Some people may have the video but they may want the CD as well. We had Cactus Live in New York City, which was the first gig we did in 2006 with the revamped line up with Jimmy Kunes singing, Tim Bogart on bass, Jim McCarty on guitars and me. I thought it would be easier for me to release it than it would to go get another record deal. After I looked, I saw that Cactus Live in Japan was only released in Japan and that they were only going to release five hundred records and then we had the rights for the rest of the world. What things do you have?” I told him I had a few things and that I would have to look. We were talking about the book and my partner Mike Cusanelli said, “If you’ve got some material in your private collection that you’d like to get released, then I could probably set up a little label for you to be distributed by eOne and you could release some of those cool things.
Everyone has been like, “I can’t wait to read this.” I would tell them, “It will be out next fall” and now I don’t know when it will be out. I’m not going to talk much about the book, now. I have a hit writer on it and he did a great job on it with me, and I think it will be easy to do that. I am one chapter away from finishing the book and now we are back to having to get a book deal.
Jeb: This all came up with a conversation and you just took it from there.Ĭarmine: The guy that was involved in negotiating my book deal with VH1-I just found out today that VH1 has stopped doing books. If people don’t buy it then we won’t be able to do any more. We really hope we can keep releasing product. We engineered everything, mastered it, put the artwork together and we set up the LLC and it took some time and money to get started. We just wanted to give this a try and to do our best and to see how far we can take this. We got some seed money from eOne and we got these four releases ready to go. I thought we’d revamp the name and shake it up again.Ĭarmine: It is digital now, some of the products that come out later next year will be CDs and maybe some vinyl depending who it is and how much money we have. I had King Kobra III on Rocker Records in the ‘80s but it fell apart because of the distributing label. Jeb: Drumming icon, songwriter, and author…now record company owner!Ĭarmine: Well, I did that in the ‘80s, as well. The drummer also talks about his new super group Legacy X, with Joe Lynn Turner, Jeff Watson and Tony Franklin, and his upcoming Rod Stewart Experience shows. In the interview that follows, Carmine opens up and tells how Rocker Records came to be and the story behind these four releases. All four releases are only available as digital downloads. There are four releases, discussed in detail below, two live albums from Cactus, one with Carmine and Pat Travers and one from Tim Bogart and Carmine with some of their famous friends. Okay, the label is only kinda-sorta new as Carmine used it in the ‘80s with his metal band King Kobra, but the music is all new and utilizing modern day technology to get it to the masses.
