Carmine Appice - "Black Dog" - Bonzo's Birthday Bash 2012' 5-31-12'

[@leeaxemanmiller4661]

The band were like " What the fuck is he doing?" at the beginning with that shitter of a solo. Then he goes on to decimate the whole song, and the band has to constantly time shift. The problem with Carmine is, he listens to himself and is so consumed with how HE comes across that he forgets about the band. As far as he is concerned the band can take a hyke. He was so lucky to even be selected for Blue Murder.

John Paul Jones, arguably the most underrated musician of all time was instrumental (excuse the pun) in creating the riff and therefore it’s original time signature. It isn’t a standard 4/4 “beat” although it *sounds* like it... This version is an orgy of egos and it shows how brilliant LZ were.

[@sickofthebulldodo1461]

He didn't serve the song by dropping into the pocket and groove that is Black Dog. He was more about the one lick he kept doing and looking around seeing the reactions people had as he did it. Bonham would make eye contact because of a mutual feel moment. And yes, Carmine rushed it hard. I can see where as drummers get older and maybe insecure because they're question of relevance they may over do it but whatever. He's done his thing. pretty honarable just to be asked to do such an event. I saw him at a clinic at music land in Bel Air MD in like mid-late 80's, it was cool, but I was turned off when he ragged on Vinnie his brother who I feel has a much more original identifiable style. Fuck it, so many drummers are dicks and have little good to say about other drummers. I think one is born to be a true natural feel player that can move or make another person move to a beat or feel.

[@wrongwaypete]

After Bonzo died and the rumors swirled about that Carmine Appice might take his spot, the standard surface explanation for his not being given the chair was never a knock on Carmine but that the rest of the band were too great of friends with Bonzo to ever replace him. No doubt that is true, but I'd always also thought that Appice's PERSONALITY would not have fit in with the group. Now, watching this, I wonder if the lads also realized that Appice's (lack of ) MUSICALITY would not have fit, either.

[@allrequiredfields]

he's struggling because he doesn't understand the simplicity of that groove is what makes the beat so special. The guitar is all over the place, and Bonham would usually just followed Page, but moments like this tune and Kashmir were brilliant because the drumming counterpoints with those complicated guitar parts or parts that were in another time signature, on top of having huge, resonant drum sounds REALLY make them stand out in an otherworldly way.

Its a great song to learn how to play drums to. Carmine simply felt the breaks wrong and instead of just playing simple he tried to rescue it by overplaying and that made it worse. :)

The first time I watched this I was floored at how bad Carmine played. I actually ended up watching it about ten times because I was so intrigued by how this happened. This is my take on it. Carmine came out and immediately tried to establish his dominance and control, started showing off and even gave a couple false starts with his sticks. I see what he tried to do with the song, to make it his own interpretation. But he failed to pull it off and completely ruined the song. That's called being a selfish musician, which Bonham certainly was not!I like how the bass player started hitting bad chords, at 3:27 and again at 5:23 the guitarist did one too at 3:34 intentionally I believe just to get in the spirit of the song being already ruined.

Pick This. Thanks for having me on that.. I'm not usually one to bad mouth other drummers, but this is just awful...lol His playing is like a beginner who learned Led Zeppelin, but doesn't actually have the physical capabilities to replicate it. And another sad thing is that Black Dog is one of Zeppelin's simplest tunes...transition wise that is. It's literally just "Verse, jam, verse, jam, verse, jam...jam...verse etc."....and he still couldn't get it down.

agree

[@dontdrinkthekoolaid.]

I'm a 30+ years drummer. I give him 10 for twelling his sticks lol. Seemed more like a jam night with drummers who don't know 90% of the songs played lol

[@mtario16]

@ Alex Bond. You are absolutely right, I agree on everything you wrote. "Punchs" are at the wrong places. Appice's playing is pathetic. Looks like a beginner. He doesn't follow the other musicians and he is OFF all the time. Rarely falls on the "1" after a fill. Je me demande bien comment un drummer professionnel comme lui peut être aussi "OFF". Pas de quoi être fier. He should practice his timing instead of his stupid stick tricks. For sure, nothing to be proud of... I went to a Bonham's tribute last year in Montréal and all of the drummers who went on stage, were a lot better, maybe not as "flashy" but they were very tight.

[@kippgriffin7671]

[@SlinnbobGames]

i dont know who the drummer is but ive never had a stronger knobhead vibe coming from anyone before- and after reading the comments, apparently im spot on hahaha

[@benjiarehart2878]

This was a train wreck.

[@tonymuratori5896]

I learned how to do triplets on the bass drum from Carmen‘s video. Say what you want but he’s a good teacher.

[@theartist124]

Hey guys, don't mind me, I'm going to play a little drum solo thing here before we play the song! No one sounds like Bonzo, no one ever will.

[@SkullScoper]

You gotta have respect for him though he was one of John Bonham's influences.

[@theartist124]

Turkey Sandwich Carmine's a good dude!

[@mrgarduna1492]

Appice is greater than Bonzo, jack!

[@theartist124]

People outside of musicians have no idea who he is, but they know Led Zeppelin's drummer!

[@SkullScoper]

+the artist there both great just wish carmine was more known

[@kevinyue2783]

A for courage, short bus for quality

[@juliomazariegos8796]

the singer is really struggling to hit the high notes!!!!

[@kenholley9431]

I LOVE CARMINE'S SENSE OF HUMOR. SHE IS COMFORTABLE AND CONFIDENT AS TO BE EXPECTED. HE IS EDUCATED IN THEORY AND BOATLOADS OF EXPERIENCE. HE IS THE KIND OF PLAYER THAT INSPIRES YOU TO STEP UP YOUR GAME. THANK YOU CARMINE. CARMINE IS LIKE YNGWIE- ONCE YOU UNDERSTAND THEIR DEMEANOR, YOU WILL REALIZE THEIR WORTH IN THE MUSIC BUSINESS. THANKS AGAIN.KEN

[@tec61]

Met CARMINE in ‘81’ we had a drum off competition at the club I worked at & him Joey Kramer(Aerosmith) Bruce Krump(Molly Hatchett) & Brian Downey(Thin Lizzy) we’re there just to judge & JAM. WOW!!, Carmine was INCREDIBLE!!!! the other guys were to OF COURSE. This performance by Carmine was NOT AT ALL up to his standards 👎🥴😒

[@scottroberts7103]

Carmine is also pushing 80 yrs.old. Give him a break. He's played with more famous and not so famous bands that you can't remember all of them. He is still a GOD.

[@marieraf8835]

I remember the fudge, Zeppelin was their back up band way back when
