SLAYER Guitarist On 'Strangest Bit Of Loyalty' He Has Seen From A Fan

March 11, 2011

Higgo of Australia's long-running rock station Triple M spoke to SLAYER drummer Dave Lombardo and guitarist Kerry King about the "strangest bit of loyalty" they have seen from a SLAYER fan in their time. Check out Kerry's answer in the video clip below.

SLAYER returned to the live stage on March 4 at the Melbourne stop of Australia's Soundwave traveling festival less than a week after the band's frontman Tom Araya was hospitalized because he was suffering from what his wife said was "vertigo due to extreme dehydration and lack of rest."

SLAYER was forced to cancel its appearance at the Sydney, Australia stop of the Soundwave festival on February 27 as a result of Araya's illness.

SLAYER is currently on the road without founding guitarist Jeff Hanneman, who underwent emergency surgery on his right arm in January after contracting a serious infection, possibly caused by a spider bite. He is now recuperating at home and is expected to make a full recovery. He will return to the SLAYER lineup as soon as he has fully recovered.

Hanneman's temporary replacement for the Soundwave festival is Gary Holt from veteran San Francisco Bay Area thrashers EXODUS.
