Black Sabbath legend Vinnie Appice isn’t holding back on the reality of the Ronnie James Dio era. From the “illegal” nature of the band’s name to the sterile, “tame” recording sessions that nearly derailed their final studio masterpiece, Vinnie exposes why the stage was the only place the band felt alive. Discover the secret “drum machine” demos that pissed him off and why fans will always call it Black Sabbath, no matter what the lawyers say.
