KERRY KING Doesn’t See Too Many SLAYER Reunion Shows Happening

Slayer has three reunion reveals arising this September and October on the Riot Fest, Louder Than Life, and Aftershock festivals. And also you higher go see ’em at a kind of festivals, as a result of Slayer is not making this a yearly factor.

In an interview with Classic Rock History, Slayer guitarist Kerry King mentioned it’s going to be good to see his former bandmates, however notes that these reunion reveals will probably be few and much between.

“It is not likely a lot completely different in any respect,” mentioned King. “It is the identical heads, similar cabs, similar pedals, similar guitars. You recognize, there will probably be quite a lot of hearth when Slayer performs, and I believe, yeah, these reveals will simply be enjoyable. It’s going to be enjoyable to play with Gary Holt for a couple of gigs; I have not seen him in nearly 5 years, in order that will probably be cool. And it will be cool to get along with Tom Araya and spit some hate out at individuals, however do not get used to this being a yearly occasion.”

King beforehand tamped down expectation of any excursions or a brand new Slayer album in an interview with Steel Hammer, noting: “It is not going to translate into recording, and it isn’t going to translate into touring. For me, it is three reveals marking 5 years since our last reveals, a enjoyable, ‘Hey, keep in mind us from earlier than the pandemic?’ celebration.”

And actually, is not having a couple of Slayer reveals right here and there extra particular than a reunion tour that hits your state perhaps twice per yr? Possibly Misfits acquired it proper – make an enormous spectacle out of each single reunion present, go quiet for just a little, rinse and repeat. Which particularly works for Slayer‘s Kerry King, now that he is acquired his personal solo profession cooking.
