STICK IT!: MY LIFE OF SEX, DRUMS, AND ROCK ‘N’ ROLLby Appice, Carmine/ Gittins, Ian/ Stewart, Rod (FRW)

PRICE: $26.99 - Hardcover ISBN: 9781613735527PUBLISHER: Chicago Review PressAVAILABILITY: 5/1/2016

Appice hung with Hendrix, trashed thousands of hotel rooms, unwittingly paid for an unknown Led Zeppelin to support him on tour, taught John Bonham to play drums (and helped Fred Astaire too), and took part in Zeppelin’s infamous defl owering of a groupie with a mud shark. After enrolling in Rod Stewart’s infamous Sex Police, he

hung out with Kojak, accidentally shared a house with Prince, was blood brothers with Ozzy Osbourne and was fi red by Sharon. He got married fi ve times, slept with 4,500 groupies—and, along the way, became a rock legend by single-handedly reinventing hard rock and heavy metal drumming.
