When we chose "The Unauthorized Biography of Reinhold Messner" as the title for this album, we were unaware of the existence of a living, breathing, and famous Reinhold Messner. The name was part of a story from Darren's school days when a friend suggested using "Reinhold Messner" on fake ID's. Allegedly, there were many 27 year old Reinholds who looked suspiciously adolescent, inhabiting the bars of Charlotte, North Carolina in the late eighties.
Maybe we liked the name because it had an exotic ring; maybe we had been aware of the name subliminally; or maybe it was the energy behind a name responsible for some of the world's most incredible feats of mountaineering, and a global legion of inspired followers...at any rate we'd love to tell you we're just fucking cool and knew what we were doing, but alas, the credit goes to our cosmic collaborator on this album; coincidence. Thanks to Reinhold Messner for being a hero, and now a good sport.
