Glad Dave had a bash at Kerry! Kerry deserves it! Dave and Jeff were the key ingredients of Slayer!

lombardo and hanneman make slayer for me. with both of them gone its just no the same.

The Comedy Central roast of Kerry King Hosted by roast master Dave Lombardo. Who else would pay money to see that?

With Hanneman now gone its hard to like Slayer as much as did. With Lombardo gone its impossible.

As a drummer myself I love Dave hes a down to business guy plays his ass off and Ive never seen him all fucked up ever

When Lars was ill who did he call to fill in? Dave fucking Lombardo that's who!!

Dave is a better person and musician than Kerry from here to Havana round trip

personally I thought Jeff and Dave were the best members of the band. i don't even recognize them as slayer anymore, just KK and Tom milking the name.

There is no Slayer without Tom's voice.

Well, he's clearly a lot smarter than Kerry King.

Absolutely agree, their impact is huuuuge, no need to be great guitarists, but really in the style they're playing, they're probably The Best anyways. Though still the fact that drummers like Dave were hard to find back then, hence I think he's had a bigger impact on the scene than them... he was virtually alone playing the way he had, fast & brutal like no other at the time. Glad to hear Jeff was the reason you'd picked up a guitar, he's my fave guy in Slayer as well, best songs he'd wrote...

yeah its was very hard to find such a great drummer, but remmember that when they hooked up dave was still doing pizza deliveries and drumming for him was just a hobby. he did an amazing job learning so fast and so good without a teacher , and so did jeff. just look at how many "insane" drummers these days have well know teachers and yet they havent done anything memorable..xd

this is awsome daves had a few and sayin what he feels

Jeff's always gotten along with everyone (at least publicly). I've never seen him go out of his way to talk smack about any other musician but I'm sure he has his fair share of people that he generally hates.

The music in the background is from the 1978 movie.... Dawn of the Dead.... Classic.... Lombardo rules!\m/

There is also a live version of Payback where Dave does double bass at the end of Payback where the chorus repeats itself. Listen to that, and type to me with a straight face that headbanging isn't required. \m/

With the music in the background I cannot help but die laughing from this interview.

Um, Paul and Dave are two different drummers. Paul played with brutality, and Dave played with aggressive feel. Listen to the fills on Ghosts of War, Hallowed Point and the coup de grace, the live version of Chemical Warfare. As a drummer myself (and I can prove it if asked) Dave can play the songs slayer did with Paul to the T if he wanted to, but plays them with his own added style to it. Paul is awesome, and when I first heard Divine Intervention, I had a hard on, but Dave>Paul IMO. :)

perfect background music for a slayer interview.

On the Big Four tour, they decided to play Am I Evil instead of some other song that they had previously chosen to all perform together. Kerry King refused to go up there and play Am I Evil with everyone.

Yeah man, my best friend met him, too, and said the exact same thing.

Dude, this was SO long ago...back in the '90s...Lombardo was invited back and spent almost a decade with the band after this.

What romantic background music for such a heavy topic.

Whats funny is Lars doesn't even look like Ross Halfin that much

A guy named Paul Bostaph took over in about 93-94, and play drums on Slayer's 'Divine Intervention' album. Paul is a kick-ass drummer on this album, and now he plays drums for Testament.

The music reminds me of "Cinemax After Dark" from back in the day.

jeff wrote the great shit anyway!!!

it's an old interview with Fantomas, where Dave joined Mike Patton for a while. Dave already left Slayer for some time and appearantly didn't departured on a real friendly basis

Any idea what show or year this video is from? Thank you!

When was this filmed?

Maybe he'll live long enough to write a decent riff!

Yea I seen that in another with Dave, he said that Kerry was still booking a lot of their tours at the time and the same day he and his wife found out they were having a child he told Kerry about it and that he was he good to tour all the way up to September the month the baby was due. Said he didnt hear anything until late August, Kerry called up and said Dave we got some big shows show next month you gotta be there!! Thats really fucked up on many levels!!

