracy Pattin and Josh Lucas.Momentum was already in the favor of Kiss when they were approached by Interscope Records to cover Argent's “God Gave Rock and Roll to You” for the soundtrack to the sequel to the surprise 1989 hit film Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure.
