Dem's Be Fightin' Words: Raymond Herrera speaks about his verbal smackdown on Dino Cazares!

A couple weeks ago, I posted a brief spat between Divine Heresy/Fear Factory guitarist Dino Cazares and Arkaea drummer Raymond Herrera from Facebook that sounded quite childish and gay, but quite entertaining. Since then, I tried to make contact with both men to see where the animosity laid and why all the mudslinging, why couldn't these two spics just let bygones be bygones. Of the two, only Herrera responded to my query and here's what he said:





"you call it mudslinging, i call it being honest, the day it was official that i was not going to be in the band anymore, it felt like i had a huge weight lifted off my back, i could care less what burton c dumbell or fat ass have to say, i would explain the entire situation, but i heard that decibel magazine did a proper write up on the whole thing. there is no animosity at all from me end, i just refuse to have built a brand for twenty years only to see burt keep changing his mind and continously bringing the brand down by doing so.

"maybe you just didn't see what was going on when this all went down around 2002..here is a quick recap. dino and burt could not and would not get a long, they couldn't even be in the same room, then burt quit. roadrunner wouldn't accept the breakup, so i had to get burt back on board, but he would not with dino in the band, so i made an executive decision and had to fire dino, because burt didnt have the balls to do it himself, the only difference is that i sat down with dino and told him to his face that he was fired and why and how we could come to an agreement on how things would go moving forward.

"Burt on the other hand, makes a bunch of silly decisions and just gets rid of me and christian without a call or email or nothing, i heard from gene hoglan that he got a call from burt...there my friend, lies the difference, i have the balls to tell people how i feel, burt is too much of a fuckin pussy. your words are easier said than done my friend."


This round, so far, belongs to Ray-Ray!
