Read the excerpt from the interview

In an interview on the Music Mania podcast, drummer Vinny Appice was asked if he was ever invited to play on Black Sabbath . Check out his statement:

“They got together with a new producer, Rick Rubin. And, you know, there are different people around them. So it wasn't 'okay, let's call Vinny.' I don't know who recommended the guy who plays on the album [Brad Wilk]; it must have had to do with Rick Rubin. That's how things happen in this industry. Different people around the band influence the decisions the band makes.”.

They never called me. I don't know why. And I don't ask, because every time I played with the band, they were the ones who called. They know my phone number; they know how to contact me. And that's fine, I'm still friends with Tony, I still talk to Tony and Geezer, I love them, and they're still family. But they didn't call me for the tour, and that's okay. I'm just happy they're playing.”.
