It's actually him hitting a chair..here's a pic of him & his *snare*:
Here's what he said to the SymX mailing list when he sent the url for the song:
Hi All--
I was bored tonight, and decided to have a little fun. I have constructed
my own personal tribute to that ultimate album of albums, St. Anger (that
was sarcastic, for those of you who aren't aware of my extreme disdain for
that record). I didn't use any actual riffs from the album, as I don't want
to get sued, but I did my best to make the riffs, arrangement, and
especially the production, as authentic to the spirit of St. Anger as I
could. I think it came out pretty cool.
It's kinda quiet, so make sure you CRANK it for full effect...
nope, i didn't go. i usually consider that kind of "cumulative gigs" too much expensive in relation to the number of bands i actually want to see. and too much of a stress, too.
i quite like transilvania (both the "normal" and the live one). but then again, that wasn't enough to go there
