Metal Shock Finland (World Assault )

Jimmy Kay from Canada’s The Metal Voice spoke to legendary drummer Carmine Appice (Vanilla Fudge, Ozzy Osbourne, Cactus, King Kobra) as well as the young band under his wing Kodiak at The Metal Hall of Fame on January 15 2020 at the Marriot Delta in Anaheim California.

Watch the interview here:

Carmine Appice was asked about the recent passing of Neil Peart of Rush, ”Neil was an inspirational part of the drumming community. He came after I did by maybe 10 years. I watched him grow and he became a huge influence on young drummers. For me I loved that track Tom Sawyer, he does a tremendous job on that doing a 7/8 timing.“ Appice continued, ”Neil was the nicest guy, I met him a few times, we hung out a few times, he was always really nice.”
