Carmine Appice

Carmine Appice was the drummer for the early psychedelic band Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, and later for BBA which stands for Beck (Jeff Beck), Bogert (Tim Bogert, bassist for Vanilla Fudge and Cactus). He was an early user of a two bass drum setup (a la Keith Moon) and inadvertantly caused John Bonham to work insanely hard at increasing his bass drum speed with one foot, because Bonham thought Appice was playing so fast with a single foot. He was one of the originators (along with Bonham) of the power template of rock drumming, playing heavily and with emphasis on volume from the bottom up (bass drum dominant). He, like Bonham, is far better than such modern craptastic drummers as Travis Barker and Neil Peart (while Peart is actually talented, he has no sense of what GOOD music actually sounds like and simply likes to show off his technical abilities, which are, admittedly, fairly impressive). Appice is one of the most underrated of the classic rock drummers.

Person 1: Hey man, listen to this Vanilla Fudge record. Carmine Appice is really good.

Person 2: Who is Vanilla Fudge, and why should I listen to a drummer? Everyone knows the world revolves around guitarists.

Carmine

Anthony Carmine is a member of Delta Squad in the video game Gears of War. He is K.I.A. since he got sniped by a locust in one of the first missions of the storyline. Voted "most likely to get shot" in the COG military academy, he's the only one in Delta Squad to wear a helmet. He's a fan favourite, so you'll see a COG team full of Carmines in the multiplayer every now and then.

In Gears of War 2, Benjamin Carmine, Anthony's brother, makes an appearance. He has a very similar outfit (and a helmet), but expected to have a change in personality.

"I've got a problem, something's wrong with this thing. It keeps jammin'! See?" Boom! *gets shot in the head*

Carmine's awesome quote: "SHIT yeah!!"

Smelly Carmine

The act of pooping in a paper bag and crunching it up. Then drawing a face on it and traveling the world with it as if it were your wife.

My Smelly Carmine and I just went to Greece and couldn't believe how romantic it was.
