It was recently revealed that Nick Mason was to be interviewed by a
guest editor for the UK drumming magazine "Rhythm". Mike Portnoy, who
drums for Dream Theater (the band that recently released a DVD of their
live version of Pink Floyd's Dark Side Of The Moon) has now been
talking about his assignment for the publication.
Portnoy said: "I am honored to
have been asked to play 'guest editor' for this upcoming issue and I
was given the opportunity to pick four drummers to interview that were
influences on me and help shape me as a drummer in my formative years.
"The four guys I ended up
choosing were Neil Peart, Nick Mason, Bill Bruford and Lars Ulrich.
(For those of you knowing my love for THE BEATLES and wondering...yes I
did have Ringo on my initial list as well, but Rhythm had just recently
done a piece with him, so he was scratched off...)
"All four guys were totally accomodating, totally cool and totally happy to be on board for the project.
On his interview with Nick: "Next
up was Nick Mason who was in town to play 'Dark Side of the Moon' live
with Roger Waters. I met with him in his dressing room at Madison
Square Garden and we chatted for about an hour about stuff ranging from
Syd Barrett to performing 'The Wall' live.
"After we did a photo session
together (as I did with Neil as well, by the way), he invited me up to
the stage to sit with him at his kit for souncheck. I must admit it was
a pretty surreal experience sitting up there with him and Roger while
they ran through 'Shine On You Crazy Diamond' and 'Comfortably Numb'.
Once again, the fanboy in me struck as I just had to have Nick and
Roger sign my vinyl copy of 'The Wall'...as it is my favorite album of
all time!
Due to hit the UK stores at the
end of December, the magazine is also available in selected countries
as an import. Hopefully we'll have details of the mail order
possibilities shortly...
