The what's going on in Thrash thread

and maybe Holt on second guitar

People cling to the stupidest ideas! Why would Holt spend all this time writing new Exodus material, setting up tours for Exodus and talking up Exodus' return just to sit back and wait for Kerry to call? Take into account that Kerry says he wanted to start things rolling pre-pandemic, the same time Gary and Exodus were not just getting over the European Covid tour but planning to write and record.

This bullshit in the press and on forums about what Kerry is doing is nothing short of speculation, fuelled by the want to kick Kerry in the arse. Just like all this bullshit about how much he'd pay and how much Kerry is only in it for the money. Kerry could name his band tomorrow and fuckwits would still claim Paul, Gary and Phil are the true players. While at the same time still claiming that Gary must be taking a pay cut because Kerry is only interested in the money.

It is almost at conspiracy theory level proportions. Give the guy a break. All he wants to do is thrash out. I heard Chris Broderick was in....Oh wait I just made that up. :p

Both. Plus he believes his own press. This KK Slayer tour will humble him greatly. I give him credit for not bad-mouthing publicly Tom though, as Tom is clearly done with Slayer in every way and this frustrates KK to no end.

My prediction is that Bostaph will definitely be on drums, and maybe Holt on second guitar. Vocals is anyone's guess but I seriously doubt it will be Anselmo because he's just not responsible/dependable enough for a real touring band like KK is used to. Bass will be an unknown/near unknown who they can pay peanuts. There is zero chance Alex Skolnick will be the second guitarist in KK's new band.

How old is Kerry King? Late 50s? Early 60s? I can see how someone who has spent his life touring and rocking out would have a difficult time giving up the life and knowing when to say good bye to the fans.
 
He's 57 and I agree he didn't want to retire, that's why he suggested he'd start something else. Tom wanted family time and his injuries were catching up with him so he called it quits. I'm sure both would have liked to continue and I'm sure the decision to pull the pin on the band would have been mutual. How that makes Kerry frustrated is beyond me, it's not like Tom is stopping him doing anything, Kerry even said when he came back it whatever he did would sound like Slayer. Doesn't sound like a frustrated person to me.
