5 years after their last tour, Slayer has reunited for appearances at both Louder Than Life and Riot Fest. The band is precisely the identical as their 2019 lineup, that means you will see bassist and vocalist Tom Araya, guitarists Kerry King and Gary Holt, and drummer Paul Bostaph again on stage simply as they have been.
And for each individual that’s excited concerning the Slayer reunion, there’s somebody that is not too thrilled that they are already again. Gary Holt’s spouse Lisa Holt has some recommendation for these people – do not go see Slayer.
“Sure, it is true..and an thrilling journey for the band and followers !” wrote Holt. “To all of the individuals saying ‘they’re liars’ ‘they will need to have ran out of cash’ ‘its not Slayer with out so and so’ ..I’ve an concept for you all…DON’T GO.. and for all of the individuals who did go to the ultimate tour dates and loved it…superior!!
“This is not a ‘TOUR’ it is some dates..and GREAT NEWS!!!” she added. “And everybody that thinks they know all the within information..you may’t probably know. so simply take pleasure in the truth that this superb band will play some superb exhibits this yr…go or do not..no person cares!!!!!”
An argument will be made both manner about Pantera being Pantera with their present lineup, however saying the reunion is not Slayer is unquestionably not true. Araya and King are founding members, Bostaph has been there on and off since 1992, and Holt received on board as an official member in 2013 (after touring with Slayer for 2 years). And very like Pantera, it is the identical factor – in the event you do not wanna go see Slayer, no person’s twisting your arm. There are about 100 different bands at these festivals. Although I do get individuals being pissed that they have been at Slayer‘s last exhibits after which they weren’t last.
As for the entire “it is simply competition dates and never a tour” bit, we’ll see. We additionally heard that about Pantera after they first introduced they’d be doing a little exhibits.
