There's a reason Dave Grohl invited Wino on board his all-star Probot project alongside metal icons Lemmy, King Diamond and Max Cavalera. It's the same reason Wino was recruited to play guitar beside Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and Rob Halford on a piledriving update of Black Sabbath's the Wizard. And when Mastodon took Wino's current band, the Hidden Hand, on tour in 2005, you can be sure the rationale was no different. It's because, in the words of Fugazi's Ian McKaye, 'Wino's a legend.' And the legend began with The Obsessed.
