They must be true

I love listening to Carmine. Both are amazing drummers

🤌🏻 the Italian hand is all that matters. 😅

Appice bros are legendary! Vinny joined behemoth Black Sabbath in the middle of the Heaven and Hell tour at the age of 22-23. That's MIND BLOWING!!

That is a great story. I have wondered, not for years, but decades why the different pronunciation. And the way they used as promo material is so brilliant. I love this. Thanks for posting.

Not to mention the unpronounced anglo final E

Vinnie was with Rick Derringer in the 1970's...drummers know all the guys and who they played with.

Caramel Apple

The real pronunciation of his name is "Apeechi" in Italian.

Sure but most Americans anglicize the pronunciation of their names.

I've been saying it that way for years. It just sounds better than "A piece" or "App Ah See"

I have one of Carmine's videos to learn how to play the drums - the one thing I can't do. I loved it. It was for kids, but that's what I needed, a great starting point.

Wow! A Mercury Sable. He must have been rolling in cash.

I worked at a red roof inn back when he was in Blue murder and they stayed there one night. When they checked in Carmine wanted someone to take his bags to his room and bring him dinner. The maintenance guy happened to be there and told him "you're at a red roof inn. You must not be as popular as you think you are." I could barely keep from laughing as I finished checking them in

I still wonder how his family pronounced it when they were growing up.

Thank you again

Each brother had a Mercury Sable w/ the same dent,, Lol.. love it..

a peach ee.

Like Frank gambale.

I've been saying "App-uh-see" for like 35 years

Hearing their brother chime in, I would say "Ap-Pi-Che" is probably the most correct way of saying their name, but "The Biz" has a funny way of simplifying things it can't comprehend.

True, but generally speaking a lot of “difficult” surnames, including Italian names, are Anglicized. Most Italian Americans (who have Italian surnames) pronounce their surnames differently than their ancestors did .

Him in bogart beck ...and blue murder I think he opened DOORS

Well that settles it then. Vinny has been right all this time. 😁

Car man a piece. Sounds like a perfect name for a car dealership. One of the salesmen is Appisch, he's the one who always catches a cold and sneezes...

A- Piece, App--pathy

So now I know.

I always pronounced their name the way Ronnie James Dio did for Vinny

How did Ronnie say it? Being an Italian American himself he probably had a particular way he liked to say it that he felt was more “authentic”.

wow! That last one is totally right. uh PEE she. Italian. But Vinny could totally beat up Carmine in a fist fight.

Car-me-naih Up-pea-chaih/che the only RIGHT pronounciation

Totally sounds like a dude i would want to be on the good side of, right Nikki?

Sorry, but Vinnie's version of the name sounds horrible...

Vinnie pronounces it wrong because he has more Moors ancestry than Carmine, and most of "them" are stupid. Kidding y'all.
