European Albums Chart [22]. Finnish Albums Chart [23]. In my overall opinion this book is worth the money and time it took to read and buy I think you'll really enjoy it. The characters and premise of this young love story were really good. Molly is a strong, independent and smart young woman who doesn't 'need' a boyfriend but of course, would like to find a special someone.

Weston, is a star hockey player with high hopes for a college and pro career and he is known as a bad boy womanizer. The story begins with Molly in study hall realizing that Weston is checking her out. From there, the romance story develops and I while you can see the romance developing between them, I was still intrigued to see how it would all work out since they really are both good strong characters. It all takes place during their senior year in high school. This could have been such a great story! Both Molly and Weston are great characters and their family dynamics are good as well.

Molly's brother is a college hockey player and well known and her cousin is in the NFL.

He is downright rude to her when they first meet her. So, when the story ends and then goes into an epilogue one year later, I was so disappointed. There was so much more that could have been told in their story! You go from Molly and Weston deciding to be an offical couple to on year later and for me, there were so many questions and scenarios that I felt could have been part of their story and made this book a great fun young romance. I felt like this book simply skimmed the surface I just feel so strongly that there was more to their story.

Overall, if you like young romance with not much angst and it's pretty "clean" but lots of suggestive languange, then I think you would like this book.

Carr's first album with Kiss was 's Music from "The Elder" , which marked a departure for the band toward a mystical art-rock direction. Carr said he found writing lyrics harder than writing music. Besides drumming, Carr also played guitar, bass guitar and piano and sang background vocals. Occasionally he sang lead vocals, such as on " Black Diamond " and "Young and Wasted" live with Kiss.

Carr recorded his version of the song in the same room in the Record Plant where the song was originally recorded, [12] using the same backing track as Criss. In , he recorded a demo with Kiss lead guitarist Bruce Kulick. Carr wrote the music, played bass and drums, while Kulick played guitar.

As Carr was not a proficient lyricist, he presented the demo to Simmons with the words to Marvin Gaye 's classic " Ain't That Peculiar ".

Editorial Reviews

In his book, Stanley recalls several memorable Carr episodes, one of which was when he took nude photos in a bathtub holding a glass of champagne, claiming that the photographer had promised not to publish them the photos were soon publicized in the journal with which the photographer was associated.

Another time, having just met drummer Eric Singer and remaining insecure despite being in good standing with Kiss, Carr made the prescient claim that Singer was going to replace him as the new drummer in the band, which ultimately did occur in the early s. Carr was a powerful hard-hitting drummer and one of the first drummers to adopt the classic s snare drum sound: In his resume sent to Kiss, Carr stated that his drumming style ranged from heavy metal and hard rock to pop and new wave claiming that "I can adapt to most situations easily.

In an interview he recalled, "I was caught up in the whole Beatlemania thing. I guess I was attracted to the drums because of the feeling of the rhythm and how it moved you, just sitting in your seat. I loved the way Ringo moved. I identified with him at the time". Carr's interest in double bass drumming came from his admiration of Ginger Baker and John Bonham, once telling 16 magazine, "I just loved the way John Bonham played drums". In February , Carr began feeling ill. Medical tests initially revealed what appeared to be manageable health issues.

In April , Carr underwent a series of surgeries to remove tumors in his right atrium and lungs in an effort to restore heart function and prevent the cancer's growth. Soon after Carr's diagnosis, Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons replaced him with session drummer Eric Singer to commence new recordings for the band's upcoming album Revenge. After recovering from the multiple surgeries, Carr pressed Stanley and Simmons to let him back in the band.

Stanley and Simmons refused; both have stated they repeatedly told Carr to focus on his cancer treatments and they would allow him to return to Kiss once he regained his health. By mid, the band was preparing to shoot the music video for their upcoming single " God Gave Rock and Roll to You ". Despite his poor health, Carr asked Stanley and Simmons to allow him to be in the video. Carr flew to Los Angeles in July After the video shoot, Carr flew back to New York to continue cancer treatments; his health had deteriorated to the point where he was unable to play drums for the recording sessions for Revenge.

On November 24, , Carr died at the age of He died on the same day as Freddie Mercury , the lead singer of the British rock band Queen , whose death attracted more media attention. In keeping with Carr's accessibility to his fans, his family decided to open his funeral service to the public while reserving the interment as a private event.

Although it was not publicised at the time, Carr's death was considered controversial amongst his family and Kiss. Both Paul Stanley and Gene Simmons were labelled as the "bad guys" by Carr for booting him out of the band and not supporting him in his time of need. The two were not made aware of this until they attended his funeral and were treated with hostility by Carr's family and friends. Stanley wrote in his autobiography that the allegation of mistreating Carr was simply untrue and that he did what he thought was right to support him. However, during Carr's service, Stanley admitted to "sobbing uncontrollably" and later regretted the way he handled the situation.

Former Kiss guitarist Bruce Kulick , along with Carr's family, released Carr's first and only solo album in , titled Rockology , which featured many demos that Kulick and Carr worked on together along with songwriter and friend Adam Mitchell.

Carr had for years been trying to get his hands on a copy of the solo for his personal collection, but his request was always rebuffed by Bob Ezrin with the excuse that he did not know where the masters for the session were. The Revenge album was dedicated to Carr. He was also paid homage on the "Kiss My Ass" and Kissology 2 videos. However, the band declined a tribute concert that was requested by a circle of fans the year after his death. Simmons stated, "We didn't want to do a tribute concert. We are dedicating the album to his name, but no concerts in his name.
