As you may or may not know, I haven't been listening to Voivod for as long as many of you. So this may be a silly question: What nationality is Eric Forrest?

Here's what I know: He was discovered by Piggy & Away in Toronto, so he must be Canadian...right? Yet in the lyrics to "DNA (Don't No Anything)", he sings that he was born in the USA...or was he? He got together with two guys from the USA for Project Failing Flesh - where did he meet them? Was it really via a spontaneous e-mail exchange, or did he know them before?

Or maybe he's Canadian-American, or American-Canadian, or "None Of The Above".

They say the ringing in my ears is due to my medication, but I'm starting to think it's because of metalcation instead...

SR: How did Jim Thirlwell get involved? Impressive that you give him his own track for his song.

AWAY: I was returning a favor to Jim. He came to a couple of shows in New York at the old Ritz and he invited me to work with him. I've played on a couple of his albums. He's like the Frank Zappa of industrial music. He works so well and I have a great relationship with him on a twisted level. We discovered that we are both into freak shows or fright shows. That's what "D.N.A. (Don't No Anything) is about. It's an experiment that turns bad and some human gets turned into a monster. He doesn't know because there's no mirror. He's totally monstrous. I asked Jim to do the lyrics but once I read them I knew he would be the only guy who could sing them. It's very cool of him, actually.

Shread, I think after chatting with him before a gig a few years back, he is an American living in the world of Alexander Keiths, Molson and Moosehead.

So if he's indeed an American, I wonder what year he moved to the Great White North.

None of this matters, of course - just making conversation. And for anyone upset about the King Crimson references, I can only tell you that you have to be happy with what you have to be happy with.

Damn...time for another martini...
