Following up on our recent story about the big four Thrash bands touring together, Tom Araya was recently interviewed by the Quietus and had some choice words for one Mr. Mustaine:
How did the tour with Megadeth go? And was there any evidence of a rift between Slayer and Dave Mustaine?
TA: You know I ran into him on two occasions, but when you see someone and if you’re a human being you respect them and treat them as human beings — they’re another living person. Other than that the only thing we shared was that we did those four shows together. You know what I mean…nothing’s really changed for me about him, I’m just waiting for him to open his mouth. [Laughs]
Yes but what is the issue?
TA: What was that?
What is the burning issue between Megadeth and Slayer?
TA: There isn’t really a burning issue; the thing is he talks a lot of shit — then he apologizes for it, then he continues [talking shit]. Did you see Some Kind of Monster? That should give you some kind of idea how he is!
Damn, can Mustaine get along with anybody? All these egos are just constantly clashing. I guess it's making for some great content for this site. Thus, keep talking Mustaine, we love ya for it! But seriously, this Big 4 tour NEEDS to happen!
