"Mariachi", cut character from MGS1 ?

Here's what I found in some MGS1 FAQ :

Official UK Playstation Magazine (issue 45)
Interviewer : Was there anything in particular that didn't make it into the game?
Kojima : There was another character, Mariachi. He was an analyst and every time you fight you were supposed to talk to this guy first and he'd tell you the best way to defeat your enemy. And every time you asked for this guy he sang a song (laughs).

Interviewer : What sort of music was that?
Kojima : It was Spanish. Like with a Flamenco guitar? It was, um, ridiculous (more laughter).

Sounds a bit like a fake to me, but I'd like to know if someone who owns (or read) the magazine could (in)validate it ?

I've been looking for that quote for so long, you wouldn't believe it! I starting to forget if I read it in a genuine interview at all.

I can look for my copy of the magazine, but there's no promises that it hasn't been thrown out.
