HE CALLS HIMSELF “ADD Dave” due to his manic style, and is one of the busiest and most iconic drummers in the history of thrash metal, having worked with pretty much all of your musical heroes over his four-decadelong career. So Dave Lombardo was never going to be fazed by facing your toughest questions.
For the next hour he is open and still clearly enthused by the many projects he’s involved in, coming across as a massive music-lover in general. He happily waxes lyrical about his love of punk, thrash, jazz, Lemmy, Mike Patton, duetting with avantgarde composer John Zorn and getting the seal of approval from jazz legend Miles Davis.
Was it hard to get your head around playing the Fantômas music live? Did it kind of feel like a metal piss-take?
