slayer90Please, please, please come to the UK.

Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo has spoken out about the possibility of Slayer and Megadeth continuing to tour together for the future. After recently completing a run in Canada together and with further shows now booked for Australia, Lombardo has confirmed that there is a chance that the bands will take their tour across the US.

Speaking to the Rock N Roll Experience, Lombardo confirmed: “There are rumors going around that we might be doing something in the States with Mustaine… with Megadeth.”

Dear (dark) Lord, if you’re out there please make this tour come to the UK! Slayer and Megadeth in one evening? Yes, please!

If these two bands have any sense then they will tour the world together.
I don’t have a lot of money, and I don’t go to many concerts, but I would pay to see this.

And then Metallica headlining, now that’d be sweet. Chuck Anthrax in there too and it’d be a droolfest.

Actually “me” – I think you’ll find if Metallica and Anthrax were in on it as well, it would be called “Clash of the Titans”, and we’d all have been magically transported back to the mid-80’s at our current ages – which would be nice, as back then I was about 10 and waaayyy to young to have gone :-(

Ibis69 – I didn’t suggest a name for it though? But damn that’d be good wouldn’t it?! I was born in ‘80, so was waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too young…

I wasn’t suggesting a name – that was an actual tour!!

and I dare say some folk will now correct me on who exactly was on it, but it was still way sick…

Megadeth and Slayer will suit me just fine as I think they are the better of the four bands mentioned. That’s not to say I don’t really like Metallica’s older material and I don’t mind a bit of Anthrax.

Slayer and Megadeth would be great though, as a realistic opener I would suggest Testament or Kreator – now that would be a tour.

Ibis – I know it was, it was just that your wording gave the impression I’d suggested a name. And I think it was Testament instead of Megadeth?

Just been looking on the net, and apparently it was Megadeth & Slayer, with (depending on when/where you saw it) 2 of the following: Anthrax, Testament, Suicidal Tendencies, Alice in Chains…

Either way, pretty much all the above and/or TheInnovator’s suggestions would be ace!

Come on Metal Hammer – Sponsor this tour now and live up to your name!!!

Really? I didn’t realise AIC were involved. They were bloody good at Sonisphere, so get them involved too. Never really got into ST, so not bothered about them.

seen something on blabbermouth with an interview wi mustaine and he said there booking a world tour jst now, almost certain to be megadeth slayer in the us and hes thinking of another priest feast style uk tour, which would probs b with slayer agen

Alice In Chains would be a great addition, although I think that a thrash band would fit more with the general feel of things. Any line up that has Megadeth and Slayer would get me very excited and with the exception of Suicidal Tendencies, simply because I haven’t checked them out so cannot comment, any of the mentioned bands would get me even more excited!

Other considerations could be; Exodus, Sodom, Destruction and Evile. To be honest with the popularity of Thrash rising again I could see potential for a one day Thrash event/ long evening.

YES.FUCKING.PLEASE. Would be amazing seeing them together.

As much as I love some of Slayer’s stuff, especially Reign In Blood, I wouldn’t miss them if I didn’t see them because they’ve been part of so many tours and festivals, that I’m a bit Slayer’d out. Plus, they never seem to put on much of a show, just get on with playing which isn’t necessarily bad, but once in a while would be nice.

RATTLEHEAD

I got my ticket for one of the Aussie shows today!!! GONNA BE AWESOME!!! lml

Check out Suicidal Tendencies if you get the chance. Frickin’ imense band (think ’surfer thrash metal’ haha). Youtube the song ‘You Cant Bring Me Down’ n’ see what i mean.

Megadeth and Slayer together? hell yes i’ll have some of that please!

id rather have slayer megadeth and exodus than slayer megadeth and metallica

Kris Dobo

UK please

……………………………………………………………………..

COME TO THE UK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Although I wish I went to the Priest Feast to be fair :(

Heh when I read the headline I was expecting to hear that Mustaine and King had cancelled the tour due to “personal differences”

Slayer AND Megadeth??? They better get their arses over to Ireland for a date or two!!

the duke

Screw metallic their for posers.

Hahaha got my aussie tickets yesterday.

This almost makes up for the rest of the planet seemingly having maps from 1750 without Aus on them and avoiding us like the plague.

SLAYEERRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

MEEEEGGGAAAADDEEEEETTTTTHHHH!!!!!!!!!

wrightsnake

No thanks. I don’t want to have to put up with seeing Slayer live again. And I wouldn’t want to have to pay extra because of Slayer being there. Megadeth on their own, please.

prettihaytmachine

Super line up for a UK show, memories of the 80,s ahh, forget metallica tho, those two and testament,
ps i was a massive metallica fan pre LOAD

LIKE F**K Megadeth are sh*t. Slayer Anthrax that’s a tour I’d love to see….
