Slayer Announces Shocking Reunion 

That's exactly what I thought

Right? Hes irrelevant to me now

Tom never told him apparently, assuming he may not be apart of it

took the words rite out my mouth

He was trolling

agreed people don't realize how much of a pain it is to tour and never see family so I can understand as band's get to certain ages they need to chill and take a time off :)

If I was being cynical I would point out that advertising a tour as a "farewell tour" is a good way to sell extra tickets.

I don't think it's going to be a Crue thing

This isn't a new thing...

And that’s a good thing

Danzig said the same thing. Pushing 80 years old, touring is over. Just handful shows here and there. Got another Misfits gig this year! 💀

Totally agree 👍

🤘🏻

@@SerpentStar_ Dude He was born in 23 June 1955. lol So he's 68 not 80. I had to look to confirm as I was like there's no way he's that old yet. lol

C’mon guys. Look at the Rolling Stones. Decades as a band in studio and on the road, Keith Richards is 75 and still going hard. Mick Jagger is 80 and still up on stage movin’ and groovin’

I'm glad for you to mate I won't miss riot fest

Vegas isn’t for me but I’d go for that!

ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY! Without Dave, I really don't care.

Bostaph is awesome.

You obviously don't know that history of slayer lol He was out of the band st least once in the 80s and from the early 90s untill early 2000s and he was out of the band for the last several years before the " retirement '.

Fakers! They sold a farewell tour just for money. EVERYTHING was planned from the beginning, it is a vile marketing and manipulation move that Eloy Casagrande does not want to participate in with Sepultura because he knows that is Sepultura's plan: “farewell” tour and after a couple of years return to the road .

Agree 100%! Needing a vacation, even an extended one, from touring is completely understandable. That said, a few years ago Keith Richards was asked about retiring and basically said, to do what? Go somewhere and wait for death? He said he never wanted to do anything else but music, doesn’t have any other skill set but music and is still healthy enough to play music…so his “long haul” ends when he does.

Exactly! This is why I didn't feel pressured to see them on their so-called "farewell tour". I knew they'd be back!

@@tonyjones1560 amazing that Keith Richards is still healthy enough to do anything lmao

@@melchior2678 Very true! If there’s such a thing as guardian angels, Keef had a couple of battalions watching over him…

Mate, he left before slayer “retired” he will never come back

They messed with each other for like thirty something years. I can't stand anyone I've known that long never mind playing in a band with them 😅

Dave would make Slayer a headlining arena act. They’re just going to go back to playing clubs unless they decide to co headline. Maybe with this current Pantera or Lamb of God. Who knows

I saw him playing with Testament last year and honestly, he looked like he was having fun.

Part of it was money wasn’t it? I reckon the fans could put up a million in no time

The 350 after fees for four days in Kentucky is totally worth it

@@anthonyfrontczak9687 $350 to see a bunch of bands decades past their prime in Kentucky of all places? It's insanity what people do for live music today.

@Richmondthefish Been to festivals all over the country and Louder than Life in Louisville is hands down the best, and outside Motley Crue all these bands sound great live still and I for one love some of them are still going strong, but to each their own. And BTW single day passes to riot fest usually like 100 bucks.

So don’t drink? You’re paying for a literal poison lol

​@@anthonyfrontczak9687 $100 is way to high for any of these days. like i said, people are too used to overpaying for nostalgia acts that they think it's a good deal. modern festivals are the old country buffet of concert experiences.

I drove for nearly an hour to get his autograph about two years after Slayer closed up shop. Gary Holt is a cool dude!

I do too but it’s gonna be Paul Bostaph.

Yeah it would be much cooler if Lombardo was back too, no disrespect to Bostaph... he's really good too.

Cry to someone else Paul bostaph is amazing

​@@paulshutt7787that's a matter of opinion sure he's amazing but Dave kicks his ass playing drums no contest period

Dave Lombardo was/is the most talented member in Slayer as far as his musical ability on his particular instrument. Jeff Hannamen RIP would be next along with Tom. Kerry is a good guitar player but nowhere near the level of a Marty Friedman or a Alex Scolnik. Kerry should have paid Dave more $$.

Yep, and Kerry is the a$$.

​@@Tapp-Mourningwood Kerry needs to stop. Araya and the other members are older and tired. They've paid their dues and became the most (IMO) influential metal band in the last 40 years. They have families and deserve rest. King is a LIFER (as we called them in the military). He can't let go. He needs to seek therapy to help him realize his career has come to an end.

@@Tapp-Mourningwood why all the hate for Kerry? Just because it's trendy lol

@@melchior2678 Because he screwed over Dave Lombardo AND because it's trendy.

@@Tapp-Mourningwood he gave Dave the opportunity to play with Slayer. How is that screwing him?

