I hope you enjoy this 25th year celebration of some of the greatest rock guitarist ever put together. KEEP ROCKIN”. Carmine Appice

Carmine has just released a brand new lyric video for the track “Mystified” featuring Tommy Thayer of KISS.


Deko Entertainment has teamed up with Goldmine Magazine to create a one-of-a-kind Guitar Zeus 25th Anniversary Limited Edition bundle that includes not only the boxset, but a special Guitar Zeus necklace, autographed picture from Carmine, and a pair of his signature drum sticks.

As drummer for Vanilla Fudge, Carmine Appice set the grooves for the groundbreaking band‘s 1967 psychedelic debut. Post-Fudge, Bogert, and Appice formed Cactus (seen as an influence on King‘s X and Van Halen). Post-Cactus, the rhythm section found Grammy-winning Guitar Hero Jeff Beck to form the first supergroup: Beck, Bogert & Appice (BBA). One of the premier showmen in rock, Appice became known worldwide for his astonishing live performances, in addition to becoming a highly sought-after session drummer, recording with countless artists throughout his career. In ‘76, he joined the Rod Stewart Band, touring, recording, and writing two of Stewart‘s biggest hits, “Do Ya Think I‘m Sexy” and “Young Turks”. He would go on to form King Kobra, tour with Ozzy Osbourne, and Blue Murder with John Sykes (Whitesnake) and Tony Franklin (The Firm).

“What really makes the record come alive is the massive lineup of guest guitarists that join Appice on it. Each of these players really fit the moniker of “Guitar Zeus” in their own way, making this line up of guests a genius assortment. The tracks hit the listener like a bolt of Zeus’s lightning, with distinct grooves that only Appice and each of his guests could deliver.” MusicPlayers.com
