Good. Maybe they'll quit making records and touring. That guy with all the nails on his wrist cracks me up.

He's the drummer :lol:

The way you felt about Slayer was the way I felt about Venom back then.

Indifferent. Slayer is good and all, but highly overrated. If anything, I'd kill a member of Slayer if it brought Chuck Schuldiner back and had Death together and touring.

Kerry King looks like a dude I'd want to have a beer with, but I never did care for their music.

Tho only thing I like about Slayer is the awesome guitar rhythm work.
Yeah, drums are great, too.

I only have the live album "Decade of Agression".

I listen to them every once in a while but I'm not really interested what the dudes are called. I had to look up who Lombardo was.

I didn't know that Kerry had left the band. So, now he's wanting to rejoin? Or what? :?

Man, there were times when I knew every bit of information 'bout bands I liked but nowadays I just listen if I like it. Pretty often I don't even know who it is, unless it's a "bull's eye" regarding my favorite music styles.

Must be my age!
And no, I don't read music magazines anymore either.
I guess I'm just getting old! :lol:

Well, there is now no longer any reason to pay for a Slayer concert. Kerry King, continuing to be the biggest fuck-knuckle in metal.

I'd agree, barring Dave. Dave's the man. Also, as long as whatever Chuck does is vastly better than The Sound of Perseverance.




On the plus side, maybe now we get a new Fantomas album. :D

Lombardo was easily the most talented member of Slayer. Fantastic drummer. I heard he was fired over financial reasons

Statement From Dave Lombardo Regarding Slayer Australian Tour 2013

I want to personally apologize to all of our fans in Australia who have bought tickets for the tour expecting to see me in my usual place on the drums.

So that you all know the truth, as of the end of the business day on February 14th, I was notified that I would not be drumming for the tour in Australia. I’m saddened, and to be honest I am shocked by the situation.

Last year, I discovered 90% of Slayer’s tour income was being deducted as expenses including the professional fees paid to management, costing the band millions of dollars and leaving 10% or less to split amongst the four of us. In my opinion, this is not the way a band’s business should operate. I tried rectifying it by letting my band mates know, and Tom and I hired auditors to figure out what happened, but I was denied access to detailed information and the necessary back up documents.

I spent the Christmas and New Year holidays realizing I had toured all over the world in 2012, but yet, had not been paid (except a small advance) or provided a proper accounting for a full year's sweat and blood. On top of this, I was told that I would not be paid until I signed a long form contract which gave me no written assurance of how much or on what basis management would deduct commissions, nor did it provide me access to the financial budgets or records for review. It also forbade me to do interviews or make statements having to do with the band, in effect a gagging order.

Last Monday, I sat down with Kerry and Tom to rehearse for Australia and to propose a new business model that I felt was the best way forward for Slayer to confidently protect itself so we could do what we do best . . . play for the fans. Kerry made it clear he wasn’t interested in making changes and said if I wanted to argue the point, he would find another drummer. On Thursday, I arrived at rehearsals at 1 pm as scheduled, but Kerry did not show. Rather, at 6:24 pm I received an email from the lawyers saying I was being replaced for the Australian dates.

I remain hopeful that we can resolve our issues. But once again, I sincerely apologize to all of our fans in Australia who spent their money expecting to see the 3 of us original Slayer members.
I look forward to seeing you in the future.

Sincerely,
Dave Lombardo

Smells of corruption, someone has been scooping a lot of cream off the top.
