Carmine: Tonight's about me, not your fuckin auction, Al.

[@MayberryMafioso]

Carmine: "I showed Eddie how to tap and then he wrote Eruption"

[@ronthompson95]

Carmine: “drums were meant to be played. No one plays them as good as I do but nonetheless they are meant to be played…”

[@TC-Guitar]

According to legend: Bigfoot claimed that he saw Carmine once, and nobody believed him 😎

Welcome to the all new Carmine Appice show, hosted by me, Carmine Appice. Where we talk all things carmine. My first guest is….ME! Carmine, have you heard about the auction Alex Van Halen is having for all of his gear? Well I’m glad you asked. I’ll tell you, if it wasn’t for me and vanilla fudge, or to be more exact ME, John Bonham never would have become famous and Led Zeppelin would have been a bar band in England. I invented double bass and many people don’t know this, but I invented drums too. That’s right. Ludwig asks me for my approval before they have any drums leave the assembly line.

Carmine loves talking about Carmine. Interviewer…”Alex Van Halen is selling off all his gear.” Carmine…”Let me tell you all about me”

My comment i wanted to keep an ESP. Not my style Self Discovery. Im a Strat guy. Love LP but Not realistic

[@timsears951]

ok Carmine I thought we were talking about Alex

[@typeorulz]

It becomes more understandable when you're an older person. Not trying to be a jerk, that's just how it is.

[@user-fq7co7mr1y]

Drums of any size are precision instruments made to be played. Not stored. Totally agreed.

[@josephpullen1153]

I met Carmine after he came here to Western NY to hold a drum competition which I came in 1st place on. He sat on the panel as the only judge. After winning, I hung out with him backstage, talked with him a little bit, and took some pics with him. He’s a cool dude, very down to earth.

[@Petequinn741]

He won't specifically talk about Alex...Carmine is a trip

[@morsecode2112]

These comments need to quit baggin' a Carmine. I grew up learning from that guy. As did every other kid working through he Realistic Rock book back in the day. At least he talks. If you wanna know about "why" Alex is doing it, go interview Alex. I bet you can't.

“Well the interesting thing about it is, I was actually the first drummer to have an auction…”

[@eduardomartinez1506]

Does anyone know if Gene Simmons and Carmine are related?

[@DIYTechnician]

Met Carmine at a drum clinic over thirty years ago at a drum clinic as a kid. He was a giant and was no freakin cool. Got his autograph on the back of a a peavey sticker. Great memory. Put on a great clinic as well.

[@Im_T.O.]

Don’t tell me, Carmine was the first drummer to auction drums.

[@Twotontessie]

Carmine what did you have for lunch today ? “I was John Bonham’s biggest influence… I got him the oversized drum set …”

[@ronthompson95]

He mentions how many drum magazines he was on. Lol

[@eduardomartinez1506]

“I have leopard bikinis in LA, what am I going to do with them? “I can't get it up anymore”
