**Carmine Appice**, the legendary drummer for **Vanilla Fudge, Cactus, Beck, Bogert & Appice, Rod Stewart, King Kobra** and more is no stranger to change in the music business.

He's been part of the evolution from the album oriented rock in the 1970s to today when artists can connect directly with fans, but struggle with traditional revenue streams. 

On a new [**Music Biz Weekly Podcast**](https://www.hypebot.com/tag/music-biz-weekly-podcast/), Appice talks about it all and goes deep into using AI to create music videos for Cactus’s recent albums. He collaborates with veteran video director **Dom Esposito** to create high-quality computer-generated content that would have cost millions to produce and then uses them to promote releases and live shows.

 The conversation also covers Carmine’s long career working with famous bands and his approach to creating music for fun rather than profit in today’s marketplace.
