Everyone knew as soon as they called it a day they would be back so I don't understand why everyone is annoyed. The Kerry King stuff sounds shite. I am not a big fan of the last few Slayer albums but live they have been great like those shows when they did 2 nights in a row in the Academy.

I wasn't here for the last Irish show, I chose to go and see Bolzer the night they played the last show were I was because the Slayer show was an outdoor gig. I personally am happy with the chance now to see them again.

Real Housewives of Slayer Season 1 (in the abyss)

It will be an awful kick in the teeth for King if they are or can reform without him and its really taking the spotlight away from his solo thing, didnt go to see them on the final tour because the previous couple of times I had seen them I thought they seemed to be just going through the motions and had no real inteest.

To be fair Slayer had a decent ending.

Would have been great had Hanneman and Lombardo been there and then perfect after the Araya 'Little Punk People' Interview.

I'd say there is serious cash being fired at Araya and co.

Its just another nail in the coffin. Araya will be 63 at this gig, physically car crashes etc have taken their toll. Then there was the spine infusion. Think Araya's wife wasn't well and he is a grandfather now so maybe he's thinking 'coulpe of hundred k for this and then everyone is set up' fair enough.

Doubt they will do another tour. Give Araya 5 mins with King and he'll be retiring again.

On the good side Gary has had a 5 year time period to actually learn a Slayer lead other than the run down the High E and subsequent bend....this I am the least hopeful on!

Don't ask me for the source because it was years ago, but I seem to recall even when they did the farewell tour it was kind of stated that they were retiring from touring and recording but didn't rule out the odd gig further down the line? Also has anyone worked out which of these King quotes about the reunion is true, like the "I'm lawyering up" one or the "tis great to be back after not seeing the fans for 5 years" one?

God bless you Sandra

QuoteLet's clarify for the trolls: Tom was done with playing. I have harassed him for over a year. He agreed FINALLY. We shared that news with SLAYER's awesome managers and they did the rest! So yes without Tom it wouldn't have happened.. without me BUGGING HIM it wouldn't have happened. But go ahead with your drama! I however will be enjoying a few shows and I'm thankful he loves me and the fans enough to do this".

I can't believe Otto picked up a 7-10 split... he's phenomenal!

You're missing the point! The individual doesn't matter. It was a team effort, and I was the one who came up with the whole team idea! ME!





I was at the last show in Dublin, I thought they were great that night

Only ever saw them at Ozzfest 2002 (me first proper gig), had a ticket for the last gig in 2018, but my cousin decided to get married that day, the bastard  :laugh:

Lol, more shows trickling in.

I was fuckin delighted when ozzy cancelled tbh. Had a hangover by the time Tool came on though. Order of Malta tried putting me on a stretcher at about 1 o clock but luckily the brother saw what was going on and saved me. I also gave the cunt a haircut the night before and did the line at the back up real high. Dunno if I've ever laughed as hard before or since so I'm surprised he saved me.

Anyway enough reminisking, which is how I feel about both kerry King and the Slayer tour

Still pissed off I never picked up my replacement Ozzy ticket for Meatloaf or whoever it was.

Think Brian Adams and Coldplay were the other options.

Grand day. The bus up and back was a mouldy session.

I got a few of them and sold them on. Don't think it was Coldplay though. Def Meatloaf and Byran Adams. I think the third one was a female.

I was thinking it was Santana and ub40 but that might have been the replacement for the Pantera ticket.

I remember trying to watch Slayer and Mushroomhead at the same time by standing at the door of the indoor stage because it was pissing down while Slayer were on.
