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.
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.
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.
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.
Johnny said I’m the American Led Zeppelin. I used to fish with Avedis. And Ludwig stole all my ideas, not the drum co. Von Beethoven, guy copied my groove and put a few notes it.
“I taught Jesus to moonwalk on water because he couldn’t swim” “Moses, yeah we jammed together for Pharaoh. He asked me advice about ten things people shouldn’t do.”
Reverend Al isn't stupid..us drummers usually aquire mass amounts of gear and it takes up space! If you know you don't need half of it anymore and you're in your in yer 60s why not let it go while everyone still remembers and loves you! I'm still a big Pa I S t e 2002 cymbals fan because of Alex!
Ummmm you mean the leather suit look from the Village People? I heard he still gets royalties from them for use of his ball tickler mustache. It’s from covering himself in lotion and stroking his ego….
Bill Bruford sold his stuff last year as well. Clapton, Gilmour & Alex Lifeson recently sold large amounts of their collections. this isn't new. And if Alex decides one day to play again, I am sure he'll be able to raise enough capital to purchase a new set.
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..
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.
I've been a drummer since the '70s... I got to say I never really got Carmine's technical skills. Sure, he was there during a lot of pivotal and historical rock and roll moments. but I always thought his brother Vinny was a much tastier drummer.
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’ve always wanted a 26” kick. I just love that Bonham sound. But have always wondered why no one has made a pedal that’s designed to hit centre of a 26” It would only require slightly longer side posts, but no one’s done it.
Let’s all face it, Carmines look in the Village People is iconic and he still gets royalties and licensing for use of the mustache. Him and Gene Simmons are the number one cause of global warming from so much hot air.
Who clicked on this to hear about Alex but knew they would hear more about Carmine? And was he talking about mic stands? I thought I heard something about mic stands but I must have dozed off.
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.
I got some stuff signed by Carmine. How I wanted a drum head signed by Alex Van Halen. Priced out though. I'll carry one in my truck.....maybe I'll run into him one day...lol.
Alex should put the first six kits for the first 6 masterpiece in a museum, Throw out everything after because nothing with Spammy mattered. VH 2007 & 2012 with Diamond Dave in museums too kids!!
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.
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.
@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!
No matter what. It doesn't matter what we think or want Alex to do. His life. His way. I only hope he stays motivated to stay alive. But why did he reach out to Jason? Doesn't matter. Good luck sir. Learn to treat people right while your alive.
Look... I got soccer trophies from when I played as a youngsta, ya.. I got em stacked in a storage unit up in Detroit. What am I gonna do with it? You tell me.
You can't take any of it with you. Eventually, you have to let go... and if Alex ever wants to play again, he will get a new kit like he did for every tour. So... sell it.
Carmine showed Gene Simmons how to open a bank account, designed AVH's drums, and has been in more failed projects than a 3 legged racehorse and taught Pavarotti how to sing. Love the relentless bs from Carmine.
What do you think of Alex? “Alex watched me kill it at Madison Square Garden in 64”, before that I told Avedis, make the cymbals round like a pizza pie. Then one time I punched Vinnie in the gut, didn’t even hurt him, so I told John, tighten up your batter head if you are gonna hit it hard.
Alex is selling his cause he is finished playing. Carmine is selling his to pay for the new Vanilla Kobra project he is working on that will rule the charts.
@@hotlanta35 He wishes. He has atually claimed he was up for the job at one point and Coverdale has laughed it off. He is always trying to bring back one of his shit bands in one form or the other, just a joke on two of them Vanilla Fudge and King Kobra.
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.
The problem with these ridiculous fan based interviews on UTUBE is just that, Nothing digging in, just pure fan interviews. Nobody beats TRUNK BaBY !! PS: This channel popped up and last time I will return.. Boring interviewer !!🥱🥱
Carmine: Tonight's about me, not your fuckin auction, Al.
😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 holy shit, comment of the year!
Lol
The Title was incorrectly listed. Alex was an anecdote as Carmine was saying he's cleaning out his Left Coast storage.
Carmine was out there doing his thing, his bippity boppity.
No judgement, no judgement
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.
I played on his white kit when he came to my high school back in the 80s.
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.
Carmine is LEGEND
Facts!
In his own mind
He’s definitely a legend, just ask him, he’ll tell you all about it. Rumor has it he actually invented the word “legend”.
But is an asshole so nobody cares….
He won't specifically talk about Alex...Carmine is a trip
Because it ain’t about him….
He did say Alex is much richer than he is.
Carmine loves talking about Carmine. Interviewer…”Alex Van Halen is selling off all his gear.” Carmine…”Let me tell you all about me”
😂😂😂
Nothing about talking about Self !!😎
Alex Van Halen not worth 2 cents to talk about
“Well the interesting thing about it is, I was actually the first drummer to have an auction…”
Omg, anything about Alex interests me. The auction breaks my heart and warms it as well. I’m so torn
Well then this wont be a good video for you then. Its all about Carmine.
@@jacklifeson😝
It's over...
We love you Carmine so happy that you live in Florida so do I
Carmine: “drums were meant to be played. No one plays them as good as I do but nonetheless they are meant to be played…”
“I have leopard bikinis in LA, what am I going to do with them? “I can't get it up anymore”
Don’t sell them!!! They have this blue pill…

