Carmine Gallio

Two demi-gods of the drums, Carmine & Vinny Appice, go head-to-head on this unique album recorded live at the Iridium in NY June 2014! Features superb versions of the hit songs from the bands associated with the Appice Bros, including Black Sabbath s The Mob Rules, Dio s Holy Diver, Ozzy s Bark At The Moon, Rod Stewart s Do Ya Think I m Sexy PLUS electrifying solos and more!

Over the years, drummer Carmine Appice has played with some of rock's all-time guitar greats, including Jeff Beck, Tommy Bolin, David Gilmour, Jim McCarty, and Ted Nugent. So it would make sense for Appice to call on a few six-string pals to lend a hand for a pair of solo releases from the mid- to late '90s – Guitar Zeus and Guitar Zeus, Vol. 2. In 2006 the Ultimate Guitar Zeus compilation was released, collecting 14 highlights from both albums on a single disc. Standouts include some truly hellacious guitar work from Nugent on the album-opening "Days Are Nights," Zakk Wylde ripping it up throughout "Code 19," and a hard rock reworking of the Appice co-penned Rod Stewart hit "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy," which features Pat Travers.
