I’m so glad I saw Heaven and Hell shortly before Dio died.

Personally, I think the engineer for Live Evil, Lee DeCarlo, was psychotic. No one was messing with the mixes, except maybe him. RJD ALWAYS said he did not push the vocals forward, and lower the guitar and bass. I personally believe him, because Ronnie was always an honorable guy, regardless of what Vivian Campbell says

I was super lucky that my Uncle Bill was on the board of directors for the Omni in Atlanta and he called me one afternoon and goes "You ever heard of a band called Black Sabbath?" Im like hell yea. He goes "I have twenty tickets on the floor in the first two rows in front of the stage, do you want them?" This was the Mob Rules tour with the Canadian band Riot( Restless Breed ect.)opening for them. Im like hell yes i want them. It was the middle of the week i think maybe a Tue. or Wed. So i said i'll be over in 10 mins. to get them!! I called every buddy i could think of plus all their girlfriends too and we rocked the hell out that night lol. I bet my ears rang for two days sitting in front the massive wall of speakers and amplifiers they had onstage!

sabbath always had good drummers, bev bevan on born again tour was no slouch either

Much respect for Vinnie. I was so impressed with his work on those two Derringer albums. He's one of the more musical drummers around. Not just a basher.

Vinny defined a lot of the overall Black Sabbath and of course, Dio sound....... Straight forward, turn the sticks around, hard-hitting and awesome drumming! So glad he never got mixed up with Ozzy....... (nothing against Ozzy, just a completely different path)

Vinnie is such a cool person and such a monster drummer. My utmost respect!

I met Vinny Appice Kill Devil Hill at New Parrish, good times!🤘

"Explosive"??Good interview, but that is 1000% clickbait!

I enjoy listening to Vinny. Different interviews over the years brought on some very humorous stories. All the best to you Vinny. RIP Ronnie

wow!! good thing you dodged that bullet refusing the Ozzy gig! you would've been used, uncermonially dumped, not payed, not credited, Ozzy IS Crazy and Sharon even Crazier!

I had the pleasure to meet Vinny during the Holy Diver tour. Super nice laid back guy.

I was at that show at Aloha Stadium 🏟️ in 1980!

I love Mob Rules, Dehumanizer and The Devil You Know, as well as Holy Diver and Last In Line.

Holy Diver is my junior high album

Vinny is one of the best and most friendliest rock legends out there. I've met him tons of times and is always awesome. Definitely my biggest drumming influence. He even taught my son how to do the 🤘. I have pictures!

I knew of Vinny way back when he was in Rick Derringers band. He was so original in his drumming abilities and how and what he played.

I hope that you and Vivian Campbell do the 40 th anniversary of the last in Line album this year

One of the names you often saw on album sleeves, always a great addition to any band. Also great to see these people being as nice as they are awesome musicians. Through and through impressive careers as Heaven and Hell's last record attests (also remarkable how it sounds fresh still, both the original 1980 record and the 2009 one).

Seems like he just wants to go out there and play. Last in Line, Sabbath Knights or whatever comes along. I think that's a good spirit. I'm guessing with another famous brother and quite a career himself money isn't really an issue unless he starts to waste much of it.
