Slayer ditch drummer and founding member Dave Lombardo

Aww man, it always saddens me to see drama in iconic bands like Slayer. The band has marked my teenage years, and seeing them live is just about as awesome as a concert can get. A founding member of Slayer, drummer Dave Lombardo, has been removed from the band’s Australian tour over a contract dispute. Lombardo put quite a length post on his Facebook, explaining (from his point of view) the conditions that led to…

Silvertone, 1989 Hello, ZME. It has been a while, hasn’t it? You’ll have to forgive me. I fell off the face of this benevolent cyber-planet due to some bizarre misconception that I had anything better to do.
