Carmine Appice

This week’s 20 Questions are with Carmine Appice.  Stuart Smith hooked us up with Carmine, because like Stuart, Carmine has been around forever!  Carmine has drummed for Stuart as well as pretty much half the music industry.  He’s was in Vanilla Fudge and has worked with Jeff Beck, Rod Stewart, Ted Nugent, Ozzy Osbourne, Cher and his biggest accomplishment was that he was the drummer in King Kobra!!  Who needs to write with Rod Stewart when you can play the drums behind 3 guys with spandex and blond hair?  So here our 20 Questions with Carmine Appice.
