Kerry King Says Slayer Will Never Tour or Release Another Album
I guess we should be okay with this…? Even though Slayer is on a reunion tour currently, it doesn’t seem like they’ll ever tour again, or even release another fuckin album. At least, that’s what the band’s guitarist Kerry King said in a recent interview with Metal Roos. Watch it below.
“We’re never gonna tour again. We’re never gonna make a record again. Mark my word: we’re never gonna make a record again, we’re never gonna tour again. Because that was the last thing. We said [back in 2018], ‘This is our final tour.’ It took five years for us to come and say, ‘Hey, here’s a couple of shows, five-year anniversary.’”
Goddamn dude. We get it. We’re marking your word, and forcing ourselves to be okay with whatever this damn nonsense is you’re talking about, Kerry. I guess it’s cool to try and save the integrity of the band by not going on one of those gimmicky reunion tours for the sake of the money, but I feel like Slayer might be the one band everyone would be okay with when it comes to that. Oh well, guess we’ll never fuckin know! (Possibly, but I have a feeling we really will hear from Slayer again. Don’t mark my word, though).
