Veteran drummer Carmine Appice from Vanilla Fudge recalls: "When I listened to the record and heard the" Good Times, Bad Times "triplet, I said to myself, 'Woah! What a foot on this guy.

On September 30th, Vanilla Fudge will release the album "Vanilla Zeppelin", a reinterpretation of the historic American band from the repertoire of the British group disbanded in 1980. The album was anticipated by the release of the covers of "Rock And Roll", "Immigrant Song "and" Ramble On ".

 

Vanilla Fudge were famous before Led Zeppelin but they had more than one bond: they were tied to the same label and the managers of the two bands also had a good relationship. Fudge drummer Carmine Appice recalls in an interview granted last year to the podcast 'Musicians On Couches Drinking Coffee', recalling once more as a John Bonham lick, particularly evident in "Good Times, Bad Times" , the track that opens “Led Zeppelin I” released in 1969, was inspired by his work on the first self-titled 1967 Vanilla Fudge album or "Renaissance" released in 1968.

Appice said: "When I listened to the record and heard the triplet of" Good Times, Bad Times ", I said to myself: 'Woah! What a foot on this boy.

Really cool. ' So at the first gig they played with us, before the gig I said to John, 'Your foot on the record drives me crazy. It's incredible'. He replied, 'Thanks. I got it from you. ' And I, 'I don't remember doing that.' He, 'Yeah, he's in "Vanilla Fudge"'. 'Where?'. Because then, but still today, I don't play what I feel, I play what comes to mind. ".

Carmine Appice said he would like to play at a Led Zeppelin reunion, claiming he was better suited to replace John on drums than Bonham's son, Jason, motivating his claim in this way: "Everyone in that band is legendary ... They're old school and legendary. Jason isn't legendary and he's not old school. He's John Bonham's son, but he doesn't sound like John Bonham. He's not John. He's got that name, but he's not John Bonham. I'm not John either. Bonham, but I think my style might be closer to him, because I got there first, and John listened to the things I did and did it his way. And we took them on their first tour. " (Rockol)
