  • Here's a in depth look at Eric Carr's "Little Caesar". I explain previously unknown info about the song, and then I perform my lead guitar work along with the demo I reference in this video. It's a historical take on a great HITS track.

    Your guitar playing is second to none. The kiss I feel in love with was the Bruce Eric gene and Paul kiss. Love all kiss but that line up is the one for me. Kissarmy forever

    Great story, great guitar! Thanks! Also, Eric was born on the same date as Julius Caesar.

    Thank you so much for the story. I love Little Caesar. It's one of my favorite Kiss songs. I really wish Eric had more opportunity to sing on the albums. I love his voice. Whenever I see an add for Caesar Pizza or see Caesar's Palace I atomically sing to myself, "Hey Little Caesar, why you messing with me."

    That Bruce takes the time out of his day to do this for us Kiss fans for no compensation is just incredible. He is a huge part of Kisstory and being a guitar nut, it's just amazing to see him make vids like this for us to get rare Kiss insights from the inner circle! Thanks Bruce!

    These are the kind of "behind the scenes" I appreciate. A lot of the stuff that makes it places like KISSOLOGY are already well-known stories. Great stuff.

    • @javtimestwo
      @javtimestwo 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I wish Bruce would talk about why the drums were recorded with electronic pads and not real drums? If you believe the "stories" it was because Kiss could not afford to re-record the drums because their budget was so tiny.

    Eric had a voice that matched his drumming....power that only he could control. I'm glad I got to meet him, even if only briefly.
    Peter was the original, but Eric was the shift into overdrive for the band.
    Thank you for sharing this, sir! Be well and stay healthy & safe 😷

    I’m so happy for all the amazing content you put out for us die hard fans to enjoy. From demos, to stories, Q&A’s and the lovely guitar of the month series... it’s nothing short of fabulous. And your always the nicest guy and a true gentleman. Thank you Bruce for keeping your Kiss-era alive for us. I grew up with the KISS you were in. Learned of Ace and the other guys much later. So I can’t thank you enough for being so generous and open with all things 80s & 90s Kiss ❤️

    Hey Bruce, your stories to the songs are really interesting and the video editing by Lisa makes the whole thing even more enjoyable!
    And... When I see and hear you play like here in "Little Cesar" it's clear to me that you are my personal favorite KISS guitarist!!! Great! Great! Great! Technique, soul and groove... It's all there! I LOVE IT!!! 👍 👌 ✌️

    Eric was a beast on the drums. Bruce your playing on these videos are higher quality than modern guitarists who use a dozen computer tricks and then just mime it.

  • @javtimestwo
    @javtimestwo 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thank you Bruce for putting this together. These are the type of "behind the scenes" videos hardcore Kiss fans enjoy.
    "Little Caesar" and HITS record from '89 reminds me of the day I bought the cassette tape at the local record store and played it front to back all the way home. I probably took the long way because there were so many songs on the new Kiss record.
    Keep up the great work and looking forward to more videos like this.
