Jason Green- you are one the best interviewers out there : you have the background knowledge/ u can tell the guests are at ease and you don’t interrupt a good story in progress / looking fwd to more work from you / cheers
Carmine is all business. Also comes from the school of “if you don’t sing your own praises, no one else will”. Dude is a legend and has great history and stories to go along with it. Killer drummer. Good interview!
1st Time I saw Carmine was as part of cactus at a Show that cost under $7 per ticket, there was Cactus, REO Speedwagon, Spirit and Steppenwolf at Tampa's Ft Homer Hesterly Armory where they used to also host Florida Championship Wrestling
Got to meet carmine twice when there wasn't a camera or microphone shoved in his face , he was so down to earth we talked like old paisans from the neighborhood I grew up on 18th Ave back in Brooklyn. Holy Goombaville that area was lol ! thank you Jason for the great interviews and Carmine for the inspiration and being a major influence on my drumming God bless you both .🙏
I saw John Sykes live as a kid with Thin Lizzy - amazing guitarist. My brother (not a major rock fan) went to Florida on holiday and said he heard some amazing live band playing in a club he was casually walking by at night - paid $10/went in - it was BLUE MURDER!!!!!!!
Jason, great interview! Congratulations! I work with Carmine and his brother Vinny on their online talk show Hangin' & Bangin' booking the guests, etc. They are rockstars, legends and two of the most humble and nicest guys I have ever met.
I can’t say that I am a fan of any band Carmine has played with, but he is a drumming legend that I totally respect. I love his playing. Vinnie is one of my all-time favorite players, too. Great interview! Lots of ground covered in a short time for such a long, distinguished career. Thanks to Carmine and Jason for giving so much time to this!
What a great interview, absolute class. In 2016 at the Sweden Rock Fest, I was waiting for Anthrax to come on stage but I said, what the heck, let me check who else is playing and noticed King Kobra was about to start at the same time. As a huge 80s hard rock fan I was super ecstatic to see the legends of the 80s: Paul Shortino from Rough Cutt and Johnny Rod from WASP and of course I knew who Carmine was as I've always associated him with King Kobra. It was such a memorable and nostalgic evening and to this date it brings huge joy to my life. Those guys are truly professional legends.
Carmine LOVES talking about himself but that's good because he shares all the juicy details of his experiences. Yet to be honest regardless of how many legends he's worked with there is only 1 band I want to hear him keep on talking about ..BLUE MURDER
When I first started paying attention to rock music , my first memory of Carmine was as the drummer in the Rod Stewart videos (I discovered his past later). The next time I saw him was in a video was Ozzy's "Bark At The Moon". So I get to thinking, 'wasn't that the same drummer who just a few years earlier was playing 'Do Ya Think I'm Sexy"? Man, he really gets around!' So I developed a fascination with Carmine, and discovering his history, found he was a true "renaissance man" in rock, constantly re-inventing himself and on the ground floor of nearly ever rock trend post-1965. By the way--he would have been PERFECT for KISS! He had the same hair, was from New York, etc, would have gotten along well with Paul and Gene. But I understand--they wanted some new
Carmine was an inspiration when I first came across him in the 80’s with KK (still the coolest band logo ever…but I may be biased), then worked at Hammerjacks and saw him in BM. One of the top most memorable nites while I was there. So glad to see him looking great, and still going. Still have my Carmine & Vinnie Drum Wars keychain. (Edited to add keychain comment)
Great interview as usual man , I really like your sense of humor: Appaice explains the meaning of B.a.d. write on the bass of J. Rod, and you : "..oh and this is before Tinder " . Love ya man! Cheers from Italy.
Great interview Jason.. I don't think anybody could have liked this interview more than Carmine Appice himself .....but when you've been in the business and have a legacy like his ..I can understand... Ps... Very interesting about the bulletboys part... Wonder what they would have to say about it...
Ron Onesti is a great guy! The Arcada Theater is in St.Charles; about 30 miles outside Chicago. Great venue. Old Vaudville theater. Ron's done an amazing job with it and other ventures.
Allllrrriright! ..No doubt a legendary drummer; what concerns me is the size of his ego and how much this may have dissuaded some (major) bands to get him to join. I'm all for self-confidence and even some rock star arrogance but this guy is off the charts. I do however respect his legacy and LOVE the first Blue Murder album. Peace love and light
Doesn’t mention that he did a massive over the top drum fill on that Paul Stanley song and they had to edit it after he left because the rest of the song went off beat.
I can listen to Carmine taking for days. The first Blue Murder is a fucking masterpiece. And Sharon, once a c*nt, always a c*nt. You should get his little bro for an interview !
Clearly, the guys who left to form Bullet Boys should have given Carmine credit for the songs to which he contributed, but you can’t blame them for abandoning King Kobra’s ridiculous look!
It's actually satisfying to see all these rockstars without their "i'm still a young cool rocker"; i.e Vai, Todd Suchermann, Brian May, and now Carmine, among others..he actually looks better this way
No . With some italians and mediterranean it stays there . Maybe sometimes you would have a mature hairline at most but thats it , very minimal. Especially if you have a low type of hairline .
No clue why he thinks Sykes wants him back. Sykes on his own can sell just as many seats as if it was Blue Murder. Then he wants to sell his merch, himself, ect, John hates that part of the business and Carmine is the reason Blue Murder will never rise again, not John.
@@drmmadude Last I heard he is in the same house in Laurel Canyon, and he dropped some music last year, yet this thing called covid cancelled the tour he was going to do.
Lost all respect for this guy half way during the interview. Me, me , me... back it up buddy! talking crap about Tommy Aldridge? really? And btw... drummers do not write songs if you can't come up with either lyrics, chords, melodies. Your generic drum fills do not count Carmine.