Don’t tell me, Carmine was the first drummer to auction drums.
😂😂😂
Nope. But he was the 1st to hijack a sale interview.
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.
ok Carmine I thought we were talking about Alex
Jeremy, awesome week filling in for Oakley on 640 TO!
Thanks man!! Write to them and tell them that so they bring me back haha
According to legend: Bigfoot claimed that he saw Carmine once, and nobody believed him 😎
Does anyone know if Gene Simmons and Carmine are related?
The "wadami gonna do with it?" interview hahahaa
Carmine what did you have for lunch today ? “I was John Bonham’s biggest influence… I got him the oversized drum set …”
Johnny said I’m the American Led Zeppelin. I used to fish with Avedis. And Ludwig stole all my ideas, not the drum co. Von Beethoven, guy copied my groove and put a few notes it.
“I taught Jesus to moonwalk on water because he couldn’t swim”

Please GOD may i look as good as Carmine at 77, 47 years from now.
I'm 55 and I don't look as good...LOL
He does look very good for his age.
Ummmm you mean the leather suit look from the Village People? I heard he still gets royalties from them for use of his ball tickler mustache. It’s from covering himself in lotion and stroking his ego….
He mentions how many drum magazines he was on. Lol
Cringe AF!!🙈
Flexing his 80's glory
@@24theMoney 70's glory, my friend, 70's glory.
Drums of any size are precision instruments made to be played. Not stored. Totally agreed.
Bill Bruford sold his stuff last year as well. Clapton, Gilmour & Alex Lifeson recently sold large amounts of their collections. this isn't new. And if Alex decides one day to play again, I am sure he'll be able to raise enough capital to purchase a new set.
I doubt AVH has to pay for anything drum related. His people just call up Ludwig/Paiste. AVH has made them a fortune with his endorsement.
Carmine: "I showed Eddie how to tap and then he wrote Eruption"
And right before that, he counseled God on how to create dirt. 😂
LOL! Is this guy F'ing for real?????
LOL.
"I wuz a pie-ah-NEAH!"
No you didn't
NOT TRUE
Legend has it that Alex Van Halen auctioned off all of his Drums and equipment….Still waiting to hear about AVH 😴
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..
Carmine is a legend, just ask him. He will tell ya!
I thought this was about Alex
But…he is, though.
Carmine played drums on Rod Stewart's "Every Picture Tells a Story!"
Didnt know that! Always thought it was Kenny Jones.
It becomes more understandable when you're an older person. Not trying to be a jerk, that's just how it is.
Yeah!!.all these drummers are old as dirt!. Alex is not playing without his bro!!! Love that!!!
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!

I just got FOUR 26” kicks for my new kit… lol I’ll post a video when my renovations are done!
Let’s all face it, Carmines look in the Village People is iconic and he still gets royalties and licensing for use of the mustache. Him and Gene Simmons are the number one cause of global warming from so much hot air.
So, what about Alex’s drum auction? I blame the host of this show,not reeling in Carmine to get back on track.
He tried a couple of times but Carmine wasn't having it😂
Carmine is mob connected. Lol
@@t.sewell1513Carmine was great in the sopranos, he ate grilled cheese off the radiator to make it, and taught Bonham a couple three things.
He doesn’t know why Alex did what he did. No one does. We can all speculate, but Carmine said nah, I’m doing that.
I respect that.
Ok well thank you for your response on alex van halen.
Carmine: “I taught John Bonham how to grow a mustache“.
“Then the Village People stole the look and now I get royalties….”
Who clicked on this to hear about Alex but knew they would hear more about Carmine? And was he talking about mic stands? I thought I heard something about mic stands but I must have dozed off.
Carmine wanted more mic stands so we got his every word.
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.
So,what about Alex?
That last name is in my family, it's not A-peace, in Italy it's pronounced A-Peach-A, in the U.S. it A-pah-Cee.
Thought we were supposed to be talking about Alex Van Halen
In truthful Carmine as a drummer is as important as John Bonham. Greetings!
I got some stuff signed by Carmine.
How I wanted a drum head signed by Alex Van Halen.
Priced out though. I'll carry one in my truck.....maybe I'll run into him one day...lol.
Alex should put the first six kits for the first 6 masterpiece in a museum, Throw out everything after because nothing with Spammy mattered. VH 2007 & 2012 with Diamond Dave in museums too kids!!

