Kerry feels that because Dave was out of the band before that they can go on without him. And that all there really needs to be is Kerry and Tom...

That is Sepultura type thinking...

^^ LOL

In all seriousness, fuck Kerry King. I don't care what his side of the story is.

Slayer hasn't been good in 20 years or so, but to do that to one of metal's absolute best drummers because he sees a problem in the band's finances is inexcusable. I'll say it again, fuck Kerry King.

"SLAYER confirms that Jon Dette 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. The band was unable to reach an agreement on these new demands in the short amount of time available prior to leaving for Australia. There is more to the account than what Mr. Lombardo has offered, but out of respect to him, SLAYER will not be commenting further. 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."

Well looking at the brightside.... they may play some Undisputed Attitude tracks

....but that is just really lametarded. Dave Lombardo brings all the energy into Slayer. I'm sure they can still do a great show, but come on... COME ON, it's Dave FUCKING Lombardo. I am so happy I got to see Slayer on that Rob Zombie tour, just in case.

The internal dynamics in Slayer seem terrible. Tom has gone on record saying he doesn't like touring and basically does it only for the money, Kerry pretty much says he doesn't even talk to Jeff and doesn't seem to even care if he comes back, and now Lombardo gets ousted.

Not good.

Glad I'm not the only one who at least kind of dug World Painted Blood. As ridiculous as bits of it are ("Murder is my future, killing is my future" seriously Kerry?) I felt like it was a pretty solid Slayer album through and through. I pick it over Diablous, Christ Illusion, and God Hates Us All for sure.

Yep.

They're still my all-time favorite metal band, but it's probably time to hang it up.

Glad I got to see them in their prime and saw them 18 times total. I've seen them with every member and replacement member other than the guy from Cannibal Corpse.
