Guitarist Gary Holt (Slayer, Exodus) recently guested on 101 WRIF and discussed the Detroit rocker who inspired him to pick up a guitar, what's going on with Exodus, his keys to success, the vegan lifestyle, and Slayer's final tour. Check out the complete audio interview here.

On his favourite Slayer song to play live:

Holt: "It varies. Most people would automatically think 'Angel of Death' or something like that, but I don't know. I like some of the first album stuff: 'Black Magic,' 'Die By the Sword,' 'The Antichrist'..."

On his Kill The Kardashians T-shirt often seen on stage:

Holt: "I really don't like them. They're just really, really awful people. It's not even so much them - I can't stand that people are so fascinated by them. People have nothing better to do in their day than to watch TV shows or read about them and follow them on Instagram or Twitter or whatever and stare at their selfies and looking how fabulous they are. Don't you have something better to do? And I wanna kill that. I don't want to kill them. I just wanna kill their careers. I know that's not gonna happen."

By popular demand - with more than half the tour dates already either completely sold out or a sell-out imminent - Slayer recently announced Leg Two, North America, of its final world tour, set to kick off on Thursday, July 26th at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion in Gilford, NH.

The tour will travel to 20 cities over about five weeks, culminating at San Jose's SAP Center on August 26th. Lamb of God, Anthrax, Testament and Napalm Death will accompany the band on all dates. Log on to slayer.net for all ticket and package purchasing information.

A second North American leg for this tour had been considered to take place at some point down the line, but within 48-hours of the initial January 26th ticket on sale date, that all changed.

"We were blown away by the speed of sales for the final run," said Rick Franks, President of Touring for Live Nation, one of the tour's promoters. "Thirty-six years later and Slayer is bigger than ever before."

On January 22nd, 2018, Slayer announced that it would do one last concert tour around the globe to thank their fans for all of their support over the years, for making the last three-and-a-half decades so packed with good times and unforgettable experiences, and then move on.
