Ever the firebrand and a good source for a cranky comment about music, we dropped him a line to ask about his personal relationship with Metallica Drummer! His response came too late to appear in the resulting article ("Air Canada," Jan. 27), but makes for an amusing read in its own right:
[I] just watched it again tonight. It seems every band that comes through the doors here at the studio wants to see it, and nobody is ever disappointed. It's like the Zapruder film -- you can't examine it too closely.
It bothers me a little that the guy is actually a drummer. It would be slightly more impressive if he was only interested in perfecting his air drumming.
With the Canadian journalism world now expressing interest -- we got a call from the Toronto Star recently -- we promise more updates as we find them. (M.A.)
