Why is Michael Pinnella credited with knife and chainsaw juggling on the ‘Twilight in Olympus’ album? What’s the story there?

MICHAEL ROMEO — It was the week we started recording the basic tracks, we were at Trax East waiting for Mike P. to show up, we hadn’t heard from him for a few days…so when he showed up, he had a cast and a million bandages on his hand. He had severed three tendons in his right hand with a knife. It seemed that he was doing some handy work around his house and was a bit reckless with a butter knife….?!?!? He managed to get through the recording and has recovered fine.

MICHAEL PINNELLA — Yes…well, about the credits… it’s kind of a joke. I did almost cut off my 4th and 5th fingers with a knife and was in the hospital for a few days.
