We got off the Clash of the Titans tour and I said that my wife and I were working on having a baby and sure enough we found out that she was pregnant. So I told them nine months in advance that I wasn't going to tour in September so I could witness the birth of my first son.

You're at the hotel and after that you go to the venue and sit there and wait.

When I look back, it was a strange period in my life, looking at my childhood and then my teenage years and forming Slayer when I was still 17, not out of high school.

I'm doing a lot of touring and things have been really busy for me.

I'm really not into the educational aspect of performing. It's not in me.

There's a lot of down time on the road. That part of it I really don't enjoy. There's nothing to do.

Mike Patton is a genius... It is definitely the hardest music I've ever played.
