Carmine Appice

For our fortieth episode, we go back four years to a 2013 interview with classic rock drummer Carmine Appice. 

Carmine, along with his brother Vinnie, are two of the strongest drummers in rock music. His long history has taken him through Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Beck, Bogert & Appice, KGB and other groups along with playing in the recording and touring bands of such artists as Rod Stewart and Ozzy Osbourne. 

When we talked with Carmine, he had just started Rocker Records and was in the midst of putting together a tour by The Rod Stewart Experience with other musicians who had played with Rod over the years. 

Appice recently released his memoir, Stick It!: My Life of Sex, Drums and Rock 'n' Roll.
