'CARMINE APPICE'S GUITAR ZEUS'
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
As drummer for Vanilla
Fudge, Carmine Appice set the grooves for the groundbreaking band's 1967
psychedelic debut, inadvertently inventing Stoner Rock in the process. The
Fudge had no precedent. The band was totally unique. No rock group, up until
that point, had ever s-t-r-e-t-c-h-e-d out well-known pop tunes. Vanilla Fudge
went on to tour with Jimi Hendrix, Cream, and even had Led Zeppelin as an
opening act.
Post-Fudge, Bogert and
Appice formed Cactus (seen as an influence on Van Halen & King's X).
Post-Cactus, the rhythm section found Grammy-winning Guitar Hero Jeff Beck to
form the first supergroup: Beck, Bogert & Appice.
One of the premier
showmen in rock, Appice became known worldwide for his astonishing live
performances and a highly sought-after session drummer, recording with
countless artists throughout his career. In 1976, he joined Rod Stewart’s band,
touring, recording and writing two of Stewart’s biggest hits, "Do Ya Think
I'm Sexy" and "Young Turks.” He left Stewart to record his first solo
album, Rockers, and tour Japan and North America with an all-star band. In
1978, Appice played drums on Paul Stanley’s first solo album.
In the early 1980s, he
toured with Ozzy Osborne, Ted Nugent. In the mid '80s, he formed King Kobra for
two Capitol albums and international touring. In the late ‘80s, Carmine played
on Pink Floyd’s "Momentary Lapse of Reason and formed Blue Murder with
Whitesnake's John Sykes and The Firm's Tony Franklin. In the early '90s, he
pounded away soul-style for The Edgar Winter Group.
As an educator, Carmine
was the first to legitimize rock drumming with his landmark book, The Realistic
Rock Drum Method, selling over 400,000 copies (now in dvd and
ebook format). He was the first Rock Drummer and Rock Musician to conduct
instructional clinics and symposiums around the world, a tradition he
continues. In appreciation for his universal appeal, Los Angeles was one of
four cities that have had "Carmine Appice Day.” In 1991, he was
forever immortalized via his induction in cement to the Hollywood's Rock Walk
(next to his idols, Gene Krupa and Buddy Rich).
In 2016 Carmine wrote an
autobiography titled “Stick It” which appeared on Amazon’s “Best Sellers” list.
As a true artist, Carmine
stretches the limits of his talents, always pursuing new experiences with a
broad spectrum of musicians. His high standards have earned him the respect of
the world's most admired performers as well as captivating the loyalty of
legions of fans. He has reshaped the path of music education, redesigned the
very instrument he plays, and recreates excitement with every performance.
Carmine Appice is, truly,
A Different Drummer!

My Life of Sex, Drums,

He ran with teenage gangs in Brooklyn before
becoming a global rock star in the Summer of Love. He was managed by the mob,
hung with Hendrix, trashed thousands of hotel rooms,
unwittingly paid for an unknown Led Zeppelin to support him on tour, taught
John Bonham (as well as Fred Astaire) a thing or two about drumming, and took
part in Zeppelin’s infamous deflowering of a groupie with a mud shark. After
enrolling in Rod Stewart’s Sex Police, he hung out with Kojak, accidentally
shared a house with Prince, became blood brothers with Ozzy Osbourne, and got
fired by Sharon. He formed an all-blond hair metal band, jammed with John
McEnroe and Steven Seagal, became a megastar in Japan, got married five times,
slept with 4,500 groupies—and, along the way, became a rock legend by
single-handedly reinventing hard rock and heavy metal drumming.

Cowritten with Ian Gittins, the coauthor with Nikki Sixx of the New York Times bestseller The Heroin Diaries, Stick It! is one of the most extraordinary and outrageous rock-and-roll biographies of our time.
