Carmine Appice :
“The Guitar Zeus project, for me, was an amazing experience that has
never been done before by a drummer, especially with so much talent
on one album! You get your money’s worth! Writing all the songs with
my band (Tony & Kelly) and then picking out songs for each guitarist
was a fun and time-consuming process, especially coordinating
everybody’s schedules and recording sessions.
From the opening note, one can tell this is going to be something
special. I consider these drum tracks to be some of the best
performances in my career, topped off with working with so many
great guitarists and singers. The combination of players and song
selection is something special with some of the tunes is out of the
ordinary and ahead of their time!”

Since it's first release (1997), various versions of "Carmine
Appice's Guitar Zeus - Volume II" does exist, but not all features
the song "Snake" with Bruce Kulick.
Even the album "Channel Mind Radio" is released with different track listings,
for example the 2003 reissue has a (slightly) different album
cover, which actually is released as "Carmine Appice's Guitar Zeus
Vol 2: Channel Mind Radio" This version doesn't contain the
song "Shake" (with Bruce Kulick), but "Nothing" (with
John Norum) instead.
August 2009 Fuel Records reissued the Guitar Zeus project as
"Conquering Heroes",
a 24 track double-disc set compilation of the best Guitar Zeus
songs, with also features "Snake" (with Bruce Kulick). |