@mcfarlanehunter True, I read his interview and he said he approached the band with a knife actually hidden, if you can believe this, because he wasn't sure of how the band would react. He said they were cool about it, which surprised him. After he quit, he told Modern Drummer magazine he made just as much money as a security guard, but, thankfully he's back. Kerry just has a certain attitude, some people are like that, and won't change. I see them doing interviews together now

I always thought lars ulrich looked like roger taylor from queen

Dave does like his coffee. I can only drink it in the a.m., not an evening drink for me.

One of the comments stated Jeff wrote the music and Querry King wrote the lyrics, basically that's untrue, we all know Jeff wrote "Angel" Tom wrote "South Of Heaven" (the song) etc etc and here is a little SLAYER trivia-Does anyone know who drew the famous SLAYER pentagram/sword logo?

2 years later he rejoined Slayer lmao

Kerry is a nice guy with a bit of ego problem. I'm allmost finished second time of reading Slayer book. And there was written this situation many pages. For those who do not know that Dave has left the band two times. Third time was temporal at the beginning, but things did go well and the rest is history. I could tell more of the book but my english is too bad for that. For this text i had to use dictionary to get some words right.. :) All members have something that Slayer needs to work.

You are correct on Dittohead, he doesn't really capture the work from Divine that well. Payback and Stain Of Mind is however not played wrong at all, Payback is thrashy and straight-forward and Stain is pretty simple acually. Dave does Disciple in his own way, though I like Bostaph's version better. But Dave plays the old stuff from 83-90 in a whole new ways that sounds fantasic, and I also like new stuff. In the end, I think of Bostaph and Lombardo as equals.

When was this video taken? This certainly wouldn't have aided any future business negotiations with the band. Oy. O.O

No I like Slayer, I just dont like Kerry King.

that was excellent

He actually left Testament a few months ago =/ They have Gene Hoglan filling in for their new album/tour with Chris Adler doing a few songs.

....way to go Dave!....KK swallow that!

Well said.

when was this made

@thrashtilldeth24 The good news is that they seem to be getting along together just fine now, and maybe Kerry realized that he had the best drummer in thrash metal in his band who also just happened to be a real nice guy. Just check out some Dave interviews and clinics. He loves giving back to the fans.

thats absolutely true

Hahaha I had no idea this vid existed!

I'm glad Dave and Kerry are settled now.

eine coffee bitte! haha geil! dave lombardo is so cool

I don't know if it's true... But I heard that Tom wanted them to play the four horsemen and the other bands didn't want to.... And it came out that Slayer would not go on stage, claiming that they had to edit their DVD.

Anything Lombard's a part of sounds a hell of a lot better than if he wasn't.. I was listening to a Testament Cd the year it was released. Got on a Jet and was going to Mardi Gras. I really liked that cd a lot! It went into regular play for years. A few years after playing it I was looking at the cd cover and noticed... Lombardo was on drums!! I thought.. No wonder..

ur spot on!

Dave Lombardo is the phenomenon of thrash sound!!! He is THE thrash drummer, it's his simple straight-forward style that became archetypeal & synonymous for thrash & most influencial for all the other extreme metal genres as well. Who needs a technical drummer for thrash & Slayer??? So, he is THE most important member of Slayer, even if fans today don't realize it (anymore). Best drummer of the Big 4 & best thrash drummer in history. (can't say any other guy in Slayer is No.1.)

Love his attempts at speaking German lol.. 😅 😂

That depends. Will he allow Slayer to continue recording and touring without Jeff? I'd like to see what he does after the band's current touring commitments and what will happen with the songs they supposedly recorded thus far for a new album. If he goes on like business as usual, it's a slap in the face to Jeff's memory. They're basically a tribute band at this point with only 2 original members. IMO, they should call it quits after all current touring obligations are finished.

Is that Patton on the right?

Dave. It's March 23rd. 2015 and I bet you're begging for this video it never existed

As of this VERY MOMENT..is he still with Slayer?

