Dave Lombardo Quotations

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

You will in the future hear me on a pop album, but that's just the experimental side of 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.

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

Dude, I love playing drums, and I love being on stage, and I love recording. It's my life... it's been my life, all my life, and I don't think it could ever become boring for me.

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

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.

Every job has its downside. For example, being in a band the travel part of it - getting picked up from your house in a car, going to the airport, getting on a plane, going from the airplane to a van, then going from the van to a hotel.

There was a bit of a readjustment period because I didn't know what it was going to be like. I didn't know what was happening, how it was going to be, how it was all going to feel. As time went on it was great. Everything felt good so we decided to go with it.

Right now we're in the process of writing new material for a new record.
