A special Ronnie James
Dio tribute video By Carmine & Vinny Appice will be releasing soon. This
Dio video celebration will commemorate the ten-year anniversary of the passing
of the late, great singer, who died on May 16, 2010 from cancer. The video
will be released on Sunday, May 16, 2020 on YouTube and on the Internet in
general.
Besides
being a close friend, Vinny Appice was also a longtime musical sidekick of
Dio’s, performing with him in Black Sabbath and Heaven & Hell.
Vinny also performed with Rick Derringer and, as a sixteen-year old in 1974,
met John Lennon at the Record Plant Studios in New York during the recording of
Lennon’s classic Walls and Bridges album, adding background hand
claps to the hit single Whatever Gets You Through the Night. And he
and his original bandmates from the first Dio lineup reformed in 2012 as Last
in Line to record and perform live.
A
consummate performer and drummer, Vinny also is a brilliant clinician,
performing clinics and master classes all across the globe as well as making
appearances in films and television.
He has recorded and co-written songs on over 25 albums and CDs including many multi-platinum records. Touring the world for over 2 decades resulted in selling millions of records!

The Drum Wars book and
DVD kit takes drum solos of Carmine and Vinny Appice, and breaks them down into
easily digestible sections. By viewing the included video footage of the solos
at 75% and 50% of their normal speed, students can see, hear, and thoroughly
understand each section. With the addition of MP3s, each solo is presented with
the clearest sound, even at slower speeds. In the book, each section of the
solos is notated and explained, and also comes with foundational patterns that
will help students learn the recorded solo patterns slowly. A complete
transcription of each solo is also included for reading students.

BOOK TRAILER
BOOK REVIEW
-By Literary Titan (5) STARS
The Rock Star Chronicles, by Ray
Shasho, is a splendid book written by a music enthusiast who has poured their
heart and soul into it. It’s a story of a boy who loved rock music, and his
obsessive passion of it earned himself the name Rock Raymond. He went to school
but instead was schooled in all matters of music while his peers were buried
chin-deep in coursework. He then became a radio DJ and has now compiled a book
on all interviews he held with Rock gods who raided the airwaves back in the
70s and 80s. It’s a compilation of interviews with outstanding vocalists,
legendary guitarists and crazy drummers in the rock music scene. Each interview
gives a reader an in-depth view into their personal lives and the philosophies
that guide their lives which all serve to humanize these great icons. For
readers who are old enough to call themselves baby boomers this book will bring
old memories back to life. Millennials, on the other hand, may think of this
book as a literal work of the Carpool Karaoke show.
The Rock Star Chronicles is a book I
didn’t know I was waiting for. To come across a book that will talk me into
trying something new. One brave enough to incite me to venture into new
frontiers. This book made me a believer- I am now a bona fide Rock and Roll
music fan.
Ray Shasho masterfully gets the
interviewees talking. He smartly coaxes answers from them with crafty questions
designed to get a story rolling out of them. The artists talk about diverse
issues ranging from music, politics, and their social engagements. Having been
on the music seen all his life, Ray Shasho knows the buttons to press, how to
get them comfortable about talking about their lives.
The book’s cover is befitting of its
subject matter with the leather look offering a royal background to the golden
letter print. It speaks to how high a level rock music holds in the pecking
order- arguably, modern music as we know it has originated from blues and rock
music. The second noteworthy thing is the use of high definition pictures
to reference the musician being interviewed in every sub-chapter. This ensures
that the book is for both original rock and roll lovers and aspiring new ones.
Together is makes for a refreshing and consistently enjoyable read.
I recommend this book to rock music
enthusiasts, aspiring musicians wondering what it takes and all readers curious
to learn new things by going back in time.
