Dave Lombardo out
 

Dave Lombardo out of Slayer. Any thoughts?

Again? So is Paul Bostaph coming back?

Nope. Jon Ditte from Testament. Its all right here on this link.

WTF? So Kerry King doesn't care that he isn't really getting any money from touring? So does that mean that he's getting more than 25% or something?

I'm guessing that KK must be in on the deal in a better way. Why wouldn't you pay the guy that works harder then anyone in the band. Lombardo is just as big a name as King is in the thrash world, what a travesty. This is what happens when you go with big labels they stretch your funds and kill the lifeline to the money to begin with. I would hope they can still work something out, Lombardo is Slayer.

Thoughts


YAY NEW FANTOMAS ALBUM !!!!!!!!!!!

I'm guessing this is what happens when you stay in a band for decades and have no job skill other than playing an instrument so you just milk it for as long as possible to avoid flipping burgers. Sometimes I think that there should be some kind of government subsidy for people in bands that have achieved some kind of cultural relevance or critical acclaim so they don't have to do things like this.

Don't hold your breath Norg. Hes working on another side project PHILM.

Izzat the reason he's out? Was it the band's idea or DL's?

Forgive me if this was explained in a link I was too lazy to open...


"Edited to add: or too lazy to actually read the thread, n/m

It's terrible how Lombardo gets kicked out because he isn't getting paid enough, it's like Sabbath with Bill Ward again

The first link I posted has the reasoning. Apparently the band not just Lombardo is being fleeced for their tour money. Lombardo isn't alright with it so he got canned essentially. The second post has the link.

Slayer isnt that good anymore anywayz musically they havent aged well making the same albums over and over agian pisses me off sometimes

if Dave go out from the Salyer the quality of bands will fall , without doubt .

I'm usually in the minority on this but I loved World Painted Blood. I thought for a concept album it was pretty good. I thought the accompanying dvd was awesome also. I haven't always been happy with Slayers results on albums I thought God Hates us all was horrible. But overall I'll still give it up to Slayer and I think they have aged well, they're still the cornerstone of thrash metal to me.

I mean all of "The Big Four" have has there knocks to be honest, I'm in love with Metallica so I like everything by them but I know not many people liked "Load" and "ReLoad". Also everyone hated "St. Anger". Megadeth had trouble with "Cryptic Writings" and "Risk".

Without doubt, your language skills are decreasing with each post.

I never dug it that much, but I didn't really give it that many spins. It was definitely a disappointment after Christ Illusion though. And with one band member gone, another injured, and infighting going on, I think Slayer might be dead in the water.
