Mettle

"We got to talking about having the image of a boxer on the cover. And then when it got to talking about the image of a boxer, well alright, how about George Chuvalo? Here's a Canadian icon who has had, I don't know the exact number but it's somewhere around 76 fights, professional fights, and he's never been knocked out. You know, been knocked down but never been knocked out. And then we had the opportunity to meet George, and we went to his house and he actually gave us the picture that we used on the cover from his personal collection. He's just such an awesome man and we were so taken by him that we went back again and recorded him talking, and we asked him a few questions -- interviewed him basically -- and we incorporated his answers into the last song on the record which is called Mettle. And George has had a lot of adversity in his life but through it all he holds his head high, and he's just... he's become a friend." [i]-Duncan, interview with Canada Rocks[/i]
