KERRY KING Is Looking Forward To SLAYER Reunion Shows - "It’ll Be Cool To Get Together With Tom Araya And Spit Some Hate Out At People, But Don’t Get Used To This Being A Yearly Event"
May 29, 2024, 7 months ago
Slayer are set to reunite for for three US dates this year - Chicago's Riot Fest (September 20-22), Louisville's Louder Than Life, and Sacramento's Aftershock (October 10).
Speaking with ClassicRockHistory.com, Kerry King shared his outlook on the upcoming shows, stating: "It's not really much different at all. It’s the same heads, same cabs, same pedals, same guitars. You know, there will be a lot of fire when Slayer plays, and I think, yeah, those shows will just be fun. It’ll be fun to play with Gary Holt for a few gigs; I haven’t seen him in almost five years, so that will be cool. And it’ll be cool to get together with Tom Araya and spit some hate out at people, but don’t get used to this being a yearly event."
Kerry King has released his solo debut album, From Hell I Rise, via Reigning Phoenix Music. Stream / purchase From Hell I Rise here.
