Born Paul Caravello, Eric Carr was the drummer with KISS for more consecutive years than anyone else. His makeup design, The Fox, was only seen on two of the groups releases, "Creatures of the Night" and "Kiss Killers", the latter being a greatest hits compilation with a few new songs on it.

He died in 1991 from cancer. The group's 1992 release "Revenge" contained what is believed to be the only drum solo Carr ever recorded with the band, titled "Carr Jam 1981".
