MetalSucks: Is it a point of pride for Testament to be part of this tour? This isn't some old-timers' nostalgia circuit, rather three vital bands all coming off monster albums.
Eric: Oh, totally! This isn't some reunion thing. This is old school music but f**king totally up-to-par. I don't know any newer bands that kick ass that could put together a package as vital as this. [You don't think] 'Oh okay. They have their greatest hits and their old s*** is cool.' No, every band on this bill � from us to Megadeth to Slayer � not only is our old s*** classic and not only did we all shape and form the blueprints to thrash metal in some way or form � Megadeth and Slayer being more at the forefront than us, though we definitely have our chops � it's like � right on the head. Boom.
MetalSucks: This tour can almost be looked at as an act of charity. So many people weren't old enough or maybe not in the right city to experience the thrash metal explosion.
Eric: Yeah. I think each band is better in a weird way. Even though we've all always been heavy, it just seems like everybody's really heavy now. We've gone full circle and all sound like our first three records. - Read the full interview at MetalSucks
