Pretty interesting news from Sepultura camp.
Asked in a new interview with the “Scars And Guitars” podcast, Sepultura bassist Paulo Xisto Pinto Jr talked about his bond with Cavaleras.
He said:
“Not at all. Zero. [Laughs] We just separated. Each one of us went to [his] own path.”
Addressing the possibility of a reunion with Max, Paulo said:
“I don’t know about the future, but right now — I don’t like to force the situation that’s not there anymore. If one day it comes to terms, it has to come naturally. So far, that hasn’t happened. But I really don’t bother and think about that too much anymore. That was 20 years ago. And I just keep going. You cannot make everybody happy in this world. The best thing [you can do is] learn from your mistakes and keep walking and try to do better in the future.”
On Derrick Green, Paulo said:
“It was not easy to replace — I never say ‘replace,’ but to fill someone else’s shoes after what we achieved back in the time.
“And I knew only time would make people think differently. And Derrick‘s been with us for 22 years, I believe, now, and it’s a long ways. I think he has grown up and really filled those shoes in a very good way, and I don’t think he has to prove anything to anybody else. And the new record [‘Quadra’] establishes this. It’s a big step, not only for him, but I think for all of us.”
