MP3.com: Is it getting harder as time passes maybe to get your energy up for live shows or touring?
Araya: No. No, you know, it doesn't because the music just kicks you in gear, just the vibe and the excitement and I'm a performer so then the nerves it's just like, "I hope I don't forget anything. I don't want to forget words," and just jitters, show jitters, I still get them. Some days are stronger than others. But I mean, it's like a nervous energy that you just kind of channel it. And that's what I do, I channel that nervous energy and it just it makes the set go by real quick. [Laughs.]
MP3.com: So there are no plans for retirement or anything like that?
Araya: No, not at the moment. I mean, at the moment we all still feel strong and capable. [Laughs.] It's the music that kind of carries you and the energy and then the crowd too, and then sometimes you have your off days, some days you have your great days, you have your bad days and we all have days like that. And we're no different. There are some times that that comes across onstage when you've just had a bad day and it's even coming across on stage that, man, you've just had a shitty day today. I, myself, feel really young at heart so I don't have any worries about anything. I'm serious, for the music that we do and the intensity that we play, we're all pretty much still young at heart.
