Among the axe men on the album: Robben Ford of L.A. Though he appeared on the album sleeve and in a few promotional obligations, guitarist Peter Criss does not play on Creatures of the Night. It was also another opportunity for some more line-up changes. Before jumping ship for Mercury Records, Creatures was one last stab at hard rock. By that point, founding drummer Peter Criss had left the fold - replaced by heavy hitter Eric Carr - and the death of Casablanca Records founder Neil Bogart led the group to explore other options. A foray into disco ("I Was Made for Loving You") shocked some longtime fans, and a subsequent stab at prog rock with 1981's Music from "The Elder" - a soundtrack to a film project that does not exist - found fans heading for the exits. The release of Creatures marked a significant turning point in the shock-rockers' storied history.
