Drum Wars

Carmine & Vinny Appice were classic professionals, jokesters, and flat out kicked ass at BB Kings. It was an absolute awesome show from start to finish. Amoung the hightlights was Vinny & band playing Dio's Holy Diver, and Rock Now. Carmine playing a really cool nearly 7 minute extended version of Ozzy's Crazy Train. They also played Ozzy Bark at the Moon, and Black Sabbath Paranoid. Just an awesome show, thanks guys. Jeff

I've followed Carmine career since the 60's so I may be a bit prejudiced but what an amazing night. You can tell how much the brothers enjoy doing this by their actions and comments thruout the evening. They played a good variety of music from bands they had been involved with, a lot of Dio and a lot of Ozzy. The band they brought on stage to help them out, oh Sweet Jesus, Phe-nom-in-al!!! The singer Jason was the splittin image of a young Johnny Depp but with Slashs' hair and his voice, well he sounded better than Ozzy did back in the early 70's. All in all it was an exilerating night. My only complaint, show started a little after 8 and we were back on 42nd St a mere 2 hours later. I easily could have listened for another 2 hours~!