Patton and lambardo. Legendary

so funny.... and both are great friends and of course everyone else know, Damn assess!;

Slayer is Dead, the music lives on!

I think when he meant "fatter", they were talking about Crowbar.

Why not both?

and now Dave is back with Kerry in Slayer :-) I guess there is no need to love each other to play the music. Fantomas was interesting gig but I never was a big fan. I really love the other Dave's band - Grip Inc.

Why was Dave making fun of Kerry ? And his German skills are awesome hahahaha 😂

Kerry King would cry about fat shaming if Dave said that now

Really hope he gets all the money he deserves from that huge back catalogue...

Kerry's words, he was mixing something for the broadcast and said he didn't have time to learn it. I learned that song when I was 16 years old all the time knowing sweet fuck all how to play the guitar. After today's news about Lombardo being kicked out of Slayer I guess I'll just download my Slayer stuff from now on.

Kerry King is ALWAYS talking shit about someone. He did it to Lombardo when he got kicked out and he did it to Bostaph when he left. He's got a huge mouth when it comes to that but he usually makes nice with them eventually.

This does NOT sound like a "recent" interview. Of course... What do I know?

@mcfarlanehunter So he did. My mistake.

I have always thought Jeff was better.

I agree, the problem is that Kerry has the most of what Slayer needs to NOT work...

Lombardo as a drummer completed Slayer's reign as the supreme thrash band of the 80's. And there was a time when Lombardo left the band for a while wasn't as good. During the 90s, Slayer wasn't as good as other bands sorry to say.

Mike Patton on the right? Instigating? hahaha Love Mike.

I searched for a picture of this Ross Halfin, he doesnt look like Lars at all : /

Eine kleine coffee LOL

your english is still better than most other people who can only speak it

i met this guy one time, bad feels! "i'm a star" , prefer Paul!!! backstage lyon with machine head 1994, give a terror crew t-shirt 2 chris, u can see it on "old" vidéo, respect.

@Jerlombardo29 Actually in Modern Drummer magazine he said he left because of band member friction , probably from Kerry, but Kerry is outspoken and often comments on other people's ability, like Mustaine. Come on, it's Slayer, they have to have Undisisputed Attitude! lol My guitar friend met Dave and said he was really cool to him, and every clip I see of Dave shows he's an extremely nice guy. He does drum clinics, I don't see other Slayer members doing clinics. but Slayer rules

In the early, early days? Tony Scaglione.

Oooh dayum noh he dint!

His father was a airplane parts inspector

... uh, the drummer for Slayer?

@Palafour haha good one!

not anymore

Quite true, I absolutely agree: no Jeff, no biggest hits in Slayer...thus no Slayer. though Dave Lombardo is probably The biggest influence on the drummers of extreme metal genres in general... probably one couldn't say the same either for Jeff (or Kerry) as far as guitar...

hey Dave, lets start a band? What do ya say?

Yeah a pretty low blow toward someone dave was basically brothers with for years and helped make him who he is. Slayer and Pantera got me thru the 90s totally..lol

Jeffs name is next to every Slayer song up until God Hates Us All.

@rpdecorators Me too, my guitarist friend likes Grip almost as much as Slayer.

Tom Araya, mate, fucking Tom "Still Scares The Shit Outta Me Even After 25 Years" Araya. :)

KK is one of the most one dimensional guitarist ever. That band in general too.

SMOOTH JAZZ FUCK YEAH! \m/ \m/

And Kerry did t want Dave back but jeff DID !!! That’s why Dave got back in.

@GeneLattanzi no i agree.

Kerry's mellowed out quite a bit over the last 10 years or so, but he's still a weird guy...he seems to be completely devoid of emotion or human warmth. Now, I know you're thinking, "No shit...he's in SLAYER"...but c'mon. He takes his persona way too far. Look at Tom Araya...still a heavy metal badass, but he's a very thoughtful, warm guy. I just wish Kerry would drop his tough guy shtick.

@nando88 Dave and Tom have proved to be generally nice guys through the years, from what I've seen.
