Kerry King

[The Great Cull]

Wasn't expecting that news. Nothing can stay dead it seems.

Live Undead.

Brain undead.

Bore Ensemble?

I feel betrayed. He dropped his chains chains on the stage, brahs, his chains!

On the plus side, I suppose it'll stop young lads from getting battered around Tralee for going out with "KERRY KING" written on their clothes.

I know two lads who paid to go to the States for their "last" show. I'd be damn pissed if that was me.

Must be getting obnoxious money for these shows!

Some of this is bringing me great joy. New level of stupid on Bostaph's Instagram where he was genuinely asked who's playing drums. 


My favourite though is the wives of Slayer, particularly Sandra Araya and Lisa Holt who categorically stated the band were over and there wasn't and I quote "a hope in hell of them ever reuniting on stage"  so to see them backflip, squirm, reconstruct statements and find angles where there are none is quite special indeed. Could be a good reality show there, the lads in Slayer hate each other and the wives even more so.

That quote is actually from Ayesha King, Kerry's wife. I don't think any of the other Slayer wives commented on the topic but it really doesn't matter. And yeah I don't think she gets along with Sandra as the 2 of them seem quite opposed on many topics (politics, guns laws, abortion, Trump, etc.)

Several things surprise me, the fact that they said 'never again' (ah the power of money!) and the timing with Kerry's new band going on tour promptly. I wonder if Slayer and Kerry King (the band) will be booked for the same festivals, would be weird for Kerry to open for Slayer 

I stumbled on something that resembles a statement from Kerry yesterday, in which he was saying that he wasn't approached by any band members about the reunion and knew nothing about it, couldn't get Tom to answers his calls and had his lawyers on the case. So basically saying it wasn't happening. It's either a fake statement or someone's lying as I don't see how the band could be booked for shows without his signature.

Both Bostaph and Holt have shared the official video release through the band's social media, I imagine they wouldn't do it if they weren't informed of those dates beforehand.

Must be weird for the other lads in Kerry's band finding out about this too, if I were them I'd definitely wonder where the priorities are and what it means for their band.

Ah they all offered up some version of it. I was just pointing out that Lisa and Sandra in particular seem like melts. Sandra spends the bulk of her time being a pain in the hole on the web and pissing people off with her ridiculous conspiracy theories and so forth.

Can't see that being the case, the partnership is King/Araya and Hanneman's estate. I'd be truely shocked if if they'd sidelined him.

Yes Sandra seems to enjoy trolling the internet with her ideas... I think John, Tom's brother and tech, is also a Trump afficionado, with its lot of fake news and other edited videos 'to reveal the truth'... A nice bunch of fun flat-earthers, sunday lunch must be a blast at the Arayas!

Yeah I can't see how it would be possible to book Slayer without Kerry's signature. That statement must be a fake, I took a screenshot but can't find anything online from a trustworthy source.

Interesting, I don't see them making more than a few dates in big US festivals, at least for this year with Kerry's new band touring schedule. Might become a yearly event, like a few shows here and there every summer.

Post-more-Trump, wha!

[The Great Cull]

They were certainly "Biden" their time to reform 

[Necro Red]

If they managed to get Lombardo back it would make it interesting. Doubt that will happen. Ah, sure good for their USA fans anyway being able to see them. Especially if you were a young lad getting into metal and they announced this.

[Circlepit]

I saw a post on instagram with KK saying he didn't know about this .
Also on his page there is no reference to the Slayer dates.
I hope this doesn't become a typical shit show with the name getting dragged through the muck.

I'd say Bostaph is cool with another payday.
