According to Simmons, Carr had lost all his hair due to chemotherapy and had to wear a wig for the shoot. Shortly after the surgery, Carr joined the band to perform in the 'God Gave Rock 'N' Roll to You II' music video. He underwent open-heart surgery in April 1991 to remove tumors. The drum tracks were recorded by Eric Singer, who would become Kiss' full-time drummer following Carr's death.Ĭarr went to the hospital and was diagnosed with heart cancer. Although he was too ill to play drums on the track, he is featured on backing vocals during the a cappella break, singing the repeated line '.to everyone, he gave a song to be sung', as well as performing drums during the video for the song. It was the last Kiss song to feature longtime drummer Eric Carr before his death three months later after it was released as a single. It is one of the few songs from Kiss' 'non-makeup era' to be played live since the band returned to wearing their trademark makeup in 1996. Though the power ballad covered the original Argent 1973 version 'God Gave Rock and Roll to You', it had substantially modified lyrics in the verses, thus the reason behind the slight change in the name of the song. It was later included on Kiss' 1992 album Revenge.
