5 years after their ultimate tour, Slayer has reunited for appearances at each Louder Than Life and Riot Fest. The band is precisely the identical as their 2019 lineup, which means you may see bassist and vocalist Tom Araya, guitarists Kerry King and Gary Holt, and drummer Paul Bostaph again on stage simply as they had been.
And for each person who’s excited in regards to 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 of us – do not go see Slayer.
“Sure, it is true..and an thrilling journey for the band and followers !” wrote Holt. “To all of the folks saying ‘they’re liars’ ‘they should have ran out of cash’ ‘its not Slayer with out so and so’ ..I’ve an thought 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’ll be able to’t presumably know. so simply take pleasure in the truth that this superb band will play some superb reveals this 12 months…go or do not..no person cares!!!!!”
An argument may be made both method about Pantera being Pantera with their present lineup, however saying the reunion is not Slayer is certainly not true. Araya and King are founding members, Bostaph has been there on and off since 1992, and Holt bought on board as an official member in 2013 (after touring with Slayer for 2 years). And very similar to Pantera, it is the identical factor – when 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 folks being pissed that they had been at Slayer‘s ultimate reveals after which they weren’t ultimate.
As for the entire “it is simply pageant dates and never a tour” bit, we’ll see. We additionally heard that about Pantera once they first introduced they’d be performing some reveals.
