Appice also discussed writing new material in Last In Line, which features his fellow original Dio members Vivian Campbell, Jimmy Bain and Claude Schnell along with singer Andrew Freeman (Lynch Mob and Hurricane).

Blabbermouth transcribed those two sections of the interview: On leaving Kill Devil Hill Appice said, "It wasn't a musical breakup at all. It was more of� What you wanna do with� I mean, I started the band; it was my band and then Rex [Brown, former Pantera and Down bassist] came into the band and he was a known dude and strong personality, and it became a great band. So it's not a musical problem at all; it's more a business thing where� scheduling and the idea of how to make this work, the time involved, and all the different things. Obviously, I had a lot of stuff on my plate, and it's hard to devote to one thing when these other really good things are happening too. So it was just a mutual thing where� 'Look, I think it's better if you guys continue and get somebody else,' and see what happens.

"Actually, [Kill Devil Hill] was started at the end of 2009, when I started doing this. You devote four years, almost five years to this thing. And it's, like, 'Wow! What does it take to get this across?' Especially when Rex joined the band. It's, like, people know Rex, people know me. It's not like it's a bunch of new guys trying to make it. And it was, like, 'Wow! It's really, really hard to get this thing off the ground.' It seems to be doing better now. And it comes down to getting people around you that know what they're doing, like record companies, managers, agents and different things. That's a real important part of being in a band. Unless it's an all-star band; then it's easy to go out and do stuff. Like Last In Line is a lot more sellable on this level than Kill Devil Hill when it comes to agents booking gigs. That's the way the business works; people wanna see, or hear music that they know.

"It's a crazy business right now. Rex and I were shocked that� 'Wow! This is the third tour already, and we're still struggling to get this thing off the ground.'� You're going out and you're making merch money, but it's all going back into keeping this thing alive. There's no tour support, there's no advertising� Where do you advertise? You can only advertise on the Internet, really; there's no more [print] magazines. And even then, it's hard to get a budget for advertising. Videos� You do videos� Basically, it seems like you just need somebody that does social media that you just hire 24 hours a day, every day, 16 hours a day, get on the Internet and get it everywhere. That seems to be the way to do it."
