Tornetta also turned up in videos drumming at the legendary former New York club CBGB with his now-defunct metal band "Dawn of Correction", which described its sound as "a swift kick to the face with a steel-toed work boot."

"I was in a band for seven years. It was a death metal band. People either loved us or they hated us. Or they thought we were okay. A lot of bands have intense names, like "Rigor Mortis" or "Mortuary". We weren't that intense—we called ourselves "Injured". Later on we changed it to "Acapella" when we were walking out of the pawn shop." - Mitch Hedberg

I love his humor. Fuck, that’s such a well-crafted joke. RIP.
