Kiss officially hired Singer to replace Carr. However, Carr's health continued to decline-and he died in November 1991. Kiss's original plan was for Singer to play drums with the band until Carr was healthy enough to return. After the shoot, Paul and Gene persuaded Carr to take care of his health and not worry about the band.

But people, we have been given a gift, we have been given a road. According to Simmons, Carr had lost all his hair due to chemotherapy and had to wear a wig for the shoot. Aquell 24 de novembre de 1991 la desaparició del líder de Queen a causa de la SIDA va eclipsar la notícia de la mort de Carr, però la lletra de God Gave Rock and Roll to You, com si es tractés del seu epitafi sempre el recordarà: I know life sometimes can get tough and I know life sometimes can be a drag. 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. Many early stars had religious upbringings, inspiring their personas, music and fears of eternal damnation. The primary premise of the song is about how the higher power (which is technological and has existsd since deep antiquity) is inside of each of us in a way. It was later included on Kiss' 1992 album Revenge. Fiery, energetic and preached by charismatic frontmen, Pentecostal Christianity had a big influence on rock and roll in its formative years.