Glorious interview. What a career. I'm still spinning King Kobra's Ready to Strike
Same
All these interviews are awesome..But this one is unbelievable..almost 55 years of rock history right here with Carmine
Carmen is so brutally honest, love him so down to earth and cool as hell. Awesome interview
RIVETING! Fantastic stories.Sykes had such an influence on me for playing and singing! Ha loved it , Jason! Thanks for your work.
Thumbs up for everything Carmine and Vinnie do!
1st Time I saw Carmine was as part of cactus at a Show that cost under $7 per ticket, there was Cactus, REO Speedwagon, Spirit and Steppenwolf at Tampa's Ft Homer Hesterly Armory where they used to also host Florida Championship Wrestling
Man another great interview i really enjoy these in depth conversations
Great interview Carmine is one of the greatest Drummer of all times.☮️

I need to see blue murder perform! John Sykes is a legend
I saw John Sykes live as a kid with Thin Lizzy - amazing guitarist. My brother (not a major rock fan) went to Florida on holiday and said he heard some amazing live band playing in a club he was casually walking by at night - paid $10/went in - it was BLUE MURDER!!!!!!!
@@dgs931 that’s insane🤦🏽♂️
I saw Blue Murder. If I remember right they opened for Billy Squier.
BLUE MURDER sounds just as epic 32 years later. Love to see a reunion before it's too late.
Very much looking forward to this one, Jason. Great job on the show!
Thanks Will!
Jason, great interview! Congratulations! I work with Carmine and his brother Vinny on their online talk show Hangin' & Bangin' booking the guests, etc. They are rockstars, legends and two of the most humble and nicest guys I have ever met.
Would’ve loved to have seen Blue Murder back in ‘89. Great to see Carmine looking so well.
I can’t say that I am a fan of any band Carmine has played with, but he is a drumming legend that I totally respect. I love his playing. Vinnie is one of my all-time favorite players, too. Great interview! Lots of ground covered in a short time for such a long, distinguished career. Thanks to Carmine and Jason for giving so much time to this!
There will have to be 2 parts to this. This guy has alot of Stories
It’s an almost 2 hour interview, but he said he would come back
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen this going g to be good 👍 thanks
Nice interview Jason. You do a great job researching your guest and keeping them focused :)
Awesome thanks man
Your question stole the show!
Damn! That could probably be an all day interview. Looking forward to that one!!

agreed, BUT Ozzy too
and Cactus (1970s albums)-

Another awesome interview Jason.
Carmine mentioned the hair - I think his grey looks AWESOME! Fun interview all around.
Carmine= Legend excellent interview Jason

