Entrevista com Dave Elitch

É algo extensa, mas vale muito a pena porque se fica a perceber muito bem o que ali vai. Nele próprio, na banda, nos caminhos que já se percorreram e que estão para fazer. Vou apenas citar algumas partes, o resto leiam AQUI. Tal como achava - eu, pelo menos - não está confirmado que seja ele o próximo baterista dos TMV. Para já é-o apenas até ao final da Tour Australiana.

"I knew their first album, De-Loused in the Comatorium, fairly well so we [ele e o Juan] jammed mostly on that. After the jam he asked me if I wanted to do the gig.
Over the next two weeks, he came over to the studio several of times a week where we jammed, went through songs and I eventually went down to Omar’s house in Mexico. Omar, Juan and I rehearsed for about 5 days and then came back to LA. At that point I hadn’t even met Ikey, Marcel or Cedric! When we got to Amsterdam, it was the first time I’d met the whole band. We had two rehearsals with the entire band, went through all the songs twice and that was it. Then we were playing the first live show."

"I was in Manhattan last year doing a clinic at The Collective (aka The Drummers Collective). While I was out there, I got a chance to jam with Ben and Liam from the Dillinger Escape Plan. I had to learn about 6 songs for them and that was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done - really difficult."

"I was going to have an extra floor tom on my left and tape the notes to the drum with a light on there so I could see everything while we were playing. We got to rehearsals and I set the notes up and Juan was like, “What are you doing?” I was like, “I was just going to……” and he said, “No, get that shit outta here! You don’t need that!” So the first show was fun! There were a couple of minor things here and there but it was just surreal."
