Thanks to Wienerworld Ltd., KRR is able to giveaway 2 copies of ERIC CARR "Unfinished Business".

To win a copy of ERIC CARR "Unfinished Business" all you have to do is send an email to

To get a better chance, and if you know the answer, you can also answer the 3rd question .... Good luck !!

The winners will be chosen randomly on January 15, 2012.

1) Danger Danger singer Ted Poley sings lead vocals on "Just Can't Wait".
    Name the title  of the KISS song Danger Danger did perform live during their Japan  
    1992 Tour.

2) In 1987 Ace Frehley's "Frehley's Comet" was released. The album contains "Breakout",
    which song is based on on a track Eric Carr and Ace Frehley wrote during KISS "The
    Elder" sessions. Less people know that Ace Frehley and Eric Carr demoed a song which
    is also known as "Breakout II". Name the title of that song ?

3) bonus question.
    From the start  of the KISS Related Recordings website may 1997, I received a lot of
    help and response from KRR visitors. At the time I found out that there was a fake Eric
    Carr demo circulating in the (tape-)trading circuit.
    That tape contains the songs "Rock Me Slowly" and "Wet and Wild".
    Actually these songs were taken from the 2nd EP (1980) of an artist who later became
    an American Emmy Award winning singer, songwriter, producer, and guitarist.
    What's the name of this artist/singer/songwriter ?

December 30 : Legendary Rock Interview with Gary Shea (Warrior)
From: legendaryrockinterviews.com
Gary Shea is a knockout bass player and one of the easiest guys on the planet to talk to. He’s probably one of the easiest to work with as well and has had the distinction of working with some of the biggest “big name” musicians on the planet. Some were supremely professional and straightforward, such as Steve Vai and Paul Stanley and others, like Vinnie Vincent and Yngwie J. Malmsteen, are remembered as being supremely talented but difficul;t to work with. Gary Shea has headlined major venues in Alcatrazz and gotten top 40 chart action with his band New England but is a musician’s musician and is more than content to live in Michigan and play music he loves just because he loves it. If you’re up his way go check out one of his gigs and stick around after the show to have a quick chat with Gary. If you like music as much as he does you might be in for a long night and some amazing stories. We talked with Gary for quite a while about his career and probably barely scratched the surface.

Topics includes Paul Stanley and the NEW ENGLAND 1979 album, touring with KISS in 1979; WARRIOR (with Vinnie Vincent), Alcatrazz (Yngwie Malmsteen, Graham Bonnet).
