I must say this is certainly an enlightening interview. Particularly Spitz's comments about Joey and the way Among The Living was recorded/mixed.

Pffft, a bunch of arseholes on Blabbermouth take everything out of context on the basis of the article's headline and a fairly innocuous interview gets blown out of all proportion.

"You said bad stuff about Darrell! Our Darrell! How dare you? He's dead! You coward! He's the best guitarist in the history of Metal! Fuck you Spitz you...you Christian!"

Oh no, Ian and Benante had a respected guitarist come in to play a bunch of leads and solos that had already been written. Horror of it all.

You mentioned religion earlier, you're now a reborn christian, how did that happen?

I'm 197 billion percent jewish by blood, so I was blind to Jesus or christianity completely. Maybe the last year before I left the band was a time of change for me, where heavy metal was becoming a disgusting feeling for me in addition to losing my love for the guitar. As I found Jesus, certain things were not right in my environment, drinking, drugs, women, but whatever it may have been around me, not good. It just happened, a lot of my friends I grew up were christians, my friend at that time was a christian and christianity for me is reading the bible and talking straight to God, nobody with a collar in between. If you can find it and you know it's real, then you know that there really is something else out there that created us. After that I found that a lot of people in heavy metal are just like me, but very quiet. Me and Dave [Mustaine] and Dave's wife, Pam, have talked many times, all the time, that's why this last tour with Megadeth was wonderful for the two of us, quite different for the other guys in my band. They don't even ask a question, all of a sudden Dan's in Dave's dressing room praying and Dave has a preacher, a pastor, on the road, and we're in there praying. When they're getting ready to go on stage they call to come in and pray, so this is all weird. My band doesn't even ask a question, and this is okay, it's the way we deal with it. I don't wanna push anything on anyone, people should just know my beliefs and that there are many people in some of the darkest bands you'd ever believe who know what is right, that there is a one true living god and you can speak to him anytime you want. That's basically it. For me because I'm jewish, I had no preconceived notion of what's in the New Testament, we have the Old Testament.


Traitor.

And ha! he married a Playboy model.

Ummmm, Okay.

Those solos that Dimbag played on Stomp 442 sound like something Dimebag would write, and don't sound like Dan Spitz's style at all. And Paul Crook only played lead on two songs, Charlie and Scott split time on the rest. I smell a very delusional person here.
