Slayer responds to Dave Lombardo

Slayer has responded to Dave Lombardo’s post regarding his outage from Australian Tour 2013.

Slayer confirms that Jon Dette (Testament) will drum for the band on its Australian tour that starts this Saturday, February 23 in Brisbane.

As regards Dave Lombardo’s Facebook post, Slayer does not agree with Mr. Lombardo’s substance or the timeline of the events, except to acknowledge that Mr. Lombardo came to the band less than a week before their scheduled departure for Australia to present an entirely new set of terms for his engagement that were contrary to those that had been previously agreed upon.

Umm, by saying Slayer, it is Kerry King.

Slayer is grateful to its Australian fans for their understanding of this unfortunate last-minute change, and very much looks forward to seeing them at these shows.

Translation: “Come see two original members of Slayer plus Gary holt of Exodus and former drummer of Slayer playing Slayer songs.

Kerry King can’t afford to lose Tom Araya. Should Araya leave Slayer, then it would be KKP; Kerry King Project.

SLAYER?!
