Do to a last minute scheduling conflict we had to switch up gears and resurrect an interview I did back in 93 with current Machine Head drummer Dave McClain. At the time he was part of Sacred Reich.

The interview took place shortly after the recording of Sacred Reich‘s Independent album. Items discussed during this interview are the album Independent, how he joined Sacred, his early influences, touring, and the advent of grunge. Since Dave is knows as one of metals premiere drummers, it is interesting to also hear him mention how he’s never recognized, and doesn’t know why people would want his autograph.

Items discussed are as follows:

Flotsam and Jetsam, Sepultura, Meat Puppets, Gin Blossoms, Murder Card, Prong, Phil Rind, A Question?, Peter Criss, Neil Peart, Terry Bozzio, Igor Cavalera, Pantera, Vinnie Paul, New Titans On The Block, Napalm Death, Sick Of It All, Metallica, Fear Factory, Biohazard, Rush, Ice T, Public Enemy, Edie Brickell, The Sundays, Dave Jerden, Hollywood Records, Alice In Chains, Jane’s Addiction, Megadeth, Guns N Roses.
