Besides drumming, Carr also played guitar, bass guitar and piano and sang background vocals. Occasionally he sang lead vocals, such as on "Black Diamond" and "Young and Wasted" live with Kiss. His first lead vocal in the studio was a re-recording of "Beth" (a song originally sung by Peter Criss) for the 1988 compilation album "Smashes, Thrashes & Hits". Carr recorded his version of the song in the same room in the Record Plant where the song was originally recorded, using the same backing track as Criss.
