He was nonetheless working his way back from neck surgery to repair a pinched nerve at that point. Doctors told him that it was his own deal to heal. He healed and was back on stage three months post-surgery touring with Motorhead, Slipknot and Anthrax.
"If everyone says metal does not take a physical toll, properly, my skeletal structure would beg to differ," Araya says. "I do not head bang like I used to. It's taken a toll on my neck," he says. Araya just isn't the only pioneering metal artist to possess wellness issues. Araya says Metallica's James Hetfield had surgery because of a similar injury.
"Mine was front, his was within the back," he says.
Megadeth's Dave Mustaine also has continual chronic pain troubles.
"When we all see each other we generally finish up asking 'Who is your doctor? Who's your neck guy?' " Tom Araya says.
Following this tour, Araya says that the future is uncertain for Slayer, but does not want fans to have worries about it. They won't be playing any of the new songs on this tour that they've been functioning on with drummer Paul Bostaph, who replaced Lombardo, who was fired in February.
"At the end of this tour we will determine how we'll continue," says Araya. "We still haven't had a likelihood to talk concerning the business of Slayer, so that will come about."
