In an interview on Hatebreed's Jamey Jasta radio show, Mastodon guitarist and vocalist Brent Hinds addressed his statement from last year, when he said he didn't like heavy metal. The host questioned whether Hinds disliked Judas Priest. Hinds replied:
"Judas Priest isn't Metal, folks. It's Rock N' Roll. Does anyone with a brain and who's sober really think Judas Priest is a Metal band?" The interviewer replies , "Well, what about Painkiller?"
Hinds responded: “To me, that’s Hard Rock N’ Roll. I don’t believe in that. I’ve heard all of Judas Priest’s songs, I’ve toured with them, I know them personally, they’re incredible people. And they really think of themselves as Metal Gods, like Halford says “I am a Metal God”. And that’s weird to say, but whatever. Like, just don’t say it, it’s weird when you say it.”
