In an interview with The Quietus, Tom Araya (Slayer) had some interesting things to say about Megadeath frontman Dave Mustaine

“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)”

The Quietus: What is the burning issue between Megadeth and Slayer?

Araya: “There isn’t really a burning issue. The thing is he talks a lot of shit — then he apologizes for it, then he continues. Did you see ‘Some Kind of Monster’? That should give you some kind of idea how he is!”

Slayer will release ‘World Painted Blood’ on November 3rd while Megadeth release ‘Endgame’ on September 14th.
