BraveWords.com caught up with the influential drummer for a quick chat. Read excerpts below.
BraveWords.com: How many Drum Wars shows do you plan on doing in all?
Appice: "We’re doing a couple, right now, to break it in and then after that… a lot of promoters don’t know what they’re talking about, but we’ll put together a Drum Wars promotional video and do some more shows in the summer.”
BraveWords.com: Since this is a ‘drum war’ – who is the better drummer between your brother and you?
Appice: "Well, I’m the original (laughs).”
BraveWords.com: So, in others words… better.
Appice: "Well, I don’t know if I’m better – you know what I’m saying? Vinny does certain things great and I do certain thing great also, but I’m the originator of the style that Vinny plays.”
BraveWords.com: Back when you were in Ozzy and Vinny was in Dio – was there a sense of competition?
Appice: "No, not at all. The way Vinny got the gig for Black Sabbath was that Sabbath actually called me and I couldn’t do it, so I recommended my brother. He auditioned and he got it.”
