After Peter left the band, we had to audition a new drummer. Ace and Paul and I were either bored or uninterested until a short, curly haired ball of dynamite walked in. My God! If we don't hire him, I'll leave. He is gorgeous! Big poufy hair, brown eyes to rival Paul's and a HUGE personality.
"Hiya! I'm Gene." I extend my hand and he nearly faints. "I-I-I'm P-P-Paul C-C-Caravello." he stammers out.
"He's actually a Paul too." I laugh, pointing to Ace.. He swallows hard as he takes his seat behind the drums. I can't see him at all. Suddenly this massive sounds erupts from the drumkit. Paul, Ace and I are blown away.
A few days later we hold our first rehearsal with Eric(as he goes by now-Eric Carr to be exact.)Not trying to be disrespectful to Peter, but wow! This tiny ball of dynamite is amazing!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After three months touring with the band again, I start to see signs of Ace being the next one to go. He constantly fight with me over everything. Eric stays neutral and Paul turns all diva on us if anything upsets his routine. He storms out in a huff and comes back all teary-eyed later.
Eric comes to me one day upset when I'm just going over paperwork with our manager. "Gene, I need to talk to you." he whispers. Now usually Eric is outgoing and rather loud so this worries me.
"Give me about two more minutes and I'll be right there." I say.
As soon as the papers are signed, I rush out to find Eric pacing the floor. He looks like he's about to cry.
"Eric, what's wrong?"
"Gene, are you putting me out of the band?"
"What?! No!" I cry. "Where'd you hear that?"
"I was at the corner deli last night getting dinner and I heard Ace and Peter in the corner talking. Luckily I'm so short they didn't see me. I sat down and hid behind my jacket while I ate." Eric went on to tell me what he had overheard. He was so upset that I had to hug him in order to calm him down.
Of course Paul chose that exact moment to walk in and see us. NO! Paul and I ARE NOT together, he's just a jealous diva over everything.
I explain the situation to Paul who promises it won't happen again. Lord help me!
