antiMusic: At this point in your career, you have played with a who's who of rock names from Beck to Pink Floyd. Is there anybody you wish you had played with or a project you wish you had been involved with?

Carmine: I mean, I wish Led Zeppelin would have continued and I ended up playing with them, replacing my friend John Bonham who you know, listened to my playing and had a lot of the same kind of feel and fills the way I play it, I think I would have fit in really well with Led Zeppelin. I would have maybe liked to do that. Otherwise, there's not really anybody that I would think, wow I wish I could have�well maybe there is. Maybe I wish I would have played with the Police. (laughs)

antiMusic: (laughs) I didn't expect that.

Carmine: There you go. I love The Police. I love the kind of music. I love what they're doing. I think the drum parts are great. I would play them like Stewart Copeland because you know, he came up with a whole new style of drumming, as far as I'm concerned. But you know, pretty much, I don't sit there and go, man I wish I would have played with Clapton, or I wish I would have played with, I don't know, (laughs) Nirvana. (laughs) You know what I mean? - Read the full interview
