Asked about playing as part of the Big Four, Lombardo called it "exciting," saying: "Every time there's more in the pipe for us to play on. I, at least, am looking forward to hanging out with the other guys and doing these festivals that are amazing."

Lombardo also said that he leaves the much talked-about decades of dissension between Big Four band members to the groups' guitarists.
