    People get mad when he talks about him influencing John Bonham. The truth is the triplet lick in good times bad times John told Carmine that lick he was inspired by something he heard Carmine play. He also got John his first ludwig deal. I've seen Carmine play many times and he plays a lot like John or the other way around either way, who cares!! 😅😅😅😂😂😂

    Mine favourite: Beck, Bogert, Appice 🖤

    Absolutely one of the first great heavy drummers. Moon, Baker and Bonham get mentioned a lot. Carmine is right there in that mix. The first four albums mentioned were not surprises, nice to see Blue Murder included. Fortunate to see and hear Carmine live with Cactus, BBA and Sir Rod. Excellent rock drumming that had some swing when called for. imoho

    Get his book! It's the most craziest book I've ever read. Carmine sure knew how to have a great time. He even tells the entire story behind the infamous Led Zeppelin fish incident. Please ask him about the new material he did with James LaBrie from Dream Theater. And say hi for me (Tom from the Arcada Theater).
  • @georgebirch5635
    Saw Camine twice with Jeff Beck (BBA), Great drummer! Love these interviews/videos, really takes me back.

    Iron Butterfly & Vanilla Fudge, are 2 band's who are more than worthy of a reappraisal! The former in particular were brilliant exponents of the 'elongated' rock piece! And there was more than a 'passing nod' from some of the giants who were to follow in the next decade!! This was an excellent interview with someone whose musical choices are 'exemplary'!! Huge respect!!😊😊

    I saw Cactus from the front row in The Fillmore East . A friend had to work so I sold the front row seat in front of the place . Great Show !

    A good friend of mine got to meet Carmine when he was playing with Ozzy, and he was a total class act. I got to meet him when he was playing with Blue Murder.

    Blondes Have More Fun was a good one. Great playing on that one.
  • @robsco1249
    My favourite are Jon Lord/Tony Ashton live album and obviously the Tommy Bolin record he guested on.
  • @igormadeyski2946
    "Footloose and fancy free" is definitely Rod Stewart's best album belonging to the "american period": solid craftmanship, excellent playing, absolutely top-notch 🙌✨

    Jeff Beck played on a Stanley Clarke record in 1978 "Modern Man" - one track had Beck & Carmine on it - an instrumental called .. "Rock 'n Roll Jelly" - all 3 of them are brilliant on it - but even great instrumentals so rarely got radio play - they always wanted vocals on the track ..
