lisa holt slayer

Lisa Holt, wife of Slayer guitarist Gary Holt, has stood by the band's choice to come together this fall for a pair of headline festival appearances, breaking their five-year hiatus since concluding the "farewell" tour in 2019. 

The announcement revealed that Holt, along with bassist/singer Tom Araya, guitarist Kerry King, and drummer Paul Bostaph, will take the stage at Chicago's Riot Fest on September 22nd and Louisville's Louder Than Life on September 27th. These performances are being promoted as Slayers's first shows since November 2019.

Lisa Holt shared the following post via her Facebook:

Yes,it's true..and an exciting  adventure for  the band and fans ! To all the people saying "they are liars" "they must have ran out of money" "its not Slayer without so and so" ..I have an idea  for you all...DON'T  GO.. and for all the people who did go to the final tour dates and enjoyed it...awesome!! This isn't a "TOUR" it's some dates..and GREAT NEWS!!!  And everyone that thinks they know all the inside info..you can't possibly know.so just enjoy the fact that this amazing band will play some amazing shows this year...go or don't..nobody cares!!!!!

Marty from Zao here. I don't have a wife but if I did she wouldn't be talking about my tour dates.

anonymous 2/22/2024 5:55:12 AM

Todd Jones here. She will never be one of us.

anonymous 2/22/2024 6:07:23 AM

This is due to the average slayer fan being retarded and not knowing how to read.

toxicnacho 2/22/2024 6:27:42 AM

Nobody cares.

anonymous 2/22/2024 7:11:03 AM

Who still cares about Slayer?

anonymous 2/22/2024 7:41:46 AM

Why do all these bands continue to do "Farewell Tours" and continue to play shows after the fact? It is an absolute joke to their fans who support them, regardless of the band. Then, the wife commenting on it in their defense is pure gold.

anonymous 2/22/2024 7:46:07 AM

She said it best NOBODY CARES!

anonymous 2/22/2024 8:27:27 AM

who the f*ck asked her

anonymous 2/22/2024 8:45:02 AM

"don't go" shut up bitch, fans are allowed to share opinions. also why is this broad flapping her dsl's like she's a spokesperson for Slayer? breaking news ass bitch

anonymous 2/22/2024 9:09:45 AM

"Why do all these bands continue to do "Farewell Tours" and continue to play shows after the fact? It is an absolute joke to their fans who support them, regardless of the band. Then, the wife commenting on it in their defense is pure gold." Yeah, this is rich especially coming after King's wife ranting at fans basically since they broke up about how SHE WOULD KNOW THAT THEY'RE DONE!! Such clownery.

anonymous 2/22/2024 9:10:51 AM

"don't go" shut up bitch, fans are allowed to share opinions. also why is this broad flapping her dsl's like she's a spokesperson for Slayer? breaking news ass bitch Yeah man what's up with these wives and gfs of bands/singers being allowed to have a soapbox? STFU and just keep enjoying the lifestyle hoe

anonymous 2/22/2024 9:22:30 AM

Let's not forget it has only a best case scenario of being 50% of slayer

anonymous 2/22/2024 9:55:17 AM

Why do all these bands continue to do "Farewell Tours" and continue to play shows after the fact? It is an absolute joke to their fans who support them, regardless of the band. ^wrong, retard, the fact that tens of thousands of fans line up to see said bands disproves your moronic point entirely. plenty of the same fans who paid to see Slayer on their farewell tour will eagerly do so again, nerd.

Infernus here, aka Roger Tiegs, the indomitable force behind the black metal stronghold Gorgoroth. As the ideological backbone of my infernal creation, I find it perplexing that Gary Holt's wife feels entitled to voice opinions on Slayer's affairs. Let's not forget, I've weathered legal storms, faced controversies, and emerged victorious in the battle for Gorgoroth's name. My contributions to black metal history stand unmatched. Meanwhile, Holt's wife appears to wade into matters beyond her ken. Gary Holt, a guitarist in a band that strays far from the infernal realms of black metal, now becomes the subject of her commentary. One might think she'd better focus on the affairs of Exodus rather than opining on bands with a more diabolical lineage. While Slayer's decisions might concern their fanbase, they surely don't warrant unsolicited remarks from those unacquainted with the intricacies of the metal underworld.

anonymous 2/22/2024 10:53:45 AM

Lmao at her trying to make it all about herself, typical woman move

anonymous 2/22/2024 11:16:47 AM

^incel gonna incel.

anonymous 2/22/2024 11:50:38 AM

Gary Holt here, the riff-master of thrash metal, leading the charge with Exodus and wielding the six-string for Slayer. Now, as for you, Infernus... My wife, Lisa, has every right to voice her thoughts on Slayer's affairs. As a seasoned metal veteran, I appreciate her insights into the industry. Her support means a lot. Infernus, your claim that she can't comment is baseless. I've earned my stripes with Exodus and Slayer, endorsed by ESP Guitars. Lisa's perspective is as valid as any fan's. Consider the vastness of metal before casting aspersions. Keep the horns high, and let the metal flow.

anonymous 2/22/2024 11:54:39 AM

Infernus here, aka Roger Tiegs, Satan's Minister on Earth. Holt, your feeble defense of your wife only reveals weakness. I, who've walked the frigid wastelands, find her commentary irrelevant. The satanic forces that guide me scoff at such trivial matters. My blackened heart knows no compromise. Your endorsements won't shield you from the flames of true black metal. Prepare for the abyss.

anonymous 2/22/2024 12:58:06 PM

Who asked this bitch anything

anonymous 2/22/2024 1:04:35 PM

"^wrong, retard, the fact that tens of thousands of fans line up to see said bands disproves your moronic point entirely. plenty of the same fans who paid to see Slayer on their farewell tour will eagerly do so again, nerd." Calm down there, neck beard. Just become your mom forgot the pizza rolls doesn't mean you gotta take it out on everyone else.

anonymous 2/22/2024 1:16:48 PM

slayer sucks. this woman sucks. shut your f*cking mouth bitch.

anonymous 2/22/2024 1:18:59 PM

thanks for reporting what the throwaway nobody member of Slayer's wife said

anonymous 2/22/2024 3:37:44 PM

Momma bear calling the shots

anonymous 2/22/2024 7:08:13 PM

Have we heard from anyone in the drummer's family yet??

anonymous 2/23/2024 6:47:55 AM

Tupac had his dookie tell him going to Vegas was a good idea once.

anonymous 2/23/2024 11:27:35 AM

Thanks f*cking Lisa

anonymous 304 days ago

This comment is way late, but Lisa Holt posted this on HER Facebook page, not to a reporter or group forum, and what's with all the hate??? Jealous or something, then Gary stands up for his wife (as a man should) and is shot down. They interact with the fans, but the way a lot are behaving, it won't last. All this pointless bitching, I guess we all didn't grow up and mature
