Carmine Appice has always been one of ...By Broons77I read this when it first came out on Kindle so I don't remember too many of the details, just that is was a great book. Carmine Appice has always been one of my favorite drummers so I definitely wanted to read this. It traces his story starting in the 50's just starting out on the drums all the way today. Lots of peaks and valleys along the way along with all of the gory details. A couple of things I can relate to such as going to White Castle with Ozzy after a show at the Nassau Coliseum. I was actually at that show and I'm pretty sure he went to the White Castle on Hempstead Turnpike that's not there anymore. Also in the book he mentions smoking a joint with Buddy Rich (and his brother Vinnie) and thinking "wow, I'm smoking a joint with Buddy Rich". Well, I got to do the same thing with Carmine after a show he did with Edgar Winters. I remember thinking the same thing, just replacing Carmine Appice with Buddy Rich. After reading the book though, I wish I had met him ten years earlier when things were crazy! This was in Albuquerque, NM where I was visiting a friend that didn't come out with me because he had to work early in the morning. Carmine asked me where the party was and I said I was going to ask the same thing. This past summer I saw Vanilla Fudge (they were great) at an outdoor concert. They were selling gear afterwards so I went and bought a drum head with a cool picture on it and the band all signed it. Carmine had copies of his book and asked if I was going to buy one. I told him I already bought it and read it. He asked how it was and I said great. He asked my wife if she read it and she said no. He smiled and said it was x-rated! The girl on the drum head was topless so he said "I'm going to sign her breasts", although he didn't say breasts. He's the total rock star, it's great! I not sure if he believed I bought the book because he asked where I got it when we were walking away and I told him Kindle and it looked like he was thinking about the answer, maybe that part was new to him. Also, Mark Stein was signing his book as well. He convinced me to buy it ( I actually thought the drum head was more money, but the price I was looking at was for a package of items, so I was happy to have more money on hand anyway). I was talking to a friend of mine while my wife was still talking to Mark Stein and when she came over she said "ewww, he kissed me good-bye on the lips". I know he checked her out when we were talking to Carmine (she's a looker, but personality-wise she's Mary Poppins). I said "they're rock stars, what are you gonna do". My friend said "she'll be in the next book" which I thought was funny. Anyway, enough about me, if you like Carmine Appice, drumming, tales from the road, tales about family life (because Carmine was close with his family and they played a big part in his life, as well as the great relationship he has with his wife), and a great history of his time in rock and roll, then get this book!2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Stick to drumming!By Michael in HoustonI have always loved Appice's bands but was disappointed to find his (and his coauthor's) writing not up to the standard of his stellar drumming. Carmine has had some interesting adventures (to put it mildly) but bragging about hundreds of groupies in such painfully graphic detail does not make for a comfortable read. Still love the drumming, Carmine!1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. A Rocker's Journey Worth Reading About!By I have to say upfront I am not a fan of books written by Rock-n-Rollers and I'm not even a huge fan of many of Carmine's bands he's played in but I saw him being interviewed here in NYC by Mickey Burns on his TV show "Profiles" and was intrigued by him enough that I bought the book. I think this is a terrific read. I'm actually surprised he writes so openly and honestly about not just people we know of but of himself as well. The bigger surprise is that much of what he says of himself is not the least bit flattering and surprisingly brutally honest. I have to hand it to him he certainly puts it all out there for you to see and it ain't always pretty. This is not so much a "tell all" book as it is one person's journey through a life very few get to live and how he dealt with it warts and all.I would say it is worth the read for sure. He ran with teenage gangs in Brooklyn before becoming a global rock star in the Summer of Love. He was managed by the mob, hung with Hendrix, trashed thousands of hotel rooms, unwittingly paid for an unknown Led Zeppelin to support him on tour, taught John Bonham (as well as Fred Astaire) a thing or two about drumming, and took part in Zeppelinrsquo;s infamous deflowering of a groupie with a mud shark. After enrolling in Rod Stewartrsquo;s Sex Police, he hung out with Kojak, accidentally shared a house with Prince, became blood brothers with Ozzy Osbourne, and got fired by Sharon. He formed an all-blond hair metal band, jammed with John McEnroe and Steven Seagal, became a megastar in Japan, got married five times, slept with 4,500 groupiesmdash;and, along the way, became a rock legend by single-handedly reinventing hard rock and heavy metal drumming. Carmine Appice has enjoyed a jaw- dropping rock-and-roll lifemdash;and here he is telling his scarcely believable story. Cowritten with Ian Gittins, the coauthor with Nikki Sixx of the New York Times bestseller The Heroin Diaries, Stick It! is one of the most extraordinary and outrageous rock-and-roll biographies of our time. ldquo;Carmine Appicersquo;s name is indelibly written into the history of heavy rock drumming. He is in that untouchable few who, by defining the genre at the beginning, enabled rock music to be what it is todayrdquo;nbsp;mdash;Brian May, Queen [rbOFN.ebook] Stick It!: My Life of Sex, Drums, and Rock 'n' Roll By Carmine Appice PDF [rbOFN.ebook] Stick It!: My Life of Sex, Drums, and Rock 'n' Roll By Carmine Appice Epub [rbOFN.ebook] Stick It!: My Life of Sex, Drums, and Rock 'n' Roll By Carmine Appice Ebook [rbOFN.ebook] Stick It!: My Life of Sex, Drums, and Rock 'n' Roll By Carmine Appice Rar [rbOFN.ebook] Stick It!: My Life of Sex, Drums, and Rock 'n' Roll By Carmine Appice Zip [rbOFN.ebook] Stick It!: My Life of Sex, Drums, and Rock 'n' Roll By Carmine Appice Read Online.
