He was awesome in Wrathchild back in the day. They used to play the Freestreet club in Portland, Maine back in the mid 80’s. He is so much more as a drummer than he what he does in Godsmack. An incredibly graceful powerful musician. Great interview!

I loved Wrathchild America..I remember they did a song on 3D called Gentleman Death which was about Lestat, I believe, and I was a huge Anne Rice fan...great hooky song and I think I still have the WA cassette ..wow memories. Then they changed to Souls at Zero..I know I still have that cassette..that was killer..drums were insane.
