<P> Fig also played all the drums on the next album, Unmasked, although he was uncredited, and Criss appeared on the cover . Showcasing a slick, contemporary pop sound, Unmasked (released May 20, 1980) had the dubious distinction of being the first Kiss album since Dressed to Kill to not achieve platinum sales . Soon after the album's release, Criss' departure was officially announced . Fig was considered a member of KISS for one day following the departure of Criss; he was fired by Stanley and Simmons, who felt he was not a good fit for the band . </P> <P> The band auditioned dozens of replacements for Criss in June 1980 . One of the many who auditioned was Tico Torres (who would later be with Bon Jovi). They finally settled on a little - known drummer - guitarist - pianist - keyboardist - singer from Brooklyn named Paul Charles Caravello (born July 12, 1950) who adopted the stage name Eric Carr . His first make - up design was modeled on a hawk, though it was rejected as Stanley felt it looked more like a chicken . Carr ultimately settled on a "Fox" persona . In his Fox make - up, he was introduced on ABC's Kids Are People Too!, and debuted with the group on July 25, 1980, at the Palladium concert hall in New York City . This was Kiss's only U.S. show in support of Unmasked . The band's 1980 tour of Australia and New Zealand, on the other hand, was one of the biggest in their history, as they played to sold - out crowds and received overwhelmingly positive press coverage . </P> <P> For their next album, the band worked again with producer Ezrin, with whom Kiss had found success on Destroyer . Early press reports indicated that the new album would be a return to the hard rock style that had originally brought the band success . However, 1981's Music from "The Elder" was a concept album featuring medieval horns, strings, harps, and synthesizers . </P> <P> The album was presented as a soundtrack to a film that was never made, making it difficult to follow the storyline . To make matters worse, having received negative feedback following their record company's preview of the album, Kiss altered the record's track sequence in most countries to emphasize potential singles "The Oath" and "A World Without Heroes", which all but guaranteed the inability of listeners to understand the already muddled storyline . Once released, fan reaction to The Elder was harsh; it failed to achieve gold status and peaked at No. 75 on the Billboard album chart . </P>

Who are the members of kiss and how old are they
