Eric Carr Story - a very good book. Good truths told.
I heard that USA crowds were chanting Malmsteen’s name - before Alcatrazz concerts.
Imagine that. Everyone knew Malmsteem was unusual. An original.

[rjjrdq]

hey, what's this cord here, I'll just pull it out. I had no idea Yngwie's solo suddenly stopped. I just went to the bus, because apparently Yngwie does his best work at the end of the show when the singer has left. Sure, sounds legit...

[RCstrats]

After when he got choked, , Graham got his hair cut !!

[radishbeet]

That makes sense .... "you cant do that, you cant choke the singer" lol

[johnmcminn]

Oh...oh ...oh kay!
That's not the story i heard !
Yngwie got more attention on stage than Bonnet, he loved the attention .
Some nights Yngwie cut the keyboard solo short by playing over the keys then spotlighting himself .
gram pulled his chord by "accident" once, then when it happened again
Yngwie walked over and punched Bonnet in the nose, and more or less quit. On the plane flight home Yngwie wrote lyrics for " I am a Viking "
I mean yeah sure yngwie told the guys doing sound at la mour in Brooklyn to cut a new door in the side of the building with a chainsaw so he could get his own P A system in, that is what he is like, but Alcatrazz was a little put off by Malmsteen and Yngwie needed to go solo

[rikd]

Sounds shady to me. What are the odds?
I wholeheartedly believe that Bonnet pulled out the cord, on purpose.
Just an opinion.

[stevenvacco]

Yes you can strangle a singer maybe not in that band, but here in Chicago we've done worse and loved it

[zcustomcarnesi]

Yes I'm sure we all watched it and wondered why Eric's introduction was so incredibly short

[imagep]

Yeah, it's his personality. It's why I stopped listening and buying his albums. Regarding Carrie Stevens, yeah I completely believe that. And that's the reason I don't listen to Kiss anymore. There's barely a band left that I can enjoy thanks to all the disgusting behavior.

[banditbernal]

Bonnet is a true master of his craft . he's played with the best the proof is he can jam with any one and stand his ground and make some the best rock around without compromiseing himself.a true icon.

[amerocker]

Nah, you can choke the singer. I've seen Yngwie play in concert and I've no desire to hear Bonnet "sing".

[g_man]

Messed up about how Carrie Stevens was treated for the documentary, but not surprising when Gene and Paul are involved.

[NaRhala]

yngsteen was great back then and for some time later but he kept doing the same exact thing over the years and that is absolutely boring & annoying. To those of you who can listen to that neo classical arpeggio shred for decades and decades - you have very little taste. peace

[mrfixxitt]

I believe Bonnet was doing some type of show tunes before he got with heavy metal and rock bands he was probably jealous and pulled Invaders guitar chords when he was doing the solo Yngwie had every right to smack him around Yngwie is a great guitar player and he's a great composer and that's a fact anybody who has a problem with that they're all just jealous because he's such a great guitarist that's all I got

[joeyvanostrand]

Should have snapped the Swede's fingers.

And I see what's her name is still trying to cash in on Eric Carr's name. The 2 hours worth of interview footage was more than likely not used because she had nothing of any merit to add.
There's a documentary on Amazon called ""the tale of the fox" and it's about Eric. She has a part in that as well but personally, I took nothing away from what she had to add about my Hero who inspired me to become a musician.

She was the girlfriend. Not his personal biographer.
