The Jeremy White Show welcomes back legendary drummer Carmine Appice!
I asked Carmine about #AlexVanHalen putting up his entire warehouse for auction, selling off drums, cymbals, sticks, passes, so much more! Why would he do that? Carmine had some thoughts...

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.

Perfect example of if you give something free to something then it becomes worthless. Like giving free education or paying student loans for free...then education is worthless. If a person doesn't save up and pay for it themselves then they don't give a poop about it. If I were a company that gave him stuff and heard he never even played it....I'd be embarrassed and regret giving it to him.

It's all about 0:08 it's so important to do as you age and not leave all to your children who don't even want their parent's stuff. It’s a huge problem for baby boomers who inherit tons of stuff from their parents and no one wants it. I like that before you pass away to do your best to give possessions away. Auction houses are very difficult but they are online now but treat you like what you have isn't worth anything! 😢 because it's old no nobody wants your stuff. It's awful as there is little appreciation for old stuff! So Carmine is being very authentic about his great collection and honest down to earth reality.

@timebandit0123 Ай бұрын

It’s tough to get Carmine to talk about other drummers regardless of who it is… He considers himself the “godfather of drums”… and rightfully so.. he was really the first rock drummer..

@JeremyWhiteShow Thanks for the clarification! Years ago, I took a marketing class at Cal State Fullerton with their sister. (Needless to say, I didn't learn much in that class because all we did was talk classic rock haha). She pronounced it like Carmine does as well. But I certainly can't blame Vinnie for wanting to blaze his own trail. Great interview, Jeremy. Keep up the great work!

@gregoryvlchek269 Ай бұрын

Carmine is the most self-centered, self-aggrandizing celebrity musician I've ever seen/heard. (Well, except for Gene Simmons. 😁) It's always: "I did this and I did that." It's so annoying! Yes, he is undoubtedly a legend for good reason and definitely made his mark as a drummer and educator in the world of music. BUT, I think his constantly having to point out what he's done (to legitimize himself in his own mind), stems from the fact that he was never able to get over his insecurity and feeling of inferiority by being overshadowed by John Bonham. No matter how he tries to publicly paint his relationship with him in a positive light, I believe that he always did and always will resent John for the HUGE and lasting impact he had and still has on the world of Rock drumming and Rock drummers.

Exactly brother. Carmine is home stroking it right now because people are talking about him. Zero relevance anymore. He was great as Phil Leotardo in the Sopranos though, and how he ate grilled cheese off the radiator to make it. Still not worthy to lick the sweat off of Tommy Aldridge’s nutsack….

I agree with Carmine, Drums are meant to be played not sit in a warehouse. I mean you may have some snare drums or a set you will not part with and leave to your grandchild, but all the equipment to sit in a warehouse? He's correct. I just heard a guy on U-tube say he owns and maintains 85 snare drums! That's complete selfishness.

Not only that, but you have to pay money to store the stuff you aren't using. If you sell, no more storage fee & you get money. Plus, someone is bragging about how they own your stuff (which I'm sure Carmine loves😂). Bottom line, It's better being used or on display than sitting in a hot locker possibly warping.

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.

Let's face it. it may be primarily about money. Alex didn't write any music or lyrics, which means he doesn't get any royalties, or just some. He makes money by playing gigs, and the last gig VH played was in 2015... So for the past 9 years Alex has lived from... Yeah, from what ? Plus he divorced multiple times, which can be quite expensive. And because of your status as a world famous rockdrummer you have a certain lifestyle, which can be money consuming too. So... Selling all that useless equipment is the first step to create some bucks. Not that hard to understand really.