Dave unfortunately had a falling out with the band. I don't think he would be interested in joining after all the drama

Horrible take, Slayer at this point is Kerry and Tom.

Get over it

Ain't happening my dude.

Paul has been in band as long as Dave was

I would imagine Tom and Kerry are making 100k at least each show. Not bad to play on stage a combined 3 hours for two shows. Maybe a week of practice if that prior. I will be seeing Kerry open up for Lamb of God and Mastodon. Kerry's bank account will be happy in 2024.

This is how “they” got Motley Crue out of retirement so fast. If my faulty memory serves, they swore they’d never perform publicly as a band again. I actually think they were serious until a nine figure offer (by one account) came in… I don’t blame them, even though not even John 5 would get me to buy a ticket.

@@tonyjones1560 A "nine figure offer"?!? That's at least $100,000,000. Not worth it. Unless we are talking Zimbabwean dollars instead of U.S. dollars...and even that would be too much.

@@SpiritOfOrange They were offered a massive amount of money to come out of retirement, something very well “north” of $20 million…even if it wasn’t $100 million, and I said that because I recall hearing that. But…I agree with you 1000%. Crue is a shadow of what they were (even with John 5 in the lineup, I have crazy respect for him). I have no desire to see them now.

I'm glad to see them reuniting. But not at this awful festival with all these terrible bands. Tom Morello? Offspring? Sum 41? Please who wants to see that garbage?

Thanks IRS

@@thomasdaddio741 were they ever signed to IRS records?

$666?

😂😂😂@@Tapp-Mourningwood

@@Tapp-Mourningwood plus tax and service fees which means its not actually 666 😅

@@melchior2678 It's whatever the taxes and service fees are added that totals to $666.🫠

@GuitarDeuce....when Jeff died and Kerry and Tom kick Dave out over money that's when slayer died.

seen your whole list of bands mostly during the clash of the titans tour and seen them in both small arenas and big venues, and both in and out doors, seemed the best and most violent pits were always inside when i seen slayer and that was when jeff was still alive, never seen a show in person since his passing. metallica seen both the black albulm tour and the and justice for all tour, anthax does a real good job live as well, just wish I could of seen other bands like exodus, testament, hatebreed but never got the chance but at least got to see dimebag play with pantera while he was alive outdoors for both ozzfest and the great southern trend kill shows and he was awesome, megadeth heard dave isnt as good now live since his bout with throat cancer but they were a great show too.

No we don’t! Sausage fingers is only interested in money they the Kiss of thrash. They play the same song for 25 years boring AF. Show no mercy thru Divine after that they sucked

Only reason why they are coming back is because of $$$$... just give them enough $$$$ and they will be back.

BEST NEWS IN THE WORLD!! BEST BAND IN THE WORLD!!!!😎🤟🤟🤟🤟

I pretty much stopped following them after Jeff passed but ya, I hear ya

​@@samundenYou missed out on an extremely mediocre Repentless album.

Yup

I think they will, eventually. Not sure about any extensive touring. Maybe Tom has a new perspective after four years off. Maybe he doesn’t. Time will tell…

Slayer are back 🙌 that made my day

Dave had a falling out with tom and kerry

Dave ain’t coming back unfortunately

​@@TobikunOuOjust Dave him and Arya are cool with each other just not with politics lol

I saw them on their Final Tour and they had plenty of "thunder" there.

It’s gonna be Bostaph on drums.

I see Slayer shirts all the time. They could never do a show again and still be able to sell shirts.

I bet that is the case or one off shows, nothing that requires Tom traveling in a bus. I have no doubt he is done with that part of band life.

A lot of that stuff is like WWE.

He just said he hasn't talked to him wasn't meant to be negative

Same I don't think Kerry would ever play with Tom again either. Don't think they get along that well

They are still brothers

Money talks

​@@thomasdaddio741correct. It's not Slayer anymore

It's more comparable to the Pantera situation.

Precisely.

Your opinion pretty sure there's a bunch of people that don't mind it at all, also this is absolutely nothing like the pantera situation, pantera the 2 founding members aee dead and they disbanded in the early 2000's Slayer only retired a few years ago

​@andrewcanoy1708 nothing like the Pantera situation, are you actually thick? Seems it

I disagree. Slayer aren't doctors, or school teachers why would they want to retire? It's like a free vacation and they get paid to play music, see a bunch of t!tt!es, and drink liquor lol. That's NOT a job the average man wants to retire from...

Did you say air b n b in your front yard, lol

Thank you!

Kiss is loaded

@@winstonwolffyes they are

how crazy is it that still having millions but not as much anymore is considered 'money running out' hell I'd give my right arm for a million bucks right now

Kiss went and came back from the farewell stint ONE time. Now they're a few months off of their second time doing it, but Gene Simmons is like 74. I think they're done. Love when people reference something they know nothing about it and it gets likes 😂

Yea its such bull
