Voivod Quotes

I started when I was about 12 or 13. I was playing Kiss and Alice Cooper and stuff like that. Then I discovered more intricate music like Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple and Rush. In 1980 when I heard the New Wave of British Heavy Metal like Iron Maiden and Motorhead and Judas Priest I wanted to give music a shot. All the way through I listened to punk rock and weird music like Killing Joke and Bauhaus. A big part of my drum style is the fact that I was obsessed with obscure kraut rock in the '70s.

It was everybody's first band. Piggy and I started jamming together in high school in 1979. It was our first project. It was about 1983 that we decided to call it Voivod when we hooked up with Blacky (former bassist) and Snake. That's when we started to develop the Voivod concept that I had created in my drawings when I was younger and we decided to develop it musically. We started from there.
