While "before they were stars" stories are a fun time, it's less fun if they're not true, and in the case of Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares, it's been debunked by the man himself.
Damn shame, too, as while I take no credit for this line, "Body Hammer" would be a hell of a porn star name. Never mind that a "Replica"-themed sex toy is right there on the table.
A couple of weeks ago, Cazares addressed the claims on social media, stating the following:
"This shit is to funny, first of all porn was never my career before during or after music. I appeared in the background of a couple of videos and I have dated girls in the adult industry but that’s it. There’s no video of me pounding and I don’t have a porn name. Have fun reading something that is not true"

He was asked directly in an interview with Rock Feed during this weekend's Aftershock Festival, in which he denied the rumors before being humorously pulled away by a cadre of women.
