So, Blabbermouth posted a new interview with Max Cavalera that was conducted by Sweden's Rocksverige.se and it featuring so many choice quotes about Max's take on American culture, I thought I'd share
Max loves American football:
Well, I learned to like American football. I've become a fan of that. It's quite different from soccer, but quite addictive once you get to know it. I didn't like it at first. because the game stops too much. I used to hate it when I first moved to America. I was so against it and I couldn't even watch it. It's hard with baseball too. and I still hate baseball.
He really hates baseball, so much so, he had to tell baseball Hall of Famer and heavy metal fan Randy Johnson<:
Baseball sucks! And golf? Golf is so boring. There was this big baseball player, Randy Johnson, and he came to see Sepultura on the "Roots" tour. He was very famous and very tall and he actually won the 2001 series with the Diamondbacks. The week they won, Soulfly was playing and he came to the soon to get autographs and so on. A nice guy, but I still don't like baseball and I told him that. I said, "It's great meeting you and I'm honored, but I hate baseball." And he just said, "It's all good, man! I don't care."
Why would he even bring that up? On a more positive note, Max loves Vegas:
A lot of stuff in America is cool, like water parks and [Las] Vegas. Vegas is so crazy and wild. It's a beautiful country, it really is. We live in the Southwest and there's mountains and then you have California and the ocean. We've toured a lot in the States, so we've gotten to know the country quite good. I like Colorado too. It's probably one of my favorite places. I'm still Brazilian though.
Max considers America home now, and not Brazil:
It's good to go back [to Brazil], but it doesn't feel like home anymore. Home is actually Phoenix. That's where I feel at home.
Max has been living here for, what, 20 years now? Makes sense. My parent's place doesn't feel like home, and I've been gone for about 10 years.
