“The only difference with me now is I can't headbang anymore as I have a plate," Araya adds. "I can’t do that which is a bum out. That’s something I enjoy doing, and now I can't. It's an internal struggle, you know what I mean? I can still go out there and scream my ass off, and play a mean bass and smile a lot.”
