Buddyhead: What does Nu-metal mean to you?
Tom: Well, none of that stuff is really metal to me. Metal to me is what came out of the start between 1980 and 1985. Like all those bands were doing something awesome, and then they started doing something different.
Buddyhead: Like Exodus.
Tom: Oh yeah, they were awesome, and then they started doing something different. I don't know what it is.
Buddyhead: Like when they started writing songs like "Toxic Waltz".
Tom: They were awesome though, the first shows we played outside of L.A. were with Exodus in San Francisco. Then there was Metallica and Anthrax. Anthrax kind of always stuck to what they did, even on their newer albums.
Buddyhead: Are there any current bands that you like?
Tom: I don't get a chance to listen to much. The only bands that I listen to are when people say, "You should really check out this band". When I hear it from like four or five people, than I'll listen to it. Disturbed isn't bad. Mudvayne.
