During the early ‘80s, two rock drummers did a masterful job of replicating the enormity of John Bonham’s drum sound—Bobby Chouinard on Billy Squier’s Don’t Say No, and most definitely, Eric Carr on KISS’ Creatures Of The Night. 

Coming off of a string of albums that saw the then-still masked quartet moving further and further away from their earlier hard n’ heavy sound, KISS (which at that stage was comprised of Paul Stanley, Gene Simmons, Ace Frehley, and Eric Carr…although Frehley was preparing to exit) wisely decided to get back to basics on Creatures Of The Night—their tenth studio effort.

The second KISS album that Carr appeared on (after replacing original drummer Peter Criss), Creatures was released on October 10, 1982. And while it has rightfully gone on to be mentioned in the same breath as Alive!, Destroyer, and Rock And Roll Over as one of KISS’ all-time best—and certainly most focused and inspired—offerings, the album underperformed chart and sales-wise, resulting in the band ditching the make-up (and unfortunately, also Carr’s thunderous drum sound) a year later.
