“I said, ‘Oh, man, we’re gonna kick some ass on a Pink Floyd record!’ I’m not really a Pink Floyd guy. I never understood why they got so big. I think they were boring most of the time”: The hard-hitting drummer who substituted for Nick Mason in the ’80s

Floyd in 1987.

Carmine Appice is not a Pink Floyd fan. Simply put, he “doesn’t get it.” But that didn’t stop him sitting in for Floyd drummer Nick Mason on the track Dogs Of War from Floyd’s 1987 album A Momentary Lapse Of Reason.

Looking back on it, Appice tells MusicRadar, “I was happy to be on it. I got the gold and platinum records.”
