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.

Apricot Chicken

An unholy meal universally hated by all. Disgust towards the vile concoction transcends all race, sex and religion.

Regarded as the meal of the Devil, ancient religious texts have quoted apricot chicken as the meal served to those in hell.

“And the Lord smote Cain into damnation, sentencing him to an eternity of fire, torment and apricot chicken”

Apunctious

An obnoxious, sharp, punctuated sound most commonly found as a guesture rather than a spoken statement.

An abrupt distraction

Their intimate dinner was interupted by an apunctious slamming of a glass on a nearby table.
