Dave Lombardo interviewed by 'Geeks Of Doom'
Tuesday, May 31st 2011
Dave Lombardo was recently interviewed by "Geeks Of Doom", a website dedicated to "geek" things e.g. videogames, movies etc. A few excerpts from the interview:

Geeks of Doom: All the Big Four bands seem to be pretty relaxed, you're all very successful and, despite what the press might claim, you said you all get on very well. But what do you think the Big Four tour would have been like 20 or 25 years ago when rivalries were a bit stronger?

Dave Lombardo: I can't really speak for anybody else but there was never any rivalry from myself with the bands. I never had issues with any of them. I'm sure maybe with other guitar, er, musicians within the bands, maybe, of course there would have been. Twenty years, god, you can imagine the egos and the arrogance and attitude most musicians carry around with them when they haven't grown up.

Geeks of Doom: How did you feel watching your bandmates during your years away from the band?

Dave Lombardo: I never watched them! [laughs] I was happy for them; "yeah, just go on." I was doing my own thing, it never really bothered me. I was happy where I was at and they were doing their own thing and it was good.
