Since the late '60s, drummer Carmine Appice has been one of the most respected players among his peers, yet he rarely gets the recognition he deserves for his efforts and contributions to rock drumming. Having performed/recorded with a multitude of artists over the years, Appice appeared to have launched a promising solo career in the early '80s, with the release of Rockers in 1981. But fans waiting for a solo Appice follow-up would have to wait a nice and cozy 15 years, when Guitar Zeus finally appeared. Appice didn't use the long layoff between solo albums unwisely, however, as he assembled a multitude of renowned guitarists to lend a hand, including Slash, Yngwie Malmsteen, Brian May, Ted Nugent, and Elliot Easton. Hard rock is the name of the game here, with standouts including the Doug Pinnick-sung "This Time Around," the two-part title track guitar smorgasbord, and the moody "Where You Belong." With Appice playing as solidly as ever and supported by a strong cast, his fans will surely not be disappointed with Guitar Zeus.

Biography:

Rock drummer Carmine Appice has appeared in a variety of groups over the years, starting with Vanilla Fudge in 1966. That band made five charting albums between 1967 and 1969, the most successful of which was the gold-selling debut Vanilla Fudge. Appice and Vanilla Fudge bassist Tim Bogert then formed Cactus with guitarist Jim McCarty (not the Jim McCarty from the Yardbirds) and singer Rusty Day. While Appice and Bogert were in the lineup, Cactus charted with four albums between 1970 and 1972, most successfully the debut, Cactus. In 1973, Appice and Bogert teamed up with guitarist Jeff Beck to form Beck, Bogert & Appice, who scored a gold-selling album, Beck Bogert & Appice. Appice was a member of the supergroup KGB, who featured Ray Kennedy, Rick Grech, Mike Bloomfield, and Barry Goldberg, and made one charting album in 1976. He worked as Rod Stewart's drummer in the '70s and '80s and co-wrote Stewart's hits "Do Ya Think I'm Sexy?" (number one, 1978) and "Young Turks" (number five, 1981). In 1989, he was part of the trio Blue Murder with John Sykes and Tony Franklin, who made one charting album. Always busy, Appice worked on albums with King Cobra, Travers & Appice, Cactus (Cactus V appeared in 2006) and with a reunited version of Vanilla Fudge, who re-formed in 2000. He also began his Guitar Zeus project, pairing a core band with many of the most dynamic guitarists in rock and metal. Guitar Zeus appeared in 1996, followed by Guitar Zeus, Vol. 2: Channel Mind Radio a year later in 1997. The best of these two releases were combined for 2009's Carmine Appice's Guitar Zeus: Conquering Heroes.
