In talking to a few of my pals, one question keeps popping up; what the hell is up with Slayer? Well, there has been some in-fighting, there’s been a death in the family, egos may have got a bit out of control, and they have a brand new record coming very soon. And, they are on tour with 2 new dudes in the band. Kerry King may be a bit off his rocker, but I’m sure he still knows all them riffs, so I’m alright with that – he could dress up like a Star Trek geek on his spare time, I don’t care as long as he shows up with his spike armband and fucks me up with his riffage. Also, as long as Tom is screaming I will always dig slayer.
Yes, I love Dave Lombardo, but I’m also a bit sick of his bullshit and am passed it. Losing Jeff sucks hard, as he always had a bit of a hardcore/punk rock edge to him, but I’m sure the riffage has been passed on to the next guy. None of us know, though. So, if you get the chance to be in Mountainview this coming Sunday for the big Rockstar Drink Megaplex thingy, then please do, and maybe tell us what you thought of the ‘new’ Slayer. Plus, friggin’ King Diamond will be there, and that’s pretty cool or rad or whatever they say in Mountainview, CA. – FATS
