Slayer's Kerry King comments on Dave Lombardo

In an interview conducted this past week with Christina Rowatt of Soundwave TV, Slayer guitarist Kerry King was asked about the status of currently jettisoned drummer Dave Lombardo. King had the following to say:
"This just happened a week ago... ten days ago, so I mean, I don't know... It's unfortunate that Dave couldn't be with us; I planned on him being here up until the Monday before I left. And then I saw trouble in paradise, and since I am the mastermind on making decisions like this, I was, like, 'Alright, I've got a backup plan. Just in case.' Cause I would have hated to have just Australia blown out. Can you imagine how shitty that would have been? So I did what I thought was best, and we pulled it off.
King was then asked whether he saw the dispute coming, to which King responded:
"Tom [Araya] did. Tom's been on the fence about Dave for awhile and I was pretty much the one that said, 'Nah, I'm not comfortable moving on [without Dave].' And then it got thrust in our face and I took action immediately and I got a very lucky culmination of things that happened."

Bad tribal tattoos and long beards in ponytails are still stoked.

Slayer sucks anyways. Been releasing the same record for 20 years.

This is surprisingly one of the more well-handled responses on the topic of ex-bandmates, especially considering that it's from Kerry King.

Kerry c*nt LLC, because when it comes to satan, legal matters are never second. What a gay, atleast Kerry will have more money to buy flaming body armor to protect himself from financial mis-management and bad tax decisions, First class Plane-flip.

PainINtheTIGHTpants 3/2/2013 12:28:38 AM

As much as ill always be down with Slayer, ill feel better knowing that Kerry King is zero part of why they're so amazing.

anonymous 3/2/2013 2:30:44 AM

Remember when Kerry had long hair and wasn't fat

anonymous 3/2/2013 3:00:41 AM

I CALL BULLSHIT

Slayer LLC Inc.

anonymous 3/2/2013 9:24:06 AM

This guy is an ego maniac! Ive been a slayer fan for damn near 20 years too. listen ferry kerry! your fcking bald bloated and ugly as fck. play sloppy most of the time and speak poorly on just about everyone! you need a diet a gym and some metronome work!

anonymous 3/2/2013 9:51:45 AM

King is the Courtney Love of Slayer

anonymous 3/2/2013 10:54:42 AM

In other words he had no problems with Dave until he asked for more money. Then he took care of it real quick before they tour Australia and make bank. gays!!!

anonymous 3/2/2013 12:35:16 PM

Dave is a legit dude, he cares about the fans. King's a greedy poser. Baffled as to why Lombardo ever got back with them

alexkessis 3/2/2013 1:12:08 PM

Slayer is not the same without Dave Lombardo... He's the godfather of double bass drummers!

anonymous 3/2/2013 2:07:00 PM

Paul Bostaph is probably stoked. Or maybe not.

long_insured_now 3/2/2013 3:23:09 PM

I'm the mastermind, but it wasn't me, it was Tom! Thank god Jeff writes all the good riffs in this band.

anonymous 3/2/2013 4:35:53 PM

I just think its amazing that Kerry King is so fat, yet manages to suck his own dck effortlessly.

anonymous 3/2/2013 5:46:58 PM

Slayer LLC Inc. A bit redundant, no?

anonymous 3/2/2013 5:48:30 PM

BTW, know what is fun about the captchas you have to type in to comment? It doesn't pay attention to the normal word, just the twisted one. So go ahead, next time you post, type in POOPSPRAY as the first word and live a little.

dirk_badoodi 3/2/2013 5:54:40 PM

boyfriend issues? It's ok though after all the great things Slayer has done for the LGBT community. Truly innnspiring (lisp inserted here).

anonymous 3/3/2013 7:30:59 PM

This coming from one of the shittiest guitarists in metal. Both King and Slayer are a joke.

anonymous 3/8/2013 6:31:48 AM

King is a money-grubbing scumbag band traitor and a huge hypocrite. Don't give him a single dollar of your money until he pulls his head out of his dumb ass.

anonymous 3/21/2013 9:43:18 AM

It takes all 4 of the original slayer band mates to make slayers music what it once was. kerry is going to have to prove he's got some content of charecter for fans to take him serious from now on. pink floyd(dave,richard, nick, roger) black sabbath(original line up) and mettalica(cliff james, lars, kirk) were great but when the line ups changed and then money and ego took over you lost something.
