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
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!
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."
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.
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!!! 👍 👌 ✌️
These Eric Carr songs really are amazing. I've always loved this along with "Can You Feel It" which will always hold a special place in my heart. Thanks Bruce as always for sharing your background info and your joy of the material, we appreciate you so much
I love Hot In The Shade and love Little Caesar! I think it's criminal that many KISS fans, don't give H.I.T.S. the respect and love it deserves.A barn burner of a record!
Love that story Bruce! Love the song. love the in depth history. Love this rendition! It should be released officially. Still miss Eric to this day. First saw KISS in 1984 when I was 15 and again in 1988. Both Eric and yourself will always be a huge part of KISSTORY. Thank you so much!
Bruce you’ve always been my favorite guitar player in KISS and I feel like you’ve got a heart of gold I love your extra information on old songs and everything from the 80s that you talk about and keeping the memory of Eric alive you rock bro !!
Eric Carr always seemed HAPPY when you guys were playing live, Bruce. Great memories of you guys (saw HITS tour 3 times), and then you on the Revenge tour. (Maybe I'll get to catch a Grand Funk show someday!)
Bruce, what a treat ! Thank you for sharing this ! Eric, Rest Easy, Rest Free. For you are now where one day we'll all be. Thy load now light, thy tasks now done. Thy battles with medical demons won. Rest Easy, Eric, Rest Free. From the Rockies of Utah. 🍻
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.
Absolutely amazing! Thank you Bruce for doing these behind the song episodes. This wad a great story and awesome demo of Little Ceasar. Keep on Rockin bud.
Nice song from a really great album. Thanks for the interesting story, Bruce. It would also be interesting to hear stories about the recording Crazy Nights album.
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.
Thanks for the history of the song! I love this song and I'm a huge Eric Carr fan. I love all of your posts. Thanks Bruce! BTW, I'm a huge Union and ESP fan too!
Thank you so much for doing this video. It is my favorite song off the album. I wish they gave Eric more freedom singing more but understand how they operated. If you have any more of you and Eric would love to hear more! Eric was a good bassist as well.
I really dig your "Stories Behind the Songs" - a very cool thing you are doing. Many thanks for taking the time to post these videos! Another sweet LP that I also just purchased again on vinyl! Stoked to have this one!
It was a great song, the longer I love kiss, the more appreciative I am of the more obscure or lesser known songs/records. For example, I’ve been really digging silver spoon a lot lately.
Another good video Bruce. Love hearing Eric play on this version as well. Little Caesar was always a favorite of mine of the HITS album. It just has a good, fun vibe. Wish the band would have performed it more on the tour. Was it just not going over to well live?
