[The_Dover]

i'm not sure I can take old men doing death metal too seriously.

these guys must be knocking fifty now, kerry king can probably only keep the riffage up cos of parkinsons or some shit...

[James Deuce]

Nah Dover the latest album is unreal, and they're only knocking 40 mate.

Dave Lombardo is SOOOO much better than Paul Bostaph in this band.

Just about worth the trip for those feet.

OH. HELL. YES.

I have had lessons with some of the best in NZ.....I have seen some of the best in the world at drum clinics.... Dave is well worth seeing live.

Dave Lombardo (Sr.) (February 16 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_16), 1965 (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1965), Havana (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Havana), Cuba (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cuba))<sup id="_ref-0" class="reference">[1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Lombardo#_note-0)</sup> is a drummer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drummer), best known as a member of Slayer (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayer).
Lombardo's work with Slayer has been called "astonishingly innovative." <sup id="_ref-1" class="reference">[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Lombardo#_note-1)</sup>
His extremely able playing in all his repertoire and especially his live work has earned him a great reputation and consistent mentions in drum magazines and drum polls.

During the 2006 Unholy Alliance tour, Kerry King has stated that Dave Lombardo is a major attraction for the fans, and one of the reasons for their surge in popularity.

So, I've seen one of Seb's idols live, should I make the trip up for this one?

[notme]

I have many videos of my idols..... :rockon:

[Devil]

Saw Dave play twice here when he was with Fantomas. Awesome having the drum kit side on to the stage so you could see everything!

[Lias]

I have many videos of my idols..... :rockon:

Can I book your couch for this?

I am SO there.

Have they been in NZ since they toured with Biohazard years ago? I think it was the Divine Intervention tour. That was the last time I saw them.. I was young lol.

Yep, they played at the Powerstation in AKL for the Diabolus tour. They didn't come here for God Hates Us All.

[Deviant Esq]

Are they coming to Christchurch? Probably not I'm thinking. Pity really, I'd have liked to go. Unless anyone in Aucks is going and doesn't mind lending me the couch!

[outlawtorn]

I'm so fucking there baby!!! Especially with the best drummer in the world behind the kit again for them, I've been listening to them since South Of Heaven, they are just fucking amazing. I was lucky enough to see Dave with Grip Inc. in London which was equally amazing.

See y'all at the show baby!!!!

[crash harry]

Won't be here. Gutted.

[MisterD]

I'm too old for that kind of thing now, and I never really liked 'em that much when I wasn't.
Y'all have fun and don't over-do the head banging ay.

You're never too old, that kind of talk makes you old before your time dude!!! Come on grandad:dodge: , it'll be fun....he he

[SlashWylde]

YES! It's not often you get a chance to see a band as legendary as Slayer. And their latest material kicks ass.

The boys in Slayer don't consider themselves too old, so why should you? :)

[SlashWylde]

[QUOTE=Lias;897195]Can I book your couch for this?

I think that can be arranged :)

[Deano]

I haven't heard their latest album - I saw them at the town hall in Wgtn in 95 Awesome stuff.

[Slayer]

Alright!!!!!!!!!! Have been waiting along time to see these guys again.

Can anyone recommend a decent place to stay, or are than any KB'ers that want to let a hardcore SLAYER fan crash on their couch, floor......

Hanging out for this already, and there is still 3 months to go.

A couple of photo's to show you what I mean about being a slayer fan. :Punk:

Aren't they playing at the St James in Wgtn ?

You are pretty close already.....

[Slayer]

I wish it was in Wgtn, but it is Queen St, Akld.

[Drum]

Alright!!!!!!!!!!

Gees, took ya a while to find the thread mate!

[Slayer]

Mate......I was away for the weekend, out at the beach, with no internet.

Only got back to town this morning.

I remember the last concert took me 3 days to recover from the ringing in my ears and the crick in my neck. :Punk:

[megageoff76]

[QUOTEI remember the last concert took me 3 days to recover from the ringing in my ears and the crick in my neck. :Punk:[/QUOTE]

If you saw them at the Wgtn Town Hall in 1995 then i had that same problem.
Worth every second though...awesome.

[Slayer]

March 20 1995, alright!!!!!!!!

Yeah.....with Biohazard, and some other support band from Wgtn, who weren't too bad if I remember rightly.

[Matt Bleck]

I saw them in 95, farking awesome, the highlight for me was watching some poor bastard get THROWN off the mezzanine floor!

[Lias]

It was the old town hall I think (for the welly concert at least) back in 1995 if my memory serves me correctly.. And I think Fat Mannequin opened.

I remember it being alot calmer than the first Pantera tour I saw at the old town hall. They were late opening the doors and this crowd of guys at the front of the crowd (whole square thing was packed) were on the verge of smashing the doors down (rattling the doors, bashing them with fists etc) and the whole sea of people was chanting PAN-TE-RA.. PAN-TE-RA.. and some lil stressed out dude cam onto the outside balcony with a megaphone trying to pacify everyone.

Ahh memories.

lol think me and you might actually be able to ride up together this time?


I'm so fucking there baby!!!
Hehe, replay of the BLS concert?


YES! It's not often you get a chance to see a band as legendary as Slayer. And their latest material kicks ass.

Righto, count me in then. Do it like last time Seb? I wire you the money and such?
(reminds me I still have to pay you back for the Keltic fair thing)

Mastodon are the supporting act, anyone know what they are like?

[outlawtorn]

Mastodon are the supporting act, anyone know what they are like?
They are really good, very intense, took me a while to get used to their stuff but I reckon a good opener for Slayer anyhow. Leviathan is their best album I reckon.

[Slayer]

Thanks outlaw, might download some stuff tonight!

[N4CR]

mastodon are the supporting act, anyone know what they are like?
