Now I'm hearing it's false...fuck the internet.

 

[mrthrax]

all im hearing is that gary holt is still with slayer

 

[johnnieCzech]

if this is true then Hanneman looks like even bigger prick than you could think...

 

[Arg_Hamster]

April's fool?

 

[johnnieCzech]

Almost definitely so.

 

[Social Distortion]

Yeah, posted on April 1st.

Phew!!! As much as I know Slayer can't go forever and seem to be on the brink at times, I never wanna hear that they're calling it a day!!! That'll be a crappy day for metal.

Seeing them at Soundwave a few weeks ago I turned to my friend next to me and said that just might be the very last time we see them live. Sadly the health issues seem to becoming more regular of late. Tommy's a trooper but that back surgery was nothing to sneeze at.

I hope I'm wrong. Will be a sad day when they finally call it a day.

Both Metalinsider and MetalSucks did up Slayer spoofs about Hanneman's medical issues for April Fool's....Of course if you clicked on the link at the end of the articles, you'd know it was an April Fool's joke.

To be honest, they should have called it a day after Seasons In The Abyss.

^Really? Divine Intervention is pretty awesome.

Dammit I fell for it because you posted it AFTER April Fools.

I do like Divine Intervention, and Diabolus In Musica and God Hates Us All were good enough that I went out and bought them too.
I'm just thinking in terms of the bands status - if they'd chucked it after Seasons they'd have been untouchable. The last couple of albums have been pretty woeful IMO and even those others I mentioned were nowhere close to the earlier ones.

Good to hear, I freaked when I read that. A sub-par Slayer album is better than 90% of the shit out there now though.

 

[mrthrax]

I still think anthrax will outlast slayer

 

[Heavymetalzombie666]

agreed there!

I will disagree until the end. I love World Painted Blood. Love everything they have done except for Diabolus. I just cranked World Painted Blood today, Brutal album, classic Slayer. I know most of the bandwagon Slayer fans checked out after Season In The Abyss.... but the hardcore Slayer fans know whats up and still can appreciate the newer material. I personally get tired of hearing Angel of Death and Raining Blood over and over again. It is amazing they still are putting out quality/brutal thrash albums, unlike any of the other 'big 4' bands!

Soooo....'true' Slayer fans stick with the band through thick and thin while 'true' Anthrax fans stick to the Joey-era?

Confusing...
