After 35 years, Slayer decided to call it quits. They have announced a US leg of the farewell tour, probably doing the European Metal festivals this summer.
Love em or hate em, they led the charge to Metal Royalty in the 80's and 90's. Just please don't do a KISS or Judas Priest final tour...over and over.

I caught Slayer live twice. Late 90's/early 00's. The first one was maybe a 4,000 person venue (ice hall), and it was cool though I didn't know their material that well.
The second time was in a festival and I was already a semi-big fan (seems like I never took the final step into total fandom). That was the God Hates Us All tour. I got the whole experience, mosh pit and tour t-shirt and all.
I always liked a couple other thrash bands a little better (eg. Testament, Annihilator), but I do own 4 of their CD's and still think of them fondly. I think they've contributed a lot, and eventhough "farewell tour" means nothing nowadays, I think that means I won't be having much to do with them anymore, as I haven't bought a CD of theirs in ages anyway. I guess they keep recording, maybe.

Tom Araya ( singer) used to do the hair whip all set long. He's had neck surgery, and at most just nod's now. Im sure he's the one behind retirement.
But just wait, there will be a whiskey , or beer lineup to rake in cash soon. I think Mötorhead released a beer recently, even though all 3 original members are deceased.

The Motörhead Bastards Lager has been around for years. |
