Kiss Carr Jam 1981

A great instrumental that shows the talent Carr had.

Queen - Innuendo (Official Video)

One of my favorite Queen songs as it's from Innuendo.

Sadly today is a sad milestone in music history as it's the 25th anniversary of the passing of Freddie Mercury and KISS' second drummer Eric Carr. Mercury passed due to bronchopneumonia as a result from AIDS. As is well documented, Mercury only confirmed he had AIDS a day earlier almost like it was the last thing he needed to do in terms of getting his affairs in order. Of course, his illness was a badly kept secret since it was obvious especially by 1990/1991 he was sick and that fact Queen suspiciously didn't tour after 1986 despite continuing to release albums. Mercury was only 45. Carr passed due to heart cancer which he got diagnosed with in February 1991 and fought it all year including open heart surgery and chemo which seemed to work but then suffered an aneurysm only two days after his last public appearance at the 1991 MTV Video Music Awards that September. Sadly, Carr then suffered a brain hemorrhage and never regained consciousness. Carr was probably KISS' best drummer as he seemed to fit in more than original drummer Peter Criss and brought a harder style to the band which gave them heavier sound which Gene Simmons said. Carr was 41 and was the first KISS alumni to pass away (the only other to date is third guitarist Mark St. John in 2007).

Black Mist - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

The Dark World - The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past

Zelda: A Link to the Past - TV Commercial 1

Happy 25th Anniversary to The Legend of Zelda: A Link To The Past which was first released in Japan on this day. What can I say that hasn't been said? One of the greatest games of all time and true masterpiece. I think I speak for most of the video game community when I say that if anybody considers themselves a video game fan, they have to play this game at least once in their lives. A true video game treasure.

Top Ten Characters In Resident Evil That Need To Return

Top Ten Characters In Resident Evil That Should Return
November 19, 2016

This year marked the 20th anniversary of the Resident Evil video game series. In that time, we've seen many great and iconic characters from top protagonists Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Leon Kennedy, and Claire Redfield to former top antagonist Albert Wesker to recurring character Ada Wong. However, the series has featured many other characters who have largely been one and done despite surviving their games. What happened to them? There's been a lot of interesting characters and here are ten characters that should return in future Resident Evil games. Keep in mind, Most of the characters I'll be mentioning with one exception will be characters who's games take place at least ten years ago so no RE5, Revelations 2, and Resident Evil 6 characters since those games take place between 2009-2013 and are recent.