Get Al on your show you'll be famous
ALEX VAN HALEN IS EN BLIJFT DE BESTE HOLLAND LOVE THE VAN HALEN'S
Jeremy calls him "Carmine uh-PIECE" but Ronnie James Dio used to refer to his brother as "Vinnie AP - pi - see." So, which is correct?
They both say their last names differently… I say it the way Carmine told me to say it.

Carmine will never be Alex Van Halen. Alex is the 👌 best.
The interviewer should've brought the subject back around to AVH selling his stuff.
@@christopherwashington7668 yeah he should’ve, he sucks!
So Carmine is responsible for Power Tom’s????
Nice!
Was thinking there may have been a little insight on Alex Van Halen, guess not
Carmine: “Jesus couldn’t swim so I taught him to walk on water”. “I suckled Bonham and taught him to play after teaching MJ to moonwalk”
No matter what. It doesn't matter what we think or want Alex to do. His life. His way. I only hope he stays motivated to stay alive. But why did he reach out to Jason? Doesn't matter. Good luck sir. Learn to treat people right while your alive.

12x8 = 88 apparently
He was great as Phil Leotardo in the Sopranos…. He ate grilled cheese off the radiator to make it.
You can't take any of it with you. Eventually, you have to let go... and if Alex ever wants to play again, he will get a new kit like he did for every tour. So... sell it.
Sell now because...its worth more now while there's still VH interest..not 10 years from now...take the $$
You know how many bass drums I have? WTF!!!🤡
Carmine thinks AVH should change John Bonham as his main influence to him because he taught JB how to play drums.
Carmine showed Gene Simmons how to open a bank account, designed AVH's drums, and has been in more failed projects than a 3 legged racehorse and taught Pavarotti how to sing. Love the relentless bs from Carmine.
96 Carmine.
Alex don't want to play anymore
Any drummers in the c comment thread
My comment i wanted to keep an ESP. Not my style Self Discovery. Im a Strat guy. Love LP but Not realistic
Carmine appaice is a drum master the best
after reading these comments, which I figured would be the case considering it's Carmine, I stopped watching at 1:38
Enough of this clown unless he talks about Alex VH kids!
What do you think of Alex? “Alex watched me kill it at Madison Square Garden in 64”, before that I told Avedis, make the cymbals round like a pizza pie. Then one time I punched Vinnie in the gut, didn’t even hurt him, so I told John, tighten up your batter head if you are gonna hit it hard.
Blah blah enough already!
Carmine’s okay. But he ain’t no Vinny! 😎
And he's no Alex.
Everyone sells off things as they get older. Pass the $$ on to family or friends
Alex is selling his cause he is finished playing. Carmine is selling his to pay for the new Vanilla Kobra project he is working on that will rule the charts.
White Snake?
@@hotlanta35 He wishes. He has atually claimed he was up for the job at one point and Coverdale has laughed it off. He is always trying to bring back one of his shit bands in one form or the other, just a joke on two of them Vanilla Fudge and King Kobra.
Ugh….Can’t stand Carmine.
Wtf thought this was about Alex bye bye
May Alex had a tax issue that he needed to settle. Happens a lot to people in the entertainment industry.
Carmine is a trip!!! Vinny much better!
Alex has no interest in playing any music with out his brother.
Nothing sadder than an old who’ore…..
Why. Money
Unless professional couple guitars PLENTY
Hey what ya gonna do forget about it
..what am i going to do with it?
Bonzo bash was a joke!
Legend in his own mind - he’s pretty irrelevant compared to AVH!
I don’t agree.
uh yeah.....zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
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 ?

He gets royalties, you really think Ed an dave get money
All the songwriting was split equally in VH from day 1.
The dudes worth like 85 mil so cash on hand 30 mil he dont need money he,s just done eds gone so why continue he did it all
Carmine overrated af.
this is true.
Guitarist should have No more than 3 Guitars REASON give us a break
Carmen on Garmin Alex, who what give me a fucking break?
