also, if i'm not mistaken, patton played all the instruments on "chariot choogle" -- it was recorded before he recruited dave, buzz and trevor. very cool.
You are correct sir. I believe it was part of the demo he gave them. Wasn't Igor Cavallera originally supposed to be the drummer of Fantomas but he said no?
"The first drummer I talked to was the drummer in Sepultura, Igor
Cavalera, a friend of mine. And he was into it, but he's coming from his own
place, and I wasn't really secure that that place was the right place for this
music. Meaning, I sent him a tape and he was kind of like, "Well, these are
some nice ideas. Maybe we can jam a little bit on this." Whoa! Wait a minute.
This isn't jam music, bud. I know it doesn't sound like a song, but that's what
I hear as a song. I was like, "Oh, fuck, the drummer is the crux of this thing.
In this type of music, you're only as good as your drummer." And then I
thought, "Oh my God, Lombardo is the man. Of course!"