Great interview
Thanks Summer!
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen Always
Dont forget the great Ian Paice and Cozy Powell on Drums
Great interview. Thank you. And Blue Murder's first record was released in 1989.
I love Carmine's new look, so sophisticated, Just needs a cigar in hand :)
Great interview Jason.. I don't think anybody could have liked this interview more than Carmine Appice himself .....but when you've been in the business and have a legacy like his ..I can understand...
Ps... Very interesting about the bulletboys part... Wonder what they would have to say about it...
Great Guy awesome On the Drums
Great stories!
Ron Onesti is a great guy! The Arcada Theater is in St.Charles; about 30 miles outside Chicago. Great venue. Old Vaudville theater. Ron's done an amazing job with it and other ventures.
Very, very cool interview.
Thanks Jason!
Second time watching... Such a legend and it's hilarious how much he loves himself 🤣🤣😅🤣
I would have loved to see him tour with Michael Schenker Group. I actually missed that tour for some reason, but I have seen him With Ozzy
Awesome drummer.
Blue Murder is the greatest stand alone album ever.
Awesome!
Allllrrriright! ..No doubt a legendary drummer; what concerns me is the size of his ego and how much this may have dissuaded some (major) bands to get him to join. I'm all for self-confidence and even some rock star arrogance but this guy is off the charts. I do however respect his legacy and LOVE the first Blue Murder album. Peace love and light
Hahaha! Love the story about his moms lasagna pan.We need to know if she ever got it back
Damn Carmine is the man' !!!
NEW SUBSCRIBER !
Thanks James, welcome aboard!
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen thanks bud .. what an Amazing guy and career Carmine Appice !
Very enjoyable 🙂 Great job Jason.
Doesn’t mention that he did a massive over the top drum fill on that Paul Stanley song and they had to edit it after he left because the rest of the song went off beat.
What?
Anybody start the "you know" count??
👊
Loved King Kobra!
CARMINE AND VINNY MAKE ME PROUD TO BE FROM THE MASTER RACE HEHE.
I can listen to Carmine taking for days. The first Blue Murder is a fucking masterpiece. And Sharon, once a c*nt, always a c*nt. You should get his little bro for an interview !
The name of his next album should be ‘Pending Lawsuit’
Clearly, the guys who left to form Bullet Boys should have given Carmine credit for the songs to which he contributed, but you can’t blame them for abandoning King Kobra’s ridiculous look!
Carmine looks 1000% better with his hair like that.
BTW is he drinking a White Claw?
JASON YOU NEED TO TALK TO JOHN SYKES
You won't find a single rock drummer who hasn't been influenced by Carmine. Another great interview. Any chance of an interview with Tony Franklin?
It's actually satisfying to see all these rockstars without their "i'm still a young cool rocker"; i.e Vai, Todd Suchermann, Brian May, and now Carmine, among others..he actually looks better this way
Vinnie interview?
Great drummer but for heavy metal drumming Vinnie is just another level
No mention of his Carmine's work with Rod Stewart? He co-penned "Young Turks" and "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?"
We clearly discussed it in the video, you must have drifted off
@@WasteSomeTimewithJasonGreen Perhaps that is what had happened. I'll watch again. Thank you.
MidOhioBuckeyeAORWarrior they covered it in detail
@@releshred1272 Jason is right. I must have drifted off or was distracted. I got busy is what really happened. Life goes on.
And I honestly thought Carmine had been wearing a black wig for the past 30 years or so.
No .
With some italians and mediterranean it stays there .
Maybe sometimes you would have a mature hairline at most but thats it , very minimal.
Especially if you have a low type of hairline .
Carmine needs to dye his hair again! He's looking like Einstein/Groucho Marx!!
My kid is learning from Carmine's book right now. Better she learn from that than this old guitarist.
No clue why he thinks Sykes wants him back. Sykes on his own can sell just as many seats as if it was Blue Murder. Then he wants to sell his merch, himself, ect, John hates that part of the business and Carmine is the reason Blue Murder will never rise again, not John.
Absurd.
@@thefonzkiss That is a bad song, next.
Then where is Sykes.
@@drmmadude Last I heard he is in the same house in Laurel Canyon, and he dropped some music last year, yet this thing called covid cancelled the tour he was going to do.
Blue Murder name is just not all Sykes
Lost all respect for this guy half way during the interview. Me, me , me... back it up buddy! talking crap about Tommy Aldridge? really? And btw... drummers do not write songs if you can't come up with either lyrics, chords, melodies. Your generic drum fills do not count Carmine.
