"No. That's it. I'm done now," Lombardo told Metal Hammer. "I've got lots of other things on my plate and I now know that, when it comes to money, you don't have any friends in this business. I won't ever be going back."

Lombardo discussed how the chemistry with the other band members had become before he left the group, "We just saw each other before going onstage every night. You travel in different buses and hang out in different circles. It made it very hard to go onstage and have any sort of chemistry."
